Great example of early prog rock, but Brain Salad Surgery is a better complete album

Eternally Yours

The Saints

5/5

Surprisingly refreshing!

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Surprisingly diverse. Only complaint is Billy's sometimes nasal grinding voice

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

My favorite album by this band. It is a classic. A complete work.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

1/5

I understand why this is on the list since it represents Gansta Rap. But this is not for me. Same tempo to each song, same drum track, lyrics are either about killing with guns or victimizing women.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

Loved the soulful feel. Horns and strings were a nice bonus.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

This is a good album showing the versatility of the band. It has a lot of their classics on it.

Roots

Sepultura

3/5

Screamo. Not my favorite, but the music is alright!

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

White Light

Gene Clark

3/5

Kind of boring. He is a good lyricist and the harmonica is great, but everything else was mediocre

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

2/5

This was vanilla as they come. I found nothing remarkable about this album. I did not need to listen to this album before I die.

Adele

4/5

What a beautiful soulful voice. I could listen to her for hours.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

I’ve always wanted to like Dylan. I guess I just don’t get it.

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

This is a fine album. Nothing earth-shattering

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

3/5

I didn't find a lot special about this other than the bass guitar had some nice rhythms

Peter Gabriel

3/5

This was the height of the 80's techno phase. OK album, but it wasn't anything special for me. Sledgehammer is the only memorable song.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

5/5

Great example of early prog rock, but Brain Salad Surgery is a better complete album

Sincere

Mj Cole

3/5

This is an ok sound. Good rhythms but not really my kind of music

4/5

Good album near the end of Jim Morrison’s life

Great album by a pioneer in rock music.

3/5

Weird tones and voices

Station To Station

Different than the other David Bowie albums. Longer cuts not designed for radio play. Overall, OK

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

3/5

Decent and unique.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Not a fan. Boring and too easy listening for me. I didn't appreciate the language in a few songs either. Not impressed.

This was an OK album. I would listen to it again.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

This was a surprisingly good album. I enjoyed it

Not a bad sound. Just not for me.

Gold

I don't understand why I didn't like this. But I wanted to stop listening to it.

This felt like an easy listening album to me. I could fall asleep to it.

Melodrama

Lorde

3/5

I liked this! Her voice is simplistic but beautiful

The Next Day

David Bowie

4/5

Still at his groundbreaking ways

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

This is one of my all-time favorite albums.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

3/5

This has a lot of unique sounds, but it didn't "hit" me. The vocals are banal and kind of boring.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

4/5

Love this. Brought back memories.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Refreshing look at some old classics. This was unexpected as I am not a fan of country music

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Too much talking and repetition

Pretzel Logic

Decent album with one song that's for the ages.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

This is an ok album. I just don't find it exciting. Very easy listening.

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

I love his voice, and the synthesized sounds were ground-breaking at the time. But still a little too tame for me.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Now this is an album you should not die before hearing. The theme is strong and the sounds are varied.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

What a great classic blues artist!

Nixon

Lambchop

2/5

This was like hearing paint dry.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

3/5

This is a classic death metal sound. Too fast and dark for me.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Dolly's voice is not my cup of tea, but you can see why people love her so much.

Vulnicura

Björk

2/5

?? Out-of-the-box? Yes. Worth anything? NO

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

2/5

They call this music?

Sulk

The Associates

2/5

Meh

Moon Safari

Air

2/5

Interesting, but not for me

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

2/5

I have a lot of respect for Johnny Cash, but for him to cover The Beatles, Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel, etc., is a stretch.

Odessa

Bee Gees

2/5

Disappointing album. They weren't that good in the 60's

The Blueprint

JAY Z

2/5

Better than most rap albums, but still not for me.

Meat Is Murder

The music is fine, I guess, but the overall pace and singing makes it more like easy listening.

5/5

Classic Bon Scott at his best.

Tom Waits

4/5

What a unique variety of instruments and styles!

3/5

Strange album. Not really my cup of tea.

One of the best rock albums of all time by one of the best bands of all time.
