What happens when you mix joy division with RATM’s attitude, and I’m all here for it

The Modern Dance
Pere Ubu
Some good points throughout the album however you have songs like laughing which I’m hoping they put in to make me laugh that kinda drag down the experience

The Clash
The Clash
Classic punk which you’d really enjoy if you were super into it, not much deviation from the formula so imo a bit generic but can’t lie I was bopping my head a bit. Good for my clash lore but they did much better later

Is This It
The Strokes
Very enjoyable album, a new favourite, does not feel out of place in this day and can hear how a lot of modern indie rock artists are influenced by this album. Definitely one I’ll be revisiting quite often.

Smile
Brian Wilson
I like the idea of returning to an unfinished project, and the music by no means is bad and I didn’t mind listening at times, I think the bigger question is was this needed? To me it’s trying so hard to be another pet sounds and because of that it can sound dated especially with all the musical moments that are call backs to it. If I wanted pet sounds I’ll listen to it. I can tell this is especially for the really big beach boys/Brian Wilson fans but probably not for me

The Marshall Mathers LP
Eminem
Why can’t shady just go back to this!!! All jokes aside a great album, great flows and Dre’s production is awesome. Only thing that holds this album back for me is that some bars are definitely products of the time and in a way stop it being as timeless as other rap albums

Station To Station
David Bowie
Boring is the biggest criticism I can throw at this album, I can listen to it but it’s just background music honestly. Bowie has many more better albums than this and this is the first album where I’ve thought should it honestly be on this list

Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division
Such an easy album to listen to, and the first that I could listen to on vinyl instead of streaming. One of the best debut albums of all time and really set the tone of the dark post punk sound, production is great and this album has a great atmosphere especially when you feel dark and broody, not a 5 to me because I don’t listen to it regularly enough but I have no qualms about people who think this is a top tier album

Here, My Dear
Marvin Gaye
It’s Marvin Gaye so it’s going to sound great. In saying that I don’t think it’s as ground breaking as his other big albums, it feels very samesy throughout and knowing the backstory feels like should I be listening to it

The Sun Rises In The East
Jeru The Damaja
Good flow and the production is very nice, good for my rap lore, but don’t feel the need to go right back to it like some other records

Born In The U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen
The hits are undeniable, in saying that some of the deep cuts on the album are quite a chore to get through and really break up the enjoyment of the album and make it hard to listen to as a whole project and had to use the weekend to listen to it. Again the hits are what save this album from being rated lower, I might come back to this later in life and enjoy it more but right now not so much

Electric Warrior
T. Rex
Really enjoyed listening to this, held back by some production and musical choices that date the album but in other instances those choices really enhance and make some songs timeless. Some quite good deep cuts on this album that make this an overall fun listen and didn’t feel the need to skip songs

American Music Club
Started off interesting then it kinda became generic, probably won’t revisit anytime soon

Reggatta De Blanc
The Police
Quite an interesting record, obviously has some big hits on it, and there is no denying that the trio are incredible musicians, but to me I don’t get as much enjoyment out of it as other bands of the period.

Safe As Milk
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Strange but super interesting to listen to, after hearing about this band and a certain album that was made I thought all of it would be unlistenable, however this was actually quite fun

Blood On The Tracks
Bob Dylan
Quite a few songs on this that I come back too regularly, Twist of fate is one of my favourite dylan songs, another record I get the chance to listen to on vinyl, looking at the backstory and realising this was heavily inspired by the breakdown of his marriage makes this quite an emotional masterpiece.

Nebraska
Bruce Springsteen
I guess I’m not a Bruce Springsteen fan, it’s just a boring album to me, nothing much going on second half of the album I just started skipping songs hoping something would pique my interest. Nothing did unfortunately

Kick Out The Jams (Live)
MC5
Not a bad album, interesting to listen to and see how this is very much the progenitor of punk, quite ballsy to have your debut album be a live album which definitely helps with the raw aesthetic they were obviously going for

Ocean Rain
Echo And The Bunnymen
Pretty easy to listen to, but didn’t really blow me away

Hejira
Joni Mitchell
Not really memorable in my opinion, song writing not as captivating as blue, maybe a little insulting to say but kinda feels like background music

Aftermath
The Rolling Stones
Didn’t realise this was the album that had under my thumb on it, definitely the highlight of the album. The rest wasn’t too bad nothing to right home about, still a fun listening experience

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols
One of the OG punk albums and it’s quite good, has 2 of the most quintessential punk songs of all time with anarchy and good save the queen, the other songs are also very fun, production definitely suits the songs making this a very fun listening experience.

Curtis Mayfield
Very funky soulful record, no real standouts however but quite nice to listen to

Alien Lanes
Guided By Voices
Some skips, but overall a fun sounding album with some really good songs on it

The Genius Of Ray Charles
Ray Charles
Amazing vocals from the man himself, starts off more uptempo and slows down as the album progresses but that doesn’t diminish it at all, it’s a very satisfying listening experience

Here's Little Richard
Little Richard
Very good album, little Richard has an amazing voice, what holds this album back though is how similar a lot of the records sound to each other, some have the same opening piano riffs and most have a very similar musical formula

Tres Hombres
ZZ Top
Very solid rock album, good riffs, but probably won’t be returning too soon

Timeless
Goldie
I swear to god this is trolling, it’s the same drum track looped over whimsical tunes that would not be out of place in a nature doco, this would fit perfectly as hold music for a big corporation. I skipped basically all the tracks and couldn’t finish it

American Idiot
Green Day
Very well produced album and highly political considering where the USA was at that time, an album more known for the hits I do go back to it every now again but Jesus of suburbia I need to be in a mood to listen through all of it and the album feels a bit long

Appetite For Destruction
Guns N' Roses
Let’s get the good stuff outta the way, the hits are some of the greatest rock songs ever written and axl has one of the greatest voices in rock and slash is one of the greats. However besides that this album is 80’s power rock, better than bon jovi but the album cuts other than filler were impediments to hearing the great songs that are worth listening to.

Really lovely album, great songwriting and was fun to listen to while chilling in bed, had a great song I’ve heard but didn’t know it was this album

Coat Of Many Colors
Dolly Parton
Lovely album, dolly does not get enough credit as a singer/songwriter, this album doesn’t overstay its welcome fun to listen and chill out to

Paranoid
Black Sabbath
Rip to a legend, what can I say that hasn’t already been said about this album, easiest 5 I’ve given so far and another I can listen to on vinyl, some of the greatest songs written and has one of the best sabbath deep cuts with planet caravan which you would not expect on a metal album. Awesome riffs and great production, just gets me so pumped listening to this album

Jack White
Really good rock album and fun to listen to

Stardust
Willie Nelson
This is a weird one for me, I like Willie Nelson generally, I like his songwriting and his voice, but this album just didn’t do it for me, I think maybe knowing they aren’t his songs kinda brought it down a bit, but one I don’t feel like I’ll be revisiting

Really good voice and quite a good songwriter, one song I listen to quite regularly but the others I probably won’t return to that often

Stankonia
OutKast
Really good album, Andre and bigboi are 2 of the best to do it, flows that are still really fresh and some of the biggest songs in rap are from this album

Let's Get It On
Marvin Gaye
Really good album with one of the best songs of all time, I did find at times it could drag on a bit, but still a great album
