Guero

Beck

1/5

How influential is this album? Who is still talking about it, or any song from it? What did this album do that Beck hasn't done before? How many albums from regions this list essentially ignores deserves a spot on a list of influential albums over this? How many albums from genres not represented here deserve it more? I would say, honestly, thousands. It's not the worst album I heard. But it is the first to make me seriously reconsider the entire exercise

David Bowie

3/5

Big Bowie fan but I never really listen to this album, usually sticking to the albums before this.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

5/5

I've been listening to this for years. Some of the best guitar ever on an album??

The xx

4/5

I loved this album when it came out, surprised by how much I still like it. Great production, really complete album.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

Here's the thing. I love heavy music. I enjoy a good amount of grunge and alt rock. I was never really a big AiC fan. I love the lyrics on this album. There are some really good songs. There are also some songs that I absolutely cannot stand. Musically, it lands in a spot that just isn't very appealing to me. Not heavy enough but also not very catchy. I realize this is heresay for many people. But, again, the 3-4 songs I like on this album are very good.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

Great album. Not my absolute favorite talking heads albums but extremely good. Byrne's "alien anthropologist" lyrics are at an all time high on this one

Van Halen

2/5

Catchy but definitely not my thing. Absolutely hated a couple songs. Didn't really love any.

AWOOGA!! eyes pop out of head, foot starts tapping on floor and tongue rolls out on the floor albums ahead of its time. some really good songs. some bad ones

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

2/5

jazz is an amazing art form. the musicians are incredibly skilled. i do not like listening to it. i could not do the full two hours so only listened to the tracks from the original LP. forgive me jazz fans

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

2/5

inoffensive, fine. but not interesting to me

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

Nothing to say that hasn't been said. It is astonishing that Dylan was 22 years old when this was released. Incredible. I've listened to it hundreds of times and I'm not done yet. That being said, there's a few real stickers on this one. Basically auto skips every time. So I won't go the full 5

5/5

this feels like the type of album that was much more impressive back when it was released. great songs that i've heard a million times and that have influenced a million other songs. Almost inconceivable that it's a debut album
