Elvis Presley

3/5

It's surprising that each song is barely over 2 minutes long. The music is slower paced than I expected, and seems so toned down without the background screams of teenaged fans.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

AMAZING. I was thrilled to see this album pop up today. No notes; this is my second-favorite Metallica album and stands the test of time.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Most songs aren't my jam (I wouldn't choose love or religious songs), but I can appreciate the musicality. I was glad when the album was over.

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

5/5

There's so much joyous energy in this album. "Scorpio" made me say "Daft Punk who?" I wish this album was twice as long and I hope there is another Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five waiting for me in the 1,001 queue.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

I went in not wanting to like it, didn't like it initially, but was then won over by the songs "It Ain't Easy" and "Suffragette City."

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

I quite like Billy Joel's voice. "She's Always a Woman" was surprisingly touching and sweet. I'd listen to it again.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

A straightforward album by a reliable band. I had fun listening to it, though there are no stand-out tracks for me.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

I want to rate them higher because I love Fleetwood Mac, but this album as a whole was underwhelming.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

I like both Pictures at an Exhibition and ELP and I would have probably enjoyed hearing this live for the first time, along with the visuals of the band, but as an album it's just ok.

War

5/5

I'm glad this album was suggested because it made me change my opinion of U2. I thought they were douchier than what I heard on this album.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

I enjoyed listening to this one with Allan. :)

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

An album I've listened to multiple times already. I would have given it 5 stars a decade ago, but now I'm more aware of the cultural theft that's worth a star of acknowledgement.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

4/5

It was really exciting to get this recommendation, considering I've never heard of this band. Love it and would listen again.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

Not amazing, but also just fine.

Feast of Wire

Calexico

3/5

It's not terrible music, but not what I would want to listen to. Kind of like a weird slow folk music but with a modern twist. This is the first album on the list I wanted to turn off before it finished.

Let It Be

The Replacements

4/5

I had never listened to them before and I liked it.

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

4/5

It was fine! Better than fine, actually, but nothing that will stick with me.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Absolutely stunning.

Da Capo

Love

3/5

Some good bits in there, but overall the voice of the lead singer will keep me from listening to more from this band.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

Arrival

ABBA

1/5

My God, "When I Kissed the Teacher" would have made me turn this off immediately if not for this project. The only saving grace was "Money, Money, Money."

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Not my jam, neither the music nor his voice.

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

It's ok. Fame is the best song.
