Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Love zz

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Outside of the two big songs the album is a bit boring and maybe a bit busy. But the three big songs are so powerful so 3/5

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

I mean solid live jazz album. Top 1001? No 3/5

The Bends

Radiohead

3/5

Tracks 2/3/4 are all time powerful; the rest of the album is solid but a bit whiney 3/5

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

Same thing as other ‘greatest’ albums here. Two three songs are so strong but the rest is average.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

2/5

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

5/5

All time trend setting groundbreaking noise hop politically powered masterpiece

Scott 4

Scott Walker

1/5

Why is this on this list? This is unlistenable schlock couldn’t make it past boy child. Terrible 0/5

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

5/5 no notes

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

2/5

Ummm no. Top 1001? Hardly. Love Morrissey as the lead of the smiths but how this album qualifies over his 1st album viva hate I don’t know. Too many questionable choices so far This shit is corny 2/5

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

I’m biased. First 5 sabbath albums are all 5/5 to me. Vol 4 is mixed poorly but it doesn’t matter, epic cocaine rock

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

4/5

Beautiful, interesting and original. Just mind bending that it’s from ‘73

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

Everybody wants to rule the world is one of the greatest pop songs of the 80s. Shout is nostalgic. Head over heels/broken is the sleeper song. Lyrics mention ‘change in weather’ often 3/5

The Predator

Ice Cube

3/5

I mean, cubes solo work is criminally underrated. This one is a top 25 rap album and changed how I thought about racism towards black peoples in America This runs a bit long but the beats also fucking bang hard 3/5

System Of A Down

2/5

Never understood their popularity. The nasal high pitched talk singing is annoying. Metal has such thin margins of what’s great and not so great. This is fine. Top 1001? No

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

So many huge songs on this sprawling album. This is my first listen all the way through (wasn’t a huge pumpkins fan) and it’s epic James Iha is underrated 1979 is one of the top songs of 90s 4/5

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

2/5

Interesting in spots but just doesn’t have anything memorable about any particular track. 2/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

Monk and Rollins I mean iconic duo. Bemsha Swing is one of all time faves and this arrangement in its early form is powerful 4/5

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

I love new order. Compared to their other output this album is just ok and doesn’t grab me emotionally like the more synth punk oriented work. 3/5

The Clash

5/5

5/5 all time classic that set the standard for punk

Fred Neil

4/5

Trend setting folk album played electric. A real time capsule and great songwriting. 4/5

Shaft

Isaac Hayes

3/5

It’s just ok

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

5/5 perfect record

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

2/5

A mess. Not fun. 2/5

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

This album never hit me like it did everyone else. It’s dope it’s original and groundbreaking just not my fave.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Funky jazzy freak out a bit too much horn on spots and a little too free form to make it a 5/5

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

4/5

Fuggin classic. So original so weird so kick ass

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

Should be 3.5. It runs just a tad long but it set the standard for the goa breakbeat/downbeat scene. Fun listen

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

I want to give it 5/5 for nostalgia sake but it falls just short of perfect. Fucking amazing album tho

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

I love E&TB so they get 3/5 but outside of the three GREAT tracks it’s kind of a forgettable album

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Eh I mean the satire is prescient and Zappa saw right thru the commercialization of the hippie movement but this album seemed to go on forever and it was under an hour

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

5/5

5/5 no notes

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

2/5

2+ hours of drum and bass? I mean sure in the right setting with the right drugs maybe but top 1001 album ever? Fuck right off. I’m rating based on LTJ being original and a trendsetter and defining a genre but I’m not listening to this whole thing wtf
