Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

1/5

Very boring, and actually kind of annoying. I'm surprised it's on this list.

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

1/5

Sounded unique since its not Western music. Not bad at all but not my taste.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

2/5

Sounds like funky elevator music, or hipster coffee shop music.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

2/5

My favorite Temptations songs aren’t on this Album. Good evening background music, but actively listening to it nothing stands out much.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

HEE-HEE! I like thriller much better.

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

Really solid 3/5. Fun listen. Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, & When I Come Around are timeless classics, a lot of the rest of the album drags for me, especially near the end. “She” has a neat opening base line that I haven’t heard before.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Amazing that Bowie made this Album while he knew he was dying. It comes through in the music, so haunting.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

3/5

Never heard before. Love the guitar riffs on the first song. The singing kinda reminds me of The Talking Heads.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

2/5

I loved the Beastie Boys in high school, but I've really lost my taste for them since then. They have some really cool beats and sounds. I like the Zeppelin samples.

Pink Flag

Wire

2/5

Very punky and groovy, but not really my taste. I’d give a 2.5.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

This came up as my album the day after Ozzy died. This Album doesn’t have the biggest hits, but it’s more cohesive and psychedelic than other Sabbath albums.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

3/5

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the genre “Noise Rock”. Not bad, actually pretty good. Almost sounded like electronic music. Had a very psychedelic element to it that I liked.

War

3/5

Love Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year's Day. The rest doesn't stand out much to me.

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

David Bowie

5/5

The song Starman is singularly responsible for getting me back into rock music in my mid-teens after hearing it in "The Martian". I will be forever thankful to Bowie for saving me from modern music. Bowie isn't just one of the best musicians of all time, he's one of the most creative artists of all time. This album will always be a 5/5 for me.

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

Sounds like hipster music.

Joan Armatrading

2/5

Good but not my taste.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

4/5

Love this album. Dave Mustane still acts salty about getting kicked out of Metallica, but I think it’s the best thing that ever happened to him, and one of the best things to ever happen to Metal. We got 2 incredible but very different Metal bands out of his departure.

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

2/5

Sounds like Busch Gardens music. I feel like I can't give these African Albums a fair shake since I know nothing about the culture and don't speak the language. I did like this one more than Djam Leelii. It is good but I'm rating based on my own taste.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

2/5

It’s quite erotic.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Really good as far as rap goes.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

2/5

Kinda boring noises.

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

1/5

Very boring, and actually kind of annoying. I'm surprised it's on this list.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Not my favorite or even the best Beatles album. But it’s the Beatles. You can tell acid was an influence here. My favorites on this album are Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!, Within You Without You, A Day In The Life.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

2/5

I don’t like Indie Rock. Getting tired of all these bad albums on this list.

Paul Simon

3/5

Pretty good.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

Good singing but I don't care about this type of music.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

What happened to Hip Hop? This is so cool, having guitar riffs in hip hop is awesome. However, I’m not sure I’ll ever give a hip hop album more than 4/5 stars. So 3 stars it is.

More Specials

The Specials

2/5

Ska is cool. This was unmemorable. Doubt I'll ever listen to it again.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

2/5

Just so angsty and the singing is kinda annoying. Sounds like something a 12 year old would listen to and think it's deep. Its like a 90s version of Olivia Rodrigo.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Pretty good with a few really catchy songs. But there’s much better rock music from this time period.

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

2/5

Quite depressing, and not in a good way.

The Only Ones

2/5

The tunes were ok. The singing was annoying, kind of reminded me of the Velvet Underground but not as good.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

2/5

Just kinda vibey 80s, but not really memorable.

Arrival

ABBA

2/5

Dancing Queen is great, the rest of the album is good but just not really memorable. 2.49 / 5 stars.

Atomizer

Big Black

1/5

I was annoyed after one and a half songs so I shut it off.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

Real good slow country album. I prefer his older stuff but I like this one and really love the covers, especially Personal Jesus.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

In the past, this was my favorite Pink Floyd album, and I would've given this 5 stars, now its only a 4 for me. These days I prefer Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall over this one. But this is one of the best albums of all time. Time, Money, and Breathe are my favorite songs on the Album. Undoubtedly the most iconic album cover of all time.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

The first 2 songs are iconic, after that the album sort of falls off for me. 2.49 stars.

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

1/5

Its annoying I don't like it. I only made it through the first 2 tracks.
