Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Great memories of listening to this on vinyl, sitting on the floor, alone. Funkiest album MJ ever did.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

Strong start! Live album #1, wonder how many of these there will be among the 1,001? Feels like the musicianship and performances captured here are at a higher level to be considered one of the all-time best recordings.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Classic album. Not something I listen to regularly, but every now and then these songs hit the mood just right.

Murmur

R.E.M.

2/5

Black Sabbath

4/5

RIP Ozzy

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

One of the greatest pieces of music ever created: written, performed, and produced. This is music that instantly changes or enhances my mood. It's relaxing, sexy, introspective, and always cool. Just like Miles.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

2/5

Not a fan.

Drunk

Thundercat

5/5

YES! Amazing album by a musical genius. I listen to Thundercat maybe too much. But as a bass player, it's incredible to hear what he can do.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Classic, but nothing I’d listen to on a regular basis.

Kenza

Khaled

2/5

Never heard of this artist before, glad ti expand my listening, but not sure this is one I’d consider essential listening.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

5/5

Love it - classic Texas blues

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

I am instantly transported to my Sophomore year of college, playing Streetfighter on Sega in dorm rooms while drinking bad light beer. Aside from the nostalgia, it's a great album, full of rage and disillusionment. ONe of my top 10 rock albums of all time.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Early college memories, Kristin's fave. A classic 90s album that is probably on par with Carole King's "Tapestry."

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Classic. One of the best rap albums ever.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

One of the greatest protest albums of all time. Funky as hell too. Makes me remember hanging out with Steve and Justin.

Vivid

Living Colour

5/5

Shaped my musical evolution as much as any jazz classic. This goes into my Top Ten easy.

Liquid Swords

GZA

5/5

The GOAT! Best album from a WuTang Clan member.

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

3/5

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

5/5

A trippy masterpiece I need to put back into rotation immediately.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

5/5

One of the greatest albums ever made.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

One of my all-time favorite albums. Listened to it after a week in Vegas and had been up for close to 40 hours. Trippy

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Great memories of listening to this on vinyl, sitting on the floor, alone. Funkiest album MJ ever did.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

4/5

Loved it when I first heard it, and still appreciate the politics, but it hasn't held up all that well musically. And Michael Franti really went off the deep end.

The Joshua Tree

4/5

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Memories of driving on weekends with my dad, with S&G playing on the car stereo.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

OMg the greatest fucking shit ever. Is that enough to not deactivate me? 🙄
