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."

Stardust

Willie Nelson

5/5

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Common

4/5

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Classic. One of the best rap albums ever.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

5/5

Classic NOLA

Vivid

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.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

2/5

Not my cup of tea.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

3/5

Odd, almost like a soundtrack to a strange, quirky movie. Small bursts of 70s rock fuzz every now and then, too. Not bad, but don’t think I’ll listen again.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

4/5

Steve Albini was a mad genius

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Not my cup of tea

Shadowland

So relaxing and warm, like a nice mug of coffee on a cold morning.

Metallica

5/5

One of the great albums of 1991! Classic!

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

GNR opened the door that Nirvana blew open, exposing glam rock as terrible music that is a huge waste of time. They may have started as a hair band, but quickly showed they were badasses with actual musical talent.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

A bonafide classic rock album.

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

Meh. 80s

Tical

Method Man

5/5

One of my favorite rap albums of all time, and my #1 of the Wu-Tang solo albums.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

5/5

Gorillaz

4/5

Nice listenable pop

Dog Man Star

Suede

1/5

I did not listen to this album.

Her voice is as gorgeous as she is.

Electric Warrior

2/5

Meh

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

5/5

He has been under my radar for so long until I finally figured out it was his song that was featured in “Good Fellas.” Such an amazing album with great grooves and melodies.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

The best thrash metal album ever and one of my all-time favorite albums period. 🤘
