Clandestino

Manu Chao

1/5

Not a fan of this one. The music wasn't interesting enough for me to stay with it through the language difference.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

This album launched 4 huge hits (Dancing Queen, Fernando, Knowing Me Knowing You, Money Money Money), but the rest is mostly garbage. "When I Kissed the Teacher"? "Dum Dum Diddle"? "Happy Hawaii"? A lot of the filler here is just completely corny. "ABBA Gold" is the only ABBA album anyone could possibly need.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Legendary voice, and some classics here. "Lilac Wine" is a favorite.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

5/5

Brilliant band, brilliant album.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

2/5

This one hasn't aged well. There was nothing like it at the time, but I can't listen to it these days.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Classic. A few tracks I would have left off. Still, the singles are legendary.

Gorillaz

4/5

Brilliant concept, and still going strong today. This album brings back a ton of memories and still holds up today.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Pretty much perfect for a swing album. Basie's as good as it gets.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

4/5

Never got into Goldfrapp before, but after spending time with this album I now want to listen to more of her music. Very pleasantly surprised by this one.

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

2/5

I can see why some people would enjoy this, but it's not my thing. The falsetto vocals are kind of annoying to me.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

As good as rap ever gets.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

One of my favorite Zeppelin albums, but often overlooked.

Pyromania

Def Leppard

3/5

Loved it in the 80s, but not into it now.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

5/5

Brilliant singer, brilliant lyricist. So sad that he left us too early.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Such a classic. A voice that held so much soul, depth, and longing. Another artist who left us way too soon.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

James Murphy has made some amazing albums, but this might be his masterpiece.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Not my favorite Bowie album, but it's still a classic with 5 epic tracks like "Changes," "Life on Mars," "Quicksand," and even "Kooks "

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

The only Springsteen album I listen to repeatedly. These acoustic gems about violent criminals and the repercussions of their actions never fails to draw me in. Bruce' best.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

4/5

It's a shame when a band's masterpiece is also their finale. "Bittersweet Symphony" is the one people know, but "The Drugs Don't Work" and "Sonnet" are just as good.

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

Still listen to this one once in a while. Simon's masterpiece, for sure.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

1/5

Couldn't get into this one. "Afterglow" was ok, but nothing else grabbed my attention.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

A beautiful collection of singer/songwriter ballads. Not really my cup of tea, but a remarkable album that paved the way for Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, and others.

Garbage

5/5

This was one of my favorite albums, and favorite bands for a while in the '90s. I collected their import singles and even bought Shirley's pre-Garbage stuff with Angelfish.

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

Was just listening to this one again recently. Bowie's final recordings, and this album ranks among his best. Breaks my heart that he is gone.

Eternally Yours

The Saints

2/5

One of Australia's top punk bands, the Saints never made a lot of noise in the U.S, but their influence can clearly be heard in a lot of other bands.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Despite having one of the laziest album covers of all time, the third album from ZZ Top catapulted them into the mainstream thanks to "La Grange," which has been a staple of classic rock radio ever since. Good ol' Texas blues rock.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

While not as solid as the follow-up ("A Night at the Opera") this is still a fantastic Queen record. Killer Queen, Now I'm Here, Stone Cold Crazy...lots of classics.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

3/5

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

5/5

Copper Blue

Sugar

4/5
