King Crimson

3/5

21st Century Schizoid Man amd the Court of the Crimson King are fantastic, and early high water marks for prog. The tracks in between are doing some interesting experimentation, but not interesting enough to elevate the album.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Great songs without any wasted space from start to finish. A benchmark for what a great album should be.

With The Beatles

Beatles

1/5

In my opinion the worst pre-Rubber Soul album for the beatles. Young, immature song writing and uninspired covers make for a 30 minute LP that feels like an hour. I'm genuinely surprised this is on the list. Considering this didn't release in the US or Canada, it's hard to attribute the cultural phenomenon of Beatlemania to it even. A great example of what the floor is for The Beatles.

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Incredible album, all the good parts of grunge on full display. If they had cut the last two tracks it would have been a 5 star.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Thanks Rick!

Adele

3/5

Excellent production, great vocals, amd safe uninspired song writing.

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

3/5

It's alright

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

A good album with a couple standout tracks

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

4/5

A flagpole for mid-90s techno/hard-core. Does an excellent job of capturing a moment in politically charged times in the UK, delivers high level technique and execution, and most importantly makes you want to dance.

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

1/5

No

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

It's ok, I guess

Led Zeppelin

5/5

The perfect balance of rock and blues

Urban Hymns

The Verve

2/5

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

2/5

Historically significant album that has aged poorly.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

good album, mad verses

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

A good studio style album. Fun psychedelic San Francisco rock with fantasy elements and a couple tracks hinting at southern rock.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

A very successful boogie rock album, and for good reason. From the first track you're hit with a great jam that seamlessly transitions into the second track, a great mastering decision. Lots of fun blues and southern tracks throughout, and La Grange speaks for itself.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

4/5
