Roots

Sepultura

3/5

I get and love what they're doing here, this is a very good album I'm glad it's on the list. Not super for me, but I definitely like it better than Arise.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

We all know this is a five star album, right?

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

This is definitely my favorite Springsteen album. Had it on while fixing a vintage bicycle, I think it helped. Definitely should put this in regular rotation.

Debut

Björk

4/5

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

I haven't listened to Hendrix in a minute, forgot how much I love his voice. And obviously, he's a very skilled and interesting musician.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

3/5

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Superunknown

Soundgarden

4/5

Song for song, they're all really good. As a whole it's kinda one note. Obviously one of the most fundamental grunge albums. My heart says 3.5, but I'll bump it up to 4 for the amount of times we watched the Black Hole Sun music video off of limewire in middle school.

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

4/5

Bert Jansch

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

This is probably my favorite hip hop album, easily my favorite from this era. The fact that a whole ass group of people collaborated on this is amazing. The lyricism, the beats, the samples. Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

5/5

I could see this album landing in my regular rotation. Perhaps best listened to at night.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

4/5

I was so jazzed when I saw this was the album for today. It's an absolute banger, I'm shocked the reviews are averaging below 3.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

I Should Coco

Supergrass

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

I just can't do RHCP anymore, sure it's a good album, not for me

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

3/5

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

2/5

Karma Chameleon, total banger. The rest of the album? Mostly filler, going with a 2 because I can appreciate what Boy George has done for gender and for it being on the shorter end of the spectrum

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Faith

George Michael

4/5

Just good, fun 80s pop. Listened to it and had Father Figure stuck in my head all day.

B-52's

The B-52's

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

3/5

Kala

M.I.A.

4/5

I genuinely thought I was going to give this album a 5. It's really fucking awesome, I love the sampling, I love M.I.A. As a whole, there's a lack of cohesiveness, I think?

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

3/5

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

First off, I inexplicably confuse Tears for Fears with Faith No More, not musically obviously, just the names. I'll never understand and neither will you. This album feels big. Atmospheric. "Shout" as the opener is huge. I feel like every genre deserves to have a five, this might be the one. Also "Head Over Heels" pops into my head for no reason all of the time, it's a beautiful lil earworm.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Just a good solid rock album. Whole Lotta Love is easily one of the best opening tracks of all time.

Queen II

Queen

3/5

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

1/5

It's like if The National was brighter. Honestly, pretty forgettable. Not sure why it's here on this list. Definitely better albums to listen to before you die.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

Listen, I really like The Kinks, I'd actively listen to this album, or any of their others, but it is kinda just, "something else by the kinks"

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

Bummed

Happy Mondays

2/5

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

3/5

Not always my vibe, but definitely a fun album

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

Metallica

2/5

Saw this pop up and immediately thought, "ugh I don't want to listen to it." I know it's a "good album" and I have listened to it before, pretty recently actually, but my gut reaction here is gonna make it a 2 at best. Older Metallica I would've been jazzed to listen to.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

2/5

This album is feeling very long.

Since I Left You

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

3/5

I'm leaning towards a 3 with this album. It was an absolute delight with headphones on, and I really enjoy this type of music. I'm not so sure it needed to be included in the list, but it's a happy lil discovery nonetheless

Parachutes

Coldplay

In a past life, I would've given this more stars.
