Aug 29 2025

This album wasn't for me, and I'm not sure who it is for musically. Maybe the language barrier has me impeded, but the music stylings were a sign of their times and kind of just sounded like I was standing in line at a Häagen-Dazs at the mall.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 01 2025

It's good. A lot of songs blend together. The hits are the hits for their uniqueness, the rest is just kinda there.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 03 2025

I hate Bruce Springsteen, but I liked this album.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 08 2025
Parachutes by Coldplay
Sep 10 2025

Didn't realize how many of these songs I knew and that they were Coldplay? It's a good, if not one-note album.

Sep 12 2025

As a young millennial who likes Pink Floyd, this was fine. I think I appreciate it more than I like it. For its time it was new and special.

Synchronicity by The Police
Sep 18 2025

This album was better each time I ran through it. What a treat.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Sep 23 2025

This album was so good and full of hits and happiness

Mask by Bauhaus
Sep 24 2025

I liked emo and goth stuff in high school, but I love this. Bring back real raw goth stuff.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Sep 25 2025

I typically love new wave brit pop so maybe it was really my high hopes that let me down, but this album was borderline ok at best.

Illmatic by Nas
Sep 30 2025

Generational hip hop album. Changed the game for everyone who has come since.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Oct 07 2025

I feel like my parents really undersold Bowie and now I'm playing catch-up. This was really good.

Timeless by Goldie
Oct 10 2025

This is 1 hr 52 min too long.

No Other by Gene Clark
Oct 15 2025

This was not something I'd ever heard that sounded familiar and comforting.

Oct 23 2025

This album is not for me, nor is it for anyone not actively shooting an adult video.

#1 Record by Big Star
Oct 24 2025

Good albeit average 70's rock stuff. Fun to hear that 70's show song.

Boston by Boston
Oct 28 2025

I remember listening to this album after I heard "More Than a Feeling" on Guitar Hero. I was 13 and it transformed me. 22 years later my stomach filled with butterflies as each song came flooding back. The baby did not sleep on the way to daycare yesterday, we were too busy singing.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Oct 29 2025
Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Nov 03 2025

I love this album but there are a few duds. Grace Slick might have my favorite voice of the era.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 04 2025

My uncle has played in bar bands for my entire life. He plays bass and sings one song, La Grange. His deep bass voice is perfect for the intro, and he finds the key each time and rocks the house. When I was a little kid, this was magic. It still is at 35. 4 stars because Uncle Art crushes it.

Hotel California by Eagles
Nov 11 2025

Incredible album that only stumbles once or twice.

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 12 2025

He's a gifted songwriter and this album is supposed to be amazing but I just don't get it. He has a mediocre voice and each song melodically sounds as canned as they come. Lyrics are on point, but I don't understand the appeal honestly. This is my first NY album on the list and I know I'm in for more disappointment.

1999 by Prince
Nov 14 2025
Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 17 2025

This album is good

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Nov 21 2025

Jim Morrison died and these guys tried to corner the market on sounding high behind the mic. They did not do it well.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Nov 25 2025

Just cause I like it doesn't mean it's great. It's a good album, but nothing life changing.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Dec 01 2025

I only give this 4 because the other Beatles albums on the list are better

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 03 2025

I'm biased as GFK is one of my favorites of all time. It's not a 5 star rap album, but is good and showcases his unique style.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Dec 18 2025

I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but this album is wonderful and should be on this list 100%. I feel like too many people would underrate this claiming it can't be as good as [whatever they like] when in reality this album has MAYBE 1 skip. The point of the list isn't to compare albums to each other, it's to determine if it should be on the list in the first place. This one should.
