Permission to Land by The Darkness

One of my best friends in high school had "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" as the first track on a mix cd and that has absolutely colored my opinion of this album. But it's fucking fantastic even besides that.

Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A.

Young Americans by David Bowie

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney

Heroes by David Bowie

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

Private Dancer by Tina Turner

Going with the original International Edition track list, not the later releases with progressively more and more extra songs. Couple bangers (Steel Claw goes hard) but overall it's too 80s pop for me. Always liked her (and her and Ike's) R&B stuff a lot better.

Live At Leeds by The Who

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

Not bad, but not really my thing. Kinda went downhill after the first track (pun fully intended).

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley

Better than I expected.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver

If I Should Fall From Grace With God by The Pogues

I've listened to Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash straight through more times than I could count, but I think this is the first time I've done it for this one. It's great, but doesn't quite reach the level of its predecessor. (Also damn if Sentimental Johnny by Flogging Molly isn't a straight ripoff of Fiesta)

Marquee Moon by Television

Okay there's some primo shit

Whatever by Aimee Mann

Legalize It by Peter Tosh

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club

OK Computer by Radiohead

"Okay, so what if we take rock & roll, but make it boring?" - Thom Yorke, probably

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs by Marty Robbins

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis

Pornography by The Cure

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye singing about praying is surprisingly almost as compelling as Marvin Gaye singing about fucking.

C'est Chic by CHIC

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets

Music For The Jilted Generation by The Prodigy

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

Dog Man Star by Suede

Pleasingly Bowiesque

Slayed? by Slade

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter

Couple bangers but not enough to make it more than meh.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

A Night At The Opera by Queen

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits

I feel like I could reasonably give this anywhere between two and five stars.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

Bone Machine by Tom Waits

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera

I have an indelible memory of Candyman playing in the barbershop at boot camp when I got my first haircut there. Some good songs but also what feels like a lot of filler. Didn't need to be over an hour.

Odessa by Bee Gees

So I knew that the Bee Gees started out as a rock band before moving into disco. I did not know that the transition apparently included whatever the fuck this is, but it's good.

Tommy by The Who

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin

Dry by PJ Harvey

Actually by Pet Shop Boys

Modern rock needs more piano. But I'm pretty sure that's not how Geronimo died.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back by Public Enemy

Blackstar by David Bowie

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room by Dwight Yoakam

Arrival by ABBA

London Calling by The Clash

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

A Northern Soul by The Verve

1989 by Taylor Swift

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

I prefer my Elvis a little less croony, a little more rock and roll.

The Last Broadcast by Doves

Why did every British rock band sound identical for like 15 years?

1984 by Van Halen

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash

6/5, with the extra point for June Carter stealing the show on Jackson.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten

I think this is the first one that I started and just couldn't get through.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector by Various Artists

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder

3.5, not my favorite from Stevie but still pretty good

Ace of Spades by Motörhead

Look, I know it's a trick question and Lemmy is God, but this just gets real samey real fast. Also, "I'm in your life, I might be in your wife" is a fantastic line.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police

Never was a big fan of the Police, might need to rethink that.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

Diamond Life by Sade

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods

Well that went some places. Not totally opposed to some French Tom Waits growling.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise

How much meh electronica really needs to be on this list?

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel

The Wildest! by Louis Prima

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk

I don't know why I bothered asking "How much meh electronica really needs to be on this list?"

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke

American IV: The Man Comes Around by Johnny Cash

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem

Nowhere by Ride

Actually some fun ones one the back half, but overall a lot of standard British 90s-00s rock that just drags on.

Being There by Wilco

Having somehow never listened to much Wilco despite them being big in my formative years, I wasn't sure what to expect. It started slow and I was worried it would be another meandering album of 90s sad boy rock. It's certainly got its fair share of that, and it definitely meanders, but into some sick-ass funky country rock that I really loved. So Wilco, I apologize, I wasn't really familiar with your game.
