The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
David Bowie
I always forget how good this album is when I listen to it, and I always wonder why it takes me so long to go back to it. I've only listened to this album all the way through like 3 times, and it's a banger.

Beauty And The Beat
The Go-Go's
I wasn't really interested in listening to this album, and it was a pleasant surprise. Very catchy and hooky pop rock and a solid album all the way through. I don't know if I'll regularly seek it out, but an enjoyable listen.

Wild Is The Wind
Nina Simone
It's a nice album, very interesting singing style Nina has. Definitely not my style, and I don't see myself ever listening to this album again, but it was well done and soulful.

Metallica
Metallica
I mean... I don't need this album recommended to me :) I've listened to this thing 5 billion times already. I know it's a five star album.

The Dreaming
Kate Bush
This one was yet another pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting much from this one or for it to be for me, and was surprised by how much I liked it. A very wacky, very fun listen.

Basket of Light
Pentangle
Not my bag. Maybe it's just not what I'm looking for right now in my life, it was just a bit too hokey-folky for me right now.

Gorillaz
Gorillaz
Yeah, I’ve tried and tired and Gorillaz just aren’t for me. A couple decent songs though, liked it more than I thought I would. 3.5 stars.

Synchronicity
The Police
Listened to this a few times already, a 5 star album for sure. Aside from that one darn filler tracker, Mother, it's a perfect album.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
Another one I had never listened to before and a very pleasant surprise. Never had really listened to Elton John and was surprised he could rock this much. Excellent classic rock album!

Green
R.E.M.
Kind of disappointed in this recommendation, honestly. I haven't heard much REM outside of their singles and have always been somewhat interested in doing a deep-dive into them, and even I know this album isn't considered anywhere near their best releases. And after listening to it, it's pretty bland. Maybe I won't like the rest of their albums either but this was pretty ehh.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted
Ice Cube
Another great choice, and an album I'd been meaning to get to, since I've always liked Ice Cube and West Coast gangsta rap, despite never really hearing much of his solo albums. I want to check out some of the albums right after this one, as I think they get more of the harder edge and less of the late 80's/beginning 90's slight cheesiness to hip hop.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
The Flaming Lips
Another one I hadn't check out before, heard of the band, and I'm glad I did. Very nice listen. I think I really like the beginning more and then it seemed to blend together a bit in a droney way but it might be one I have to go back and listen to more, which I definitely will.

Either Or
Elliott Smith
Another very pleasant surprise that I'm happy I gave a go. I always wanted to explore Elliott Smith's music more and I'm glad this was the one, great album!

On The Beach
Neil Young
I've listened to a bunch of Neil Young and never heard this album. Kinda surprised this one's in here rather than Harvest or one of his all-timers. But then again, at least it got me to check it out, because it's real solid. Not his best, and there's no real classic track on here, but it's a solid all-the-way-through album, which I like. Vampire Blues was kinda lousy though.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels
Dexys Midnight Runners
Not bad album, glad I heard it. Almost like a sound of the poppier side of The Clash meets jazz/big band style. I don't know if I'll be going back to it a ton but an entertaining listen.

Black Metal
Venom
Did NOT expect this one! Pretty impressed that this list is covering everything. A little cheese in the recipe but I get why this one is influential.

Surf's Up
The Beach Boys
Not a bad album, glad I listened to this one. I might actually like this one more than Pet Sounds, which I've never really loved all the way through.

Music For The Jilted Generation
The Prodigy
Very familiar with this album and listened to it a bunch, happy to dive into it again. I'd probably go with 3.5 stars for this album. I think this album is best as background noise when you're doing something like working, or probably dancing at a party or something. It's good stuff, but a lot of the songs are kind of long without much reason as they get a little repetitive since there's not too much changing up in the song. But still, good album!
