Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

Listened to this album many times and really really enjoy it. Of the story rap albums from the 90's, this is one of the best. I always picture Biggie walking down the street while rapping on this album. Makes it sound so easy

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Amazing album from an amazing band. Bonham's drums are just fantastic. Not my favorite Zeppelin album though, probably not even top 3 zeppelin albums for me... which says a lot for how good they are.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Songs were hit or miss for me personally. Really liked some of them and had fun listening to it overall but wouldn't listen to it again probably.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

It was a fine album but didn't blow me away. Not my favorite blues rock album by any means. Eric Clapton is a heck of a guitarist and I wish he was featured more.

The World is a Ghetto

War

Tom Waits

2/5

I liked it better than the other Tom waits album on this list but still not my type of music that I would come back to.
