Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

2/5

Danny Music! Great early example of where techno is gonna go. Really cool soundscapes come and go. I'm probably not gonna have it on at a party. Glad I've listened to it. Stars reflect 'I wanna listen to this again and go deep on it' Stars do not reflect 'this has artistic value' Because this has a ton of artistic value. And the kick drums sound dope.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

Amazing record -- great performances throughout. great listening too. would love to spend more time with it and have it around. From a really cool era of jazz as well. The piano sections of the final track are especially noteworthy.

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Great. Classic! Have it -- love it. Such a great 70s era singer songwriter album. Great listen throughout.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

Love Radiohead. Not my favorite of theirs for a listen, but love this era for sure.

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

Green

R.E.M.

2/5

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

Same as the Smiths -- cool sounding well executed work that's obviously been transformative for rock and pop, but doesn't really land for me.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Awesome record, need to spend more time with it. stunning guitar playing as always, the songs themselves didn't grab me at any point on first listen, but it was awesome to have on.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

Great 90s vibes, was a hit with Megan.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

2/5

Classic, but one I've struggled to find a way into. Just doesn't land an emotional punch for me.

Traffic

3/5

Great late 60s sounds -- I knew Cocker's cover of 'Feelin Alright?' fun to hear the original here. Glad to give this a focused listen

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

3/5

Cool Record! My first listen though. Writing and vocals give me almost a Bowie-ish vibe. Feels ahead of its time for '93. Not surprised it's on the list.

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

really cool proto punk rock! Love the organs

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Absolute Classic for a reason. great listen

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

Powerful -- Great listen -- Worth a trip through the whole album. Amazing

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

3/5

Solid listen. In the vein of massive attack and other 90s low-key dance pop

The Clash

3/5

Definitely prefer this to London calling

New Forms

Roni Size

3/5

Super cool drum and bass takes -- awesome to have on in the room. Fun listen

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

Enjoyed this way more than I expected. Felt introspective. Great listen

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Not my favorite Steely Dan record, but there's a reason we played half of it in Bad Business. Great listen.

Faith

George Michael

4/5

Love the mix of 80s classics and a vocal standard style. Glad to get more time with this record

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Absolute Classic. Bowie was formative for me and this is one of the albums that did it. Love how weird it gets towards the end, but the the first half is the winner for me.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Undeniable. Great listen. Leaves me in awe.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

A favorite of mine. Sounds both incredibly classic but also all on its own somehow. Reminds me of everything, but still has so much its own sound. Love it.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Always makes me think of the matrix era. Hack the planet! That kind of thing

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

4/5

Great exemplar of the timelessness of old songs. Beautifully recorded too. These folks have been at the edge of my awareness for a while so grateful for a focused listen

Medúlla

Björk

4/5

Who is it was the standout for me. Beautifully recorded and such awesome, decisive music, even if it’s not an easy background listen.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

5/5

Amazing. Super cool live recording and a real treat to have on.

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Defined a sound. Amazing
