2/5

I don’t like this kind of music. But I can definitely appreciate its impact. I need to look into his story related to this album.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

First album, great way to start off spooky season. Listened on a walk today. I really enjoyed, it brought me back to elementary/middle school indie rock vibes.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

loved. it was so cool to hear so many classics come together in a way that told such a story. you can really see how influential Elton John was even at that time, but especially how those influences carried on through the evolution of music

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

I really enjoyed this one — I’ve heard a lot of it growing up so it was cool to hear it all come together. It sounded like an amalgamation of Sirius XM in a good way. Feels like a time where things were softer.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

It’s not my usual kind of music but I can see why Stevie Wonder is such an icon. The piano and ambiance is impeccable.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Although it’s a little theatrical for my taste, I did really enjoy this album. It’s very obvious to see where the power and passion came from during this time.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

FUCKING BANGER. peace love and hip hop for real. I am obsessed and forever upset that I wasn’t around to hear 80-90s hip hop as it happened.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

Not my usual vibe but I really liked it. The funk was funkin and the embrace of stereotypical British vs Indian culture and music was really cool.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

4/5

I was not at all expecting to start my morning with a flashbang memory of the Robots movie. Banger album. Love the dark alt-rock and theatrical vibes.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Another banger by the king. This one felt much more story-driven and a little darker, a little sadder. Chills.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

Not really my taste, but it was good and a lovely soundtrack to my walk.

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

3/5

Alright. The punniness was good but not really my taste. I liked Greenman a lot.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

Pretty good. Funky. I liked a handful of the songs but could take or leave the rest.

Throwing Muses

3/5

Surprised I haven’t heard of them before. Pretty cool, more my speed than some others I’ve heard. Though I felt like a lot of the songs sounded a little similar to each other.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Hard af. I loved all the samples and adlibs. It felt really down to earth and for the people, by the people.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

The man himself. I love Bowie. Classics all around. I also really enjoyed the instrumental tracks.

The United States Of America

3/5

Funky. Different from everything else I’ve had so far, and I’m surprised I’ve never heard of them.

Smile

Brian Wilson

2/5

I don’t like this kind of music. But I can definitely appreciate its impact. I need to look into his story related to this album.

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor

Lupe Fiasco

4/5

I really enjoyed this one. I was happily surprised to see Lupe Fiasco on this list — I don’t know this album but he was definitely a part of my music experience growing up.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Pretty good. A little long-winded for my taste but I enjoyed!

Van Halen

4/5

Banger. Crazy guitar riffs. A short but succinct overview of Van Halen imo.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

2/5

Alright. The little girl song was icky.

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Alright. Felt kind of monotonous to me.

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

I liked this one a lot, a nice way to start the morning. It had been a while since I listened to any Bob Marley, so an album with so many classics was a very lovely reintroduction.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Obviously I know Fast Car but it was really an experience to listen to the album in its entirety. Beautiful lyricism, everything feels the same in an individual way, it very much belongs together in the same project. Big fan.
