Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Iconic hip-hop album. I'm not a fan of this genre, but I really liked the artists’ naturalness and the influences of other styles, like funk and gospel. I must read the lyrics: obviously they sing too fast for me 😅

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

Great debut album! 4 out of 10 songs are super famous. They expressed a variety of emotions with simple melodies. It's relaxing listening to them, but in general quite bland for me.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Nice discovery! Dark and energetic

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

2/5

Great voice and crazy stories, but the album is boring

Mask

Bauhaus

2/5

I partially enjoyed the first half of the album (especially The passion of lovers and Dancing), then they lost their focus. Apparently the sounds and the themes of some of these goth and post punk songs inspired the coming artists

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

5/5

One of the greatest jazz album of the last 50 years! Amazing musicians, with a top of the class saxophonist and bassline! Birdland became a standard, known by every jazz player

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Sophisticated R&B compositions and orchestra, iconic guitar groove! I'd say people went freak dancing on the hit song in late 70's

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

Great vocal performance! Dramatic, funny: you can notice a lot of his emotions also thanks to a mix of genres, like hard rock, funk, soul, blues

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Great band! You can hear the Beatles' echo. In this album Paul probably played what he intimately wanted

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

Less wow moments than the album from the other day, with more commercial songs and sounds. Still high level. "Where are we now?" is an amazing ballad

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

5/5

The best jazz solo album ever! The story behind this performance is amazing as well

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

3/5

Somehow they reminded me some songs of The cure and Radiohead. There are several catchy sounds, that are enjoyable and relaxing, but they are followed sometimes by discomforting noises, which I don't like 😅 I would say 2.5

Paul Simon

4/5

I enjoyed listening to the album. It's very relaxing and I appreciated the samba and blues contaminations

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Amazing!!! An important piece of history!

The Libertines

3/5

It's a good album, with deep lyrics. It seems a live album, with a lot of energy and hesitation sometimes.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Astonishing voice, that shines in all registers, thanks also to the support of an amazing orchestra. "Son of a preacher man" is the best song

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Both aggressive and technical. They are for sure historically important and brave for the future of hip hop, with their social criticism.

The Joshua Tree

4/5

Great album! Very mature sounds and some very famous songs!

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

Nice discovery! So creative!

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

3/5

The combination between the silly and the technical parts of the songs is well crafted

Roots

Sepultura

1/5

I hate this musical genre. I could listen until half of the album

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

Another nice discovery!

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Easy listening old country music. It contains some enjoyable and funny songs

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

It is a dense album, with many ideas on the orchestral arrangements. The lyrics are strange and confusing (see Levon), but they leave space for the interpretation. I think it's an high quality work. Tiny Dancer is a masterpiece

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

2/5

I didn't like it very much. I'd use it as background music or, probably, I'd have enjoyed it more while dancing, eheh! Never heard something like this. It's kind of an alternative electronic music

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

2/5

I found it cohesive, but boring

Foo Fighters

4/5

Very energetic to be a solo album! He had something to express. I liked it!

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

High level dark/gothic rock, but it's too depressing for me: I get sad eheh

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Very pleasant and relaxing

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

3/5

I appreciated his flow and the general vibe, but I should get more into the lyrics for his social criticism

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

3/5

Nice example of post-punk for a debut album

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

A must for everyone!

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Pleasant album. There are some musically elevated songs, such as River Man. It's a sort of evolution of old country, but a bit depressing

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Amazing piece of art

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

Unique voice! An album that is between dark and full of pathos, with deep lyrics and some climaxes. Nevertheless, I was not very much involved in this certain atmosphere

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

5/5

One of my favourite musical genre. Sinatra has a magic voice

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello
