Tago Mago

Can

4/5

I enjoy Can in general, but tend to prefer the motorik beat side of Krautrock, and because of this lean into the songs where they hit a groove rather than a freak-out. Also, whenever I listen to the song Mushroom, I'm reminded that the main guitar lick sounds like the Monkees' Not Your Steppin' Stone.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

I do really enjoy this album, but kind of got burnt out from all the radio hits back when it was new. I much prefer side 2.

All Directions

The Temptations

5/5

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

My metal days are over, but this one still really holds up.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

There are some good tracks, but I just can't get into the general Big Beat sound and because of that, don't really like any of the radio hits. I found myself enjoying the remixes on the deluxe version more than the full album.

Paul Simon

3/5

The well known songs are great, but overall the album is a little lackluster.

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

Oddly this is the album that really got me into David Bowie and his full catalog. I knew all the hits, but Blackstar really got my attention right before he passed away. This one is always in my top three Bowie albums.

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Bert Jansch

3/5

It does follow in the style of music I usually enjoy, but unfortunately nothing really stuck out.

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

5/5

I love this album.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

While i always enjoyed the radio hits, I really got into Tears for Fears in my late 20s when they reunited for the album Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. I used to think songs from the big chair was hits and filler, but now I enjoy the whole album as one consistent statement.

Black Sabbath

5/5

Excellent choice for Halloween.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

I was surprised to learn that I was already familiar with a lot of the songs on this album. Overall it's a great album, but I still prefer the live version of the title track.

4/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

It was fine - I like disco and the title track is great, but the rest just feels kind of thrown together as a sub-part Chic album.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Dire Straits

2/5

I do enjoy select Dire Straits songs, but a whole album is too much for me.

Being There

Wilco

4/5

I really loved AM when it first came out and it's still my favorite Wilco album. I wasn't as excited about Being There when it came out and didn't really listen to it much. Now, it really holds up and foreshadows what Jeff Tweedy was going to do over the next 30 years with the band.

5/5

As a fan of ELO I will say that this album is great and worth listening to... though it's a big uneven with it's length and there are better ELO albums that could have been included in this list instead.

I'm not a Courtney Love hater and every Hole album has a few songs that i really like. But as a whole (ha ha) their albums aren't that great.

Pump

Aerosmith

4/5

This was the first CD I purchased after getting a CD player in Jr. High. It's still a solid album and there are songs I really like, but the production sounds dated. I appreciate the experimentation they did with the instrumental interludes and use of dulcimer.
