Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

This is a grower, but once you get it, you get it. I’m obsessed with this now.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Banger after banger. A vibe when you’re in the mood for AC/DC, which is almost never—but not never!

Dire Straits

3/5

I’ll always love Sultans of Swing but the rest of the album is pretty forgettable

Underwater Moonlight

not my cup of tea but I lowkey vibed with this

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

I thought I would hate this but you know what? Hell yeah, Funkadelic.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

Johnny Cash does covers. I mean, he does them well, but still.. it’s all just.. covers?

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

this album takes a little bit of something from everyone who was around on the ‘80s—Clash, Cure, Erasure, you name it—and somehow manages to makes it sound so generic, it hurts

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

So very very very British 🫡

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

I miss music like this.. So contagious ✨

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

2/5

I felt like I was listening to the same bland REM song for over an hour

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

4/5

trains mentioned 🚂🚂🚂

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

I haven’t seen the movie but this album is super fun

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

3/5

I actually like this record but I’m not sure what it’s doing on this list. That being said, Minnesoter is such a good track.

Palo Congo

Sabu

2/5

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

I vibe with this - political, energetic, unique.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

So talented and gone too soon 💔

Tank Battles

Dagmar Krause

2/5

German Edith Piaf from the ‘80s

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

5/5

This was my first ambient album and I will never not love it.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

5/5

Obsessed with this. The vibes are so dark and luxurious. A perfect album.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

I fear I love REM.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Hell yeah, these guys really love walkable cities.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Incredibly emotive and energetic. And their debut! Goddamn, Karen O, no one does it like you.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

I need half stars for this.. it’s not a 3, not yet a 4.. I get it, but I fear this isn’t my stuff. Cohen’s voice is doing most of the heavy lifting, and the album peaks with the first song.. Respect but not for me.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

5/5

I think I’m a post-punk girlie. Proto Parquet Courts. Just so fun.

Common

4/5

Honestly surprised to find this here but it deserves to be. Absolutely one of my faves. 4.5 if I could.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

2/5

Heinz Baked Beans haunts me.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

A lad insane indeed

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

2/5

Christmas vibes. Not for me.

1984

Van Halen

2/5

It gets points for having a cherub smoking cigs on the cover, but it’s still Van Halen.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

3/5

I think the movie absolutely ruined Queen for me..

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

4/5

This fucken slaps

Superunknown

Soundgarden

2/5

This is so ‘90s [derogatory]

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

This is an album I should loooooove but I kinda only really like. Kurt Vile’s legacy continues via dreamy Springsteen Americana—it sounds pretty, tho. Honestly a 3.5 but it’s definitely not a 3, so 4 it is..

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

5/5

I have no idea why but I absolutely love this

The World is a Ghetto

War

2/5

I wanted to love this but it’s kinda same-y and slow throughout.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

Bowie’s in space!!!!!!!!!!

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

If you have to sit through a Lynyrd Skynyrd album, this is it. I’d rather give this a 3 but this is their DEBUT ALBUM. America used to be a country 🫡

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

“White Reggae” is right.. yikes.. Message in a Bottle still slaps, but the rest is whatever (and I love Sting).

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

3/5

Seems it’s incomplete on Spotify so I can’t say for sure but this is super anthemic in a way that makes it hard to listen to, say, commuting. Maggot Brain is superior. (Also two Funkadelic albums on this list???)

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

A Beach Boys album that starts by telling you, “Don’t go near the water.” We love a self-aware shift.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

4/5

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

Absolute bangers, no skips

Gorillaz

4/5

The chokehold the melodica had on early 2000s Brit bands

Orbital 2

Orbital

2/5

Maybe if I’m at the after after afters at noon the next day and want to have a chill comedown..

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

NORTH AMERICAN SCUM

Night Life

Ray Price

1/5

This album is supposedly a tight 37 minutes but it felt endless. Every song after the intro sounds identical. This is supposed to be one of the best 1001 albums? I’m so upset one spot was wasted on this monotonous honky-tonk crooning.

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

3/5

I gotta hand it to him—cars ARE cars.

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

I love REM, I really do, but what the hell is this doing on this list?

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

Illmatic
