Sade

5/5

What a great debut album. It is a whole vibe.

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Different than the other Velvet underground’s discogory. Shows their versatility.

The Doors

4/5

Solid set of songs. At times energetic, moody, and contemplative all with a psychedelic theme through out. Classic 60’s era album.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Classic rock and roll foundational album.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Great Voice. Giving me great weekend morning vibes.

Survivor

Destiny's Child

4/5

Fun Album and some great harmonies. Usually not my style but found myself bopping along to several songs.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

A lot more moodier/ darker than I expected. Vocals and music felt a bit more alternative than pop. The band was great but that bassist was amazing!

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

5/5

One of the defining albums of the early 2000’s. Great vibes and love that the psychedelic feel made it back to the radio. Has that Flaming Lips influence.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

3/5

Blues/psychedelia from the late sixty had some bright spots, but did not quite hit the mark for me. Would be willing to give it another listen.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

5/5

Absolutely one of my favorite albums from one of my favorite bands. Who knew a Canadian band could be so good at capturing the American sentiment so well.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Great collection of songs from one of the best known crooners.

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

A few good tracks. The title track, life in the fast lane, new kid in town, and victim of love. The rest of the album just feels kind of meh.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Clearly an influence and a glimpse of what was to come in the 90’s alternative rock/grunge. Some surprisingly catchy parts.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

I did not like Wings when I was younger. I was a Beatles purist. Then I grew up. This is a great album.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

Not my favorite Beatles album.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

The album with Come on Eileen I think I was expecting something different. I was disappointed. I felt the second half of the album was better. I throughly enjoyed the instrumental portions.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

3/5

Will be giving this another listen. Not super familiar with anything other than their pop hits. Listened to it while I was working, so did not feel I got the full feeling of the album. Could see their influence in Trey and phish.

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

4/5

What a great album. Hope there is more of this on the list.

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

1/5

I want to give three stars just for the ambition of the album. (One of the defining albums of post-punk). Opening track is 9 minutes and last track is 7 minutes!!! However the lead singer/vocals ruined it for me . I get that it is likely the point but the vocals range is from the vocals that people use to make fun of pretension singers who take themselves to seriously to just downright awful. Will only be 1 or 2 stars.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

Pet sounds is one of my absolute favorites a master class in pure pop production. Also a little deeper than its sound.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Some great late 80’s hip hop. A classic.

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Just another Beck album that shows his versatility and willingness to change his sound.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

4/5

Have not listen to any of their stuff. Really enjoyed this. Will listen again and look forward to hearing more from them.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

2/5

Liked some songs. Found that I could not really get into it.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

Moody, dark and broody from post-punks pioneers Joy Division.

Homework

Daft Punk

4/5

Great to electronic/dance album.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Sassy, sardonic, and witty.

Everytime I listen to this album it bring me great joy and remember what a gem of an album it truly is.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

4/5

Great Sunday Morning/ Brunch vibes and stellar vocals.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

4/5

Great early psychedelic album from the Syd Barrett era of Pink Floyd. I like Saucerful of Secrects from the early Floyd era.

Cross

Justice

4/5

Lovely dan/electronic album that goes hard and gets me moving.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

This album is banger after banger. The one stars just do not get Eminem. The absurdity is the point.

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

4/5

Have never heard Baaba Maal before. It was a fun album. It reminded me of Paul Simon’s Graceland at parts and Vampires Weekend(both heavily influenced by African music)

Van Halen

4/5

Van Roth over Van Hagar. Classic hair metal band with one of the most iconic guitar players to have ever played the instrument. The bass player on this album is also great.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

4/5

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Great funk and soul album. First track has that sneaky funk for a pretty serious theme. Higher Ground and dont you worry bout a thing always gets ya movin.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Mike Patton the most interesting voice in rock and roll. I knew of epic and it has always been one of my favorite songs but never listened to anything else. I like this album. I head some things that would become what metal/post hardcore/alternative would come to sound like in the next two decades.

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Classic 90’s Album.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Classic Christmas Songs from one of the best producers of all time. Classic wall of sound production and some of the best studio musicians ever, the wrecking crew!

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

3 classsic Rock songs on this. Slash is an incredible guitarist and axel’s vocal range is pretty incredible. I like more song then I thought I would, but the songs sounded similar.
