3/5

Really fun. Blister in the Sun is obviously the major hit here. Good album overall.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

4/5

Excellent vibes, maybe a little outdated for the lyrics on "Gypsy Woman".

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Pretty good, I would say as Simon and Garfunkel go, this is very classic for them.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

This album has hit after hit on it. Insanely good. Elton John cooked with this one, as they say.

C'est Chic

CHIC

2/5

Insane quality as far as music and vocals, but every song went on for about 1-2 minutes too long. I suppose that's disco, but not my favorite aspect.

The World is a Ghetto

War

2/5

You know, this album was cool but way too long and maybe not the best? I liked the rhythms, but each song was really repetitive instrumentals.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

2/5

Not only is Kid Rock today kind of a sleazeball, his music back then was vulgar, raunchy, and intentionally counter to traditional songs. That doesn't make it good.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

3/5

It was a pretty album, and better vibes than the last couple.

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Good punk album from long ago.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

I recognize it's super influential and famous, but it's not so much my vibe.

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Good vibes overall

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

1/5

Thrash punk with little vibe

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

3/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

I've loved this album for a long time.

My Generation

The Who

4/5

A classic!

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

2/5

It was okay

Live!

Fela Kuti

2/5

Acid jazz, partially in another language, and a freaking vibe. Not a huge fan, but I really see the appeal.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

Classic punk rock. Not my fave, but I respect it.

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

It was fine. Edgy, sad, and nice on a good portion of it.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

3/5

Classic country, Christian focused. Not bad!

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

3/5

Super weird, kinda fun, not at all bad

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

4/5

Very enjoyable, and This Will Be Our Year is great.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

I didn't expect this album to be so ambient. It's like a mixture of feelings in instrumentals with very few lyrics. Good album overall.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

2/5

Grungey/punky. Not my favorite, but I can appreciate that it's not bad music. I don't know Mudhoney, so I'm not sure how influential they've been overall. I would say that it's not my vibe.

Dare!

The Human League

4/5

Some very fun songs on this one.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

Bob Dylan does be putting out good music

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

Very enjoyable jazz

Queen II

Queen

4/5

Definitely a banger, even with none of their most popular songs

War

4/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

As far as Christmas albums go, this absolutely slaps

Pretenders

3/5

More raunchy that I anticipated. Good old pop rock stuff

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Beautiful, relaxed, coffee shop vibes, really pleasant listening.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

Bangers on bangers. A surprisingly long album, full of great music. It's eclectic because it shows a lot of push and pull between Andrew 3000 and Big Boi's musical aesthetics

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Pretty interesting. Not sure I would have ever found this otherwise

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

4/5

That was a pretty great album, full of love and fun

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Fun girl pop from the 80s! We Got the Beat and Our Lips Are Sealed slap

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

It was fine. Very standard sound for Talking Heads, but nothing I super loved

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

Bonkers good, and just fun. Bat Out of Hell and Paradise by the Dashboard Light? Heck yeah.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

3/5

Good album, fun, quirky for the age, but I probably just didn't understand some references. Another listen with a focus on the lyrics would probably help.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

It's Prince. Beautiful songs.

Palo Congo

Sabu

1/5

I don't know the historical relevance of this album, but I really disliked it.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Very enjoyable, 70s rock is just really good with the right bsnd

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Entertaining for sure

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

1/5

Yeah, ambiance as an album is neat, but not something I really want personally. Acid trip type noise is all right but not for me.

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

3/5

I liked the vibe here and just listening. I didn't really register the lyrics on the first listen, but the sound was good.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Great fun and they sound amazing live. Really enjoyable with Jailbreak and The Boys are Back in Town.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

I mean, it's a super famous album, so

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Really chill album that is pretty. I guess he's from Crosby, Stills, and Nash?

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Beautiful music from a soulful, jazzy man. Very young, very upbeat but also sad

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

3/5

I really didn't expect so much political rhetoric, but I enjoyed it. This Irish/English punk is really edgy but good.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

Excellent live music.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

Loud Jack White with rock vibes I suppose. Not bad, not my fave, but good quality.

Gorillaz

2/5

Honestly, I get that it's a cool album, but it really wasn't my vibe. "Clint Eastwood" is the best song, and the seemingly only famous one from the album.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

I didn't know this album is where Asha on a 45 came from, and that song alone makes this album pretty good.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

4/5

Oh, they sold out. But this album is great. The Who are so fun and classic for me.

Cut

The Slits

2/5

I really didn't enjoy this too much. The singing was okay, but the instruments were meh.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Sinatra put all of his hits and covers of hits on one album, and it's great.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

Really fun and highly similar to things like Bob Dylan? Not sure if that's by design or not.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

I love this album and listened to it long ago. Glad to see it here.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

3/5

This was another Talking Heads album. Fun with that weird sound they're known for.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Great album. I didn't know there was so much blues as a part of it

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

Enjoyable but not markedly memorable

World Clique

Deee-Lite

3/5

Super fun with a couple of specific huge hits

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Beautiful, bluesy, meaningful.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

I have no idea if Dusty made these songs, but almost every song was well known or a hit

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Great! Really fun and nice even though the title track is overplayed.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Banger concept album. So much emotion and heart here.

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

Black Metal

Venom

1/5

I really couldn't make it through the album.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Didn't know so many bangers and pop hits were on this album.

1999

Prince

3/5

Hell yeah, Prince.

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

Excellent album. Little else to say.

Ctrl

SZA

3/5

Great music even if not for me

Dummy

Portishead

2/5

Not sure what was going on here

High Violet

The National

3/5

Emotional and good

The Man Who

Travis

2/5

Interesting album, very rocky and fun.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

I've heard Frank Ocean before and like his music. I'm not certain this was an album for me, and this I didn't super love it. Very cohesive and pleasant in some ways.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Excellent album with one of my favorite songs from Coldplay.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

3/5

I didn't know this album was as horny as it was. Pretty good! And it had that crazy hit song.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

2/5

If I'm being super honest, this is not John at his best. He maybe was better as a Beatle... That's a controversial opinion, I'm sure.

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

Not bad at all. Cool rock music at the turn of the century.

Fleet Foxes

3/5

A lot of ambiance and interesting sounds. Listening to it like 4 times in a row didn't make me love it, but I like Fleet Foxes well enough normally.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

This was very Americana and older country. Nice.

More Specials

The Specials

2/5

I'm not sure what was going on here. There was a lot of transition between almost reggae to rock? Not great, not terrible.

1984

Van Halen

4/5

Absolute banger for the just part. Starting with Jump and Panama sets it up to rock hard.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

Beastie Boys are good but were never super my jam. Good album with fun lyrics.

Violent Femmes

3/5

Really fun. Blister in the Sun is obviously the major hit here. Good album overall.
