Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

The result when four GOATs come together to make an album that would top the charts of Middle-Earth. Without a doubt one of the greatest albums of all time.

The Doors

5/5

Peak 60s, counter-culture era music. Jim Morrison is a legend for a reason and the real unspoken hero is the organist, Ray Manzarek. Would have loved to listen to them live in a smoky club in LA

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

Not my favorite cup of tea but a solid jazz album.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Great 80s pop

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

Another reason why 90s New York hip-hop is the greatest genre/era of all time (also 70s British rock). First time listening to a Beastie Boys album top to bottom and it was a treat. Did not realize how awesome their production and sampling are and some really beautiful instrumentals throughout the album. A new favorite to add to my list of top hip-hop albums for sure

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

One of the greatest debut albums of all time. Awesome album to listen to on the highway. Slash and Axl Rose are a legendary duo

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

Classic Smiths album

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Absolute classic, proud to own it on vinyl. My personal GOAT for Soul/R&B. Timeless tracks and the instrumentation beautifully supports Marvin Gaye's vocals

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

Very cool live album. Some nice hits and good sound overall

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

4/5

Beautiful reggae album. Some tracks with a bit of country/folk influences. Nice change in genres compared to the last albums

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

4/5

Very cool compilation of jungle music. Would listen to while playing a racing game

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Some great tracks and some very questionable ones

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

5/5

Beautiful voices and harmonies. Very unique pick and glad I got to broaden my music taste

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Not my cup of tea and found his voice kinda annoying. Crazy that this album came out in '79. Definitely sounds like it belongs in the early 2000s

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

Beautiful guitar and vocals. Some nice jazzy rock tunes and solid album overall

School's Out

Alice Cooper

4/5

Absolute classic

Take Me Apart

Kelela

3/5

Once again, not my cup of tea but I respect it

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

All American album. First complete listen and it was awesome. Many iconic tracks and great guitar and vocals along with some cool electric piano/organ parts

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

4/5

The Smiths have some very underrated musicianship. Johnny Marr is rightfully praised highly but the unspoken hero is the bassist Andy Rourke, who sadly passed a couple years ago.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

5/5

Wonderful, beautiful album. Some of the best bells/xylophone parts I've heard and Tim Buckley's got a great voice

Ramones

4/5

Classic British punk. Solid rhythm and guitar throughout

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

One of the best albums from one of the best bands of all time. One of my all-time favorites and I'm glad I got to listen to it again.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Legendary voice with some legendary songs. Great compilation of tracks and solid album overall

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Nice Neil Young album. Sound mixing of all the instruments sounded so good back then.

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

5/5

Brilliant album. Really cool sections with the tabla and sitar and a great listen with headphones

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Some classics but also not a big fan of Run-D.M.C. I respect their impact and legacy but I'd be lying if I said it was as good as other hip hop groups of the era

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

4/5

Nice indie rock album. First time listening to a full Pavement record and it was on par with others of its genre/era
