Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

Dookie by Green Day

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal

Could not get into it. Not necessarily bad music. Just not something. I could connect with

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood

Winwood is hit or miss for me. Most traffic is a hit. Most winwood solo is a miss

Music From Big Pink by The Band

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu

Has a feel like The Shape of Punk to Come. Its not quite as iconic but you can feel and hear how much was influenced from it.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis

Risque by CHIC

Pretenders by Pretenders

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

some guitar, a nasally voice talk/singing a few words and then some harmonica. If you like the sound of that repeated for an hour this album is for you. I appreciate and understand Dylan's influence, but this is not in my wheelhouse at all

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile

Very forgettable. Didn't even realize the album was over until I heard a song playing that I recognized

The Real Thing by Faith No More

The Idiot by Iggy Pop

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners

very dull, very bland very forgettable

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

I was dreading listening to this album. I know where Bob Dylan stands for me: Respected but not fond of at all, but this record was a breath of fresh air and plesently unexpected, much more of a blusey feel but still with the typical Bob Dylan storytelling underneath. I actually might give it another listen at some point.

There's No Place Like America Today by Curtis Mayfield

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt

Was pumped to get a punk album after a few that felt like wading through mud. Started out well, but it didn't grow. There was one big well of energy at the beginning, and then it just held there. Nothing stood out because there was no change. it was just a constant barrage of high intensity noise. Its one of those albums where its understandable why its included in this list, but misses for me.

LP1 by FKA twigs

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Group Sex by Circle Jerks

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West

I really have to separate the art from the artist on this one, but purely from a musical standpoint, this album is great. Song after song, hit after hit, all the little melodies that have been stuck in my head with no context for years, this album will probably go into a semi-regular rotation.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's

The Joshua Tree by U2

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka

Crazysexycool by TLC

Groovin' by The Young Rascals

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band

As an avid listener of alternative music growing up, I always get nervous when I've never even heard of a band. Some times its because of my ignorance, but I'd like to consider myself well versed in the alternative world. This album was completely unremarkable in every way. I cannot figure out what is influential about it, but maybe it will take a few listens.
