1/5

Groundbreaking I'm sure but a brutal listen.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

2/5

Typical new wave, nothing particularly ear-catching.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

Never gave a proper listen after Graduation. All Of The Lights is an all time banger. Runaway pretty good as well.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Hard driving rock. Some catchy rocking tunes.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

5/5

All time all time. All bangers in their own way. CSNY is fucking awesome.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

Nirvana without the depth of electric sound doesn't work as well for me as for some others.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

Never knew this was very much an ode to P-Funk. Gs and Hustlers with the Bernard Wright sample is an all time banger.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

2/5

Hard charging rap. Strong message. Not the best ear candy.

Live!

Fela Kuti

3/5

Solid, no real bangers.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

Quite a few songs with steady radio play growing up. Never really understood this band all the songs really seem to blend together. La Grange is my favorite ZZ Top song and unfortunately not on this album.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

2/5

Meh.

Feast of Wire

Calexico

3/5

Had never heard of this band. Unique sound, decent background music.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

3/5

Very off the beaten trail for me but a good head nod.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

So many very familiar songs and sampled beats.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

5/5

Southern Man is an all timer. Classic singer songwriter album. Cripple Creek Ferry is a 90 second sleeper.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

2/5

Meh I understand it was groundbreaking for the time but other than I Can See For Miles there's just nothing good here.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

2/5

Can see the groundbreaking nature of it but not melodic enough house for me.

Suicide

1/5

Groundbreaking I'm sure but a brutal listen.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Banger after banger. Cover to cover classic.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Chill and soulful but never really gets out of 1st gear.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

1/5

Lyrics and no musical quality.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

So many Christmas classics. Didn't know these were the versions that got played so often on radio.

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

A few lesser songs, but I love The Strokes. Someday, Last Night, Hard to Explain all bangers. Some repetitiveness to the songs.

Fragile

Yes

5/5

A prog rock classic.

Connected

Stereo MC's

3/5

Iconic opener. Chill upbeat background music besides.

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

2/5

Decent sound and progressive I'm sure for the time but very repetitive and nothing more than background music.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Lots of radio classics here.

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Some classics from my youth but a mixed bag as an album.

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

1/5

Grime genre doesn't work for me. No sound all lyrics.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Musically significant with a decent but repetitive sound.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

1/5

Brutal listen.

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

A modern classic. Hit after hit.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

Everything In It's Right Place and Idioteque are classics with a bit of non-descript filler in between.

Da Capo

Love

4/5

Pretty good! Didn't know anything from Love previously. Jammy psych rock.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Very very 80s. Almost so much so it's a joke. Some decent songs but mostly just lyrics heavy.

Pretenders

3/5

No "Back on the Chain Gang," but not knowing much about the band besides that seemed a solid effort.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Jazz that's a bit too low tempo for me to love it but definitely good background music.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Classic singer songwriter. Slightly on the soft end for my personal preference though I love "Feeling Groovy"

American Pie

Don McLean

4/5

More classic singer/songwriter. "American Pie" and "Vincent" both all-timers. Bit of filler besides.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Bland singer/songwriter.

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

1/5

Really tough listen. Slow, folky, boring.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

"Where is my mind?" is a standout. Everything else? Not so much.

Sulk

The Associates

3/5

Never heard of this group. Pretty good can hear early prog/synth influences along with British New Wave.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

Hard charging classic rock.

1984

Van Halen

5/5

All time classic. Hit after hit with a few sleepers in between.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Chill background folk singer/songwriter.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Pretty generic background house/electronic music.
