2/5

Didn't like any song and will likely never listen to it again. The first album I've encountered that feel like it's on here as a snapshot of what things were like at the time rather than on its merit. This is what culture felt was female sexual empowerment in 2003. Compared to Sabrina Carpenter or Chapel Roan we can see how messed up it is. But it's all part of the same history.

Real Life

Magazine

2/5

Good sound, I can hear a lot of influences on more modern bands. But not my cup of tea personally and not taking anything to the hit list.

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

Heard the hype and it's true. Classic and fresh at the same time. An album that offers variety while being instantly recognizable.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Hadn't listened to the whole album before, but none of the less known songs stood out. Always good to spend time with Dolly.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

The hits are good but the rest is meh. Blues written for men who had a guaranteed pension and enough in the bank to buy a second house isn't where it's at.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

2/5

The weight is good, Chest Fever surprised me. The rest weren't memorable.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

So good. Biased as I was there to watch the 911 hangover hit and listen to this album express the feelings we had as teenagers back then. But the songs on their own are great and the album as a whole flows so well. Proof not everything in the early 2000's was awful.

Permission to Land

The Darkness

4/5

Fun songs. And glad to finally enjoy the missing link that gave us NSP.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Glad I listened to it. Like Shakespeare and Citizen Kain, good context for where we are today and how we got there. But probably won't ever listen to it again.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

4/5

Wow, glad I was introduced. Finding good songs outside my experience is why I'm doing this. So it's great to see one in the first week.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Love Alice in Chains' sound. Unfortunately it's their only sound. Bones is forever a part of me given how many times I played it on Guitar Hero.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

2/5

Black Sabbath

3/5

Good, not nearly as good as Paranoid but everyone has to start somewhere.

Pornography

The Cure

2/5

Oof, feels like the 1001st entry. Couldn't tell when it changed songs other than the titled album and wow was the whole thing underwhelming.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Gimme Shelter gets the album a 3 even if it was the only song on it. Everything between it and You can't always get what you want are filler, but still worth a once over.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

Holy hell. I knew Cat Stevens from Wild World, but this is awesome. Like, when D&D thought up a bard they just wrote up what it felt like to listen to this album and you got someone who's pure musical expression could defeat mythical beasts.

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

Good, but not my thing.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

2/5

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

Good, historically important, but not my thing.

The Modern Dance
