good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

not the usual type of music i listen to but objectively just sooo good

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

i think i'm biased because i grew up with mr blue sky and sweet talking woman (thank u dad) but also this is so fun from start to finish. will be listening a lot!

The Doors

2/5

not really my thing i fear. wasn't a fan of some songs lacking any kind of percussion

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

much preferred the first half but even then there was only a couple of songs that grabbed me... o mamma when will it end

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

nice to have on in the background !

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

musically very interesting ! some right bangers on this

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

actually enjoyed this more than i thought! nice to listen to whilst getting chores done

Celebrity Skin

Hole

4/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

2/5

this is on me because i go to music for the instrumentals more than the lyrics which is way less of the focus here. big poppa still hits tho

The College Dropout

Kanye West

1/5

refuse to give him streams

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

huge album for those that enjoy riding elevators

Guero

Beck

1/5

being super subjective here but i really couldn't stand this, every song was giving me a visceral feeling of wanting to just turn it off lol

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

3/5

really enjoyed some of these songs but i think i have to be in a certain mood for them, which i am not often in. maybe over time i will rate this higher as i let it marinate. i'm also way more of a background music person than a lyrics person, so a lot of the time these highly praised songwriters can go over my head. I Want You To Love Me may as well have gutted me and left me for dead though, i'll admit that much.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

2/5

the first half was pretty nice but some of the songs on the second half kinda annoyed me lol

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

Tommy

The Who

2/5

just a bit boring unfortunately, didn't care for the concept much

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

1/5

just hooting and hollering

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

3/5

i'm still trying to figure out what kind of metal i like but i enjoyed this way more than i thought i would!

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

i don't listen to her in my spare time but i can't deny the impact of this. i'd heard the majority of the songs before many times which speaks to how iconic it is

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

a bit forgettable but i can't fault it much

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

can totally appreciate them being one of the foundational influences for post-punk/goth rock, which are some of my fav genres. really liked some songs but others not so much

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

3/5

surprisingly didn't hate it

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

1/5

for the love of god i'm so over all these subpar 60s psychedelic rock albums. if these men were young today they'd be the type to have podcasts where they talk about absolutely fucking nothing and think they're god's gift to the world

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

i think with what it's trying to do, it does very well. unfortunately i just didn't vibe with it that much. made me feel weirdly sad and it didn't help with how long it is. also kinda reminded me of the whole millenial optimism trend, i'm sure they were eating this up

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

really enjoyed this, admittedly haven't listened to much of bowie so excited to hear the other albums on this list

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

5/5

LOVED this. very cohesive album whilst also being so stylistically diverse. Prince was an absolute genius

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

2/5

was vibing with this but the speaking parts really threw me at times lol

I Am a Bird Now

Antony and the Johnsons

3/5

less my thing musically but the lyrics were so honest and vulnerable. felt like listening to someone's diary

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

absolutely adored this. one of those albums where it all just flows. couldn't turn it off for the rest of day after the first listen. i wasn't really checking the song titles as i listened so i couldn't tell you my favourites, but i do know there are none i don't like or wanted to skip, which does not happen for me often!

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

so dreamy!

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

this could be a 4, maybe closer to a 3.5. really good just have to be in a certain mood for it

Moondance

Van Morrison

2/5

got bored pretty quickly, not a fan of his vocals

Tom Tom Club

3/5

one of those albums where it's good and i can hear the influences that it's had but it just didn't really grab me so much

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

great album - particularly obsessed with She's So Loose, couldn't turn it off all day

The xx

2/5

unfortunately have to agree about it all being a bit dull, and the cursive singing got pretty insufferable real fast
