Franz Ferdinand

4/5

lowk jacqueline my favourite despite take me out being on here

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

So damn energetic, it's actually impossible not to sing or dance along. I can't unhear the LeBron cover of "Man in the Mirror" tho

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

a couple songs stood out to me otherwise i didn’t really vibe with the rest too heavily but overall it’s definitely something i’d put on every now and then :D

Tidal

Fiona Apple

2/5

didn’t really grab me at all, just not a fan of this one unfortunately :(

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

solid debut album some fun songs in there

Rio

Duran Duran

5/5

absolutely adore this album, short and sweet <3 I have this on repeat so often

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

I will preface by saying my dad would probably kill me if I gave this album less than a 4. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, more than i do with most of these album suggestions so far, but i feel like it drops a few points for me due its length. Not denying Hendrix's talent at all, clearly one of the greatest to ever do it, just sometimes feels like the melody runs away in a few tracks and kind of lingers around until he's back on course. Feels like such a nit-pick regardless, the highs really outweigh any negatives I have.

The Band

3/5

honestly didn’t enjoy this one as much as i thought i would

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

plenty of iconic songs - thank you guardians vol 1 🙌 probably only a handful of weaker songs, otherwise one my of my favourite entries so far of this album a day journey :D

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

a cool and smooth half hour, felt like a cup of coffee on a brisk autumn morning

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

really enjoyed the first half of this album quite a bit but my interest died off into the latter maybe it deserves another listen so that it might grow on me

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

3/5

i feel bonita

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

2/5

I can see why this album was quite the craze when it released, offering a refreshing perspective on the industry. The writing is brash and intrepid, i like it. Overall I didn't vibe with most of the tracks, Gunshy was lowkey the standout for me.

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

i couldn’t get with this one unfortunately

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

very cosy, can feel myself curling up infront of my nonexistent fireplace with my nonexistent rocking chair. A cup of hot chocolate with mini marshmellows and knitted quilt and dozing off.

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

a good introduction to blues music

Tago Mago

Can

2/5

started out promising but just felt like a long ass jam sesh, like a straight to streaming movie.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

DID SOMEONE SAY MEATLOAF!? felt like i was listening to a movie commentary track about a musical, i fw this heavy

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

purely for HIMYM

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

Surprised to see Willie Nelson pop back up so soon on here but it’s always welcome. Country music is something i’d never seek out usually but i think if im in the right mood i’d chuck this one Bandera lowkey gave me some animal crossing vibes half way through, thought i accidentally switched tracks

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

5/5

genuinely all hits, no misses

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

really fun, honestly did a double take hearing pixies

The War On Drugs

4/5

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

don’t think i’ve never not liked Stevie Wonder’s music, genuinely feel so warm whenever i hear his songs

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

3/5

keep throwing blues music my way and i’ll enjoy every second of it

Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

2/5

didn’t really get this one, only one or two songs i gelled with otherwise this felt like a discombobulated strung together album

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

4/5

The beginning of “This Corrosion” has me feeling like I was listening to a Mr.Bean episode. Very upbeat, every song had something different to offer, would listen again :)

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

does marvin gaye have a clue fr? makes me wanna learn to slow dance

4/5

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Leave home sounds like the extended cut of the “you wouldn’t download a car” piracy ad, can see this whole album being apart of some mid 2000's indie rock film the songs flowed pretty nicely into each other as well, absolutely love when artists do that makes you want to listen to the whole album one too many mornings and alive alone felt like a movie character send off, they're walking off into the sunset onto new beginnings as the credits roll. maybe im just describing the album cover playground was essentially goop vibes, my brain was getting scanned, that probably makes no sense but that's what i heard i can say i didn't have high expectations for this one coming in but i enjoyed it more than i thought i would

Run-D.M.C.

2/5

i can see why it’s so influential Saw hard times and immediately thought of paramore, maybe i should listen to some paramore

In Utero

Nirvana

2/5

i feel like i'd be crucified if i didn't give this a 4 or higher but i really didn't like this considering how popular nirvana is. 1 Star for their pop-culture impact and 1 star for All Apologies

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

my brain-rotted ass had me thinking i was listening to a family guy episode with flight of the foo birds this album definitely got me in the mood to watch a chicago or moulin rouge to scratch that musical in a the big bustling city vibe

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

thank you community chicken fingers goodfellas episode, community always putting me on
