Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

A classic album, every song just hits right. No bad tracks on the album, and some have ascended to legendary status (and infamy in guitar stores). Either way, what a crazy album to start with, one of my favorite bands still.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

At first listen, it kind of put me off guard. Yes, the playing is incredible, but it didn't stick to me. However, when you learn more about Jarrett and the buildup to this concert, it all comes together. They even made a film about it. All in all, the playing is beautiful, the fact that it's all improvised for the entire playthrough is something else. Incredible!

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

It’s a good album, there’s something about musicians doing covers of music outside of their genre in their style that I enjoy, like Willie Nelson’s Stardust.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Classic blues album, La Grange is a staple.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

3/5

Some classics in this, and it's enjoyable!

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

3/5

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

Fantastic, full of soul and emotion.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Zappa is a genius, but this album didn’t really stick to me. It’s also a reflection of its time, which is a positive I feel!

Pink Flag

Wire

4/5

Raw and fun, you can feel its influence in other acts.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

3/5

It was a fun listen, but not as impactful of an album to me.

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

An all time classic. Its impact on music surpasses genres and is still felt today.

Led Zeppelin

5/5

The one that started it all. Hammer of the Gods.

Liquid Swords

GZA

4/5

Fantastic album, but some songs felt repetitive and the beats just didn't stick. Only thing keeping it from being a 5, imo.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

3/5

Kate Bush's very avant-garde approach to music can draw people in. I've always liked her hits, but it's taken me a bit to actually get through the album. That's a testament to the focus I need to actually push through. I feel like it'll grow on me in time.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

The Joshua Tree

5/5

Fantastic album about an America that never existed but we wish did. Oh if only Bono didn’t let his ego take over…

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

Great record, one of the pillars of punk.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

3/5

I enjoyed the songs that blended mariachi music, however some songs definitely follow the typical country formula that we see today, along with some gospel and confederate apologist sentiments.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

4/5

Was a fun album, first time listening to this artist and I enjoyed it.

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

Beautiful album, a pinnacle.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

3/5

I mean... it has Rollin' and that song is forever a banger. I'll give it a 3, cannot deny the talents of Wes Borland.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

5/5

The King of Rock n' Roll had a classic here.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Some notable standards, the harmonies are great, but they do kind of grow long in one sitting.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

3/5

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

The first parts of this album are… something. Especially Mother. The album ends on an incredible run though!

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

One of my favorite R&B albums, he has to release another album soon... right?

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

3/5

The Steely Dan touches are all there, just without the sleaze and debauchery that I love about Steely Dan. IGY is a standout for good reason.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

A classic, sets the standard for live unplugged music from the Grunge era. I'm from Seattle, has to be a 5.

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

Metallica

5/5

A metal classic, seen as some as the beginning of the end for Metallica, but was my first steps into heavier metal after growing up with Black Sabbath and Ozzy.

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

One of the more misunderstood songs of all time is the namesake of this album. It's tragic that the problems in this album are still felt today. What a classic.
