2/5

I enjoyed the first bit of the album, but fell off as the sound became harder towards the end. I can understand why this may have helped define electronic music, but not my cup of tea.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

I feel like this album some good songs and some filler ones. If it had a few more songs I really enjoyed, I’m sure I’d be a 4.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

1/5

Phil Spector is a horrible human. The music and everything is great, but on principal.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

While this isn't the most amazing album I have ever listened to, in terms of lyrics or concept, the sound of this album is amazing. I feel like song transitions and atmosphere are perfect.

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

The Beatles are a classic. This album isn’t the most popular, to my knowledge but it still has their sound.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

This is my first listen to Leonard Cohen. I enjoyed it, but it is a new sound for me! His voice is the focal point and the context of the album as he is at the end of his life over a good listen.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

The beastie boys are an original rap group. I enjoyed it but it wasn’t an over the top enjoyment.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

2/5

The beastie boys are an original rap group. I enjoyed it but it wasn’t an over the top enjoyment.

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

Black magic woman is a classic but the album was great. This feels like a great album but also a great showing of classic rock.

Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

2/5

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Diamond Life

Sade

5/5

Honestly, get why it’s a classic. Fantastic mix of soul, jazz. You can feel her emotion in the way she sings.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Classic album from growing up. It has some of the most well known songs. The album a whole is good, but those singles are even better.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

3/5

I get why it’s a classic rock album and on this list. Some great songs but not my favorite album/band.

The Next Day

David Bowie

4/5

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

I enjoyed it! Would do 3.5 if I could

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Solid album with some classics! Really enjoyed it!

The xx

4/5

Solid album and was popular when I was younger. Overall, a great sound and a start for a lot of indie information.

No Other

Gene Clark

2/5

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

3/5

Good album! Not my favorite genre, but I really enjoyed some of it and some of it I did not care for.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Great album and classic/hardcore rock? It seems to be a classic album and i get why people love it. The use of guitar alone is amazing and full of sound. I enjoyed and will come back it.

Black Sabbath

3/5

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

I liked a lot of the songs off this album. You get a lot of the Jimi Hendrix experience and the guitarist he was. There are some songs that are 10/10, but some others that feel like filler. Overall, I feel like this album isn't the most amazing maybe 3.25-3.75/10. I am going to give it a 3, because I think the album itself feels scattered versus being cohesive. I think I would give it a 3.5 if I could.

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

3/5

There’s a lot of bangers on here and shows who Beyoncé was. There was just some songs I wasn’t vibing with or didn’t enjoy as much.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

I get why this is a top album. It’s got some great hits and is just overall a very cohesive fun album!!

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

2/5

I know this album had a lot of credit for its day, but I did not enjoy it as much.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

I really enjoyed this album. It was a great listen from start to finish and my first full intro to ZZ Top! It was a fantastic album and I enjoyed it a lot. I just wish Spotify didn’t have the live songs at the end of it.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

I don’t know if anything needs to be said about this one. It’s an amazing album.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

High Violet

The National

3/5

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

I like this album a lot. But I also am biased due to knowing a lot more about its influence than have listened to it. Is it a 5 for me? Maybe it’s a 4.5 but I think it deserves 5.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Cross

Justice

2/5

I enjoyed the first bit of the album, but fell off as the sound became harder towards the end. I can understand why this may have helped define electronic music, but not my cup of tea.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

I enjoyed this album a lot. Has a few songs that I did not realize were written by Smashing Pumpkins. I would go back and listen to this a lot. A solid grunge and rock album.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

Solid album.

En-Tact

The Shamen

1/5

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

2/5

Guero

Beck

3/5

Play

Moby

3/5

I enjoyed it and know it is one of the best-selling electronic albums.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

2/5

It's okay. I am learning that early Electronica isn't my favorite genre. It's a fine album, but not my cup of tea.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

i want to rate this a 4.5 because it's an amazing album. The album and songs are all iconic, but I want to save the 5's for truly the best of the best. I think this is almost there but has lost it with time.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

1/5

I think I have a headache.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

I really enjoyed this album. The sound of soft rock is great allowing it to be an enjoyable, but also a great listen while working. Glad I can appreciate Steely Dan more than when I was younger.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

A lot of the messaging of this album hasn't aged well. Not every song is a banger, but the life of this album has prolonged through hip-hop/rap. I think the enduring nature of this album lifts it up, even if not every song is the greatest of all time. Straight Outta Compton is still a blueprint for music today.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

I like some of the songs on the album but not the biggest fan of Neil Young’s voice or duration of songs.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Violent Femmes

2/5

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

This album has stood the test of time. It has defined a generation and help blend nu-metal into the populus. Overall, the album is great and I enjoy most of the songs. There are 1 or 2 I am no the biggest fan of, but it is overall a fantastic album.

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

2/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

I enjoyed a lot of the classic songs that I knew well. As an album, I think there are bits when it is too repetitive. Overall I enjoyed it, but I think it's a middle of the road album.

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

2/5

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

The album was a fun vibe.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

I enjoyed this album overall. I thought it had some great sound, and I enjoyed the rustiness of Janice’s voice.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

2/5

There’s no denying that Eric Clapton is an amazing guitarist. There’s also a lot that he’s not a great person in general. This album combines his guitar skills and a genre that doesn’t necessarily see him. And there is potentially something to be said about the white washing in this album with the reggae undertones overall, I think it’s an OK album, Eric Clapton isn’t the best person in the world/she’s kind of not a great person, and it just doesn’t seem to be the best Work.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Overall, I really enjoyed the album. Coldplay definitely has a distinct sound that you can sometimes love and sometimes Haight, but this album just really shows them and really shows their impact on music currently.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Elvis has an iconic sound even in his debut album. This album really shows who Elvis was and the reasons that he would go through and breakthrough in music. The album is enjoyable and great, and a lot of the songs are classics, particularly blue, suede shoes, but this album being all covers does take a bit away from the master that is Elvis. I think that this is an iconic and great album and I love the sound. I love Elvis. I love that he debuted with this and that this is what started just who he was, and how you changed the music and the scope of what popular music it was, but I do wish it was more original songs from him, which we will get later in his discography, but that doesn’t take away that this is probably one of the best debut albums of all time

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5
