Definitely your typical 80's soft pop album. Pretty good overall. I don't think it's the greatest album in the world, but it's pretty solid.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson · 1 likes

All Ratings

Black Sabbath

4/5

Very heavy for 1970's rock. If you like doom metal, listen to the first track. Cool bass solo in N.I.B.

The Doors

5/5

Very psych-rock. It incorporates organ into the music, which adds a nice touch. Quite a bit of songs about being drunk. A quintessential album. Revolutionary album that changed music forever.

Stankonia

OutKast

5/5

Rap combined with electronic. Pretty good, especially for a rap album. Bombs Over Baghdad (B.O.B) and Mrs. Jackson are quintessential tracks. (B.O.B is my favorite). Overall very chill rap. Some of the interludes sound like the Minecraft OST

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

Speaks about inequality and racism. Overall, a really good album. Revolutionary in the world of soul and funk music. Pioneer in defining the soul and funk genres. Lots of horns and organ in the music.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

Very psychedelic. Perfect mix of psychedelia and prog-rock. Have a Cigar is one of their heaviest tracks. Really great album! Welcome to the Machine sounds like Wish You Were Here and Have a Cigar combined. Wish You Were Here is very chill and acoustic. Good for a funeral.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Very heavy for a 70's album. War Pigs is probably their most political song. The song Iron Man is their most popular. Electric Funeral is really heavy and really good! Overall, I give it a 9/10

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

4/5

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

5/5

Sounds very chill. It has rock and jazz influences, which I like. The rapping isn't fast or aggressive or extreme. It's mostly just chill rap/rock/jazz. Definitely one of my favorite rap albums.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

5/5

It's mostly acoustic folk-y stuff with some electric guitar driven songs. I can tell he's inspired quite a bit by Simon and Garfunkel in terms of instrumentation. The lyrics are mostly political, with some being not so political. Overall a really good album.

Green

R.E.M.

5/5

Sounds like a typical R.E.M album. Orange Crush is the most popular song, and I can see why. Definitely shows how they've adjusted to the classic, lighter R.E.M style

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

5/5

Definitely sounds like a 70's punk rock album. Incorporates a lot of saxophone, which probably inspired the 90's Ska Punk movement. Very good songs on there!

Pretty solid rock album. Not my favorite, but still pretty good.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

5/5

Some mellow singer- songwriter songs. Very chill and acoustic. I really like this album.

Somewhat bluesy. Sounds like many of the artists of this era. Definitely one of the best Sam Cooke albums. I particularly enjoyed this one.

Blur

5/5

Sounds a lot like Oasis. Definitely a really good album. Pretty essential 90's rock album. Has Song 2 on it which makes it a very popular album. Pretty good, overall.

The Stooges

5/5

Iggy Pop is amazing! This is a really good hard rock album! Definitely one of The Stooges best works!

A quintessential album, let alone quintessential Micheal Jackson album. This album combines pop, soul, and RNB. It is a great album! Very catchy, Michael Jackson sounding songs. Very good!

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Really good album. Incorporates elements of reggae, but it's mostly rap. Quintessential rap album. Overall, one of my favorite rap albums.

Live Through This

Hole

Sounds a lot like Nirvana (Not super surprising, judging by the fact that Courtney Love is the frontwoman of this band). Great album! Recommend for Nirvana fans.

Norah Jones

5/5

Very chill and acoustic. Really good album! Highly recommend for people who like chill music and singer-songwriter hits from the late 60's and 70's

Amnesiac

Radiohead

5/5

Sounds like the Minecraft OST. Very electronic and not as heavy or rock oriented as their previous albums. Very good album, though!

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

5/5

Very electronic. Very futuristic and synth-y. I really like it. The 22 minute title track Autobahn is the best on the album. Very futuristic- sounding for 1974.

Odessa

Bee Gees

5/5

Sounds like any other Bee Gees album. Overall, really good. Definitely a classic album of theirs. One of their more acoustic albums. Potentially one of my favorites.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Really good! Combines jazz and hard rock. Very good album! One of my favorite prog-rock albums!

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

4/5

Pretty acoustic and chill. It's a good album. It's modern and kind of older music at the same time, which I kinda like about the album.

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

4/5

Pretty good. Not my favorite rap album, but I'm still a pretty big fan.

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

Latin music combined with rock and jazz. A really good album! Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen is a quintessential track!

Really good! Definitely one of my favorite Paul McCartney/Wings albums! There are some lighter, more acoustic tracks and then some more rock-oriented tracks, which balances out the album perfectly.

Third

Soft Machine

5/5

Very long songs and song structures. I really enjoyed this album. Very psychedelic and electronic. Really good album!

Frank

Amy Winehouse

The influence from 60's girl groups is definitely heard. Sounds a lot like 60's soul. Overall a pretty good album, but it's not my favorite.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Sounds a lot like their previous work. Definitely an essential Fleetwood Mac album. Probably my favorite!

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

5/5

I can definitely see why this album is on here. Definitely a quintessential Bee Gees album. It's an underrated and underappreciated classic! Some of the more melancholy-sounding tunes that defined their work of the late 60's and 70's.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

5/5

Pretty good! A lot of instrumental pieces. I think that it's a classic album and it's very underrated.

Fun House

The Stooges

5/5

Sounds a lot like their previous album. It seems to be more like punk rock than the first album. Overall it's really good. A lot of The Stooges work is the hard rock/blues rock style music. Very good!

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Sounds like most of the late 60's and early 70's funk and soul music. It's an amazing album! Quintessential 70's music!

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Very orchestral. Sounds a lot like Frank Sinatra's previous and later work. Very good!

I See You

The xx

4/5

A surprisingly good album. I'm not usually a fan of Indie Pop, but this album is really good. Sounds slightly like Radiohead in the early 2000's.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Pretty solid album. Very similar to her first album. The influence of 60's girl groups like The Supremes are prevalent. I think I like this better than her first album.

On The Beach

Neil Young

5/5

Sounds a bit like Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Very acoustic, with a nice touch of harmonica. Definitely one of Neil Young's best album's

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

5/5

Sounds a lot like Derek and the Dominos. Very Eric Clapton style guitar parts. Very good!

You Are The Quarry

Combines Alt-rock with pop and gives this nice sound. Very relatable songs, especially I Forgive Jesus. Very solid album.

5/5

Very good album! Definitely has some of their classics! Perfect balance of keyboard and guitar. Absolutely amazing!

The Last Broadcast

Doves

5/5

Very good. Chill indie rock. Masterful album! The best song on this album is definitely Words. I can definitely see why it's on here!

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

Very electronic. An essential electronic album of the 80's and in general. Definitely sounds like the album that influenced most electronic groups or musicians. Overall a pretty good album.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

Sounds like the typical, yet classic, political punk rock of the late 70's. Definitely an essential punk album and an essential album by The Clash. Definitely has some influence of reggae and other genres that aren't really as heavy as punk rock. Wonderful album!

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

5/5

Very folky. I personally really like this album. The British Indie scene is a very underground and underrated scene. The album was very entertaining to listen to. Definitely belongs on here.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

5/5

Very good. Huge fan of the album. It's your typical Isley Brothers album, but I think it's Definitely one of their best, if not, their best.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

Solid rap album. Definitely one of my favorites. It's a very underrated album and I think it should be recognized more. Very good!

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

5/5

Definitely a great rap-rock album. Definitely underrated. It incorporates Soul, R and B, Rap, and Rock, which are all genres that I am a fan of. Criminally underrated.

Arise

Sepultura

5/5

Amazing album! It combines thrash metal with groove metal and other genres. Max Cavalera's vocals add all the more reason to love this album. It's an amazing album! One of my favorite metal albums. This is truly an underrated masterpiece!

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

One of the best live albums of all time, if not, the best. Definitely a classic that solidified it's place in music history. Honestly, it's my favorite Johnny Cash album.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

5/5

Definitely one of my favorite country albums. It's definitely one of his most popular albums and has solidified it's place in music history.

Odelay

Beck

5/5

Sounds like his previous work, but more experimental. It has more electric guitars and synthesizer and turntables. Really good album. It deserves more credit than it gets for it's influence on modern artists.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Sounds a lot like jazz. Definitely a great album that offers a different style of music for me. I really enjoyed this album. I think it should be a classic.

Fragile

Yes

5/5

One of the best prog-rock albums. One of the best 70's albums. It is amazing! My favorite Yes album. It's the first CD I ever bought. It truly is one of the greatest albums of all time and definitely deserves it's spot on here. It combines heavy, driving riffs with soft piano music. The instrumentation on this album is completely mind-blowing. The lyrics are as well, offering some of the greatest and most touching lyrics of all time. I have a ton of nostalgia associated with this album and it really makes me think back to all of those good times. When I first listened to it I was blown away. When I listen to it for the umpteenth time now, I am still blown away. Roundabout is my favorite Yes song. It was the first Yes song I've ever listened to. Heart of the Sunrise always touches me and makes me think about life. It truly is an amazing album and I cannot stress this enough!

Achtung Baby

4/5

It's a good album. It's not my favorite U2 album, but I think it does deserve it's spot here. There are other albums that are probably more deserving of the space on here, but still, it's an underrated gem.

American Pie

Don McLean

5/5

Very good album. Combines Rock N' Roll with folk music. The title track is the most well-known, but the other tracks on this album are very good as well. Very underrated songs. The piano melodies with the acoustic guitar where very good and pleasant to listen to.

Traffic

5/5

Really good album. Definitely one of Traffic's lesser-known albums. It's criminally underrated, though. Traffic has a distinct sound that branches out in this album and it's really cool how they incorporate other ethnic music in here. Vagabond Virgin is definitely the best song on here. It's very underrated and I think it's one of Traffic's best.

Moby Grape

5/5

Sounds like Quicksilver Messenger Service. It is definitely a psychedelic rock staple from the San Francisco scene. One of the greatest psychedelic rock albums ever!
