I really enjoyed this album. Janelle Monae is so talented. I've only heard one album by her prior to this but wow this one might be a new favorite.

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

It's surprising that this is the first time I've ever fully listened through a Nirvana album. I've known their singles from listening to the radio but never have gone out my way to listen to a full album. So, I recognized 4/12 of the songs on In Utero. It's honestly everything I'd expect from a Nirvana album.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

I've listened to Bruce Springsteen before, he's just never been my style I guess. So I went into this album not expecting to enjoy it. I was glad to find I did enjoy it after all. It was a nice album to listen through while going out for a morning walk.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

I love Pixies

Bad

Michael Jackson

5/5

Yep this is definitely a Michael Jackson album

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

I don't know what I was expecting but certainly not this. Very fun listen!

The Score

Fugees

4/5

I love this album

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Another Springsteen album? Well once again I have been surprised and actually really like this. Might be my favorite out of the albums I've listened to so far by Springsteen.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

3/5

This album is so long. It's got some great songs on it, but by the 20th song I was ready for it to end. Pretty interesting that Rundgren did all the vocals and instruments himself for about 3/4ths of the album. I think I'll listen to this album again but maybe in bits at a time.

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

4/5

Incredible and influential album

Virgin Suicides

Air

3/5

Never watched or even heard of the movie this soundtrack was created for. It has an interesting sound, good sort of background music. Kinda gave me Pink Floyd vibes for a few of the songs? Like there's a sort of experimental, atmospheric rock sound. I like it.

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

I only knew only two songs on this album going into it, but a few others stuck out to me as I listened. It's a fantastic album and I really appreciate what the band stands for.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

Harmonica has got to be the most obnoxious instrument. Although honestly it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so intrusive. Every time the harmonica comes in, it is the loudest thing on the album. If it wasn't so loud I probably wouldn't mind as much. Besides the harmonica, I overall don't care too much for this album. I really can't decide if I hate Dylan's voice. I tried to focus more on the lyrics, but his voice just takes me out of it. I recognized Stuck Inside of Mobile from the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Also I was like "I know I've heard of a leopard skin pillbox hat before" and it's because Death Grips used the reference in a song title. If anything, I appreciate getting the chance to listen to this album, regardless of my personal preference.

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

3/5

A very slow and quiet album. Beautiful but I am ready to take a nap now.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

3/5

This album definitely makes me think 60s. I've heard of The Byrds but never listened to them. I enjoyed this album.

Iron Maiden

4/5

Finally some metal! I love Iron Maiden.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

This is a fun album. Only song I recognized is We Are Family. Lost In Music is my favorite song from the album. Some of the slower songs took me out but overall I enjoyed this.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

I'm a big fan of the Fugees and this solo album by Lauryn Hill doesn't disappoint.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

This album makes me want to dance. Which checks out because apparently it was the best selling salsa album of its time. When I first saw the album cover I wasn't sure what to expect. But I really enjoyed this album, it was nice to listen to as I went for a walk on a beautiful sunny day.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

3/5

Not a bad album but also not sure what qualified it for this list.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

Another fun album by The Pogues. I can't believe out of 1000+ albums, I get the two by this artist less than a month apart from each other.

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

I love this album so much. It's such a perfect album and one of the best concept albums I've ever heard.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

3/5

Unsure how I feel about this album. I really like the instrumentals but I'm a bit mixed on the vocals.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

I recognized two songs off this album: Breakdown and American Girl. Pretty solid classic rock album.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

I recognized Le Freak and I Want Your Love. At Last I Am Free almost completely took me out of this album. Thankfully, the last two tracks were bangers.

Black Metal

Venom

3/5

A very influential album for metal. Some lyrics were a bit cheesy but that's just the 80s lol.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

3/5

I may come back to this album for a second listen. Really enjoyed a lot of the songs.

Blur

2/5

Got bored of this album kinda fast. I've heard Song 2 hundreds of times before. A few songs stuck out to me but not enough to make me want to revisit this album.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

4/5

A very influential album in regards to electronic music. I find it funny that Wikipedia says this is his first album not intended for use as a soundtrack. It very much sounds like it could be used as a soundtrack lol. I enjoy early synthesizer music and this is a great album.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Tribe is exactly what I need for today. They've been a favorite of mine for a long time. Not a single bad album.

3/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

I love this album

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

Jethro Tull has been on my radar for a while but I never got around to listening to them. Great album.

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

3/5

I was sitting in the lobby of a car dealership while my car was getting an oil change, listening to this album on my earbuds. Suddenly the music stopped, but my bluetooth was still connected. I realized it auto connected to my car. So it's very likely the service person saw "Post Orgasmic Chill" on the screen of my car. Not a bad album.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse deserved better.

Heroes
