Violent Femmes

5/5

Raw, fun, surprisingly sexy

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

Surprisingly traditional rock save for some fairly anodyne satanic lyrics. Fun but not for me.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5

I get how others can find this repellingly twee, but this is absolutely my thing.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

5/5

At turns soaring and searing. A mix of romance and protest, but not disjointed.

Iron Maiden

2/5

Feels more influential than essential. By chance I got this only days after The Number of The Beast, obviously the fuller version of this vision.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Timeless in the purest way possible.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

Some of the best pop rock songwriting ever.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Seminal, a little overstuffed.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

3/5

Just didn't really connect with it. Beautiful, though.

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

The conceit, an artsy electronic album almost completely composed of human voices, could be a gimmick in another artist's hands, but Bjork mostly makes it work. Still just kinda not my thing.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

The high points are obvious and undeniable, but it's sprawling, two hours long, and has some real emotional insights like "love is suicide." Didn't finish.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

I think Coldplay's reputation is a little unfair. Here you can definitely see their ability to tap into emotion, both quiet and soaring.

Queen II

Queen

5/5

It's fun listening to this and noting the connections to bands like Iron Maiden I've listened to in past 1001 days. Great album.
