2/5

Feels like the universe is out to get me for me to draw this album right after I was thinking I can't really stand her voice...

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

Good vibes, like the sound - way too overstuffed

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

What I would give to be even 1/4 as cool as Bowie

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

2/5

Nothing makes me feel crazier than thinking Talking Heads are grating and overrated when most people think they're on par with The Beatles

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

Unparalleled songwriting, just gorgeous. And one of the best album covers of all time!

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

I think Trent Reznor is a fascinating person. His film scores are incredible. I just...can't do NIN

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

Underrated somehow - I think the hate comes from the reaction to latter day Coldplay. Clocks is an all timer, Amsterdam is stunning, the mood on this album is just next level

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

2/5

When you want to be in a rock band but not appear like you care about being in a rock band

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

I took this project on to find blind spots that could become favorites, and this was the first one that fell into this category. Incredible voice, flawless production

1999

Prince

4/5

I know this is blasphemous but...this is SO self indulgent. Having said that, great album to put on at a party I imagine.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

3/5

Pretty fun and honestly a breath of fresh air after some looooong overstuffed albums

Palo Congo

Sabu

3/5

Great party album, but not sure I'd listen to it outside of that

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

2/5

Guess you had to be there?

Copper Blue

Sugar

3/5

Love the wall of sound/power pop tone but the vocals became irritating

Fever Ray

2/5

Grating...not for me

Germs

4/5

I get why people did not vibe with this but damn...what a discovery for me. Bass tone in particular absolutely ripped and finding out it was a woman in punk playing this lines was awesome

The College Dropout

Kanye West

1/5

Not even gonna bother, screw this asshole

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

1/5

Didn't even make it through the first song

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

Nothing tops Take On Me, but fun synth pop

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

2/5

I get why it's held in high regard...absolutely not for me

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

3/5

Love the production, lyrics are kinda awful

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

At times a little challenging but would also just add things that floored me - flamenco guitar coming in out of nowhere? LFG

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

3/5

Fun pop album and a total time capsule that too many people think they're above

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Not my favorite of theirs but still absolutely rips

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

1/5

Like someone recorded some good/interesting music and then said "This is fine but what if we add in some fart sounding synth?"

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

1/5

Sometimes I wonder if whoever made this list just looked up albums thought were influential and didn't bother to see if they were actually any good

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

I can think of few albums that take me away like this one can. I bought this record a few years ago and was so thrilled to pull it out again. I get so lost in the deep sounds of this album I forget to turn the record over. Robert Smith is incredible!

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

A little repetitive, but some legit cool moments. Pretty perfect to listen to while working.

Basket of Light

Pentangle

3/5

AWESOME instrumentation. The vocals felt a little grating by the end. I could see myself returning to a few songs.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

Enjoyed for the first half and then I'm sorry but..Thom Yorke get very grating. Radiohead just isn't for me!

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

A lot of fun, love the Stones influence, and Bowie is just so damn cool

The Libertines

1/5

Made it through "Don't Be Shy" and had to tap out

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

Okay damn I was not ready for how good this was - this is why I'm doing this project!

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Tangled Up In Blue is an all-timer, but this one lost steam for me

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

Fine, I guess. Not sure why it's held in such esteem, but nothing bad.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

2/5

Truly my first disappointment - I lit up when I saw this after hearing so much about it, but I just can't do the whole "Bored indifferent Gen X'er" thing

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

If you hate this album, you hate fun. So many styles, all done well, incredible production. Probably my favorite of the project so far

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

Adding to the list of albums to return to later

Being There

Wilco

1/5

Got dumped by someone who was a Wilco fan and can't listen to Wilco for a bit, sorry
