Pet Sounds

after reading about what Brian Wilson was going through in his marriage and mental health at the time, this album is a bit darker than it sounds. still vibin tho

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

2/5

'sunshine superman' is great, but holy shit Donovan cool it with the fuckin sitar. I get it, you went to India and had a whole 'spiritual enlightenment' and you're friends with the fuckin Beatles and Bob goddamn Dylan. shut up

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

man's got a VOICE

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

2/5

A blend of irish folk, minstrel music, and another 60s bands that discovered the sitar and really shouldn't have. That said, there was a lot of variety here and the album certainly wasn't boring. Would I listen to it again? Probably not. Will I remember it? For the rest of my goddamn life.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

3/5

I feel like I should have enjoyed this more than I did. A few standouts, but nothing really pulled me in. Felt like it was missing something.

Joan Armatrading

3/5

I wanted to like this more than I did, but most of the music was pretty forgettable. Love and Affection was nice

2/5

out of all of lana's albums, why THIS one? It's such a nothing album.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

1/5

Not for me. 70s version of "look how edgy I am" ('Bodies' is just stupid). I get the cultural context, sure, that doesn't mean it's good in 2026.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

I enjoyed this more than most of the britpop on this list, but it did fall flat for the second half of the album.

Good, because it's Bowie, but... kind of lackluster? I think I'm definitely more of a Ziggy Stardust era fan.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Had never heard of him before, but wow what beautiful soul/blues. Heard echoes of bill withers in there, incredible percussion. Truly a great album

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

"It's Tricky" and "Walk This Way" are certified bangers, but listening to the entire album was kind of exhausting.

Tago Mago

Can

3/5

First half: oh nice, some funk and jazz and rock going on, cool experimental beats Second half: where am I. what's happening. the Void has taken me

The xx

3/5

I really wanted this to be better than it was. Intro is obviously a banger, but the rest seemed to be missing something. I'm not knowledgeable enough in music theory to know what was missing, only that it felt like a soup without salt.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

5/5

That was so much fun

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

3/5

Good, but that's a lot of synth pop. 'Romance Revisited' at the end of the remastered version was a refreshing touch.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

3/5

very one-note, but god what a voice. wouldn't listen to this one again but would listen to her all day
