Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

8.5/10 Immediately clicked for me, Badlands is a very strong opener and Adam Raised a Cain keeps up the pace so well. Most of the songs including a guitar solo was an unexpected but great decision.

Who's Next

The Who

8/10

Horses

Patti Smith

4/5

8/10 I have to admit I probably missed a lot of details and I need another listen, but the songwriting is consistently great and I loved that opener a lot.

8/10

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

8.5/10 I really enjoyed the dark lyrics and how heavy the instrumentation feels. Pretty good vocals too.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

3/5

6/10 Definitely not for me but it doesn't overstay it's welcome at least

The Joshua Tree

4/5

8/10 Never listened to a U2 album before but I enjoyed this one a lot! Fav part was the instrumentation for sure.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

2/5

4/10 I did not enjoy this one for the most part, there were a few highlights such as Sonic Attack but the majority of songs just felt like listening to someone play guitar without any major differences, it was a bit too unfocused for me. Might change my mind on another listen.

Tom Tom Club

4/5

7.5/10 Fun album! would listen again

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

9.5/10 Excellent production, surprised that I haven't listened to this album before.

Damaged

Black Flag

4/5

8/10 Great punk record especially for a genre I dislike a lot, crazy that this is a debut album.

Bandwagonesque

Frank

Amy Winehouse

8/10 Amy's vocals are really amazing here. Definitely a strong debut.

Wild Gift

3/5

7/10 It's pretty alright, with some really good guitar moments.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

9/10

Celebrity Skin

Hole

4/5

8.5/10 Really good production and vocals all around, will definitely come back to it.

1989

Taylor Swift

2/5

4/10 I'm not even trying to be a hater but I genuinely don't think you need to hear this album before you die. There's nothing special about the production or the songwriting, and if we're gonna include an album on this list because it has a lot of bops this album doesn't even have enough of them.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

6.5/10 It's pretty alright, I didn't find anything remarkable about it but it's good for easy listening in the background.

Paul Simon

4/5

8/10 A solid folk album. First time I listen to Paul Simon, really enjoyed the variety in sounds used here.

Goo

Sonic Youth

4/5

8.5/10 I really liked how the album uses noise without ever feeling overwhelming, and the songwriting is amazing. I had a really good time listening to it.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

5/5

9/10 This album just sounds like what an 80s synth pop album should sound like, it's dancey and doesn't take itself too seriously. Marc's singing is so fun it makes me want to sing along 10 seconds into any song.

Van Halen

4/5

8/10 I normally don't listen to hard rock at all but this was a fun time. Favorite song is Jaime's Cryin'

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

8.5/10 An album made entirely from samples that still sounds this consistent is seriously impressive. I just wish it was a bit shorter.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

7/10 It's good folk music I guess, it's just that nothing here really stood out on a first listen.

Guero

Beck

4/5

8/10 Pretty fun album with a variety of sounds and samples. Favorite song is Hell Yes.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

7/10 A pretty fun pop punk album. I kinda wish they switched things up a bit, because even though the songs are short, they started getting a little samey. Still enjoyable regardless.

Django Django

4/5

8/10 Good album for easy listening. I give it 4 Djangos out of 5.

More Specials

The Specials

3/5

6/10 Maybe it's not for me but I didn't like it a lot. I just don't see this album doing anything interesting or new for an album released in 1980.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

7.5/10 I like the songwriting and his singing but it gets a bit boring after a while.

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

4/5

8.5/10 A pleasant surprise from this list, full of fun beats that pushed the boundaries of house music. I can feel RnB influences in some of the tracks.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

8.5/10 Very creative funk music with odd lyrics, awesome production.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

8/10 While most mainstream Hip-Hop isn't my thing, I really enjoyed this album. The production across these songs is so diverse and feels calm in a way that nicely contrasts with the rapping.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

8/10 Pretty good album! I don't have much to say other than that I'm looking forward to listening to more from this band.

Forever Changes

Love

4/5

8/10 Waiter! waiter! more folk rock please!!

Calenture

The Triffids

3/5

7/10 I think it's fine but nothing in it stands out to me.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

I'd rather not give this album a rating seeing that the most impressive aspects of it are technical. All I'm gonna say is that I really enjoy it. Blue Rondo and Take Five are really cool.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

7/10 I thought it was a bit boring at first but it sort of grew on me halfway through. I love this brand of Baroque Pop but the singing style was not doing it for me.

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

4/5

8/10 My first time listening to Emmylou Harris and I love it! Really reminds me of Dolly Parton. Maybe not a groundbreaking album but the vocals are amazing and the instruments were nice and kept it fresh.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

9/10 Goes hard

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

9/10 Feels experimental without being overwhelming. I love how this album has several different sounds while staying thematically consistent.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

8/10 I like this jazzier version of Joni Mitchell's music, and the songwriting is great as usual.
