Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

Eleven songs in 36 minutes, lots of short & sweet. Lou at his best.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Spectacular debut album with a wide variety of guest artists and samples. Kanye's talent as record producer shines.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Heroes is the 2nd album of David Bowie's Berlin trilogy, with Brian Eno and Robert Fripp in the studio. Lots of experimentation ahead of its time, as one would expect from these artists. The title track is a poignant love song about a couple separated by the Wall, recently featured in the finale of Stranger Things.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Iggy and Ziggy in a Berlin studio producing a variety of post-punk positivity. The title track will forever be associated with the film Trainspotting, which fittingly portrays heroin addition that plagued Pop before and after L4L.

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Depeche Mode's best and a time machine portal for every GenXer.

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

The birth of goth rock and Robert Smith's messy look.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

3/5

I've never heard this album and understand why it would be included list, unless its about the Sub Pop label or New England grunge. I didn't really enjoy much of it, despite its tight rhythm section.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Fun music despite serious subject matter.

Black Sabbath

5/5

I remember the first time I heard this album: I was very young and it scared the shit out of me. It was the beginning of heavy metal, which is named after the steel plants and industrial factories of Northern England, including Birmingham and Sheffield. I am a Sabbath fan and metal head, and this one's getting full marks from me.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

Grammy Award winning blues and rockabilly album, last one produced by Canadian Daniel Lanois.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Figure 8

Elliott Smith
