Transformer by Lou Reed
Jan 12 2026

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

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 13 2026

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

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jan 14 2026
Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 15 2026

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 by Iggy Pop
Jan 16 2026

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 by Depeche Mode
Jan 17 2026

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

Pornography by The Cure
Jan 17 2026

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

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Jan 18 2026

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 by Fela Kuti
Jan 19 2026

Fun music despite serious subject matter.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jan 20 2026

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 by Bob Dylan
Jan 21 2026

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

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jan 24 2026

NOLA founder of rock and roll, as evidenced by these catchy tunes that make you want to dance.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 25 2026

Amy's debut

Risque by CHIC
Jan 26 2026

Third album after hitting with Le Freak from C'est Chic. Opening track Good Times was sampled for Rapper's Delight by Sugarhill Gang.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 27 2026

Maiden's debut with Eddie on the cover from Day One.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jan 28 2026

Debut album from Black Flag, the definitive punk sound from U.S.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 31 2026
Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Feb 01 2026
The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Feb 03 2026

Big NIN fan and love this one; own the remix Further, also love.

Sulk by The Associates
Feb 04 2026

Good example of 80s U.K. New Wave, with vocal style that can be quite annoying.

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 05 2026

Popular masterpiece, time machine for Boomers. As a GenXer who grew up in the 70s, it takes me back as well. Super songwriter, this is her best work.

Tical by Method Man
Feb 06 2026
1984 by Van Halen
Feb 07 2026

Last album with original members, including David Lee Roth, the best combo IMHO. Good times.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Feb 08 2026

Unoriginal, run of the mill, good for exercise I suppose.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 10 2026

Representing a huge leap in production for its time, this brilliant album was a major influence on progressive rock in the late sixties and seventies.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Feb 19 2026

Approaching his mid-20s, Bowie truly came of age with this album, announcing it on Changes. With Mick Ronson and Rick Wakeman in the studio, his sound developed its addictive familiarity.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 23 2026
Green by R.E.M.
Feb 28 2026
Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Mar 01 2026

Frank sounds bored and insincere. Shame because these are great songs from stage and screen.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Mar 08 2026
Kid A by Radiohead
Mar 21 2026

This is one of my favourite albums from one of my favourite bands. How to Disappear Completely is one of my favourite songs; it's also one of Thom Yorke's favourite. Masterpiece!

Tommy by The Who
Mar 25 2026
Guero by Beck
Mar 28 2026
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 05 2026
OK Computer by Radiohead
Apr 17 2026

Game-changer for the band and for progressive rock ahead of the 21st century. Masterpiece. Luckily, Radiohead was able to keep the genius going with subsequent works.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
