Gorillaz

3/5

Virtual band where the songs are better with the video. Midspeed extrication-pop that probably had more relevance and angst in early 2000s

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

Psychedelic Latin rock with amazing guitar, mostly instrumental. 1.5 songs made a playlist

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

British Styx. Blending to melodic rock with jazz, acoustic, funk … 1 song added to playlist.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

Country folk rock with a few songs I remember as my favorites of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. 1.5 songs made my playlist.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Listened to 2003 remastered edition. Electric glam rock giving off Bowie vibes. 1 song added to playlist.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Alternative rock. Best Black Keys album. Probably should be at least a 4, but not my genre, so downgraded to 3. 1 song to playlist for now. Will likely be one of the first bumped when listening to gets full.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

THE Smashing Pumpkins album, but too long. Listened to 2012 remastered with good sound. 93 songs almost 6 hours long. If I didn’t feel Mellon Collie before I did after. 2 songs made playlist, because love is a vampire.

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

4/5

First I’ve heard of this band. I liked the album a lot. Mostly upbeat and more 90s Britpop than alternative rock. Wonder why it didn’t catch on in US. 2 songs added to playlist. Only reason 4 instead of 5 for me is it isn’t a classic for me.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

I enjoyed, but not sure why this is a must listen too. Good reminder of the white stripes. Added a song to my playlist

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

Great upbeat funk album. I had heard many of the songs, but never listened to it as a whole. Reminds me of several iconic party songs. 2 songs added to playlist and there was only 7 songs.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

2/5

Hard to get into for me. Good music, but I didn’t understand most of the words. Nothing added to my playlist.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

2/5

No my thing, but catchy in a weird way. Very sleepy and depressing. Question why this is a must listen to album and so critically acclaimed. No songs added to playlist.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Classic artist and songwriter. Her voice, her lyrics, her harmonies and melodies - all beautiful. 1 song added to playlist.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Debbie Harry, the legend! Blondie is cited so often as an '80s staple that I didn't realize they began making music in the '70s. This sounds a lot more rock-oriented than I expected, it makes me wish we'd get some other, older Blondie records on the list. 2 songs ad d to playlist.

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

I enjoyed it. Don’t agree White Stripe deserves 2 albums in top 1000. I’d pick this one over Get behind me Satan. Probably suffered in rating by being second White Stripe album in 2 weeks. Added a song to my playlist.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

5/5

King Louie. Tell you man cub, irresistible and infectious swing. Learned about social significance, because showed up on my list. 3 songs added to playlist.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

2/5

Just ok. Our House, obviously a terrific song. The rest of it? What am I even listening to. 0 songs added to playlist

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

2/5

Nothing wrong with it but just meh. Very doesn’t belong on a must listen to list. 0 songs added to playlist

Black Sabbath

5/5

I’m a heavy metal and crooners fan. This album is first Black Sabbath and first heavy metal album. 3 of 5 songs added to playlist and album added to my library.

All Directions

The Temptations

5/5

Such a great album. Funky classic soul. 2 songs added to playlist
