Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

3 for me is middle of the road. I do like that it was all improve. lot's of fast paced movements and showing off his skills. Really helped as background music while play a board game with family.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

1/5

Didn't love the style. or the Voice. seemed lazy. I know lots of people that love Bob Dylan. But I am not one of them.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

... Hell yea.

Violent Femmes

1/5

Woof, So this is where the Whiny Emo bands got everything from. The lyrics from Add it Up? MAAAAYYY be a bit problematic... I used to think I was the kind of person that would listen to all types of music. This process has shown me that I absolutely do not listen to all types of music.

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

3/5

Very interesting, felt like i was playing GTA or watching an early 2000's movie. Not exactly my jam, but not terrible.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

Groovy man

Dust

Screaming Trees

4/5

Needed that album. It was a fun listen. I do wish the rating system was out of 10 and not out of five. but what are ya gonna do. Just a nice rock album that I haven't listened to before. None of the songs stood out. Just the general vibe.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

2/5

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

I actually really liked this album. I liked when it brought in the Orchestra. It's not the preferred album to listen to when going through a breakup... just saying. there's definitely some feels.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

3/5

Very ‘90s. Very angsty.

Palo Congo

Sabu

4/5

CONGAS?? HELL YEA. BANANA BREAD AT WORK?? HELL. YEAH. Such a fun listen. Reading through other comments It was funny about how divisive this album is. Maybe it's because I took percussion in high school. But man, those rhythms fucked me up in the best way possible. I would give it a 5/5. but I'm saving that for really special albums.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

SUMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTIIIME. Cool album, not my fave nothing stuck out. But I was also working.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

Some problematic lyrics again. But an alright album overall. Some good, some bad. Probably won’t listen to again. Skipped the last few songs honestly to get back to my heavy WUBZ. 😂

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

4/5

Hard metal? Ska? Who knows what it is. But I'm vibin'. I loved the first track and was expecting a more grungy metal album. But then it went ska and all over the place. Fun album. 3.5 stars. rounded up to 4.

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

3/5

Do I get it? Yea. Do I understand it? Maybe.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

2/5

Do I actually like music? Or am I just a basic bitch that likes Taylor Swift, Melodic Dubstep, and.... and country? I knew there would be some albums I didn't fully enjoy. But this album made me rethink my whole life... Didn't even listen to the whole thing. I'm gonna go listen to some 2010's pop classics.

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

So, I liked the first song Blackstar, but the rest was kinda blah for me. This was made in 2016 and I don't know why it made the 1001 most influential albums? I feel like whoever compiled this list was a contrarian. Or maybe I've just been in my own echochamber of pop, rock, and dubstep. .... ah, I see that he died two days after the album released. Which shouldn't bump it up in the ratings right? But that's maybe what happened. 4/10

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

Loved it, listened to it twice. I want to give it 5/5. but I just can't.

The Score

Fugees

3/5

I didn't listen to the whole album. But I know Killing me softly with his song. So that was fun.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

3/5

Chill, cool

White Ladder

David Gray

3/5

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Very angsty, really fun. I don't know if I can listen to a full album of the Offspring. just a song or two. But it was fun to see a secret track at the end!

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

5/5

That was a BLAST. Exactly what I wanted from this list. It gave me good vibes like Styx, Boston, the classics. Really cool rhythms beats and just a vibe in general. I'll give this one a five star.

Third

Soft Machine

3/5

Ummm... Ok. Feels like you had to be there. It's got some good beats and some good moments. It's just so fucking long that I don't think that any of the songs will be in the rotation at any point.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

2/5

I could see how this could be transformative and a necessary album if this was made in the 80's or 90's. But 2014?? This must just be the authors bias of the music tastes he likes. I swear, if we don't get one Taylor Swift album, I'm rioting.

The Cars

2/5

Jumped around and listened to 20 seconds of each song. Not my vibe. I did recognize Just what I needed.

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

2/5

Nope, a couple of goodish songs. But I can't take the voice of someone who sings like they don't care. Couldn't listen to the whole album.

Adele

4/5

Man... All I ask is a gut puncher. A great album overall. Listening to it while going through a weird breakup is... so fun. It's interesting that Send my Love is as popular as it is. Her voice is generational.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

Just a very middle of the road rock record. I thought that it was made earlier than the 2000's. But I was wrong there.

The Stooges

2/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

A nice Jazz album.

Green

R.E.M.

2/5

It might be because I'm half listening during work. But I haven't been jamming with the last couple albums. and looking at the future albums.. I might not enjoy them either.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

2/5

Feel like this would be something that would be on the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy. But just not my jam. would do a 2.5.

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

3/5

Nice

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

2/5

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

2/5
