It's a'ight

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

This indie classic has all the dance vibes of the early to mid, 2000s, well maintaining more refined and polished sound. This album is a'ight.

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

This is day 3 of this project for myself and this album is my favorite so far. I really enjoyed it immediately once I am hit with those incredible basslines which occur throughout the album. They are woven in so intricately and wonderfully and it gives a nice rhythm and pace to the entire album which is so much fun to listen to.This is the synth pop classic and yeah, I really enjoyed it

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

This is a top 10 jazz record for me. Brubeck's compositions are a masterpiece.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

This album rocks between psychedelic and metal in thrilling ways. Vibed with it

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

Day 6. My favorite jazz musician of all time. Doesn't get better than this. I've spun this record so many times and it hits every single time. Fantastic, experimental, and just wonderful listening. Fantastic album.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Vulnerable, heartfelt and extremely personal. This album is an interesting look into the artist's soul. This style of music isn't what I usually listen to, but I do vibe with this record

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

1/5

This album reminds me of my Tio's backyard. The parties my parents would dance all night to the music bumping loud on speakers. The DJ scratching at the ones and twos and every adult in my family awkwardly moving their bodies to the groove. Personallu, this album drips with nostalgia. This record was the background to me playing with my cousins running around causing trouble while my parents we're toopreoccupied to take notice. It reminds me of good times; however, I am a person who cannot separate art from its artist or I suppose I simply refuse to. And therefore, for that reason and the allegations, this alb I m a nothing for me.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

Can't stand the Smiths

Woodface

Crowded House

1/5

First album/artist I have never heard on this list and for the life of me I can't quite figure out its inclusion. This music is bland and sounds like many from thos era. Not sure why the editors of this list felt Woodface stood out. Not for me.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

Breath of fresh air amongst these past few days. Really dig this album.

Buffalo Springfield

2/5

This isn't my vibe. There are much better Neil Young songs. Just okay

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Fantastic Queen album. I am not exactly a huge fan of classic rock but this is something special. Every song is impactful and keeps the record progressing. Great stuff.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

1/5

When I was a teenager, everyone loved this album; was never my vibe. I never understood it. There are so many better albums from similar artists of the era. And I really don't understand why this album was picked over any of those in its genre.

Violent Femmes

4/5

This album is ahead of its time, birthing folk punk far before it became a genre. Always a classic in my mind. Happy for its inclusion on this list.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

1/5

Yeah, rough to get through. Not a fan

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Going into this, I thought I'd never heard Supergrass but knew what they would sound like, in part due to their name. However, when the album started, I was surprised by the sound. I was listening to an extremely kinetic indie rock band with fast guitars and energetic drums. Then Alright played and I realized I had heard thos song and band before but didn't realize it was them. This album is a fun listen and definitely through my assumptions out the window. Liked this a lot.

Being There

Wilco

1/5

I was bored. V bored

Back In Black

AC/DC

2/5

I've never listened to a full AC/DC album. This album had every single hit I've ever heard from them. For AC/DC or just classic rock fans this has to be your holy grail. It was coo. More tolerable than I expected

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

I have never heard of this album or any of the tracks on it. This is not the Beach Boys I knew. This is a reinvention and it works. This album is filled with social messages and it works.

Dear God is an incredible song. XTC is such an interesting band. I've listened to their 70s stuff prior and enjoyed it and was surprised to see how much they reinvented themselves in 7 year's. Great album from an underrated band.
