Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

I have listened to this a few times now in my life, and just recently saw GZA. I think the legacy and influence this album has cannot be denied, but it just has never done it for me like other 90's rap albums have like projects by A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul. I guess this speaks to my desire to have jazzier beats with more samples, as opposed to the rough and stripped down production style Wu-Tang uses.

Adele

4/5

I will be honest I didn't listen to it, which I know defeats the purpose of this project, but I know it well enough, and know the vibe and the singles and have spent time loving Adele, but yesterday I just didn't want to listen to a full album of piano ballads... Still 4 stars for longevity sake.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

I appreciated the history of this album for a while, but had never sat down to listen. It still holds it's power for sure!

Iron Maiden

4/5

I enjoyed it for sure, classic metal album that I know was super influential.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

I can hear the influences the Smiths had on so many bands I love the more I listen to this record.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

5/5

I had never heard this album! I liked it, clearly a very influential album!

Arise

Sepultura

4/5

I had never heard this album! Pretty solid, classic metal!

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

4/5

I was hoping it was going to be a little more... emo? I had never heard of this album and it seemed like something that a lot of what I like to listen to would be based off but it was a little too grandiose in a way... But still good!

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Not my favorite Bowie, but pretty good.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Honestly, the memes about Eddie Vedder are funny, but grunge is such an underrated genre of music and this album for sure is the foundation for everything that sounds like it. So many singles on this album I forgot about.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

I have always liked Nick Cave, but I have never listened to this album. It was good, but I think my nostalgia for some of this other stuff kept me from really loving this one.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

5/5

Ultimate emo grandpa, love it.

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

4/5

Interesting, and I can definitely see the influences this album had!

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

5/5

I think I might get Elvis now...

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

Really liked this, I forgot that they started trip hop!

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

Truly, I have never gotten into Radiohead and this was not in my top three of what I have listened to by them.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

Loved it, and loved hearing something that was clearly so influential on the world and something I have never heard before!

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Another solid Bowie album. I really don't know his discography that well well so being forced to listen to two of his albums in the past few weeks has been nice.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Didn't need to listen, album of my childhood. A true classic.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Another one I didn't feel like I needed to listen to because it was such a part of my adolescence. Unbelievable album.

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

It felt good to go back and relisten to this classic. The foundation of so much rap that I love.

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

3/5

I know this type of rock was influential, but I prefer what is out now than this to be honest.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

I really didn't grow up on Gaye like I should have, so any excuse to take a break from my modern listening to go back to him is welcomed.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

Easily one of the best albums of all time, album of my adolescence and album of the 2000's maybe. I didn't relisten like I should have, but I will. I just want to have the right setting. Maybe the next time I take a drive up to Santa Fe by myself I'll throw it on.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

I have tried multiple times to get into Run-D.M.C. and still haven't been successful, but you cannot deny their legacy.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

I don't think you can call it a come back.. but the ability to have a song go so viral years after it's release cannot be understated. I enjoyed the listen to this album, but it remains not really my thing........

Blood, Sweat & Tears

4/5

More jazzy than I thought it would be...

Leftism

Leftfield

5/5

I had never heard of Leftfield, great electronic album! I can't believe it is from the 90's tbh.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

5/5

Glad to listen to more by Masekela, I loved that Earl sample and I have been searching for more Hugh Masekela since.

Led Zeppelin IV
