(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

4/5

peak britpop. wonderwall overrated and overplayed, champagne supernova a rightful classic

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

Not a 10/10 but it has some of the best individual bangers in the entire LCD Soundsystem discography

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

1984

Van Halen

3/5

not my favorite style of songwriting but the guitar playing is pretty undeniable

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

what do you even say about an album as singular and iconic as this one? even 50 years later, nothing else sounds like it.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

one of the all time jazz fusion albums. when 'in a silent way' hits 13 minutes, good god. i dont throw the word genius around lightly but miles was one of them

Adele

3/5

shes got a nice voice and the songwriting is competent but nothing really feels like, sticky, for me

The Specials

5/5

Really fun album, bridges the gap between old school ska and punk so well. You *Really* hear that Elvis Costello influence on some of these songs

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

perfect length for an album, basically the only song that isnt 100% a banger to me is 'welcome to the machine', just a perfect gorgeous album

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

1/5

not my favorite!

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

not my favorite michael jackson album but it contains a handful of the most undeniable pop bangers ever written

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

4/5

a great hip hop album! a little too long, i think dan the automator gets the pacing a little bit better on the deltron albums

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

4/5

really cool, early elements of trip hop in “I Am Stretched on Your Grave"; i think i actually prefer the Prince version of Nothing Compares 2 U

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

2/5

some very solid songwriting but absolutely not my thing

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

Django Django

2/5

Wish this were a bit more interesting! It has good tracks but doesn’t really feel “essential”

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

2/5

listenable but overlong and only really had one song that excited me

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Only contains a good handful of the most iconic songs ever written!

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

4/5

Went in with very minimal expectations and ended up very satisfied. Some excellent songwriting, folksy but with just a bit of edge

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

*the* bossa nova album. Easy listening, doesn’t feel groundbreaking but that’s with 60 years of musical tradition building upon it

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

not totally my "thing" but its pretty undeniable for what it is as a canonical entry in the goth rock canon

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Are you experienced has a couple of songs I probably wouldn’t go out of my way for but also has like 3 or 4 of the most iconic songs in the rock and roll canon

Sister

Sonic Youth

2/5

Sonic youth a real “not for me but I respect it” type band

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

2/5

Interesting album, not really connecting for me beyond being interesting and general competent but I do feel like it makes sense that this is on the list. Also regrettably too long

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

5/5

Not my favorite Kinks album but one that I do still think is all in all pretty delightful

All That You Can't Leave Behind

3/5

Enjoyed this a fair bit more than I thought I would. It’s not great but it’s god a few bangers for sure

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

1/5

reallllllly pushing it with this one

Don't Stand Me Down
