L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

An album that sounds like it has been written for the band itself, not for the listener - and that's the beauty of it.

Parklife

Blur

3/5

While I can see why it was a hit back in 1994, I have missed it then (..I was just 6 years old) - and today, in 2026, it is still good but not timeless classics type of good. 3 out of 5, just out of respect for the past and for Damon.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

Oooooooh, that's a no-brainer. One of my favorites, 5 out of 5 right away.

Violent Femmes

5/5

La la la la la la this makes me wanna get wasted and do some stupid shit 5 out of 5, yay

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Never been a fan of southern hip-hop. Yet, have to admit that So fresh so clean, Ms jackson, B.o.B. are absolute timeless bangers. 4 out of 5

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

It's clearly good, but for some reason I don't feel the soul behind it, only the brilliant commercial production. This is probably the reason of me forgetting this album has ever existed despite really liking it when it was released.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

same thing, different name. solid for its genre and time, but overall boring.

1977

Ash

3/5

nice pop rock but doesn't stick - played it twice, nodded my head and stomped my feet, but haven't anything to my library (though "Darkside Lightside" almost made it)

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Never quite listened to the RS beyond obvious works, and this album has shown me a whole new side of them. This is certainly worth listening to.

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

A Patient Zero in many ways.. Lovely!

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

This is solid!

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

My Generation

The Who

4/5

This is good!

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

Here's Five for ya Dave! Would've given 10 but unfortunately can't do that here.

Paris 1919

John Cale

3/5

Not much to really like there except the title song. 3/5

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

2/5

As a cultural phenomenon, an illustration of how traditional folk music is evolving, I see why this album has its place in this list. Yet, it's repetitive and of little to no value outside of its niche.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

3/5

One of solid examples of the 2000s acid jazz / trip hop scene, but in a way just one of many.

Smash

The Offspring

5/5

Phew, that's easy

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

This is clearly good, just not my cup of tea

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

3/5

Cosy and pleasant listening. Liked it.

Joan Baez

3/5

I can smell her hairy armpits from 2026. It does sound fascinating though, just not for me.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

phew, one of my all-time-favorites, I don't even have to listen to that one

In Utero

Nirvana

2/5

Haven't heard anything special on this one. Two days after can't even remember anything.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

5/5

one of my all-time favorites

Viva Hate

Morrissey

1/5

Boring AF, I couldn't even finish

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

2/5

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

got bored

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

First time I hear about this band, and this is good

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Kruder & Dorfmeister are better than Simon & Garfunkel, that's all I've got to say on this one.

Iron Maiden

3/5

I had fun!

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

The more you listen to it, the more it unfolds. A lovely work

Funeral

Arcade Fire

2/5

Didn't like it at all. Nearly puked at the Crown of Love - I guess this is how it sounds when someone's getting a shovel up their ass. There's a shitload of much better indie bands out there if someone's fancy.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

My yesterday's album was from Arcade Fire - so terrible I couldn't even finish it. When I got this today, I thought for a second "oh shit another indie cry baby jerking off". Thankfully, it isn't. Thank you Arctic Monkeys.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

I prefer Depeche Mode

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

it's all nice but nothing has really caught my ear

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

3/5

Well, it was certainly interesting. And I haven't heard about the guy earlier.

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

2/5

It sounds nice on the surface, but I have played it 4 times and hardly even noticed. No substance, nothing special, just quality mimicking.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

2/5

As boring as it gets

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

A nice and quirky little piece of rock (30 minutes.. let's call it a music pebble then). Not going to be one of my favorites, but certainly a good record for a day.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Phew, no brainer. One of the best hip-hop albums ever.

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Hell yeah!

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

3/5

It's ok though I'd rather go listen to Ninja Tune folks from that time.
