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
