Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Nice pop/folk album, played very well by an excellent backing band, and sang quite beautifully. This list has lots of albums featuring female singers that do ballads with a guitar, this album is better than all of those.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

5/5

An hard rock powerhouse of an album, genre defying and still an hell of a listen.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

The Band

3/5

An ok bluesy rock folk pop album of the period, nothing groundbreaking but a nice listen.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

A very solid album from a soul funky master, the keyboard arrangements elevates even the more meandering songs, an enjoyable listen with some highlights, including an obvious one.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

An ok album, if you're into sad folk ballads.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

5/5

Not my favourite Genesis album, but it's still a great progressive rock landmark that it's worth listening even today.

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

4/5

Quite good easy listening album, the swing and early jazz influences surprised me, this being an album made in the 80s. Sure it has a couple of cheesy 80s rap/italo disco drivel songs, but if you delete/skip them, this is actually one of the finest elevator music albums ever made, and I mean that as a compliment.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

5/5

One of the seminal jazz recordings you must listen to. The Duke shows to the crowd attending this concert what classic Jazz at his peak sounded like, a true masterpiece.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

4/5

Good neo ambient album, if a bit dated. Geogaddi aged more gracefully and is the better album.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Just listen to all their discography. It's worth it, and this album is no exception

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

Surprisingly good jazzy/pop/easy rock album, the band is on fire and the tracks are all very polished, catchy and well written. You must hate pop with a passion to dislike this one.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

2/5

It would be a fine pop rock album, but the way she sings makes it almost unbearable.

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

2/5

I understand the historical importance of this album for the hip-hop movement, but it's just a bunch of people rapping over samples taken from Kraftwerk. Just listen to the seminal electronic albums made by that german group, instead.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

1/5

Sounds like a sountrack for a soap opera, probably one of the most boring, generic and uninspired albums ever made.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

A classic

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

2/5

Average post punk album with a very tedious singer

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Not the best Nirvana album, but surely a well deserved commercial hit, and a good grunge album anyway.

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

3/5

Interesting classical indian music, a bit of a specialized item anyway, as you have to be quite acquainted with microtones and drones.

Rio

Duran Duran

5/5

One of the pinnacles of pop music, and the 80s sound at its best, people used to test stereo systems with this album.
