Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

2/5

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

5/5

This album makes me want to pray, and I’m agnostic. If that ain’t high regard, I don’t know what is.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

5/5

If you’ve loved any pop or R&B music made in the past 70-some years, you will find something you love here, I guarantee it.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Never surpasses the title track; but so does 99% of all things on this planet.

Metallica

2/5

The most uninteresting Metallica record. At least with Lulu, I can laugh at how absurdly misguided it is, and at minimum, St. Anger has a fun story as to why it’s so scuffed. This is just Metallica selling their souls, put to tape.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

All but 3 things in this life are uncertain: those being, death, taxes, and the mothafucking Wu-Tang.

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

3/5

If this was just 30-40 minutes, I’d love it. But it’s not, and so this is the highest I can give it.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

Not just the best Beatles album; the most career-representative Beatles album. Everything each Beatle did before and after this record is perfectly exhibited here.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

1/5

Ew.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

THE metal album.

Kimono My House

Sparks

5/5

Beginning to realize a lot of people on this site just hate fun.

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

5/5

Weird how the best musical depiction of pre-9/11, Giuliani and gentrification NYC, that isn’t Illmatic, is from an alt-rock album by a goddamned Brit.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

2/5

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

1/5

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring.

Sound Affects

The Jam

3/5

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

I feel like, if I was born in the 30’s, this album is what I’d be crying to, instead of being born in the 90’s and crying to Kid A.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

These dudes rock harder than like 80% of current western bands combined.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

The sorta neo-Krautrock songs on here are pretty good, and the more generic psych/indie pop songs just kinda fill space.

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

R.E.M. may be the most 4/5 band to ever exist. I’ve never been completely blown away by them, but I still always have a pretty good time nonetheless.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

Yes, this is absurdly misogynistic, and Snoop is a apparently a MAGA nutter now, and I’m not here to defend any of that. All I’m saying is that Doggystyle more than deserves it’s spot as a hip-hop classic.

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

3/5

Jazmine’s a great singer, and the record touches on some topics I think are definitely important, but I just think the production is unbearably boring, and it goes a little too far in it’s ambitions for it’s own good. Still had a good time though.

Arise

Sepultura

4/5

The origin of life for death metal, and still goes hard as all hell to this day.

Common

5/5

This would get a 4 for The Old Kanye producing the entire thing, if nothing else; thankfully, Common matches these beats perfectly. Then again, I never did too well in Math class, eh?

Forever Changes

Love

1/5

Putting my biases aside, it’s probably more of a 2, but I really want to just spite the bafflingly high amount of rock critics who think this isn’t just a boring, pretentious nothingburger of a record, so here goes.

The Stone Roses

5/5

What every indie rock band that came after this probably think they sound like. 90% of them are horribly mistaken.

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

2/5

The first of 6 Elvis Costello records this list is making me endure. I hope they aren’t all like this.

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

1/5

The poor man’s Peter Gabriel. Cliche at this point, but “Cars Are Cars” is possibly the worst written song made by a mainstream artist in the entire 20th century.
