Blue Lines

4/5

Nice album mixing hiphop and that chilled out grungy sound of the 90s. Uncertain if this is the album that kick started the triphop genre, but definitely still great after 30 years. Overall not as enjoyable as Mezzanine for me, but Five Man Army and Hymn of the Big Wheel stand out as phenomenal songs

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Stoking the flames of rebellion and injustice still 34+ years later. A pivotal album addressing the hypocrisy of modern society and government, it's upsetting that the themes of the album are still so relevant 3 decades later

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Still a gorgeously soulful singer even almost 60 years later. An uplifting album of humanity and relationships. Chain of Fools will go down as a forever classic

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

A very excellent rock album! I appreciate the fusion of traditional African music and western rock. Did not resonate with me fully on the first listen, likely due to all the songs being in the artists native language, but that is a me problem

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

Hey look it's pop-punk! American Idiot made a big impact on my high school life, but never actually listened to this album before. Good album and really resonates with those angsty/melancholic feelings without getting bogged down into depression. Not necessarily my style but a good listen nonetheless!

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

Impressive how full of a sound you can get with just 2 very talented musicians! A banger of an album, and Seven Nation Army will go down in history as a forever classic. Listened to this album quite a bit when it first came out, but not really something that is part of my regular listening anymore.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

3/5

Is rock n roll! Decent album, relatively heavy by the standards of the day when it released. Not going to be entering my regular listening, but any enjoyable experience nonetheless

m b v

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

Wasn't really into MBV or emo music when it came out and it seems my tastes have not changed. More ambient/shoegaze than I'd prefer

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Heck yeah that was a nice album

Joan Armatrading

5/5

Well slap me sideways this was an incredible album. Beautiful vocals. Simultaneously fun, soulful, emotional and gorgeous. Song structure kinda reminds me of Meatloaf. Had to listen to it again after finish it since it was so good!

1999

Prince

3/5

Objectively good but really wasn't to my tastes today. Full of that 80s flair and synth. Reminds me of Bowie although I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I probably just got triggered by that statement

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

2/5

Honestly it was a struggle for me to finish this one. Seems to me like music you listen to when you want to be an elitist and lord your superior intelligence over others who listen to that "formulaic pop music drivel". Math/prog rock. I see you but aint necessarily for me.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Great album! Thoroughly enjoy this. Nice fusion of African influence, blues, jazz and funk

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

Haha fun. Decent album. Great working tunes

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Very fun album! I enjoy the rich baritone of the vocals and the mix of energies from the various songs. Would listen to again.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

Excellent album, although not something I will regularly add to my listening rotation.

Boston

4/5

Foreplay/Long Time is a forever classic. I have nostalgic attachment to this album and still think it's a dang good piece of art.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Nice, I think overall I enjoy this album more than Elephant, but Elephant has Seven Nation Army...

Queens of the Stone Age

Queens Of The Stone Age

4/5

Very good album. Always was a QotSA fan but only listened to Songs for the Deaf for the most part. Would definitely add to the rotation!

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Nice folksie singer/songwriter stuff. Reminds me of Rodriguez (who of course came later but still...) Enjoyable but I like my music a little more energetic as a whole

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

2/5

I tried but couldn't muster up the desire to finish this album. It's... fine just not for me

Third

Soft Machine

1/5

I tried with this one but this is probably for musicians more knowledgeable than I to enjoy. It feels like a noise project with jam band and jazz influences. Couldn't make it past the first track, although I did listen to it's entirety

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

3/5

Kinda fun psychedelic journey. Enjoyable and might give it another listen in the future

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

Heck yeah. Black Magic Woman is a forever classic

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Great hip hop album. Can I Kick It is a classic

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

3/5

Seems kinda like proto-White Stripes. If Jack White wasnt influenced by this album I'd be surprised! Decent but not my cup of tea on average.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5
