Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5

An all time great album and an excellent one to start this project with. Such intricate songs. Really hope I get to see this stage production someday.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

Not really my thing but can’t deny the musicianship and intricacies to this album. Doubt I’ll ever go back to it but that’s just due to tastes and preferences.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Again not typically my thing but unlike the Zappa one I’d pop this on again maybe. Some all time classic songs on this one too. Iron Maiden’s songs are a bit more musically interesting than I remembered.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Some all time classic songs. Album overall is a bit bloated though. Plus Anthony Kiedis is a real gross dude and by far my least favorite part of this band. Could’ve been a 5 star otherwise.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

Love Prince but not my favorite album of his and never fully understood why it’s so highly rated

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Wonderfully repetitive and lots of lyrics about shaking

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

4/5

Half amazing songs and half duds. The amazing songs win out though.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

This is dope AF. Wildly more talented than I ever realized.

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Masterpiece. I’ve listened to this album probably 1000+ times in my life since I was a baby. Love it.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

Never heard of this one before. Really really liked it.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

2/5

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

3/5

Some great stuff. Some boring stuff. Clapton is of course guitar Jesus so all of that sounds good. But sometimes it’s the only interesting part of a song.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

Never knew I’d like stuff like this.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Weird in a great way. Seems like this would’ve influenced a lot of modern music I like.

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

1/5

I am entirely not a fan of post 9/11 country and this album was way back in 1988. But this album plays like modern country with pandering lyrics and some fairly uninteresting musicality. Won’t catch me singing Dixie. Not for me.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

1/5

I couldn’t finish this. Kind of embarrassed to say since I know this is supposed to be good stuff

Stankonia

OutKast

5/5

Just an all time classic. Peak southern rapping from Big Boi. Andre at the top of all of his powers. Would give more stars if I could.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

2/5

Pretty but forgettable

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Always liked The Offspring but never loved them. Solid album. Some iconic early pop punk songs

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

4/5

This was dope. Been meaning to check this one out.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Icon. Queen. Love it but a little slow at times.

The xx

5/5

Hell of a debut and nostalgic as can be.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

2/5

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

The great songs pop out against a solid but repetitive rest of the album

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

Not a lover of REM. But definitely like this one the best. Lots of arpeggios. They must dig those. I think I now see that’s the connection from them to Radiohead.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

4/5

Never heard this before and I really liked it

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

2/5

It was fine I guess. Minus 1 for Elvis being a creep

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

I’m starting to like jazz. But I don’t know what makes it good or not yet. I like this album pretty well but it’s a long listen.
