Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

It's not Jimi's best, but it marked a shift to the even more psychedelic that is seen in Electric Ladyland.

Van Halen

5/5

A quintessential rock debut that is not only Van Halen's best, but one of the best of the era. No skips on this one!

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

Sprawling, big sounding, and a pleasant surprise from a band I only thought to be known as the "You Really Got Me band"

Black Sabbath

4/5

Genre defining! Made by people who didn't quite know where their sound was or heading!

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

It's fun (This album is what I presume it feels like to have a big beard)

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

The sound of California, a sound I feel that I've outgrown as I've gotten older

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

Funky, loose concept doesn't help or hurt my enjoyment, great driving album! Another great discovery!

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

Great live performance, high energy makes it a personal favorite

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

Lush sounding, an album that can be enjoyed at every mood, what a gem!

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Not my favorite Metallica album, nor do I think it's their best, but this album is more than just the album with their best song

Dry

PJ Harvey

2/5

Not my thing, the more I look into the album the more it became interesting, still don't understand the influence it has to be included in this list

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Great gem found this project, great to see 2010s inclusion

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Influential, wild, and worth digesting! Seriously there's a 15 minute song in here that might seem like it goes on forever but it's worth it!

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

2/5

First example of I see why it's seen as great, but folk rock isn't my much of my thing to rate as highly as others

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Easy to hear why this album was included, influential sound for so many acts to follow them

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

Fast, fun, great find from this journey!

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

I wish I could give a 2.5 star rating, it's just ok, little overrated to my ear but there is flashes of brilliance

Achtung Baby

3/5

This is the album with One on it, immediate 2 stars alone, the rest is hit or miss

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

2/5

Hard to rate, folk isn't my thing

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Yet another gem, a sound is from the 70s but before it's time

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Mick Jagger sings the blues, if the Stones went this direction after this then they might be worth exploring further

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Measuring stick album similar to Black Sabbath, not quite to the upper echelon for me to give a 5
