Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

3/5

The first half of the album is really strong, but then the style shifts and I'm not too keen on the latter half of the album. But "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is my favorite Elton John song, so bonus for that.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Pretty interesting, actually. I didn't listen to her when she was active, so this came as a bit of a surprise. I really like the 60s girl band vibe, and I think the rough edge she puts on it really makes this work.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

Classic Prince by The Funky One.

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Low-key album with a different vibe than other late 60s efforts. Feels a little bit like 1960s shoegaze.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

A classic of mid-80s rock, their best album

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Some classics here, more experimental tracks that don't always hit.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Good, early Boss.

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

Still their best album, I think. I'm sure I listened to it a hundred times when I was twenty.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

2/5

Not my cup of tea.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

2/5

Not my cup of tea.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

One of the best albums of the century.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Terrific Bob Marley

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

Not bad for what it is, but the Sweet Dreams track is so different that it makes it hard to assess the full album. Honestly, I'm starting to suspect that having a hit song on an album is what qualifies the album for this list...

Ananda Shankar

2/5

I don't think this aged very well.

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

The Kinks

4/5

A true classic, only surpassed by Lola.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

Really fun listening to Billy Joel from this era.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

2/5

I can appreciate that it exists, but it's not really my style of music.
