Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Cool album lots of interesting concepts. It’s hard to top immigrant song at the start of the album. However, even though the first song was the best there weren’t any songs I disliked on the album.

Dire Straits

3/5

Cool instrumentals but overall mediocre

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Classic album. Various different styles all executed excellently. There were some songs that I wouldn’t listen to again so I’d probably give it a 9 or 4.5 but I’m rounding up to 5 because it’s definitely better than zeppelin 3

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

This is like a mix of an adult swim intro and the beastie boys except instead of rapping they’re repeating the same thing for 6 minutes straight until it gets to the next song. Praise you was the only song I might consider listening to again.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

Not my favorite pixies album. I feel like they are at their best when they aren’t doing super heavy songs. This album had a lot of those heavier songs which I think takes away from the overall quality. Gigantic and where is my mind are classics though

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Dont love country but this was good hungover music for a Saturday

Dare!

The Human League

3/5

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

Straight classic bangers. Helped me channel my inner finance major during my first day working at a bank

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

I like talking heads but not their best work in my opinion

Infected

The The

3/5

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

Theater kid anthems in this. Undeniably some bangers though

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Pretty standard pop punk for the most part. Most of the songs sort of sound like the jets. We’re going to be friends is the obvious hit on this album but overall not a bad album.

Pump

Aerosmith

4/5

Just an alright album other than Janie’s got a gun

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

2/5

Just sad slop. Generic and inoffensive

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

Sort of cool at times it felt too experimental. Not that that’s a problem it just isn’t something I’d listen to again. Personal Jesus is a banger though

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

2/5

War

4/5

Sunday Bloody Sunday is such a banger. The rest of the album is go but forgettable

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Sunday Bloody Sunday is such a banger. The rest of the album is go but forgettable

Hysteria

Def Leppard

4/5

Another pretty standard rock album with one breakout hit. Nothing bad about it but nothing incredible either.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Probably the most cohesive album I’ve ever listened to. Every song flows perfectly into the next track. And the underlying tone is consistent throughout the whole album.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

So goofy but so funky. Bootsy kills that shit on bass as always. Definitely on the funk my Rushmore next to James brown and Stevie wonder.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

2/5

It felt like they were just trying to find their sound which is fine but it just sounds like a worse version of the beetles in this album.

The Stooges

3/5

Pretty heavy for the late 60s. Cool but not cool enough to add to my playlist

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

You can say a lot of things about cold play but you can’t say Chris Martin doesn’t have a great voice. This albums just pretty solid 2 major hits and there wasn’t an unpleasant song on the album. Nothing too spectacular or innovative but still an excellent album.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

One World

John Martyn

3/5

All That You Can't Leave Behind

4/5

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Unironically the first album I had to skip songs in. Just incoherent rambling over repetitive guitar grooves. This is what I’d expect Charles Manson to play to brainwash people.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

3/5

Some really cool beats especially for so early in the 90s.

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

3/5

Very tasteful for a punk rock album. I really enjoyed sea sick yet still docked.
