Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones · 1 likes

5/5

It's true, you can't always get what you want. Except when it's a timeless classic rock album, because Let It Bleed is exactly that.

Prince

4/5

Not Purple Rain, but still one of his best

Odessa

Bee Gees

3/5

Decent, but I prefer their disco tunes

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

2/5

Not my style

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

Really not a fan

Play

Moby

4/5

Better than expected

Electric

The Cult

2/5

It was fine, but a bit too derivative imo

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

I’m more partial to The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, but Highway 61 Revisited is a great album in its own right

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Is it Rumours or Fleetwood Mac's self-titled album? No, but Tusk is still a solid departure from those sounds.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Really good '90s West Coast hip hop!

Gorillaz

3/5

Needed more songs like Clint Eastwood, Rock the House, and 19-2000

Roots

Sepultura

3/5

I wasn't feeling this album at first, but it started to grow on me after the first couple of songs.

The Stone Roses

3/5

They're all right - I think I prefer the instrumentals over the vocals though. I can also hear Stone Roses's influence on bands that came after them, like Kaiser Chiefs (and maybe even Oasis).

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Not a bad blues rock album

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

Groovy psychedelic soul

Blunderbuss

Jack White

4/5

Sixteen Saltines

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

My favorite Smashing Pumpkins album

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

4/5

This isn't something I would have thought to listen to on my own, but I'm glad I did. I enjoyed it!

Suede

3/5

Like the Cure, but just not as good. Doesn't give me the same hit of sadness and despair.

Garbage

4/5

This album has aged well. Shirley Manson is at her best here, and you can't deny that "Only Happy When It Rains" is a classic.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

This is another album that I wouldn't have thought to listen to on my own, but I ended up loving it! It was the perfect rainy day album. I'm going to add it to my regular rotation.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

I mean, it's good, but I'm not so sure it deserves a spot on this list.

Live Through This

Hole

2/5

Celebrity Skin is way better, in my opinion. I know this is Hole's breakthrough album, but I'm not sure why this is the one they're known for; that being said, Dollparts is a decent song.

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

3/5

"Sea Song" was definitely inspired by "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." The entire album sounds like it was written during an acid trip, but in a way that makes it kind of charming. I hope Robert's hedgehog friend is okay after bursting the tyres all day.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Darkness, imprisoning me

Closer

Joy Division

3/5

While I appreciate Joy Division and their musical impact (they've influenced some of my favorite artists, like Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins), this album just wasn't hitting for me.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

Classic album. Sounds much better in mono.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

4/5

George Michael is one of those rare cases where the artist's solo music is better than the music they created when they were part of a group (and I say this as someone who enjoys the occasional Wham! song). I'm a fan of this album.

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

3/5

A chill album, perfect for a Sunday, but not something I'd listen to regularly.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

I always forget how good this is, especially for a live album.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Another chill album, though I'll have to listen to more of his stuff to really understand the hype.

Le Tigre

3/5

They're angry about something, but I like it.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

There are some great tunes on Led Zeppelin's sophomore album.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

I don't usually enjoy live albums, but this one possessed a kind of energy that's extremely difficult to capture. It was like I was at the Harlem Square Club hearing Sam Cooke sing in person, instead of listening to a recording of a live performance from 63 years ago.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Dark, adventurous, and experimental, Music for the Masses is a defining electronic pop album, and I can see why it brought Depeche Mode so much success.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

It's true, you can't always get what you want. Except when it's a timeless classic rock album, because Let It Bleed is exactly that.

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Eh, it's okay.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

2/5

"The Weight" is decent, but The Band doesn't really speak to me.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

4/5

Really solid album, a bunch of bangers on this one

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Joni Mitchell is like Bob Dylan, except she can sing. That isn't an original take in the slightest, but it's true. And I say that as a Bob Dylan fan.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

2/5

His music is fine, but it leans too much on the boring side for me.

Dire Straits

3/5

I like the guitar, and "Sultans of Swing" is a classic, but otherwise I wasn't a huge fan.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

2/5

I don't know what this is, but it isn't very good.

The Clash

4/5

I’m personally more of a London Calling fan, but this album is pretty good too.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Perfect album, no notes.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

3/5

Wir fahr'n, fahr'n, fahr'n auf der Autobahn This song takes up more than half of the album's runtime, but that's okay, because it's the only track the album needed in the first place.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

The album kicks off with grungier Hole vibes, but once it gets to "G-Song," it shifts to a sound that I can only describe as a mix of The Rolling Stones and a bunch of English rock bands from the early 2000's (though I suppose the latter were likely inspired by Supergrass).

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

2/5

Maybe it's just me, but all of the songs kinda sound the same.

California

American Music Club

2/5

This album must be pretty obscure, because I had to find it on YouTube to be able to listen to it. I'm not sure what to make of it. It's okay, not really my cup of tea to be honest.
