Definitely Maybe

Oasis

4/5

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

1999

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.
