Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust has consistently been one of my most favorite albums of all time, so relistening to it is always a treat. It's so good from front to back, no skips all hits. You'd be hard pressed to find a better album then this.

Note: it's more then likely a 4.5 but my personal connections bump it up since you can't have .5's
Appetite For Destruction is an album that leaves an impact. It hits hard and goes fast. All the songs are absolute bangers and it has copious amounts of hits. Listen to this album numerous times over the past 5 years and it still hasn't grown stale.

A very interesting and pleasant listening experience. Never listened to this kind of music before so it was good to get out of my comfort zone.

Maybe, it's a very nice listen with a very interesting story but I wouldn't call it mandatory, would recommend if you like the style though.
I haven't listened to much electronic music before besides a few stuff by Aphex Twin so being able to listen to new albums in the genre is exciting, and I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Very different from the kind of electronic music you here in the club but this is more my cup of tea. Really fun to listen to while doing stuff.

An early punk record that really encapsulates the feel and energy the genre is now for. Such a fun listen, short and sweet - well maybe not so sweet; that's not very punk.

Yes, while it's not London Calling, that don't make it any less influential. If you want an engaging punk album, this is it
Such a funky album which makes sense considering it's by THE Funkadelic. So groovy to listen to and filled with such intracasies, a real vibe overall.

Listening to American Idiot again made me realize that I somehow after all this time have not gotten to hear Dookie, so seeing this was a pleasant surprise. The album was really good, a more standard approach to Green Day, but that does not make it any less good. It's like the "Who's Next" to American Idiot's "Tommy" or "Quadrophenia". A thrilling pop-punk record filled with bangers.

A few years back, I started finally listening to The Rolling Stones' discography and it has been a very enjoyable experience. And something that I could always say for certain is that Exile has been my definitive favorite Stones' records and one of my favorites of ALL TIME.

Grace is such a hauntingly beautiful album that has always deeply spoke to me throughout the years. Even though it's the first (and only) album by Jeff Buckley, that does not mean it lacks in quality anywhere, pure sonic bliss from start to finish. Plus, it's fun that I share a name with this album :).

After many years of listening to this record and it's songs, Are You Experienced has still not lost it's mystical charm. A 'Fire' record from start to finish, that has remained one of my all time favorites.

Yes Yes YES, a truly groundbreaking record from the 60's, Hendrix's guitar skills shine through each track, proving why he's the true guitar virtuoso. Please listen to this record if you haven't, it won't disappoint.
A very interesting listen, one I was not expecting. I had never heard of Tricky, though I had heard of Massive Attack (and turns out I had heard some of Hell Is Round The Corner before), so this was new territory for me but I found it quite good. The atmosphere was so cool and so different compared to most hip hop records I've listened to before. I love the dark vibe to it.

Is it Top 1001 Worthy (is it essential)?
I'd say so yes, a very different hip hop experience compared to the norm and I can feel it's influence on other artists at the time ala David Bowie. Good album.
I recently feel that maybe I'm being too generous with my 5's, but I know it's cause the site keeps giving me some of my favorite and greatest albums of all time; OK Computer is one of those. Such a brilliant album with hauntingly beautiful songs that's been a favorite of mine for many years. Though it's been praised to death, that doesn't diminish it's value or quality, it truly deserves the praise it gets.

Yes-ish. Very influential, yet compared to contemporaries at the time, it shows it's age. Better to just listen to the first track, gives you the same idea in a fraction of the time. Also, the artist (now dead) has a nasty legacy.
An interesting listen, different to what I thought when I saw this record. Cool bass and I liked when Sinead O'Connor appear, that was a pleasant surprise. A decent album in the "world" genre (whatever that means)

I've always been meaning to give Tom Petty's albums a listen as I really like the songs I've heard from him and the Heartbreakers; so this finally gave me my chance. And I must say, it was a really fun listen. Full of cool guitars with that classic bluesy rock vibe. A good time overall.
