I did not hate this. Beats were good. I would have loved this in college.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

First song, enjoying more than I thought I would. First thought is that I regret not hearing this in middle school, I would have loved it. I like the guitar solos. I like the heaviness. Overall glad I listened!

NEU! 75

Neu!

5/5

Adele

2/5

Boring and dated. Enjoyed 2 songs. Not the hits so much. Overall did not age well to my ears.

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

Some really wonderful songs on this album. I will never get tired of Dancing Queen. ABBA is so important.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

So deliciously weird while still showcasing solid pop sensibilities. Very listenable for being so strange. I particularly enjoy the philosophical POV. In my personal top 50 for sure.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

I was in high school when this came out and I was not into it. This kind of pop rock was not something I was drawn to. I thought it was way too mainstream and uninteresting. However, I am at my core a poptimist who wants to enjoy things. I like fun! This is fun. “Somebody Told Me” is an outright banger. I’m hearing some Britpop influence which I appreciate. Overall decent but much more fun at the beginning than the end.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

5/5

Absolutely captivating. Gorgeous melodies and instrumentation. Played 3 times today. Strangely comforting. Iconic and singular voice. 5/5

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

One of the all time greats and a personal long time favorite

Talvin Singh

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

Pretty good

Sail Away

Randy Newman

4/5

Jarringly beautiful storytelling accompanied by deeply American satire

Dog Man Star

Suede

4/5

Hell yeah glam revival

Make Yourself

Incubus

1/5

Hate the vocals. Hate the sound. Love the song Drive; I don’t think it’s a particularly good song but it has something. Hate everything else about this. It was fun to roast with my partner, so we kept ourselves entertained.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

3/5

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Manassas

Stephen Stills

4/5

It’s so important to listen to this as 4 sides of a double album instead of the solid block that we get on a stream. These songs are beautifully written and performed and I really appreciate the journey between genres. Side 3 “Consider” is a stand out for me. Overall an important and underrated entry in the history of rock n roll.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Absolutely iconic album that without question deserves its acclaim and recognition on this list. If you don’t like this, I don’t trust you, period.

Snivilisation

Orbital

3/5

I wish I could go to a rave in the uk in the 90s

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

5/5

Big Star is so important, influential, and ahead of their time, and no one has heard of them. Meanwhile, my home turf dive bar is named after them (shout out Big Star Bar HTX), I’ve sang in a Big Star cover band, and even I have never given this album its due. The unfinished feeling is oddly compelling and there are some real gems here.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

Really beautiful, still sounds unique and fresh all these years later.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

2/5

Look, it’s not terrible, and the first couple of songs are good. But the longer it goes, the more bored I get. I liked this when it came out but I do not think it belongs on this list. There are better blues artists.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

Can you imagine being so simple minded you can’t enjoy jazz? A horrifying thought I had while reading these reviews. Anyway this is an absolute masterpiece.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

5/5

Distinctive, raw, exciting, a great listen, exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for on this list
