Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

Could see this album being used for a skate video for sure. Not terrible but not really my theme for the majority of the album. Did end up adding one song from the album “Where is my mind”. 2.5/5

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Back when Kanye made sense. Also didn’t realize how many samples of this album were used in other songs, ie workout plan for one of J Cole’s songs. The skits were also hilarious, get your degree!

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

Beautifully done.

Achtung Baby

1/5

Sounded like a bunch of sound bites throw together to make the songs. There didn’t feel like any cohesion throughout. I know U2 has some good songs, but there wasn’t any on this one. Happy that one is behind me.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Really makes me wish roller rinks were still a thing. I could see the boys courting the lasses with a nice choreographed roller dance. Incredibly catchy. King of pop for a reason; band is also nailing every track.

Garbage

2/5

Garbage

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

Horns were well done, not my vibe really but wasn’t terrible.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

3/5

Some decent bars on here.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Spoken songs are not really my jam. Also underwhelming instrumental. Don’t ever see myself reaching for anything by this artist honestly. At least not until the first million in the bank.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it.

Pretenders

2/5

Nothing special

Chris

Christine and the Queens

3/5

Honestly, I thought there was no way I was going to like this… and while maybe I didn’t think it was top tier it was still impressive that they released the songs in French and in English. Her voice was enjoyable in both. Some of the beats were catchy and unique. Granted it is pop. I would lean more to a 3.5.

System Of A Down

3/5

At certain points I was hearing Gord Downie… crazy

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

When you think of the 80s these guys are definitely it. Something about his voice with progression of the instruments.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Trailblazer for so many, and honestly hard not to enjoy.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

Place and time for everything. This was enjoyable but it also felt like something I would put on and clean the house to.

#1 Record

Big Star

3/5

Cool to find out who did That 70s Show intro song. Easy listening.

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

2/5

Not really what I was hoping for.

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

1/5

Got to the third song and couldn’t do it. Sounded to much like alarm songs the way they would repeat over and over.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

Not bad

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

2/5

Hard to get into honestly. Found myself distracted every song and not enjoying much of it.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

1/5

Os Mutantes

1/5

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

5/5

So happy to see her on this list. Great word rhyming patterns, and she is able to sing more about complex things instead of a “cheating man” concept that most female country singers bring. Lyrically has been one of my favorite country singers and always enjoy her stuff.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Upbeat and easy to nod along to.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Out of sight

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

4/5

Actually a vibe. Love how each guitar player brings their own blues vibe.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

Rambling song written isn’t really my thing. Nothing grand to take away from the album.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Big hitter revved up for the drive home.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Thanks for bringing us some iconic songs and artists

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

5/5

This is what I hoped for from doing this. Finding new artists that slap. Never heard of these guys until now. Must of added 4 songs to my liked. Great flow, always refreshing to have rappers not using fill curse words too. Definitely a fan of these guys now!

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

2/5

Not sure what it is, just never could enjoy these guys. Something to do with the track and artists volume level maybe. Also the main rapper sounds almost yelling like.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

2/5

Interesting vibe, I like the horns. Makes everything very uppity. Wouldn’t listen again but not terrible.

Rage Against The Machine

3/5

Great bass, guitar rifts, and drums. Not the biggest fan of the vocals, but no terrible.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

Listened late, didn’t get through whole album but would most likely jam again.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

1/5

Caught me on the wrong day

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

2/5

Would stop and listen if they were playing at a market.

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

Great and easy listening

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

2/5

Good old swing music. Wonder if he’s Corey in the House’s grandfather, damn they look similar.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Never really had much of the stones on my phone. Album was catchy but no must haves for me.

Infected

The The

1/5

Nothing to grab ya

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

3/5

Gangsta rap has a place, but it needs to be a sweet spot when to play it.

Atomizer

Big Black

1/5

Uhh….

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

Didn’t feel cohesive.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Almost sounds like a love child of the Doors and Arctic Monkeys. Enjoyed the sound.

Bad

Michael Jackson

5/5

The king returns for a second album.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

1/5

Nothing to write about

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

Found myself not paying attention

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Not the first artist I would put on, but can certainly appreciate why he is as famous as he is.

Rio

Duran Duran

2/5

Could just be one big song honestly, although Rio and Hungry like a wolf are iconic by themselves.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

1/5

Likely slipped through the cracks for a reason

Bert Jansch

2/5

Less good than Croce

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

3/5

Wasn’t too bad, nothing was sticking with me though.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

2/5

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Definetely some good sessions in this.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

3/5

Not to bad really, but nothing grabbed me.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Never heard of them. Some fun lyrics and beats.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

Maybe has it’s uses for something?

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Halfway between good and bad

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

Not ground breaking. Definitely didn’t hit the same as her first album did when she first appeared

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

Little too slow for my liking. Did sound like a modern day Bryan Adam’s though.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

1/5

Lost interest by the first song.

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

She got some pipes

The xx

2/5

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

Soul

Signing Off

3/5

It wasn’t bad, but after a while it starts to all sound like the same song

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

1/5

Cool

Clandestino

Manu Chao

3/5

Actually wasn’t bad

Elvis Presley

4/5

Maybe not my favorite Elvis album, but can’t deny the feelings that come with every song I hear by him. Reminds me instantly of my grandfather. I’ll take more of those memories any day.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

2/5

Situational. Time and place. Tilling a garden, maybe not one of them hahah.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

The King. Too tier album.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

3/5

Seemed to me less refined
