Kid A

Radiohead

2/5

3/10. Favorite track: Optimistic I can obviously feel the quality however the pure instrumentals aren't my taste and this album is like 80% pure instrumentals.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

7/10 While not an album that's going on my main playlist, I still had a great time with it. The vibes fill me with nostalgia for things I grew up with that may have shared a similar sound like Tom & Jerry and even Fallout: New Vegas. Will most likely revisit.

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

6/10. Fav Track - It's The End Of The World As We Know It The first album where I already had some listening experience with two of the songs, which needed little to be enjoyable. The rest of the album had a similar sound but only really peaked one or two more times for me.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

2/5

5/10. Very fun sound. Wild song titles

Achtung Baby

2/5

5/10 Will need to give a re-listen at some point because I'm behind right now. The one quick listen I gave it was alright but not too memorable.

The Doors

4/5

7/10. Fav Track - Break on Through Some top notch dad rock

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

7/10. Fav Track - Rip This Joint The Rolling Stones made one of my favorite songs of all time so it's very unsurprising that I enjoyed the sound they provide throughout this album.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

7/10. Fav Track - Every Breath You Take / King Of Pain there's a little black spot on the sun todayyyyy

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

1/5

2/10 Probably my least favorite album so far.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

9/10. Fav Tracks - Turn To Stone, Jungle, Summer and Lightning, Mr Blue Sky What an absolute ray of sunshine this album is.

Horses

Patti Smith

2/5

4/10 Catchy but not for me

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

2/5

3/10. Fav Track - Living in Another World Sadly another style that just isn't my favorite, regardless of the clear talent displayed. They did fuck the absolute shit outta that harmonica though.

The Stooges

2/5

3/10 Another miss for me :(

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

3/5

6/10 Fav Track - Praying For Time, Freedom! '90 (I know it's me and my taste's fault) but we finally broke the streak of misses!

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

2/5

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

2/5

3/10 I'm running out of unique ways to say "I can hear the quality, but it's not for me".

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

1/5

1/10 I really didn't fw with dude's voice.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

7/10 Fav Tracks - Concrete Jungle, Stop That Train, 400 Years Was already a Marley fan so no surprise the king of reggae has a banger album.

Queen II

Queen

3/5

6/10 Fav Tracks - Father to Son, Seven Seas Of Rhye While only a couple songs made it to my playlist I'll never not enjoy some Queen.

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

2/5

4/10. Fav Track - While You See A Chance I listened to this one twice because honestly I wasn't sure how I felt after the first go. I have a good time listening but it always comes down to "Do I want to include any of this in my main playlist" and unfortunately I didn't.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

2/5

4/10. Fav Track - Walt Whitman's Niece Enjoyable at times however quite dull at others.

Van Halen

5/5

10/10. Fav Tracks - All of them THIS IS WHAT I STARTED THIS JOURNEY HOPING FOR. Probably some of the best classic/hard rock of ALL TIME.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

10/10. Fav Track - All of them The first full album on this list that I've already listened to. Don't need to tell you that RATM is top tier.

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

2/5

5/10. Fav Track - Segredo Fun electronic beats at best, elevator music at worst.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

10/10. Fav Tracks - All of them I'm just getting spoiled recently because another hardcore classic is now in the books.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

2/5

3/10. Fav Track - Lust For Life I really like the title track but that's about it, the sounds are nice but nothing pops beyond that first track. One song specifically I really didn't like.

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

2/5

4/10. Fun sound not too memorable for me

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

2/5

3/10 I found it pretty dull

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

7/10. Fav Tracks - Golden Years, Wild is the Wind The first of what I can only assume with be multiple Bowie albums. I was not disappointed.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

5/5

10/10 Insane first rap album on this adventure.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

6/10. Fav Tracks - Message in a Bottle Fun sound however I much preferred "Synchronicity" from The Police. Message in a Bottle and some others are obviously classics however I think the risks they take in later projects absolutely pay off more than this album.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

2/5

3/10

Woodface

Crowded House

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

2/5

4/10 I like the sound but I despise how this album is structured. Maybe I'm not built correctly but I don't need an 18 minute song

Calexico

4/5

Bad

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

3/5

6/10 Fun listen, a couple songs saved to the playlist.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

8/10 Probably won't be my favorite Sinatra album but it gets like 2 whole bonus points for containing my favorite Sinatra song of all time (I've Got You Under My Skin). Good stuff.

1/5

2/10 I fail to see why this was on the list.

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

2/5
