Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

I only knew the radio songs (Young Americans and Fame) before listening. The rest was good too. There was an unexpected Beatles cover (Across the Universe), which was fun.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

3/5

I had never heard of these guys. It was relaxing and pleasant. I could listen for sure while working on something. Maybe a bit on the boring side, though.

Adele

4/5

It all sounds good, maybe not my genre.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

This is great listening

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Good, would listen again.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Classic. Smiths are a bit melodramatic for me, but I can listen to this album.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

4/5

This was good latin fun.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

This is a good album, maybe a great one. I have a hard time with all the explicit lyrics though. It's too frequent for my sensistive ears.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

I used to listed to this one regularly. Thanks for reminding me that it had been a while. Great album, but I think everyone already knows that.

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

Good. I've always wondered why these guys fell from favor. Their music is very listenable rock.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

2/5

I don't understand Steely Dan. There are some clever lyrics, but this isn't something I need to hear again.

Crazysexycool

TLC

2/5

It's just okay. Probably won't listen to this again.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

This album...it's overrated. Other 90s grunge has aged well (Pearl Jam), but Alice in Chains just feels dated now. It's not as strong musically or lyrically as the timeless albums on the list. I think it's okay to forget this album.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

5/5

Absolute classic. Peace Frog.

Play

Moby

4/5

This is good. Easy to listen to while working. Good backgroun music.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Good, fun. Not sure I can listen over and over again.

Mask

Bauhaus

2/5

Just okay. There's a lot of punk I'd rather listen to.

Peter Gabriel 3

Peter Gabriel

3/5

I listened, but I was distracted. Nothing really jumped out at me. Sorry, Peter.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Wiiiiiiild Horses couldn't drag me away from this album. Every song.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

It's Radiohead, so it's pretty great. But this is not my favorite Radiohead album. When I get a Tier 2 album from a great band, it makes me wonder of all the tier 1 albums from that band are also on the 1001 list.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Pretty good. Famous songs, pop. Nothing other than the well known songs jumps out.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

3/5

Pretty good!

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

3/5

Pretty good, tiny bit of jazz in here with hip hop
