Rated 10/10
The Kinks album that first got me hooked on this great band. One of my all time favorites.

Rated 10/10
One of the all time classics. Every single second of this album is baked in to my music DNA. One of the absolute best albums ever made.
Rated 8/10
I always am pretty meh on The Who and then I'll listen to them and find them so much more interesting than I was expecting. This was a great record, seems like them leaning more in to their quirkier side for this.
Rated 8/10
Had never heard of this, but this is an excellent and solid early 90s east coast hip hop album. Really enjoyed this.
Rated 10/10
A standard at this point. Miles Davis is one of one.
Rated 6/10
I have heard this Green Onions opening track so many times in my life and it never occurred to me to wonder or figure out what that song was called or who it was by. Wild to play this record and have that song start it off. This was enjoyable enough for sure. It's not surprising that these songs have stood the test of time.
Rated 8/10
Roxy Music always hits. What a vibe.
Rated 10/10
Obviously a classic and an easy 5 stars.
Rated 6/10
Another Yes album. This sure is proggy, but for some reason feels more tolerable than their other records on this list.
Rated 8/10
Undeniably a great and classic album from one of the best to ever do it. It's influence and imprint on society is huge. That being said, it's also a bit long and bloated. Not my favorite even though it's likely his best.
Rated 10/10
I am really only familiar with Funkadelic in name, and know I have heard them playing just around many times for years. This album was killer, really got in to it, and the funk is not really my thing.
Rated 8/10
Early Neil Young album, hitting that folk sound pretty hard. Has the giant hit "Southern Man" on it, but most of these songs are at least somewhat familiar to me. Good record for sure.
Rated 6/10
Sure this is fine, but I really don't care about it at all.
Rated 6/10
Was unfamiliar with this artist, but enjoyed this for sure. The correct blend of 1980s new wave and pop.
Rated 6/10
This Elton John album is frontloaded with the hits--the rest of it is pretty meandering. These songs go on for a bit.
Rated 6/10
This is very pleasant inoffensive pop country music. Not bad by any means.
Rated 8/10
I don't think about The Fall that much, but whenever I hear them I love it so much. This album is super solid front to back. Catchy post-punk at it's finest.
Rated 2/10
Ha man, crazy to listen to this. What a weird time in popular music, especially since I was squarely in the age range this music targeted at the time. I obviously know the hits, and they stand out. The rest of the album, not so much. I guess that probably comes with the territory of manufacturing bubblegum pop in the model of hitting a couple big radio/MTV hits. Some killer and a lotta filler.
This album is obviously notable because it had a huge effect on pop music and culture going forward. But it's not something you need to listen to.
Rated 6/10
Meh, this isn't bad. It's pretty rootsy and bluesy for sure, which isn't surprising. It's overly long. I feel like I would have preferred this a lot more if had been distilled and released as a single album rather than a double album.
Rated 8/10
Classic PNW rock n roll. This band hits you in the face, and they are going full speed the whole time. Love this energy for 1960s garage rock.
