A solid blast from the past.

Björk is a bit of an enigma with her bold and unique arrangements. I've long desired to get closer to her music but have struggled to maintain a deeper connection. Debut blends together several genres with memorable lyrics and a passionate voice. Certainly worth revisiting to bring out the true genius of her work.

Early synth pop ushering in a blend of new wave, goth and other metrics that defined the 80s.

Post Sex Pistols life takes on a familiar turn with anti establishment and killer hooks. This album helped usher in the post-punk era and the rock wave going into the 80s.

Powerful raw lyrics behind an original brand of soul like no other. Elements of rock, fund and just an overall mind trip that is relevant to the political climate of all eras.

The perfect blend of jazz for a beginner to waltz into. Easy listening although complex arrangements.

A timeless classic from an individual that is tough to stomach these days. Still, looking at this album in a vacuum has genre defining hits and leave a strong legacy.

The original. The pioneers. The beginning of the electronic craze and of course it comes from Düsseldorf. Buckle up.

A tour de force debut album with dense melodies and harmonics. A true wonder of an album that bursts with spring energy and lifts the spirit.

Bold, daring and quintessential avant-garde.

Alt rockers hit the jackpot with legit rifts and hooks that bleed into your heart over 12 tracks.

A perfect blend of pop and goth that was dark yet accessible. The melodies and lyrics are on point and stand the test of time.

Hectic, chaotic, melodic and prominent songwriting.....of the times. The rawness of the production seems a bit of the era and doesn't translate as well for me on a personal level.

Truly an album of its time. The predecessor to Jock Jams that would rule the stadium world for decades. That nostalgia drip is real and still brings a smile to my face. Maybe not one to have on repeat but holds a special place in your heart.

Steve Winwood led the charge for this by the numbers blues rock album. Seems somewhat by the numbers in this day and age but a solid history lesson for a force within the industry.

A lead single that transcended music at the time and pop culture to date. The full album still brings the energy of timeless soul rock.

Folk dueling vocals, sharp lyrics and timeless melodies. A winner then and a winner now.

A historic album that provided a voice that would spark a wild controversy. Unfairly dismissed at the time but has proven to be a timeless classic.

A classic rock staple. Undeniably catchy and fun. Stands the test of time.

Post Army Elvis stumbles a bit with consistency but still has the pipes to crank out the blues.
