Electric LadylandThe Jimi Hendrix Experience

8/10

While I don’t go back to this album often, you gotta respect the creativity and raw talent here.

6/10

Please please please go listen to their next album “This Is Happening”
It’s iconic it should be on this list so I can give it 5 stars
Why is this album on here instead?
>:(

Aretha-tier vocalist doing some ice cream + red wine jams

6/10

I downed a red sour patch ghost energy drink and put this on to start work at 5:30AM and I got real productive real fast.

Hijacking the arena sport aux to play this during soccer games 🔥

OrbitalOrbital

6/10

• Blissed out and hypnotic. Like I’m in a UK warehouse on acid
• Lush 3-1 gets played at a rave happening inside Donkey Kong Country 2
• This album is what old excision is gonna sound like in 30 years
• The la la la vocal from Halcyon And On And On is a famous sample. Most recently used in a Skrillex & Boys Noize BANGER called “Fine Day Anthem”
• There’s some more important/better electronic albums I’d rather see on this list
• If Parker blind-rates this above a 2 then I will give myself $20

Only by the NightKings of Leon

4/10

Front half of the album is good, back half is a snoozer. And what does Kings of Leon do that The Killers, The Strokes, Muse, U2, or Black Keys didn’t already do better? Album is fine in a vacuum but on a 1000 albums you must listen to list? I don’t knoooow about that

Lady SoulAretha Franklin

8/10

She sings the hell outta this album. Generational vocal talent.

Adele, Karen Carpenter, Aretha Franklin. Can't think of many other singers who stick the landing on EVERY single note like this.

Unless that new Ringo Starr album HITS XD

Rubber SoulThe Beatles

8/10

Such a good way to end the earlier traditional Beatles sound. Very polished. Nowhere Man gotta be the highlight here.

But the real treat of this album is Ringo Starr doing a lead vocal (What Goes On) where he’s NOT singing about an imaginary creature or some drug-induced situation he finds himself in

Joan BaezJoan Baez

8/10

I’m convinced she dated bob dylan just to show everyone how she clears him in many categories (multi-lingual, sane)

The Fat of the LandProdigy

10/10

Fucking AMPED for this one. Wildly ahead of it’s time. The prodigy did the dubstep/riddim/bass music aesthetic 20 years before it became a thing. Producers like G Jones and Nitepunk are just now making Prodigy-style sounds popular in edm. The first two tracks on here are widely considered to be classics, but Mindfields is such a slept on banger.

The Noisia remix of Smack My Bitch Up & the Glitch Mob remix of Breathe are modernized versions of these bangers, worth checking out

HarvestNeil Young

4/10

One liberating thing about turning 26 is being able to say “Neil Young just doesn’t do it for me” without the fear of being disowned by my parents and dropped from the family healthcare plan. Too old for that now

Machine HeadDeep Purple

8/10

Millennials know that Deep Purple rocks they were the first song in Guitar Hero 3 AND the intro to Rockband
