Rated 8/10
Snoop masters puts together a classic of 90s gangster rap with a laid back attitude yet funky mood that stands out as a pillar of West Coast rap
Rated 8/10
While Aladdin Sane contains a lot of energy and exciting songs, something about this character doesn't fully click for me in the music. That said Bowie still delivers an incredible performance and good album
Rated 8/10
A entertaining and exciting prog rock album that manages to keep you hooked the whole way through with harmonized vocals and exciting instrumentation
Rated 6/10
A pretty mediocre imitation of beach boys at best
Rated 8/10
Gogos produce new wave and radio classics that typify the 80s so well. They got the beat!
Rated 8/10
Police consistently put out catch and innovating tracks and this record is no exception. Standout singles and fun takes on reggae genre
Rated 8/10
Lots and lots of harmonica and long winding songs that never reach any meaningful destination yet remain entertaining
Rated 8/10
Police put out a catchy yet experimental record, pushing the envelope for mainstream rock and establishing themselves as a household name with this record
Rated 6/10
Atmospheric and moody, this record is unique and breaks the mold but is difficult to appreciate as a standout album. It is far more impressive as a recording than a collection of music, but still impressive as that
Rated 4/10
A meh record - it's inclusion here seems like a personal choice versus a record of actual significance.
Rated 8/10
Having grown up watching Elvis movies and hearing his movie soundtrack records, this is a side of Elvis I had yet to encounter - a beautiful fusion of country and soul
Rated 8/10
Raw power has lots of aggression and charisma, serving as a deeper cut yet standout gem in Iggy Pop and the stooges discography
Rated 6/10
Classic songs like band on the run are on this record, and it's easy to listen to, with a standout being Picasso's last word. A solid record but doesn't reach the heights as some of Paul's other works and at times feels like a cheap imitation
Rated 6/10
A fun and innovative take on rap. Some very catchy hits but drags on a bit
Rated 8/10
Forward thinking, bold, and full of wonderful ideas, this album stands out as a landmark in Eno's incredible solo career
What is there to say about this record that hasn't been said already. It's truly a masterpiece in both music and pop culture
Sex pistols define classic punk and put their full aggression and social commentary on display on this record. It's punchy and defines the sounds for punk and to a larger extent rock that have dominated the last half-century
Rated 8/10
Droning sounds and dancing synths make this record sound like it's from the 80s synth pop movement - instead, this record is a precursor and an inspiration to the genre. It's catchy yet alien, and somehow kraftwerk finds a way to put it together in a pleasing way!
Rated 6/10
Offspring brings high energy, punchy riffs, and catchy songs to this record with highlights like come out and play. It doesn't break the mold but is entertaining and enjoyable
