The absolute best Zeppelin album. I didn't even need to relisten to know this is a 5, but I'll never pass up another excuse to do so

Favorite Songs: Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, When the Levee Breaks

LowDavid Bowie

Rated 6/10

I think I respect Bowie more than I like his music. Historically I find him interesting, and I like the concept of this album, but I didn't find it too engaging. The last half was great for a late night run though!

Favorite Song: Subterraneans

Beyond the two standout tracks, there really isn't too much here

Favorite Songs: Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane

I like a tight, 30-minute album. This one really grew on me, with the second half of the album being far better than the first

Favorite Songs: In Your House, A Forest, M, At Night

Van HalenVan Halen

Rated 8/10

Shocked this is their first album. They really kicked it off with a bang

Favorite Songs: Running With the Devil, Eruption

I can appreciate that this music was made while the artist was quite young and that it was influential for its time, but it's just not exciting to listen to now. Too much similar music exists out there for this to really stand out in any way.

Favorite Song: Xtal

SuicideSuicide

Rated 2/10

I can't believe this is on the list. The first song is a decent start, but every song after that is exponentially worse than the previous. I thought it couldn't get worse than Girl, but Frankie Teardrop proved me wrong.

BadMichael Jackson

Rated 4/10

It's Michael Jackson. There are some awful songs in here (Dirty Diana, Liberian Girl) and he's an awful person, but these songs are iconic for a reason

It might've been a bit long and dragged a little at some parts, but I think it kept it fresh and interesting enough to keep me engaged. It seems that I'm a fan of prog rock

Favorite Songs: Carpet Crawlers, Colony of Slipperman

An excellent Jazz piano album, made even more excellent by the story behind it. Albums like this are why I keep doing this project, even after a full week of British rock

Enjoyable, but brought down by the fact that it doesn't sound very unique anymore. I've heard lots like this since it came out

Favorite Songs: Blue Line
