A modern classic in the truest definition. Great for both listening all the way through to experience the story and listening to individual songs. Accessible with enough to dig your teeth into. Reading hip hop reviews is one of my favorite activities on here because you can tell who didn’t actually listen to the album and decided to give it a poor review anyway.

Very clear this one influenced artists like Duran Duran. Doesn’t mean I can’t find it boring and forgettable. Not bad but I would not listen again. The title track was ok I guess.

Very interesting concept for an album. I enjoyed it. Not sure I would go back to it as it’s not really my style. Favorite songs were Walt Whitman’s Niece, She Came Along To Me, and I Guess I Planted.

I like this album more than I should. I prefer A New World Record overall. Great songs on here including the excellent suite. Favorite songs are Turn To Stone, Sweet Talkin Woman, Summer And Lightning, Mr. Blue Sky, and The Whale. Objectively a 3.

Not sure why this one is on here. Live albums probably shouldn’t be on the list. I prefer the studio recording for almost all of these songs. My Generation and Magic Bus are pretty good though.

Some of the best songs they ever made, along with a bunch more. Revolution 9 is interesting, but isn’t something I would choose to put on. Favorites are While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Black Bird, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Helter Skelter, and Back In The USSR.

Ehh it wasn’t something I would come back to. Too long for what it offered. Title track was ok.

Beautiful album from one of our best voices. Some tracks do more for me than others. Not huge into his version of Bridge Over Troubled Water compared to the original. Favorites are The Man Comes Around, Hurt, I Hung My Head, In My Life, and Streets of Laredo.

The grittiness, the samples, the verses, everything is great. The blueprint of east coast gangster rap for years to come. The opposite side of the coin from Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul, but just as good and aging very well. Amazing that this came out on the same day as Midnight Marauders. Wu-Tang is for the children.

There is nothing else to say about this one. Perfect

The song Help Save The Youth of America wants to be I Fought The Law so badly and it’s simply not. He is very British that’s for sure and I honestly kinda like it. Favorite songs are Greetings to the New Brunette, The Warmest Room, and There is Power in a Union.

Consistently great instrumental performances. Not the biggest fan of the singers voice. Long runtime that never really felt boring. Favorite songs were Cherub Rock, Rocket, Disarm, and Silverfuck.

I enjoyed this one. Nothing groundbreaking clearly borrowing much from styles done years before. Most of the songs have a very similar sound, but I like the sound so I won’t complain. Favorite tracks are Welcome To The Working Week, Miracle Man, Blame It On Cain, and Less Than Zero.

The first track titled Being Boring really sets a tone for this album because it sure was boring.

This album was good. I liked the second half more than the first. Lots of energy here. Favorite songs are Rich, Black Tongue, No No No, and Maps

Deserving of its classic status. Almost every song on here is great. I’m not a huge fan of Hot For Teacher.

I was really feeling this one to the point where I was ready to give it a 5 until the last three songs. Those didn’t really click for me. Loved the rest though. Favorite songs are In It For The Money, Richard III, Sun Hits The Sky, and It’s Not Me.

I really wanted to like this. She is clearly very talented. I found myself getting bored, and the nearly 15 minute closer didn’t help that. I liked the songs Red Clay Halo and I Want To Sing That Rock And Roll.

It’s long, it’s jammy, it’s blues. Can’t ask for too much more than that. Some great playing and a good recording. Problem with live albums is they just make me wish I was there.

This one peaks in the first two songs and then just kinda isn’t very good. Love the bass playing.
