Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Michael Jackson – Thriller – Rating: 5 / 5 One of the greatest albums of all time, PERIOD.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The White Stripes – Elephant – Rating: 3 / 5 I recognize the talent here and can understand why they’re well loved, but The White Stripes just aren’t for me. 3rd album of theirs, and only one of them I’ve really enjoyed.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Soft Boys – Underwater Moonlight – Rating: 1 / 5 2 plus hours of British psych rock. You must be out of your freaking mind. There is no way I’m wasting my morning on this shit. 5 songs in and I was like not a chance bruh.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Portishead – Third – Rating: 2 / 5 This Portishead album is rough. I love their Dummy album, but this album was a struggle.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Gorillaz – Gorillaz – Rating: 5 / 5 This is one of the few purely 5 out of 5 albums for me. No 4.5, no 4.75… just 5 out of damn 5. There is not a bad track, or even mediocre track on this album. It is just an amazing experience from start to finish, and one of my favorite albums of all time Favorite Videos: Ode to Love & […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Dwight Yoakam – Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room – Rating: 2 / 5 Almost gave this a 1 star because 1) it’s country music, and 2) Dude needs therapy. The only reason I’m upping it to a 2 is the incorporation of Mexican styles, especially songs reminding me of Tejano music. Favorite Videos: ITZY “Motto” Dance Video (Rooftop Ver.) Mercy Mercy…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The La’s – The La’s – Rating: 2 / 5 I know a single song from this band, and that’s because of movies. If you had asked who the band was behind the song, I would have never guessed it. This album kind of showed me why this is. Outside of “There She Goes”, the rest of this album is bland and boring. I finally hit the stop button when […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Public Enemy – Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black – Rating: 4.75 / 5 Always thankful when classic hip hop bangers drop as my pick of the day. Public Enemy absolutely brings it on this album, and has a very important track in “By the Time I Get to Arizona”. A must listen in PE’s catalogue Favorite Videos: [4K] SOYOU “Girl” Band LIVE…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Grant Lee Buffalo – Fuzzy – Rating: 1.5 / 5 When I saw this came out in ‘93, I could not remember this dude at all. I quickly found out why though. It’s because he’s boring and bland as shit. I’m sooooo shocked another album like this makes the list. Other Albums: Tink – Fuck, Marry, Kill – Rating: 4 / 5 Blu & Exile – Time Heals Everything…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Don McLean – American Pie – Rating: 2 / 5 Blew his load on the very first track, and it was all downhill and a boring slog for the rest of it.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Stooges – The Stooges – Rating: 1.5 / 5 This was not a good album. Even at around 30 minutes, this felt like it was going on forever. Terrible singer, not interesting at all music wise. Make the author of this list the 5th member, because he’s a stooge himself for all these bad picks. Favorite Videos: Gloria Groove : Tiny Desk Brasil…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Charlatans – Tellin’ Stories – Rating: 3.25 / 5 While I didn’t love it, I am surprised I enjoyed this one a decent amount. I see Brit Pop and I just ready myself for disappointment, but it wasn’t a bad album at all.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Rolling Stones – Exile On Main Street – Rating: 3.25 / 5 I just don’t get the hype. I have yet to be impressed by a full album of TRS. This is one of the better ones, but not by much. Other Albums: Isaia Huron – Mr. Lovebomb – Rating: 4 / 5 Gregory Hutchinson – Kind of Now: The Pulse of Miles Davis – Rating: 4.25 / 5 […]

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Goldfrapp – Felt Mountain – Rating: 3.25 / 5 I got another album of Goldfrapp’s that I absolutely loved, but this one is an odd choice for this list. Almost every songs sounds like an attempt at a James Bond style theme song. It just sadly isn’t consistent enough in quality, and few odd choices that made me cringe hard. Favorite Videos:…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Suicide – Suicide – Rating: 1 / 5 I didn’t hate the album at first, then the dude was just moaning and saying “Turn Me On” during one song and I was like FUCK THIS, and dipped.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Tarkus – Rating: 2.25 / 5 This album definitely happened. I liked the first track, but then the album drifted off into just being noise in the background. I don’t even remember when the album actually ended, just noticed at some point it was quiet. Favorite Videos: CHANMINA – TEST ME (AREA OF DIAMOND 4 @有明アリーナ)…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Screaming Trees – Dust – Rating: 2.5 / 5 This was pretty dull. It’s not a bad album, it’s just not very interesting. The lead singer’s voice just didn’t click with me, and the rest of the band just didn’t do enough to make up for it. Other Albums: Hannah Storm – It Will Never Be The Right Time – Rating: 4.25 / 5 Juvenile – Boiling Point –…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Marvin Gaye – Here, My Dear – Rating: 4.5 / 5 A great Marvin Gaye album, and while not his best, you can’t go wrong checking this one out obviously.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Run-D.M.C. – Run-D.M.C. – Rating: 4.5 / 5 A classic debut album from pioneers of rap. Still holds up to this day if you grew up with it. I can understand how those who didn’t listen to this era of hip hop may not enjoy it as much though. Other Albums: verycoybunny – Bunny Tale – Rating: 4.5 / 5 Girl Scout – Brink – Rating: 4.5 / 5 Favorite…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Jean-Michel Jarre – Oxygène – Rating: 3.75 / 5 When I read the information on this album before hitting play, I was sure I wasn’t going to enjoy it. Turns out I was wrong, and this album was really good. Definitely a nice surprise this morning. Other Albums: Ana Tijoux & DJ Dacel, – 97 EP – Rating: 4.25 / 5 Naïka – ECLESIA – Rating: 4.5 /…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Elvis Presley – From Elvis in Memphis – Rating: 4 / 5 Always enjoyed a lot of Elvis’ music, and I have a step-father that was an impersonator at one point, so I’ve heard A LOT of his music. This is definitely a really good album, and one that is more on the soulful, chill side of things. Was a good soundtrack for my morning routine. Other…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Traffic – Traffic – Rating: 2.25 / 5 It’s fine, but a bit too long. This album could have been 2 or 3 songs shorter and I probably would have rated it higher. Other Albums: EMNW – EMNW – Rating: 3 / 5 Kaneyorimasaru – ヒント – Rating: 4.5 / 5 Favorite Videos: [4K] P1Harmony “UNIQUE” Band LIVE [it’s Live] K-POP live music show KOLETTE performs…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: The Incredible String Band – The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter – Rating: 0 / 5 An album you should 100% avoid before you die. This is what they play in purgatory. Also the album cover creeps me the fuck out. It’s like the family of cannibals in the woods waiting for people to get lost. Favorite Videos: YO!

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Kate Bush – The Sensual World – Rating: 4 / 5 I really enjoy Kate Bush’s voice, and this album showcases it well. I had never really listened to her prior to this challenge, and I’m glad it has introduced me to her. A nice rebound on this challenge from her album, “The Dreaming”, that I felt had too many lows. Favorite Videos: Tiana…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Fun Lovin’ Criminals – Come Find Yourself – Rating: 2 / 5 This is that pretentious white college pothead dude’s favorite rap group.

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Tim Buckley – Greetings From L.A. – Rating: 0 / 5 Tim Buckley is just awful. His voice is shit, his lyrical content is just trash, and others have done the same style of music better. At some point I clicked a link to YouTube that stopped the album, and I thanked it for putting me out of my misery. I did not go back and finish it. Other…

Daily 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die selection: Coldplay – Parachutes – Rating: 3 / 5 Another Coldplay album that is just fine. They are just inoffensive rock, and there’s a place for that, just not something I go out of my way to listen to.

Deep Purple – Made In Japan – Rating: 2.25 / 5 I almost went with a 2.5 or higher, but some of the instrument solos were overly long and downright annoying. One time they decided to make a grating noise to kick off a track and it made me audibly yell out “WTF”, and I just hit skip. Again, outside of live jazz albums, we don’t need live rock albums on this list. JFC. Favorite Videos: Japanese New…
