Wu-Tang Clan and RZA vibes await.

Wu-Tang Clan and RZA vibes await.
Ebullient spirit imbued with punk (Ramones-y) energy and great pop hooks.
While sprawling and uneven, this double album contains some of Tupac Shakur’s best artistic output.
It’s out there and it’s freaky and it’s punk and it rocks and it all works marvelously well.
Melancholy yet upbeat, accessible yet deeply indie.
Revved up garage rock with punk attitude. Get it.
Variety and range, from hardcore punk to an acoustic jam that you could almost imagine being on a 1980s era Midnight Oil record.
Fun power pop with a little punk and glam influence thrown in – nothing wrong with that (and much that’s right).
The definition of heavy metal.
Alt country that pleasantly zooms along with lyrics that are genuinely funny and clever.
Old school punk that’s completely pleasing and satisfying to the ear.
Blues and folk music from a true master.
An unusual musical locale that’s hard to nail down, but well worth the journey.
Irony and kitsch beget musical admiration beget deep nostalgia.
Quintessential mid-1990s alternative rock.
From ska to punk to new wave to pop, all performed with the extreme exuberance and confidence of youth and with tongues firmly planted in cheeks… I guess you can only describe it as Madness.
Definitely not for everyone, but this wildly and weirdly experimental rock album has dizzying and genre transmorphing moments that are tremendously exciting.
Spanning elegant, gorgeous pop, soul, and down and dirty blues in the best kind of way.
Effervescent Britpop from the mid-‘90s with hooks to match.
Early ‘80s new wave-meets-garage rock with fantastic keyboards.
YouTube’s lofi girl and Spotify yield lofi hip hop bliss. That’s a bingo!
If you’ve got an electro house urge, this album brings the satisfaction.
An album that makes you think about music as a lifelong lifeline.
Brazilian and bossa nova roots with a modern upbeat lounge feel.
Underground French hip hop that reminds me that there’s nothing better than discovering great music.
It’s kind of weird and disturbing and great. Come take the trip.
An unusual but ultimately pleasing combination of traditional Irish music and modern American rock.
Adams spans singer songwriter-y pop to chilled out rock to alt country for quite a moody trip.
A delirious blast of UK punk.
If I had to choose one word to describe this album, it’s swanky.
I defy you to come away from this one without humming “I need a dollar, dollar, dollar that’s what I need…”
Serious about its 1970s and 1980s guitar rock sensibilities. Doubly serious about having a gas in the lyrical content department.
Aggressive yet upbeat, fast paced super fun power poppy punk by way of Seattle, Washington.
Smart, blistering underground hip hop with ultra-tight flow.
Smooth, sexy, doo wop-y, rocking late 1950s vibes that project energy and fun.
If you’re not yet hip to it, suddenly you shall see that super satisfying sounds abound.
Uh… this album is crazy. Good crazy, but crazy. Dig it.
“War” first and foremost, but make peace with the fact there’s also a lot of other great songs going down here.
Mia Zapata’s vocals matched with urgent raucous punky Seattle grunge energy.
Tight-as-a-drum, chugging, thunderous, and gloriously aggressive metal.
Exquisite 1950s-era New York City jazz replete with vibraphone tidings and jazz lounge vibes.
Head bobbing roots reggae with intense, consciousness-raising lyrics.
Top notch early ‘90s alt/indie rock with fantastic vocals and a knack for poppy hooks.
Old school hip hop with flavors of A Tribe Called Quest and Digable Planets, and that’s just sweet.
This zig zag wander ain’t for everyone, but for me it’s sure ‘nuff ‘n’ yes, I do!
Smart, catchy, arty new wave-y punk that gets under skin in the best kind of way.
Crunching, groovy electro beats that could chew through the back of the club (or your mind, yeah?).
Incredible songcraft, wild variety, and the magical odd couple mesh of Campbell’s whispery delightful voice and Lanegan’s world weary soft growl.
Love love “Bulletproof,” and the whole album has a high-octane dance pop energy.
Whatever he chooses to call himself, MF Doom… er, Viktor Vaughn is a hip hop genius.
Wildly eclectic and inventive music that pings between punk to indie with many inviting ports of call in between.
Great electro house music with crushing grooves for days.
Conjures the feeling of being inside a gritty, indie British gangster flick and/or hanging out in a pub on a dreary English afternoon.
If you’re in the mood for a melancholy, quiet, pretty album with a Beatles-y vibe (and with literal Beatles-y lineage), Friendly Fire fits the bill.
This album represents the best of the kind of music listening I do these days while working or hanging out with friends and friends during cocktail hour.
It’s a fun (very) old school hip hop party album, and/but “Apache” is the towering achievement here that merits best 1,000 album list consideration.
“Scott Pilgrim” and many others are a fantastic blend of garage, poppy punk, and indie rock that are addictively ear pleasing.
Steppenwolf is a blend of late ‘60s psychedelia and hard rock which, melded together, gets you the term Acid Rock.
It’s fresh, indie, passionate, and punk, all the more remarkable for an album produced some four decades ago
Yeah, I know it’s audacious, a little crazy (okay, maybe a lot cray cray), bordering on criminal nerdery.
THE BEST 1,000 ALBUM EVER.
