Standout tracks:
Foreplay / Long Time
Rock & Roll Band

The Beach Boys
3/5
Rating may be affected by the setting of first listen, and sound quality (makes it sound very dated). Enjoyable, I'd throw this on at a beach in DR for sure. No particular standout track.
Culture Club
4/5
Karma Chameleon is a certified jam. Second half is better than the first. Standout tracks: Church of the Poison Mind, Mister Man, Victims, Melting Pot.
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
3.5/5, probably sounds best after a long day at work, a lot of working class, cog in the machine themes. Standout Tracks: Adam Raised a Cain, Racing in the Street, Darkness on the Edge of Town.
Run-D.M.C.
5/5
4.5/5. A bit samey throughout (songs blending into each other although that's certainly a curse of younger ears than the record), but this is certainly a classic. Didn't expect to really enjoy the rap-rock combination as much as I did, but it goes hard. Glad to have heard this.
Standout Tracks: Peter Piper, It's Tricky, Hit It Run, Raising Hell
Tim Buckley
4/5
Great album, love the guitar and congas on these songs, very groovy.
Standout tracks: Sweet Surrender, Devil Eyes, Hong Kong Bar
Nick Drake
4/5
3.5/5. Very melancholy, good after an emotionally exhaustive day. Not particularly my favorite genre.
Standout Tracks: The Thoughts of Mary Jane, Saturday Sun
Alice Cooper
5/5
Love the dark, gritty themes of this album over the loud, anthemic, hard rock guitars. Cooper's got a killer voice.
Standout Tracks: Hello Hooray, Elected, Billion Dollar Babies, Mary Ann, I Love the Dead
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
4/5
Very calming, healing album. Goes great on a park stroll to just clear your head and energy. A lot of it blends together, language barrier issue but it smoothly transitions all the way through.
Standout Tracks: Golgotha, Rain, Rain, Beautiful Rain, Wausho Kubani? (Who Were You Talking To?)
B.B. King
4/5
Standout Tracks: How Blue Can You Get?, You Upset Me Baby, Help The Poor
Nice album, not my favorite genre of rock (soft and sad-ish I guess).
Standout Tracks: Beautiful Day, Wild Honey, New York
Butthole Surfers
4/5
Strong 4. Dark and hard as nails. Not a huge huge fan of the pure noisy tracks but the feeling is understood.
Standout Tracks: Pittsburgh to Lebanon, Hay, Kuntz, Graveyard (2), 22 Going On 23
DJ Shadow
4/5
Listened to it before and quite liked it.
Sly & The Family Stone

4/5
Great album, lots of great groovy tracks.
Standout Tracks: Man at C&A, Hey Little Rich Girl, Stereotype / Stereotype Pt. 2, I Can't Stand It, International Jet Set

Air Traffic
3/5
3.5 / 5. Edgy, British version of the last album lol.
Rage Against The Machine
5/5
4.5/5. Hardcore, political, aggressive, love it. Zack De La Rocha comes with killer hooks that make you want to burn the city down.
Standout Tracks: Killing In The Name, Settle For Nothing, Bullet In The Head, Wake Up, Fistful Of Steel
Finley Quaye
4/5
Quite enjoyed it, a groover for sure, lots of tracks that get better as you listen to them start to hypnotize the ears.
Standout Tracks: It's Great When We're Together, Ride On and Turn the People On, The Way of the Explosive, Supreme I Preme, I Need a Lover
Fun Lovin' Criminals
4/5
Really really dope mix of smooth Rap / Rock and R&b tracks. Album art is accurate, great for cruisin'.
Standout Tracks: Smoke Em', We Have All the Time in the World, Come Find Yourself, Crime and Punishment, Methadonia
The White Stripes
4/5
A fun, rebellious, heartbroken album. I'm not (currently) heartbroken so maybe it doesn't hit that hard at the moment, but I like the more rowdy and rebellious tracks.
Standout Tracks: Seven Nation Army, In The Cold, Cold Night, Ball and Biscuit, Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine
The Shamen
3/5
Enjoyable, surprisingly catchy and positive hooks, makes you want to get up and dance. Feels like I should be on speed in a 90s office. Or tripping balls at a house party. Very little in between. Much of it melts into each other although you shouldn't be sober enough to realize it any way.
Standout Tracks: Move Any Mountain, Possible Worlds, Omega Amigo, Evil Is Even
Bob Dylan
3/5
3.5/5. Quite lengthy, not much I think I'll go back to from this, very country and blues-ish, not much my cup of tea.
Standout Tracks: Million Miles, Can't Wait, Highlands
The Streets
4/5
Very fun, very catchy, I like operas and I love rap. Great story.
Standout Tracks: Not Addicted, Blinded by the Lights, Get Out of My House, What Is He Thinking?, Dry Your Eyes
Supergrass
4/5
Strong 4. Great Rock that just rips emotions out of you, excitement and longing alike. Second half is better.
Standout Tracks: Late In The Day, Sun Hits The Sky, Going Out, It’s Not Me, Cheapskate, You Can See Me, Hollow Little Reign
Manic Street Preachers
4/5
Another great Britpop record.
Standout Tracks: A Design for Life, Kevin Carter, Enola / Alone, Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky

3/5
3.5/5. Not a lot of replay-ability here for me. Maybe too early rock-ish.
Standout Tracks: Some Weird Sin, The Passenger, Turn Blue
Thelonious Monk
3/5
Nice jazz. I probably can't properly appreciate this album due to a number of factors... but yeah it's good jazz.
Standout Tracks: Pannonica
Jeff Buckley
4/5
He's got a great smooth voice, lot of soul and sadness and in it.
Standout Track(s): So Real

A Tribe Called Quest
5/5
Classic hip-hop shit.
Standout Tracks: Buggin' Out, Butter, Verses from the Abstract, What?, Scenario
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
I feel like I would have really liked this album if I was around at the time just out of it's punk, alt-rock nature. There's some hip hop influence in this record that I attribute to Rick Rubin's production. Good album, although it starts to drag on with 17 tracks.
Standout Tracks: Suck My Kiss, I Could Have Lied, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Sir Psycho Sexy
Baaba Maal
3/5
3.5/5. Nice listen, would make great background music in a hookah lounge.

3.5/5.
Standout Tracks: Stormy Monday, You Don't Love Me, Hot 'Lanta, In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, Whipping Post

Didn’t super love or hate this. Not much of a fan of dude’s voice. I swear I saw somewhere this was an R&B album and that may have skewed my ears coming in.
Standout Tracks: Tokyo Storm Warning, I Want You, Crimes of Paris
JAY Z
5/5
C’mon. Classic.
Madness

Quite artsy. As expected of any album with "Cafe" in the title. King Krule type beats.
Standout Tracks: Penguin Cafe Single, Coronation, The Sound Of Someone You Love Who's Going Away And It Doesn't Matter
Jerry Lee Lewis
2/5
Old school rock and roll, not bad by any means but a bit too dated for me.
Common
4/5
Common with Kanye production. Classic soulful samples over hard hitting conscious lyrics about everyday Chicago tales. Can get a bit too positive for me at times but it’s all superbly done nonetheless.
Standout Tracks: The Corner, Testify, Chi-City, They Say, It’s Your World
Teenage Fanclub
3/5
3.5/5. Mostly enjoyable, kinda catchy, noisy pop.

Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
I’ve got a soft spot for good folksy Country tunes.

Nirvana
5/5

4/27
A country epic, at an hour and a half it drags on at some points, but it does draw a compelling narrative of life down south, growing up in the 70s and 80s, some history of the area and the groups that influenced them, all wrapped up in some hard, southern rock.

Gotta say "Natural Mystic" was an amazing opener and raised my expectations for the rest of the album, but nothing else came quite close to that groovy tension, and I was left wanting more. Still, I enjoyed some of the more chill, laid back tracks, and overall a classic album.

A great groover that earns itself a solid, strong 4 from me. Really easy to make a mediocre muck of this genre, but they do it right with catchy hooks, varied production backing the synth-i-ness of it all, and a dramatically romantic lead with a brass voice. No moments where they go above and beyond to me, feels more slow burn on the dance floor in a drug haze type vibes, so at 4 it stays.
