1999 by Prince

Classic Prince. A couple hits, some good grooves, and a ton of random crap.

1989 by Taylor Swift

If you like pop music, it's pretty damn good.

Disintegration by The Cure

I was never depressed enough as a teenager to get into The Cure.

Classic Prince. A couple hits, some good grooves, and a ton of random crap.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica

Great guitar sound. Orchestral arrangements. At the time it was intense but now it sounds pretty vanilla.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 19 2021

By far my least favourite S&G album. Trying too hard to be weird.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

Great arrangements, great voice. Weaker songs in the second half.

B-52's by The B-52's

Yeah, I haven't taken enough drugs to get it. Rock Lobster is funny, though.

Jan 26 2021

Some good songs. Classic Stones

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
