My favorite Roots album and one of my favorite hip-hop albums.

5/5

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

5/5

Owned on vinyl.

Paul's Boutique

4/5

A treasure trove of music discovery through the samples.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

3/5

Favorites: The Queen Is Dead, Frankly, Mr. Shankly, Bigmouth Strikes Again Gets droopy after first two tracks.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

3/5

Far better than I thought it would be.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

A lot of cool instrumentals. Great singles. At 59 minutes, it's long.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

2/5

Cee Lo's comments in recent years have soured his reputation. Solid production by the Neptunes and Jazzy Pha, but the album contains too much filler.

Common

4/5

Impeccable, peak production from Kanye West. Contains the track performed live by Common and Kanye on Chappelle's Show.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

2/5

I think Grounds for Divorce and One Day Like This made a splash upon release with synchs. Elbow are not a favorite.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

2/5

Did not catch my attention. Respect for Mike Watt, but this isn't for me.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

1/5

Nope.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

2/5

Catchy 80's pop punk. Didn't finish.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

1/5

Irish pub punk music. Didn't finish.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

T. Rex rules.

Forever Changes

Love

3/5

Okay. Not very exciting classic rock.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Hadn't heard in years. Hard to believe this is now the "best album of all time" but still an absolute psychedelic classic. Dug "Oh! Darling" quite a bit.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

3/5

Solid alt-country album. Similar to Wilco's AM.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Favorites: Can I Get a Witness?, I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself Huge, orchestral production. Wavers between pop and soul. "Dusty" version on Spotify includes multiple releases.
