Billy Bragg
5/5
Outstanding folk rock. Woody Guthrie’s lyrics are funny, inspiring, depressing.

Run-D.M.C.
4/5
The album that brought rap to the mainstream and it sounds like it. Rapping over rock guitars on the title track, and King of Rock from previous album, is still awesome, and better than the more famous Walk this Way. Some of the boasting gets repetitive, and some songs lean a bit heavy on the misogyny.
Sonic Youth
4/5
Really enjoyable. Clear influence on all alternative music since.
Gene Clark
5/5
Silver Raven really good and haunting. Lady of the North has really interesting function sections in otherwise standard country rock ballad. No Other is just good 70s rock. Strong, thoughtful lyrics throughout.
The Jam
5/5
Mix of punk, new wave , and 60s rock. Driving baselines.
The Doors
4/5
Very bluesy.
Björk
4/5
Much less “weird” than I previously thought. Reminiscent of Massive Attack and lo-fi. For the first time I feel like I “get” and like Bjork.
Bruce Springsteen

Napalm Death
3/5
Not bad, but definitely not my thing.
The Smiths
4/5
Title track is annoying, but overall album is good.
The Cardigans
4/5
Lovefool is still a complete ear worm. Rest of the album is pretty enjoyable
John Coltrane
4/5
Good. Feel like I need multiple listens to form a full opinion
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
4/5
Mostly solid prog rock. Extensive use of piano/organ is interesting. Title track (really suite of 7 songs) is very good and similar to Dark Side. “The only way (hymn)” is weird.
Gang Starr
3/5
Good lyrics, not my favorite delivery. Beats are okay, “softer” than most rap from the time.
