Mermaid Avenue
Billy BraggOutstanding folk rock. Woody Guthrie’s lyrics are funny, inspiring, depressing.
All Ratings
Raising Hell
Run-D.M.C.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.
Daydream Nation
Sonic YouthReally enjoyable. Clear influence on all alternative music since.
No Other
Gene ClarkSilver 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.
Vespertine
BjörkMuch 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.
First Band On The Moon
The CardigansLovefool is still a complete ear worm. Rest of the album is pretty enjoyable
A Love Supreme
John ColtraneGood. Feel like I need multiple listens to form a full opinion
Tarkus
Emerson, Lake & PalmerMostly 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.
Step In The Arena
Gang StarrGood lyrics, not my favorite delivery. Beats are okay, “softer” than most rap from the time.
Mermaid Avenue
Billy BraggOutstanding folk rock. Woody Guthrie’s lyrics are funny, inspiring, depressing.
Axis: Bold As Love
Jimi HendrixUnsettling swirling stereo mix on intro and some songs, otherwise as awesome as expected from Hendrix.
The Marshall Mathers LP
EminemVery good musically, somewhat ruined by absurd levels of homophobia and misogyny.
It's A Shame About Ray
The Lemonheads90s indie/college rock. Power pop. Sounds like Elvis Costello
Sex Packets
Digital UndergroundSamples some great funk beats, but I’d rather just listen to those original tracks. Most songs are way too long
