Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

Relaxing warm smooth Jazz. I like it, but not something I would listen to often. Not very exciting/energetic. Definitely cozy and romantic.

Suede

2/5

Crooning power ballad after ballad, wanna be smiths.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

3/5

I don't like his voice. the music is kinds jarring as well. It is very dark. Base licks and guitar riffs are nice. Big Black Mariah is good-Very blues rock. Rain Dogs (the song) might have won me over. Over all a tough album to listen to, I did enjoy a couple of songs. Singapore is probably the most interesting song, not saying I like it, just am compelled by the playfulness in the music, and the darkness in the lyrics/vocals.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

I don't think I have ever hear "Within you without you" before... I could have sworn I had listened to this album before, but I must have only listened to the A-side. "When I am Sixty-Four" is great. "Lovely Rita"- Are the Beatles boot-lickers? I want to rewatch "Across the Universe". There are so many little nods to this album in the show. "A Day in the Life" Is a bit too on the nose for me this week, but damn it is good.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

It’s Rush! Not my favorite album by them, but is quite good.

Really not a fan. This is my least favorite album so far.

Its Elvis, nothing to complain about.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

I forgot to take notes while listening...

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

5/5

I am a huge fan of this from the first track. I love the driving baseline. Lyrics are poignant. There is sounds that play at the end of each track before getting cut... It doesn't lead into the next track, wonder what it is for.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

4/5

A very good example of 60's rock.

Moby Grape

3/5

Seemed to be in the CCR vein of rock

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

Melancholy, Morrissey has such a haunting voice.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

I haven't listened to a ton of Elvis Costello. I enjoyed this album, very one note... it might just be the dynamics of a-side vs b-side, but i enjoyed the first 6 songs way more than the rest.

Garbage

4/5

Absolutely loved the 90's grunge vibe. Felt a lot like Eve 6 with the hard cuts in the sound of the music.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

3/5

It was fine, not amazing. Seemed like Sarah McLachlan.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Fuck YES!

Sail Away

Randy Newman

2/5

You got a friend in me... I actually don't like his voice, it is very round, if that makes sense. The lyrics were also just meh. That said I like the feeling I get while listening to the albums.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

Its' fine, its just a cooing lovey album

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

I enjoy the RHCP, but I am not sure what they are doing on this list. I lost track of how many times the lyric "suck my dick" was sung.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

4/5

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

Some of the lyrics are a stretch: "They expect you to give a check to a tax deductible organization"

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

2/5

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

80's electro-pop with a dark edge. I love that the music video for the band was banned in the US for Annie Lennox being a "Transvestite" out to confuse the youths.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

2/5

Blues never really did it for me, especially instrumental.

Harvest

Neil Young
