With The Beatles
Beatles
Early Beatles aren't super complicated and don't hold up by today's standards. I generally don't spend much time on their first three albums as it's too much "I love her and she loves me", but as albums of the era go, this was still one of the best.

Foo Fighters
Foo Fighters
Oh, early Foo! I remember picking this album up at Karma records on Indiana in 1995 when I visited IU as a high school senior. As a big Nirvana kid, I had read that Dave Grohl was spinning up a new band. He'd sung one Nirvana song that had surfaced at the time- Marigold. I didn't know what to expect, but when I spun that CD for the first time I knew it was good. They didn't really get a ton of love until their second album and this first one gets discarded at times in the great Foo pantheon, so I'm glad it made the cut. Props to Grohl for playing all the instruments on this (because the band didn't technically exist when he recorded).

The Wildest!
Louis Prima
What can I say other than it's snappy, energetic and makes you want to dance. Love Louis and his collaborations with Keely Smith and Sam Butera. No one plays high knows like The Lip.

Music From The Penguin Cafe
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
It got better at the end. Not something I'll revisit. Experimental music to be appreciated as such- not as something you actually listen to

Killing Joke
Killing Joke
The opener, "Requiem" was an attention grabber. With the exception of a few noisy interludes in the middle this was an excellent album. It felt about 10 years ahead of its time as its influence on industrial metal and alternative rock are immediately clear. Will definitely revisit this one.

Rid Of Me
PJ Harvey
Not too crazy about the vocals on some songs, but the guitar riffs are catchy.

Sheer Heart Attack
Queen
Sounds like a basic Queen record. Straightforward, generic 70s rock with the band harmonizing at points over each song. Brian May's solos are technically amazing, but generally don't stand out as overly melodic or fun to listen to.

Rings Around The World
Super Furry Animals
I wasn't aware of this one and it turned out to be a very pleasant listen. The mix of songs is very eclectic with each one sounding significantly different than the previous- keeping the listener on their toes. I'll revisit this one for sure.

I liked this more than I thought I would. Still don't like the songs where they bring in the backing vocalists, but the music is solid. Ric Ocasek's voice doesn't really help much.

Not bad. Solid garage rock entry. Iggy does better when he’s yelling than crooning.

Got about two songs in and I backed out. I absolutely can't stand Brian Johnson's voice. The music was solid, but without a good lead singer it falls apart.

Sign 'O' The Times
Prince
This was a bit of a mess. I stopped one song short of the end with "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night". It was just so bad. The first few songs were fine, but then Housequake came on and ruined it. There were a few others in the same vein that just hurt to listen to. I wasn't a Prince fan before this and I'm not one after this.
