Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

Love it! Definitely a classic alternative album of the early 2000s, and with their very distinctive sound

The Modern Lovers

5/5

I love this album. First heard Pablo Picasso on college radio 10ish years ago and immediately thought - "What is this??" Since then, the album has become a favorite - love all of the Boston references, storytelling, etc. Favorite songs are Pablo Picasso, Hospital, I Wanna Sleep in Your Arms, Old World (but really love all of them)

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

Solid album - 3.5; particularly enjoyed the second half, but still prefer Surfer Rosa

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Solid album, particularly enjoyed the second half. Still prefer Surfer Rosa, but would be interested in giving this album additional listens.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Very funky -- really enjoyed, despite not having listened to much music in the genre before

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

Very 60's. Favorites were This Will Be Our Year and Time of the Season

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

1/5

Blur

3/5

Solid album--would probably improve upon re-listening

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Solid album, though I don't have a lot of knowledge of the genre. Will likely revisit

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

4/5

I really enjoyed this album--clearly I should look at more classics of the shoegaze sub-genre

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

A definite classic

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

A true classic + unique and experimental for the time

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

A couple classics, but would probably require additional listens to grow on me

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

4/5

Great album, even if depressing (pretty standard for Elliott Smith)

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Definitely a classic album, but not really my thing

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

3/5

While I normally love Wilco, and this is a solid album, it's a bit too country for my preferences

Sister

Sonic Youth

4/5

This perfectly matched my mood for Wednesday. Particularly liked Schizophrenia, and the overall noisiness / experimentalism of the album

Low-Life

New Order

4/5

Beautiful album from a band I'd never heard of before. Absolutely get the connection to Joy Division. Elegia and Sub-Culture were particular favorites

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Classic album! Many great songs - Pennies from Heaven, I've Got You Under My Skin, etc.

Future Days

Can

1/5

This album definitely sounds ahead of its time, but is not something I can see myself returning to/seeking out for future listens.

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

2/5

This sounded pretty generic to me - basically elevator music

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Great, unusual album. The title song Blackstar is my favorite.

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Classic Beck. Solid album that would probably improve upon repeat listening

Abraxas

Santana

2/5

Technically a very well-made album, but just doesn't do much for me

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Would probably benefit from repeat listens. Not exactly my cup of tea at the moment.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

1/5

This didn't do anything for me at all. Probably a product of its time.

Dry

PJ Harvey

3/5

Decent - would probably benefit from further listens

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

Love it! Definitely a classic alternative album of the early 2000s, and with their very distinctive sound

The Velvet Underground

5/5

One of my top 5 favorite bands, and second favorite of their albums. No good words to describe it, but the storytelling + the music are excellent

The Stooges

5/5

Really enjoyed this one, particularly I Wanna Be Your Dog. Not sure how I've never listened to this album before, considering the similarities to the Velvet Underground

The Modern Lovers

5/5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

Classic
