My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

1/5

Fuck Kanye.

Virgin Suicides

Air

5/5

Oh man I loved this movie. This is a wild album that is definitely bringing images from the movie into my head, but is still a really solid fascinating album all on it's own.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

I love the opening fanfare. I want an opening fanfare at all times please. I’m not usually a huge fan of live albums, too much screaming from the audience and it doesn’t always flow as well as it would in person. James Brown is clearly playing to the audience and they are eating it up. This is fun, but I’d rather listen to a studio album from James Brown.

Forever Changes

Love

2/5

This album starts out sounding exactly like 1967. I’d probably be super into it if it had less of a horn section...

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

OOH. JONI MITCHELL Ah, this is where the that weird Christmas song is from.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Now I just feel like watching a bunch of movies...

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

Solid. Great guitar work. No idea before this that I Shot The Sheriff was an Eric Clapton song.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

1/5

Fuck Kanye.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

5/5

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

4/5

I know I’ve hear The Look of Love, but I couldn’t have pulled the band name ABC out of anywhere. Solid 80s album.

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

2/5

I’m not super into reggae so this didn’t quite do it for me.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

Is this a song about shopping? Ok then. How 80s. Let's go to the mall! Oh now a song about a sugar daddy. Live your best life Pet Shop Boys. Overall, eh? It feels pretty repetitive. Probably not adding it to my rotation.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

2/5

VERY 1985. I feel like I'm in an 80s drama. Now we're in smooth jazz? This album feels all over the place. Eh. Not really my jam.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

2/5

Oof. Right off the bat it's a little more hardcore punk than I prefer. Closer to metal than I'd like. A lot of yelling. Yeah... not for me.

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

4/5

Fascinating music with an occasional side swipe of intense 90s pop.

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

This is a fun album.

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

I respect a three track album. This was a lot of fun.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

Is this a song about TV dinners? Did I accidentally switch to a Weird Al album? Not quite my jam. The spotify radio that came on after the album was pretty solid though.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

Some real classics in here. Ah... that loops lovely.

Virgin Suicides

Air

5/5

Oh man I loved this movie. This is a wild album that is definitely bringing images from the movie into my head, but is still a really solid fascinating album all on it's own.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Oh we're having a good old high school flashback with this album. Looking forward to what this does to my Spotify recommends.

OK Computer

Radiohead

2/5

I've never quite gotten the hype of Radiohead. I feel like I need better speakers than the crappy laptop ones to really appreciate this, but here we are.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

5/5

YESSSSSSSSSSS. SHRED THAT GUITAR.

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

3/5

Very 80s. The spotify bio describes the artist as a grittier Prince. I see that to a point. Dude's got a lovely voice. It should be noted that this artist now goes by Sananda Maitreya.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

A lot of jazz notes happening here. A lot of horns... Not a lot of vocals? Huh. "Seven Days Too Long" - No means no, Dexys Midnight Runners.

Rage Against The Machine

2/5

Not my cup of tea. Look, I get why a lot of angry teenagers discover RATM and are all in immediately. It is a strong (often misinterpreted, looking at you republicans...) message and certainly conveys the emotional side.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

1/5

This was a rough day to catch up... Again, not my cup of tea. I am an indie rock girl at heart and I need to accept that. Too much yelling. Too much dissonance.

Palo Congo

Sabu

3/5

This was fun.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

1/5

This feels like the most generic 80s music ever.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

The first album I ever bought myself was not this one, but it was Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. This is a great flashback.

Vivid

Living Colour

2/5

Oh no. This is the dumb wrestler's entrance music. Oh no. No wonder that song has over 82 million plays... This has colored this whole album... 80s rock isn't quite for me.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

1/5

Eh.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

4/5

This is A LOT. And I feel like I need to listen to it in my dad's basement with the good speakers and a glass of whiskey to fully appreciate it.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

3/5

From the album cover I thought this was going to be death metal. Color me surprised.
