Popular Reviews

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

How is it possible that I did not have this album. Truly a crime. Great -- super mellow and groovy. Sunday morning wake up music.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake

Not my favorite flavor of Nick Drake, but useful from a completist perspective.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 28 2021

Good start. Of course, heard this one many times. Bitchin' album start to finish.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Feb 01 2021

Listened many times. Genre defining.

Purple Rain by Prince
Feb 03 2021

What, are you kidding?

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 05 2021

Just heard this for the first time recently. Great songwriting and arrangement. No questions as to why this is on the list.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Feb 08 2021

Fun, quirky stuff.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Feb 09 2021

Adorable. Way more interesting than one would expect, despite no songs I was familiar with going in.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Feb 10 2021

Splendid stuff. Don't usually go for Afrobeat, but really enjoyable.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Feb 11 2021

Dreamy, haunting.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 12 2021

Sets the stage for everything else.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Feb 15 2021

Did not know this one. Definitely a window into a era.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Feb 16 2021

My first exposure to Brazilian Pop. A+.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 17 2021

How is it possible that I did not have this album. Truly a crime. Great -- super mellow and groovy. Sunday morning wake up music.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Feb 22 2021

Nice, but didn't really grab me in any special way.

No Other by Gene Clark
Feb 23 2021

Fine, but did not really grab my attention.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 25 2021

Fun stuff. Takes me back. Not something I'll listen to regularly, probably.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Mar 01 2021

Pretty enjoyable intro into Indian music.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Mar 02 2021

I have heard this one.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Mar 04 2021

A ton of fun. The hits were great, but a number of other tunes I'd never heard that frankly never got their due.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 08 2021

Great album that I had not heard in a while.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Mar 09 2021

Not my favorite flavor of Nick Drake, but useful from a completist perspective.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Mar 11 2021

Fun. Not sure it's a must listen. Humpty Dance is enjoyable for sure.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 12 2021

Another glaring omission. Not what I expected at all.

Doolittle by Pixies
Mar 15 2021

Heard it. Great.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Mar 16 2021

Solid indie-rock album. But never heard it.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Mar 17 2021

Not for everybody, but enjoyable.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 19 2021

First Ryan Adams album for me. Pretty groovy/rocky for what I'd been led to believe was a folk influenced artist.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Mar 25 2021

Weird late 60s psychadelia.

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 29 2021

A good 'un.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 31 2021

Great. Hadn't heard this in many years.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Apr 08 2021

Ok. Didn't really grab me, but fine for a background listen.
