Fuck yeah! I knew I had skills for picking winners. Bought this in '92 and couldn't stop playing it...even when other classmates said it was garbage....I was like...you're garbage. Boom...roasted. 5 stars.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

Much more funky than I remember Steely Dan being. Enjoyable, but not a go to album for me.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

Only 8 years in the business. This album is raw and his showmanship skills are evident the way he interacts with the crowd. Love this album.

A Seat at the Table

Solange

4/5

Erykah Badu vibes. SOulful and chill. Will listen to more of her material.

Heard this when it was released. Ridiculously enjoyable and authentic. One of my go to albums when I'm looking for something different.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

Hell yes! Peter Gabriel vibe, but different. Love this album. Even though you have been here since 2006...Welcome to 2021, Mr. Elbow. Really good album.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

2/5

Really Hard for a Monday Morn. Solid beats, but I just couldn't get into it. I will shelf this one for later. Update: Not my genre, baby, but I get the appeal and I like it...just not that much.

Play

Moby

Good album to turn on and let it play. Love me some Moby. Gwen Stefani....very enjoyable.

Enjoyable. Big influence on Punk. Never heard of them until now.

Madness

3/5

Not available on Spotify....Sad face. Listened to other albums by Madness. I think I would have enjoyed this. Update...my kids were super dissappointed that I wasn't smarter(common problem). Told me to listen to it on youtube. 80s sound with creative tweaks. Nice change of pace.

Grace

Listened to this during my college days. Forgot how wonderful it is.

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

4/5

Tom Waits is quirky, weird, and does not follow any rules. His music always feels good.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

The Beatles pushed music to where it is now. This album is undervalued.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

1/5

I know this is a good album. It being on this list supports that, but I did not care for it. Too bad he dies so young.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

70s glam rock. Glad I now know about Sparks.

I would like to come back to this album in the future. Have heard one offs by the CBs, but never an album beginning to end.

Queen

2/5

I have Queen favorites. These are not it.

Killing Joke

4/5

Right mood at the right time. The album hits pretty hard to listen to at work, but it happened to work for me on this day. This album is fantastic. Music is so much about current mood. DIG IT!

Imagine

John Lennon

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

5/5

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

3/5

I was going to gloss over this and glad I did not. Super enjoyable to put on and do other things. Hopefully that is not a put down...it isn't in my book.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

Not your father's Beach Boys. Pretty creative and different for a 17th album. Breaks the Beach Boys pop mold. Hmmm. Interesting.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

Two songs, too good. Generational talent.

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

Heard about Rufus, but never listened to him. Good sound. Alt-music. I'm intrigued.

5/5

1957....Magic, baby. I will never oooh and aahhhh with my semantics or musical terms, but this is beautiful.

My Generation

The Who

4/5

Never spent much time on The Who. Glad this generator made me. Excellent debut album that was a trend setter.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Surprising how much Parliament has influenced and been sampled by hip hop/pop/all music. Fantastic! I love the concept of putting black people in situations that were never thought of before...Mothership, baby! WOO!

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

Put it on and listen. Masterpiece.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

2/5

Record Mirror in the UK awarded the album two stars out of five, deriding it as, "The same nothingy vocals, the same jangly guitar, the same plodding beat on almost every track. The Byrds really must try to get some different sounds." I agree with this statements.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

I needed this so bad today. This dudes the fucking King. I need more stars...raw, authentic, fuck you. Yes!

Club Classics Vol. One

1/5
