Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Idk know if this is technically classic rock, but thats what it is in my head. Very fun

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

3/5

Very 60's. Lots of creative sounds and a general feeling of hippy-ness. Not quite my cup of tea, but definitely worth listening to.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Makes me want to do heroin. I know its not supposed too, but it does. This is my type of 60s music. Deep and dark

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

3/5

Rich Spanish guitars, and a passionate voice. I wish I knew what the lyrics were. I enjoyed, but probably won't listen again.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

3/5

I have general troubles listening to lyrics, so this one was pretty tough. A lot easier to listen to while reading the lyrics, because that's where the album shines. I don't think the music was as good, as I felt it to be quite repetitive. I'll listen to this one again.

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Excellent album and a true classic. My only wish was that the album was a bit shorter. I think some songs could be cut. My mom listened to this album a lot, and I've only now realized just how much.

Heroes

David Bowie

5/5

I miss you Bowie...

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

Epic start. For me, this sound defined that decade, even though I wasn't around to hear it.

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

3/5

Interesting southern music.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

I remember Mr. Jolly teaching War Pigs in my religion class. Classic metal album.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

its tricky to place a rate on this great album. Something adidas

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

4/5

Bjorn has a beautiful voice. This was my first time experiencing her and this genre. Big fan!

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

4/5

Avant guard. Feels modern and yet, obviously, it's not. Very post-punk feeling. Damaged Goods 10/10

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Classic pop album. Funky and classic, reminds me a lot of disco.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

The extra tracks at the end really make the album drag. Otherwise the album felt very full. Band on the Run, the single, is very memorable.

Joan Armatrading

5/5

LOVED this album. Felt like another Rumours or something. A couple of awkward transitions between great songs though.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

This music became normal and became boring. Probably the best stuff out at the time, but its age is shown in how normal all of it has become.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

5 star singles though. Defined, imo, the last good rock era

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

Mom and elementary school music for me. Not really my thing

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Excellent voice. Not really my style of accompanying music though

Sail Away

Randy Newman

1/5

Kitsch. The single Political Science does not come across as satire and, imo, highlights the "main character" syndrome Americans have. Arrogant af.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

3/5

MY HEAAAARRRT IIIIIIS DRENCHED IIIIIIN WINE!

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

I love Jazz and I love me some Spanish / southern I dunno what. A bit ambient for me to listen more consciously, but this is top tier room ambience, which is a valid and needed form of music. Underrated, dare I say.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

4/5

Love me some political songs

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

Damn, I didn't expect to not like this album. Felt a bit boring and scattered thematically. The creative licks kept the album alive, but for me it wasn't enough to add cohesion.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

Felt like I witnessed the real time evolution of A Tribe Called Quest

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

4/5

Maybe I need more punk in my life...

Guero

Beck

4/5

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

3/5

Feels like the archetypal country album. I'd like to know more about its context in the scene.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Son of a preacher man fuckin slaps.

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

4/5

dissonant and interesting

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

4/5

She is a lot closer to hiphop than I ever realized

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

Classic Canadian album. Love, loss, coming of age, everything is here.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

Generic rock to me

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

A mid Beatles album is still a very good album

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

very distinctive sound to these guys

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

5/5

Angry. Just how I like my HipHop

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

There are some skips on the album, but that voice is simply incredible. Time After Time and Girls Just Want to Have Fun are absolute era defining bangers.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

You read, you learn. You hear, you learn. You rate, you learn.
