The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan · 1 likes

3/5

Cool, experimental. Important. It was interesting hearing this early version of new wave music, but the songs themselves were a bit too meandery for my taste.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead · 1 likes

5/5

I’m biased because I LOVE Radiohead, but this album captures a lot of what I love about them, especially the contrast between somber moments and crazy, driving, soundscapy moments.

Bad

Michael Jackson

5/5

Solid, great songwriting, great performance by MJ, one of the best albums of the 80’s.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

3/5

A decent blues album. Unfortunately I don’t particularly care for Eric Clapton’s guitar playing.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

5/5

Great listen! So many great moments, some energetic, some poignant and beautiful.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

Some beautiful and heartfelt statements by George Michael.

Wow Norah!!! Beautiful stuff, great songwriting, great performance.

The Pleasure Principle

The Yes Album

Yes

5/5

Fantastic. What a band, what a sound, such great writing and performance by everyone.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Great album, classic, a must-listen for metal heads!

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

A mainstay to the 80’s new wave movement, that absolutely rocks hard!

Paul Simon

4/5

Exquisite songwriting by Paul as usual. Could’ve used some higher energy numbers, but a very good debut effort by him!

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

4/5

I had never listened to a Slipknot album before, and this seems like the perfect place to start! Great metal record, with plenty of contrast and interesting compositions to keep the listener engaged!

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Hey, I get the appeal. It’s a collection of what are now considered classic renditions of Christmas songs, perfectly capturing the sound of the 60’s.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

2/5

This album just felt… half-baked. Like an unfurnished apartment. I needed more than this. Not sure what kind of statement they were trying to make but.. it doesn’t speak to me.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

4/5

Erykah has such a voice, but literally and figuratively. So creative, such a great vocalist, and a great vibe all around.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

What is there to say? An all time classic, a game-changer for the genre of jazz, and a huge leap into the unknown by Trane. 5/5

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Interesting album. Nice sound design. Great for a specific mood, otherwise the album just felt sleepy to me. Very unique sounding though!

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

This album is a classic for a reason. An absolute masterpiece start to finish, amazing compositions and performances by everyone involved. One of the great concept albums.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Very interesting album! Nice blend of African rhythms and 90’s production. I’m really curious as to the meaning behind the lyrics, and will have to do some digging on my own.

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

2/5

Some nice moments, but this album was just lost on me. I didn’t get it, maybe need to understand it in context. Kinda boring. Songwriting didn’t feel that interesting to me.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Decent album. I have no desire to listen to it again, but then it doesn’t help that I’m not the biggest Stones fan. I just don’t find their music very intelligent. Does not speak to me.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

5/5

I’m biased because I LOVE Radiohead, but this album captures a lot of what I love about them, especially the contrast between somber moments and crazy, driving, soundscapy moments.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

4/5

Unexpected great listen! Loved the energy on this record, the songwriting, the way it rocks hard it it’s own way!

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

One of the worst albums I’ve ever heard. Nails on a chalkboard. No clue what it is doing here.

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

3/5

Very silly album. Kinda bizarre. But it had me chuckling.

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

4/5

Was not too familiar with Sheryl Crow’s works before hearing this album. It was truly the perfect introduction to her. Excellent songwriting, a truly original voice.

Boston

5/5

It blows me away that Tom Sholz recorded and produced this album in his basement, in the 70’s, and it sounds like this. Amazing quality, and not to mention Boston ROCKS HARD! I love this album, and it’s a classic for a reason!

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

3/5

I recognize one of the songs from family guy. Other than that, did not know much about this artist going in. Some really nice stuff in here!

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

Incredible album. Alice In Chains, easily one of the greatest rock bands ever, and possibly the greatest grunge band to exist. Great songs, love the dark energy they radiate. Chef’s kiss!

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

3/5

Very interesting album, very experimental.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

Decent stuff, very folksy. Not really my vibe.
