The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

The melodies and counter melody play with guitar and bass are awesome. Beautiful voice, good feeling. Fun music. Run to the Hills got me hooked on Iron Maiden.

Talvin Singh

5/5

"The world is sound" Great eastern tonalities and rhythm that mix in with hard driving beats. Pulls in a lot of eastern music (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, etc) Great beats.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

5/5

Great live album. Vast majority of this album playa on radio already. Good songwriter, connects with the audience and he sounds like he is having fun at this show in SF. Frampton understands his craft and changes the gimmick of his voice box into more than that. He doesn't overuse it, but it becomes part of his toolbox.

Pink Flag

Wire

5/5

Amazing. True punk. Can hear all the influence on music through the decades. Catchy, long, short. Has it all. Three Girl Rhumba stopped me and my jaw dropped. Had no idea where that riff came from. Loved Field Day for the Sundays. Totally content with a 28 second song. Damn, how amazing.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

5/5

Eno is entirely eclectic and absolutely brilliant. His use of sound is intriguing, interesting, and incredible. This album is a flowing journey that is calculated yet improvised and all things contradictory.

Horses

Patti Smith

5/5

Beautifully unbeautiful. Raw. Punk. Lyrically magnificent, sonically tense that resolves and pushes.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

5/5

Great beats. Perfect music to crank out work. High energy, nothing out of place.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

5/5

Raw sound. Can see where the emulation of others comes in. Good songwriting.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

The Stones doing the Stones better than anyone else can do the Stones. Absolutely kick ass aside with a B side that drives and rocks to match. I remember when I first pulled this album out on vinyl. Magnificent cover had a working zipper and it didn't even match the quality of the album.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

The melodies and counter melody play with guitar and bass are awesome. Beautiful voice, good feeling. Fun music. Run to the Hills got me hooked on Iron Maiden.

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

4/5

Solid European vibes. Easy to work to. Interesting vocal choices, intriguing decisions on the clips used between songs.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Smooth flow. Game changing beats. Very relaxed and an incredible play off each others' strengths. All 3 voices flow so smoothly. As they say: "We got the vibe"

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Good punk album. Melodies flow nicely and the voice comes in over top.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

4/5

Great melodies, solid voice and lines. Very classic 70s disco sound.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

5/5

A little strange, noisy at times. Would have been fun to be there - probably a party! Lots of great ideas heard throughout. Amazing how tight they groove for a love album. Tremendous musicianship - can see predictors for hard prog-rock groups. Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs.

Black Metal

Venom

4/5

Thrash metal. Screaming and loud - very big. Would be great to lift to. Solid melody. Fast drums. Solid guitar. It must be boring to write all your songs about exactly the same thing. A clear setup for Metallica.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

5/5

Super bluesy. JM is unbelievable. So far yet super controlled. Great band lockin. They are so tight together to allow Morrison to do what he do. The opening (Changeling) is great and contrasts well A side close with LA Woman B side close with Riders on the Storm.

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

4/5

It's fine. Solid 90s alt rock. It doesn't seem that anything about this album is super special.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

5/5

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

5/5

Wild Gift

5/5

Solid punk album. Good sound, songs are happily 3 minutes. Songs are happily 75 seconds. Good melodies, fun listen.

Pink Flag

Wire

5/5

Virgin Suicides

Air

5/5

Magnificent soundscapes. Builds tension without being unbearable. Great use of sound and flow.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

4/5

Very smooth voice. Music is a little smooth jazz/smooth country vibe. Great vocal melodies.

Talvin Singh

5/5

"The world is sound" Great eastern tonalities and rhythm that mix in with hard driving beats. Pulls in a lot of eastern music (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, etc) Great beats.

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

5/5

Fun album. Good voice, spectacular lyrics.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

Run DMC is on fire. Lyrics are so smooth, both MCs are locked in. JamMasyer Jay's beats are incredible. Flow is good for album choices. Great classic rap/hip hop group and album.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

4/5

A little disjointed, beat lyrics, neat melodies

Crazysexycool

TLC

5/5

What a monster R&B album. Amazing. What is more surprising is the special guests on songs...and how they are titled with their "old" names. Great intricate chemistry between these 3.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

5/5

This is one of my favorites ever. Manu Chao is an absolute party - incredible talent, catchy, great melodies, spectacular use of language. And a damn good concert.
