Caetano Veloso

4/5

Maybe the best cover art in history? Guy looks like a serial murderer but his music is lovely.

While I dont dislike this, never hearing it wouldn't be one of my life's regrets.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

1/5

Uninspiring and frankly boring. Heard of this band but luckily I never listened before and I won't again. Kind of like deep sea fishing. Only need one go to know it's not for you. And I appreciate that.

Bob Dylan

5/5

A classic.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

2/5

Let's get it on is strong enough to get this off the 1 star floor, and I see Marvin knew what he had there when he went back to the well on the remix (first appearance of a remix?) Anyways, "You sure love to ball" is hilariously pornographic. Marvin gay is talented but this album made me sleepy.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

Pretty cool. Nice beats, sounds brand new. It could be sweet was fav

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Some dumb crap at the end, thought I left a 5 minute long youtube pest control commercial on or something. There are a lot hits on this album, more than i realized.

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

Some tasty licks, no question. With all due respect, I won't be back.

A lot of hits. Easy listening.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

4/5

Thought I was listening to the artic monkeys. Cool.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

1/5

Sucked. I'm sorry nick drake died young, but he said "time has told me" forty times in that first song and I not only disliked it, but I began to feel a rage growing deep inside. Had to turn it off or I might have gotten violent.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

4/5

Totally relatable.

The Modern Lovers

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

Never dove in before. Excellent.

Timeless

Goldie

2/5

I like beats and drums, but unfortunately I was not high enough to enjoy this on a weekday. Maybe once murphy figures out how to sell weed in New Jersey I can come back and reassess.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

I was excited when I saw this selection but I was very underwhelmed. Loved the first few tracks, reminded me of listening to this in like 7th grade. Mustve lost interest after that even back then, because I forgot about the numerous instrumental tracks, which were unremarkable for thr most part. Wanted some beat boxing mc'ing, and while I respect the attempt, not what I was looking for.

The Kinks

3/5

I think I'm supposed to like this but eh

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

Reminded me of Garbage, the band, though I can see if you took that statement literally. Felt like they were trying to annoy me with the droning guitar chords. I felt like I was in a kindergarten classroom and there was a constant underlying hum permeating my conscience. Thought I could hear a good song in there once and a while but couldn't find it long enough to know.. very unpleasant experience.

New Wave

The Auteurs

2/5

Harmless but unremarkable. Fin.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

Fun. Know the guy but never listened.

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

You know what, i didn't like it. Obviously imagine is an important and great song, but outside of that, if i was a Beatles fan and they broke up, I would be disappointed with this solo effort.

Melody A.M.

Remedy

3/5

Need to be in the mood. Like going roller skating.

Hot Buttered Soul

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Excellent. Love the stones.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

I dont know what I thought Jethro Tull was, but I wasn't expecting medieval times rock. But now I at least get what jack black was doing with tenacious d, it was a Jethro Tull bit. Pretty good. But I did not like this.

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

1/5

One of the worst albums I have ever listened to. I have never respected the bee gees and this lowered my opinion.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

3/5

Not really my thing but I liked it. Weird inflection on words sounded like trolling and I appreciate that. I'm a big fan of mispronounced names.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

This album sounded sing songy, like a Broadway play. Probably what they were going for, with the title and all, but I didn't think it was their best stuff. Nick's wedding song and bohemian rhapsody both featured though.

Elliott Smith

4/5

Arrival

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

5/5

I like this.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

1/5

Too sing songy. Like a children's kid bopz album. 9 people harmonizing the entire song. I know that's their thing, and hey, I think those kid bopz albums sell too. But I'm not a customer.

Moon Safari

Air

2/5

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

Good listen.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

I wanted to like this 90s album. I will give it one more chance.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

I remember Nick having this tape and the cover art of the burning guy. I remember not even knowing what the image was, just looked like a bunch of scribbles to me. And the music was scary, specifically "freedom." Reminded me of Derek's cd's, like metallica, pantera, and gwar. Obviously this is a great album, but its message has changed drastically to me these days.

Queens of the Stone Age

3/5

Couple good tracks.
