The White Album

Beatles

5/5

This album is very long! And 90% of it is my favorite music of all time. The other 10% inspired some of the most horrific murders of all time. You win some you lose some.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

2/5

Love Marvin Gaye, love his voice, but this album is extraordinarily repetitive

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

5/5

The name of the band in conjunction with the album title made me laugh and the actual music radiates joy. Weirdly reminds me of The Rolling Stones. Highly enjoyable.

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

5/5

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is a classic and I really loved every song that followed it. I don’t know why these goofy voices are so enjoyable but they are.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Heads Will Roll - best song of all time? Dull Life, Runaway, Hysteric, and Little Shadow all great

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

4/5

It’s good! It’s funky!

Rocks

Aerosmith

2/5

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

Obviously Bob

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

2/5

Love Marvin Gaye, love his voice, but this album is extraordinarily repetitive

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

Theremin out the gate! Each song on its own has a good chill vibe, but to listen to straight through was too much. Put me in a trancelike state, and I mean that in a bad way. Still has my respect though.

The White Album

Beatles

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

4/5

I personally hate the summertime blues song because I was forced to sing it over and over in elementary school. Other than that this band kind of rules. I had never heard of them but apparently they kind of started heavy metal. I probably won’t listen to this album much but I respect it. Talented musicians and all that. The drum solo and bass line in Second Time Around are fun.

Night Life

Ray Price

2/5

Not bad but not my fave. If I’m going to listen to music like this I’m going to reach for a different album. It’s fine. Don’t love his vibrato.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

5/5

90s goodness. I’ve heard of this band but never actually listened to their music. I love it!

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

5/5

The name of the band in conjunction with the album title made me laugh and the actual music radiates joy. Weirdly reminds me of The Rolling Stones. Highly enjoyable.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Scottish 90s dream pop? I had a headache today and this music healed it.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

A lot of hits!

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

This cd is long and I can see why my mother banned it from the car. Two songs made me laugh out loud literally, some obvious classics from my youth, and a lot of songs I’ll never listen to again. Not my fave but I feel compelled to respect this ridiculous band because of my childhood. But not TOO much respect.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

3/5

I liked the music but can only handle one song at a time, not a whole album. Not their fault.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

5/5

Loved his voice, loved the instrumentation or whatever it’s called. Too sleepy for an everyday album but good for some easy listening on the right day.

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

Loretta Lynn

4/5

Really good stuff from Loretta. Some real bangers but also some snoozes.

The Modern Lovers

5/5

Never heard of them but I loved it.

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

3/5

The band rocks but I don’t love the vocals. An interesting voice that I can only handle a little bit of at a time. I liked the last song “Jenny” though.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

The Clash are such a weird band and I love them.

Kenya

Machito

4/5

Big band Afro-Cuban jazz! Truly enjoyable.

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

4/5

Happy, easy listening. Good for the background of another activity.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

3/5

When this album is quiet I love it and when it gets loud I stop loving it. Loved the first song with my whole heart though. Broken Heart and Cool Waves were also gorgeous. It’s obnoxious to say but it felt very Lynchian to me!

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

5/5

Shining Star and Reasons are so great. The whole album is just right on. Even the album cover is perfect.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Every song sounds the same, but honestly, I liked the vibe.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

I can see why people like this, but I am not those people. Maybe I’m old now but this is definitely the “noise” and “racket” that people have been complaining about through the years. The first song had a mini song in it that I liked. I truly didn’t hate the album but I didn’t like it. Giving it two stars because at this point I’m pretty confused about ratings if I’m being honest.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

4/5

Really good! Kind of a strange mashup of country/acid trip/Beatles/bob dylan but ultimately very enjoyable.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

2/5

Maxwell has a great voice but this music is too chill for me to listen to without getting sleepy. Appreciate his whole deal though. I’m just a sleepy person.

Caetano Veloso

4/5

Really good 60s vibe

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

More Beatles-y than I expected. I liked approximately 60% of the album, but Sunny Afternoon is one of my all time favorite songs.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

5/5

Listened to this on the right day with the right mood. ‘Twas kismet.

New Wave

The Auteurs

5/5

Never heard of this band but they are a new favorite. Death Cabbish but slightly grungier.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

Bummertown, USA. I love depressing music but this was intolerable sludge.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

Gorgeous. I was sleepy and this was a blissful listen.

Imagine

John Lennon

5/5

Really really good. Oh Yoko and I Don’t Wanna be a Soldier were a bit too repetitive for me, and I’ve heard Imagine so many times I could scream, but I gotta give it up because it’s a great song.

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

A classic album from the early aughts. Their hits somehow never get old.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

5/5

Perfect as expected

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

Digsy’s Dinner and Married with Children were fun, and the rest of the songs weren’t bad exactly, but I found it irritating to listen to.

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

5/5

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is a classic and I really loved every song that followed it. I don’t know why these goofy voices are so enjoyable but they are.

Berlin

Lou Reed

4/5

Loved most of it. The baby crying was absolute torture though. And the parts of songs that were just kind of noise? No thanks. But his voice is perfect and, for the most part, the songs made me feel like I was in a dream.

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

A classic. Every song is good.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

4/5

Some really good songs but each one was too long? So it kind of dragged. But I liked it.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

5/5

My fave.
