The kind of music your friend listens to because a girl he likes told him she liked it.

2/5

It’s impossible to deny the talent behind this album, but it is very much the definition of “not for me”

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Stand out: Super Stupid and Maggot Brain

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

I have to be in a Thin Lizzy mood to appreciate them and I currently am not.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

1/5

I don’t think I enjoyed a single song on this album

Soul Mining

The The

4/5

Not in my usual genre wheelhouse, but I enjoyed it. Big fan of the vocals and the way the songs build up. Only song I don’t like is The Twilight Hour. Would give it a 4.5 if cowardly half stars were allowed.

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

2/5

It’s got the meme song Enjoyed some instrumentals But it’s not for me.

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

I kind of want to give this port-punk, rockabilly, organ and yodeling, surf rock music a 4 just for being so weird, but it’s not quite there.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

The Californication music video terrified me as a child.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

Nothing stuck with me, but it wasn’t offensive. Unlike Morrissey

Graceland

Paul Simon

1/5

Absolutely nothing stuck with me. It was like I forgot I listened to it right after I listened to it. But remembered enough to know I didn’t want to hear it again.

Roxy Music

4/5

P. Good 👍

The Stooges

4/5

An all around enjoyable listen.

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

4/5

Extremely catchy

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Hell yeah bro

Live!

Fela Kuti

3/5

4 stars for the music -1 star for Ginger Baker’s hatred of John Bonham.

Fred Neil

3/5

Leans more country than folk which I don’t really like. His voice is kind of boring outside of the performances on Green Rocky Road and That’s the bag I’m in. The last song is an interesting departure from the rest of the album at least. Favorite songs: Green Rocky Road, That’s the bag I’m in

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

Non offensive background music. Is this what easy listening is?

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Raekwon

4/5

I don’t care about Scarface that much.

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

4/5

Possessed, he vomits up the lyrics as an exorcism is banged out in the background.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

Weird for what I think The Beach Boys are, not weird in a way that does it for me.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

I’m not really a big fan of prog outside of Pink Floyd nor do I particularly like Jon Anderson’s voice. However the bass goes bwoom.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

5/5

I tried to get into Fairport Convention when I was a teen after hearing the lady that sung on The Battle of Evermore was in the band. But since they had 20+ albums and Sandy Denny only sang on three of them I was more confused than anything. I wish I had heard this one back then. Absolutely amazing.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

2/5

Elvis’ voice goes back and forth between really good and hilarious because of the prevalence of Presley parodies. Led Zeppelin already existed at this point so he doesn’t get a +1 for Robert Plant loving him.

Spiderland

Slint

3/5

I’ve listened to it twice and I still have no idea if I like it or not.

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

Generic soundtrack music that all blends together.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

I don’t know it’s ABBA it’s fine.
