Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

Some classics I recognize like Band on the Run and Let me roll it

Third

Portishead

1/5

Not for me

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

Some excellent Beetles classics - good to listen to it in its entirety

Live!

Fela Kuti

2/5

Funky, good musicians but didn't hold my attention (live albums make good background noise)

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

3/5

Ethereal synthesizer for over an hour

Solid Air

John Martyn

2/5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

Very good!

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

2/5

Not my type of music and no tunes I recognized... maybe I wasn't in the mood for it

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

Dylan is someone I should spend more time with. I think his lyrics are very good, but his music almost sounds like spoken poetry at times. Will revisit and re-listen (to this and other albums)

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

some gooders I knew like "call me al". cool to hear the south african influence, but all in all not an overly memorable album

Soul Mining

The The

5/5

Cool sound! Sounds like it could be the inspiration for modern punk sound.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Immigrant song! Others kinda merged together

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

2/5

Not good. Disjointed sound that was discordant and somewhat whiny?

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

A nice and easy album to listen to. No one song stood out, but she has a great voice! Will want to check out other stuff by her

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

1/5

Too grungy for me, not something I enjoyed listening to

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

not a standout album, solid listening but nothing I feel compelled to return to

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

Elvis

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Very Dylan - no standout tracks to my ears, a lot of them kind of blur together when listening in the background

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

2/5

important themes, not my go-to for type of music

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

3/5

Festive, not my usual. I appreciated hearing it but don't think I'd come back to it

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Very nice chill album, she's great!

Marquee Moon

Television

nothing much to say about it, solid album without any standouts

Easy listening

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Cool to listen to after playing the songs on guitar hero for years

3/5

Like imagine, everything else faded into itself

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

I know 'like a rolling stone', but didn't vibe with any others - something about Dylan I just don't get

Nixon

Lambchop

5/5

Easy listening, interesting and fun!

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

2/5

Deteriorated as I listened

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

Some good Beetles songs that don't make the top charts. Solid album

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

2/5

couldn't hold my attention. skipped to damage goods, and was underwhelmed. totally understand how this inspired music i like today, but it's not my cup of tea

New York Dolls

2/5

loud rock, but nothing that I could latch onto

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

3/5

can appreciate it for what it is, i just have never been into metal. i can tell this is good metal, but there's nothing that sticking. But I liked Snuff!

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

2/5

one of the easier to listen to albums i've recently been recommended by the list. not saying i like it, but at least it wasn't pushing me away. A lot of it melds together, giving it a soundtrack feels. Overall is a weirder album. No standouts

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

A mellow and pleasant album. Nick's voice is textured and the songs are soft and well crafted. His biography adds to the intrigue. I enjoyed listening to it, but doubt I would ever re-listen to it unprompted.

Roots

Sepultura

1/5

Interesting to read how a death metal band incorporated indigenous Brazilian music and themes into an album to represent their heritage. Not at all for me

Street Life

The Crusaders

2/5

Easy listening, nothing stood out and I doubt I'd ever come back to it.
