The Renaissance

Q-Tip

2/5

idk what it is about him, but i just can never fully get with Q-Tip. Just like with most things I've experienced from him, there are a lot of good things, a lot to like. But it's never the whole thing. Just parts of this song, or this approach, but not the subject matter.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

I liked this one. Had a lot of songs I'd already heard before, but never consciously new were by them or from this album.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

Already listened to this one while going through Rolling Stones top 100 albums of all time a few years ago before they did the recent update. It's great, but I still like the Beach Boys better than the Beatles 🤷🏾‍♀️

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

this didn't grab me in any way. it was fine, but it just sounded like a period of time.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

3/5

I didn’t hate this one actually a lot of good songs and I was surprised how many I’d already heard. Name of the album and the album cover is pretty cool.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

obviously not my first listen, but this was a lot better than i remembered it. I keep 'Alright' in pretty standard rotation and always remembered loving "i", but not the album version. wish it wasn't this live rendition for that song on this album

Dummy

Portishead

1/5

I looked the album up and it seems to be revered so I get that people like it but for me the girl's voice is off key I couldn’t enjoy it, I think maybe someone else should’ve sang the songs, or vocal lessons should've been demanded.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

The Happening The end of this song got me and then I went back and relistened and yeah this is a banger. I like the album overall but don’t know that’d I’d play it regularly. But this one song made it to playlists. Had it on repeat all day. I watched a video of them performing it and read the comments. Apparently the lead singer and the woman in the band, Kim, had beef? This literally all happened when I was 1 years old, but decades later it's fascinating getting into it all. Probably one of my favorite parts of doing this project.

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

2/5

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

i can't lie, i don't think folk music is for me. that one song that sounded like harmonizing frogs was on and i stopped at the light and the dude driving the car next to me looked at me like i was crazy. i didn't even realize i was bumping it like that. never need to hear this again.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

2/5

didn't mind this one, i really liked Backdrifts, The Bloaming, and There, there

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor

Lupe Fiasco

3/5

this grew on me. im surprised i'd never took the time to listen to this. for some reason lupe has just never been my favorite. i've liked some songs, i've liked some verses, but could never get with him totally. i still feel the same after this, but i did add quite a few songs to playlists so that's something!

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

2/5

i didn't really LOVE anything until the last song. but it was all like solid. idk not usually what i would listen to any way.

The Band

1/5

not for me

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

good bbq/cookout, sunday cleaning music.

Rio

Duran Duran

2/5

the last two tracks of the album, saving a prayer and chauffeur, were my favs but i wasn't miserable during the songs before. this was funkier than i expected. i've heard of the band, but wasn't sure what it would sound like. the cover gave me nothing, no hints.

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

1/5

i've never heard of this band or album. they have three black people on their album cover, so i was confused to find out they were not that. but i let it go, and then i heard "i was huntin for n--gas down in the dark" and on another song "left the n**** lying dead by the river." don't think i was ever gonna love this one.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

3/5

i was expecting this to sound totally different based on the genre, album title, name of the band, everything, but it was actually really nice! i loved 'Inner Flight' and really like Come Together.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

damn my first Yeah Yeah Yeahs album. I don't even know if I've ever even heard a song by them, but damn this was amazing. No skips really, but Rich, Date w/the night, No no no, and Y Control really stood out to me.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

2/5

like a few songs on this, but over all it felt like 6 different albums. A lot of the songs sounded like he was making his version of someone else songs. I feel like he was in search of his voice and he was searching for it by trying on others' voices.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

2/5

Not usually the type of music I'd listen to, but not totally out of my league. Apredendo a jogar stood out.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

1/5

this one didn't touch me. nothing really stood out

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

1/5

didn't hate but noting stood out. played like BG music for me

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

5/5

I was really digging this. it was giving me early Beach Boys but with Girls too.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

2/5

this one was ok! never heard of these folks. will prob not listen again as nothing made it to a playlist

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

I liked it as bg music, but i like other songs by them better than what i heard here.

The Specials

2/5

i listened to this at my standing desk so it had me moving a bit but will likely never hear again

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

2/5

crazy how much led zep im getting. i just get led zep ll a few albums ago. I think I liked this one better, but not by a lot. i thought the album cover was interesting though. wanted to know why they chose it.

Dog Man Star

Suede

1/5

this felt long, which isn't a good sign for an album lol

Kanye West

5/5

Fuzzy Logic

2/5

Never heard of this band or album, but enjoyed. Listened twice.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

1/5

first listen, don’t think I’m in the space to really care for this project right now. I did enjoy the last song, which was the only song I’d heard from it before
