My Bloody Valentine
2/5
I appreciate the sounds they were making especially given the timeframe. They were obviously pushing the limits of the traditional rock sound, however, it's not a style I would go back to.

The Monks
4/5
What a weird and wonderful album. Can definitely feel the roots of punk rock and psychedelic in this album. Some songs sound like they could directly be the queens of the stone age

The Rolling Stones
4/5
Super rugged and dirty R&B sound. Nice album front to back.

Iggy Pop
2/5
This is the type of music I expect to be playing on the stereo when I walk into a room full of people laying on the floor doing heroin. It's not really my style but was an interesting album nonetheless.
