Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

2/5

Lots of polyphony which was interesting, but not fun to listen to a lot of the time. It was not my cup of tea. She's interesting and definitely a musical pioneer. It just wasn't enjoyable for me.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Not a fan of the twangy vocals/guitar, but I like the driving piano and the harmonies. I liked the piano. Much more folksy compared to normal Rolling Stones. Not really my style though- sounded too much like white people blues.

Fleet Foxes

5/5

LOVED IT!!!!

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

4/5

It sounded exactly like what you would expect! It was a good time, but I didn't recognize any of the songs.

Me Against The World

2Pac

3/5

Pretty vulgar but he's a hell of a rapper.

John Prine

2/5

Not my favorite

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

4/5

Cool vibes. Good background music. Pretty chill but not too much. Unique. I like it!

Manassas

Stephen Stills

4/5

I really liked this album! Great guitar solos. Great sound. Good vocals. Great rock album. I think I like this better than Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young stuff.

Technique

New Order

4/5

I liked the sound. Good background music. Pretty chill.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

It was fine. Good background music. Sounds like what you would expect from the Kinks. Interesting Album. Probably wouldn't listen again.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

Many of the tracks weren't available on Spotify. Skipped a few that I didn't like because it just wasn't my style. I really liked Embryonic (featured in the finale of Friends!) and White Rabbit. Mixed feelings on this album. The ones liked I really liked, the ones I didn't like I REALLY didn't like.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

3/5

Weird. Twangy. Eh.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

Fantastic Blues Album. Lots of fun. Definitely listen if you are in the mood for some blues.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

4/5

Very interesting album. It kind of reminded me of a very older more fabulous version of Cake. The last couple tracks were more reminiscent of broadway and New York showtunes though, so that was a fun surprise. I don't know if I would listen to it again but it was definitely unique.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

5/5

It is a classic, and it's pretty much flawless.

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

I like the Cure's songs and their music but I don't really like their vocals. Every time I listen to them, after a few songs I've usually had enough. I get why other people like them though. I have a lot of respect for their sound.

Repeater

Fugazi

2/5

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

Nice sound. Groovy, Rock, Good background music.

Talking Book

Included superstition. Skipped a couple of tracks that were weird but overall I liked it.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

1/5

Skipped. Motorhead stresses me out.

4/5

This album was all over the place and I enjoyed it. Last track was kind of stressful though and a few weren't available on Spotify.

The Stooges

1/5

Did not like it

The Joshua Tree

3/5

The first half of the album I have heard before and have loved for years, the rest was far less memorable.

808 State

1/5

Late 80's electronica. Not for me.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Eh. Instrumentals were kinda boring. Songs that weren't instrumentals were rather forgettable. It was fine for background if I'm in a funky mood but definitely wasn't my favorite.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

4/5

Groovy! Raggae? Nice sound. I enjoyed it.

Time Out Of Mind

Blue

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Fine and funky.

Californication

An old stand-by for me. I love RHCP. Bass player is one of the best there is, and this is one of my favorite albums of theirs.

All Directions

The Temptations

I mean, its the Temptations so I don't want to rate it too low- but this album is none of my favorite songs.

Quicksilver Messenger Service

2/5

Nope

Sparks

2/5

I was not a fan. This got weird and it was hard to keep track fo who the singers and band even were because the sound/voices kept changing. Not for me.

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

Definitely early alternative? Kind of reminded me of the clash or cure? Not bad, but I am not sure I would listen again.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

2/5

Lots of polyphony which was interesting, but not fun to listen to a lot of the time. It was not my cup of tea. She's interesting and definitely a musical pioneer. It just wasn't enjoyable for me.
