5/5

All time classic. Brought me back to my middle school days.

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

Damn, what a rock-solid album. I really like his sound, very relaxed and comforting.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

feels like I should have heard this before

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

2/5

good but not so much my thing I think

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

2/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

This sounds way more modern than it is. Sufjan Stevens vibes.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

Good, weird to discover that queen had a sound besides epic rock opera - a few of the tracks were surprising

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Virgin Suicides

Air

2/5

What an out of the blue recommendation. It was ok I guess, relaxed, but nothing special. I imagine some of the significance has to do with the movie? The last song with the voiceover is pretty dope and has inspired me to give the book a read.

Queens of the Stone Age

Queens Of The Stone Age

4/5

I dug this, would go back and listen. Good post-Nirvana grungy ish sound

Forever Changes

Love

2/5

Very 60s psychedelic....nothing amazing but easy listening. A little twee at times which I don't like so much, but cool. Probably won't go back to this one which makes it a 2/5.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

3/5

Great working music, non-ironically Just good metal.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

I really didn't want to like this as much as I do because I always thought of myself as someone who wasn't a Radiohead fan. But yea, it's pretty great.

Yeezus

Kanye West

4/5

Really enjoyed it this time around. I feel like every time I listen to it it gets better.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

It's just nothing special. There seem to be a lot of these from the 60s/70s on this list where they kind of go in one ear and out the other with no impact.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

Truth

Jeff Beck

4/5

This album is blowing me away. The vocals are fantastic, I was expecting another boring 60's album that I've heard 1,000 times before but this is great - bluesy, rocky, excellent

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

2/5

I would give this 1.5 stars if I could, but I'll round up. It's weird, but not actively offensive.

Violent Femmes

2/5

I like the vocals for the most part and there's some catchy songs, but I don't think I'm really compelled by this. Also some of the stuff is a little too sophomoric for my taste.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

The guitar riffs are pretty awesome, but the vocals are not my thing, too high-pitched and...not good. I am debating giving it a 3 just for the great guitar. Also: Everyone is calling this punk??!? Do I not know what punk is??

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Pretty great, the title track is amazing, not sure I will really go back to it though, but will still give it a 4 because I'm not a perfect human being

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Yea I mean this is pretty great.

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

I loved it, great background music

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

Californication
