69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

1/5

So awful. Even skipping part-way through songs, I couldn't further than 8-9 songs.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

One of my favorites, rings of childhood for me

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

2/5

Awful sound quality. Shocked to learn Huey Lewis playing harmonica at one show. Standouts include Southbound, Jailbreak, Still in love with you, and The Rocker.

The Yes Album

Yes

Meh

Pretenders

1/5

Sometimes there's a reason you've only ever heard one song from an ablum.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

I've dabbled in Cohen here and there but had not heard any of this album. Fantastic. I listened twice and will likely again.

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

Wow, just really, really good! I'm reserving my 5 star ratings for the best of the best of the best, but this is close. First time hearing this and I'm so glad I did.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

1/5

Musically melodic and interesting, however the droning, nasal, whiney, indiscernible lyrics made this nearly unlistenable.

Tical

Method Man

2/5

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

Palo Congo

Sabu

I liked Rhapsodia Del Maravilloso. The rest was not for me.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

4/5

Fantastic and fun pop album. Martin Fry's vocals are outstanding.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Of course, a classic. 4 and 1/2 stars because of "Octopuses Garden" .. sweet Christmas.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

1/5

Houdini and Get Out Of My House were listenable. Apart from that, utter rubbish. Another 1001 albums bomb. Maybe there aren't 1001 albums you should hear. Or, maybe some are here just to show us how bad music can be.

Metallica

4/5

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

A classic rock-opera masterpiece.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5
