4/5

Holy shit! I had no idea I knew so many of these songs or that Harry Nilsson sang them ("put the lime in the coconut.." Classic production from its era. Will add to regular rotation.

Your Arsenal

This isn't my cup of tea.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

Some of these songs sound dated (in good and bad ways). Some seem oddly prescient.

Microshift

Hookworms

5/5

Added to my catalog. Love discovering nuggets like this.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

2/5

Classic early-mid 90s angst and edge. Finally glad to have listened to a complete album from The Afghan Whigs, but I don't think I'll listen again.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

2/5

Couldn't make it through this one :(

Da Capo

Love

2/5

Eh- I made it through two songs. I understand how this album matters... I'm just not at a place to be able to appreciate it.

Signing Off

UB40

3/5

Good background music.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

Some of these sounds sound fresh and shine as influences for Songs: Ohio and similar Secretly Canadian bands.

Take Me Apart

Kelela

3/5

Good chill party music

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

5/5

Just as relevant now as it was when released 31 years ago. Sooooo good.

3/5

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

2/5

Ugh

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

4/5

Surprised I missed this when it first came out. There are elements of many different musical tastes throughout the (very expansive) album. It's like lounge-Beck w/ mixtures of jazz, folk, and mellow rock. I'm listening to the 20th-anniversary release, which includes remastered and remixed versions (not sure if those are included in the original.

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

3/5

Pretty okay-- this album transports me to a dark and smoky lounge, where I'm listening to the man at the piano sing and reminisce while I'm sipping on a Manhattan or martini.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

1/5

I'm not at a place where I can appreciate the energy and volume of their abrasive and scream-fueled rock.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

3/5

Pretty chill and enjoyable.

Achtung Baby

5/5

Fuck yes!

In It For The Money

Supergrass

2/5

What 90s rock wanted 80s rock to be.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

I remember listening to this cassette in my '78 Monte Carlo. I recall being more fond of it back then-- the melodies were catchy, and I was more into a non-critical hippyish view of the world. While some of the tracks resonate, most of the album doesn't age as well and comes off as a two dimensional, sophomoric and whitewashed ignorance of social oppression, opting instead to simply "love harder" and be involved in slightly alt- scenes. Ah, it was a simpler time then; one much easier to ignore when one was white, male, and middle class.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

2/5

One of Martha's favorites! Ah-- the sparse and low-fi production of the 90s

Kala

M.I.A.

3/5

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

Very guitar forward mixing— vocals and drums seem lost behind a wall of guitar sound. When vocals do manage to punch through, they sound whiny and nasally. I remember not caring for this album when it came out for some of the same reasons, and my feelings apparently haven’t changed in the past 30 years since its release.

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

Palo Congo

Everything about this is wonderful.
