Talking Heads
2/5
I feel bad rating this only 2 stars but for whatever reason Talking Heads has always been a band I like the idea of more so than their actual music. I find David Byrne’s singing voice annoying but I respect him as an artistic talent. Not everyone can like everything!

A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
I don’t love this genre of music, I am simply trying to listen to things I haven’t heard before. I can appreciate the quality of the production and lyricism but personally I wouldn’t listen again. Phenomenal samples, “Can I kick it?” is a great song.
Sly & The Family Stone
5/5
Awesome album, would highly recommend.
James Brown
4/5
Easy to see why he’s so revered, his crowd work was phenomenal and the tone of his voice comes across crystal-clear despite it being a live album.
Traffic
3/5
Great musicianship, I didn’t connect with the narrative of the album. This is a great record to listen to in the background.
The Kinks
5/5
Travis
2/5
Really didn’t like the singers’ voice and the album was a bit overstuffed. The guitar-playing is captivating.
Jane's Addiction
1/5
I did not vibe with this album at all, couldn’t understand the singer and a few of the songs really sounded similar. I am not generally a fan of rock from this era and this album really was grating to me.
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
3/5
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
Try listening to this album as two albums, one with all the even-numbered tracks and one with all the odd-numbered tracks. Honestly, this may be one of the more overlooked albums for an artist that had a prior number one album. It’s not Rumours and that’s okay. Tusk is one of the best “weird” songs, shout-out to the USC marching band.
Dizzee Rascal

What a fun eclectic mixture of tunes, did not know that he popularized the “lime in the coconut” song.
Metallica
2/5
One is a phenomenal track, as they noted later in their career they were pretty coked out during the recording process and it shows in spots. The bass is turned wayyyyy down in the mix. Not my favorite of their albums but better than most.

I feel bad rating this only 2 stars but for whatever reason Talking Heads has always been a band I like the idea of more so than their actual music. I find David Byrne’s singing voice annoying but I respect him as an artistic talent. Not everyone can like everything!

Look, if I were smarter I’m sure I’d appreciate the hell outta Bob Dylan’s lyrics but if I listened to music for lyrics then I’d read a book or some poems. I do not hear a cat in a blender as my inner voice while reading so why subject myself to that in music?

I was too young to appreciate this when it first came out, it was something my friends’ “cool older siblings” listened to. I’ve been looking forward to this listening experience for a long time and frankly it was just… fine? It feels like a really well made album, it just doesn’t pique my interests too much… besides “Latin Simone” but that’s due to the feature from a member of “Bueno Vista Social Club”. Not everything can be special to everyone but I appreciate it exists!

Why the hell is this included? It’s like he went into the studio trying to create music that would drive someone insane within seconds. It felt like random fast saxophone notes paired with someone doing a shitty impression of Alex Van Halen’s drum intro for “Hot for Teacher”. Worst album out of the 800+ recommended so far
