Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

3/5

Great music to listen to on a calm Saturday morning.

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

Great Lyrics, you can hear some of the influence on today’s artists. Best part is the original sound where it mixes pop, punk and what sounds like a drunken anthem about grocery shopping

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

2/5

Listening to this was like seeing art. I have no idea what I’m looking at but I guess a ton of artists sampled these songs? Just not my cup o tea

Definitely Maybe

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

2/5

I am a fan of Trance and Techno and even I couldn’t follow this one. Maybe it was cause I was high, but I would argue that if anything it would have had a positive affect. Instead I it felt like I was at a weird NY one man show listening to an artistic interpretation of how someone was on a train.

Willie Nelson

4/5

Great album but not his best. The subtlety transports you to a ranch in the spring

Atomizer

Big Black

4/5

You have to listen to this loud to match the vocals with the instruments or else you’ll hear more instruments than the vocals. Which is either brilliant for a punk band or just because I listened on YouTube

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

Garage band album with no real melody. This is why I hate a majority of punk. Bands choose to be creative with there sound but forget the goal is to make music.
