Rolling Stones vibes, loved the rawness of the mixing

Street Life

3/5

Elevator music/ Hotel Lobby vibes, not in a bad way though

Miriam Makeba

A lot of the songs were very good, some goofy ones like One More Dance that I didn’t hate. Overall not a bad album

Adele

5/5

Amazing Album from start to finish, not my mood but I respect it

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Honestly, the only two songs I really enjoyed on the album were Highway Star and Smoke on the Water. Everything else just kind of missed for me

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

Pleasant music, not something I would willingly put on though

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

I understand it’s relevance, and it’s influence on modern hip-hop, but the best part of rap to me is always to flow, and this music has no flow at all, it kind of just sounds like a clash of sounds with random spoken word over it. 6/10 for the cultural impact and the message of the album, but the music just didn’t hit at all for me.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

Terrible Album, nothing redeeming about it. Maybe it would be slightly better if I was on acid or something

I See You

The xx

4/5

Pleasent music, doesn't stand out much to me but I enjoyed the whole listen. 7/10

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Just okay. 6/10

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

2/5

DNF. 80s music triggers my fight or flight response.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

Decent album. Best Song: Goodbye Toulouse Most interesting: Down in the Sewer 7.5/10

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

5/5

Immaculate album, I enjoyed every second of this listen. Djed was an epic by itself, and every song had its own unique vibe. 9.5/10, definitely would listen again

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

The album was just okay. None of the songs really stood out to me, and they all kind of just sounded like knock off Rolling Stones. I didn’t hate it, but there’s better music with the same sound. 4/10

Dare!

The Human League

2/5

It’s wasn’t a horrible album, but I still hate 80’s music. Don’t you want me is okay I guess. 4/10

Vivid

Living Colour

2/5

Not great. Cult of Personality was the only semi-good song on this album to me. The guitar shredded though. 3.5/10

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

5/5

I really like this album. Drunk in an Irish Pub music. I really liked the Jesse James cover. 9.25/10

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

I love Otis Redding, and I did enjoy most of the songs on this album, but it’s just good to me, didn’t stand out as one of the best albums I’ve heard. Still, I give it an 8.5/10

Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

I love Van Morrison, and this is my favorite album from him. This album has so many amazing songs that invoke some amazing feelings from me. And It Stoned Me and Caravan will always be on repeat for me. If I could give this album more than 5 stars I could. 11/10.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

3/5

The fact that I didn’t completely hate it considering it’s 80’s sound is surprising. Born to Run was quite good. 5.5/10

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

I enjoyed this album, though I think this is only the third best Metallica album. Still great music, but because of that, it’s only getting a 8/10

Joan Baez

2/5

I enjoy folk music, and I like a lot of Bob Dylan’s music, but for some reason this album was a hard listen for me. Joan’s voice is beautiful, but every song sounded exactly the same, it was kind of hard to get through a straight hour of it. I enjoyed Girl of Constant Sorrow, I don’t know if this is the original, but I really like the one from O Brother, so it was cool hearing this from 40 years prior. I hate to give this album 2 stars, but honestly for me, I feel that’s what it deserves. 4.5/10

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

3/5

I normally like reggae, and this wasn’t bad, but not the best I’ve heard. 6/10

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

3/5

Honestly DNF. I’m just going to give it 3 stars because I didn’t hate what I listened to, but it was just way too slow for me, wasn’t my mood at all.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

2/5

Too Broadway sounding for me, 3.5/10

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

I love all of the popular songs form The Band, but never listened to any of their albums all the way through. Honestly, I expected a lot more from the album, but it was still an enjoyable listen. 7/10

Eternally Yours

The Saints

3/5

Decent for punk music, not entirely my taste but it was listenable. 5/10

Violator

Depeche Mode

2/5

Not a fan. Too 80s sounding. It was bearable though. 3.5/10

Skylarking

XTC

4/5

Live At Leeds
