2/5

I thought I didn't really like Eminem. Now I know I don't really like Eminem.

At first it just made me want to listen to Fela. But after a bit I really got into it.

New Forms

Roni Size · 2 likes

3/5

The drum and bass feels pretty dated. But they do some interesting stuff with it.

Bossanova

5/5

Not my favorite Pixies album, but it's the fucking Pixies! It rules!

Violent Femmes

5/5

The Who Sell Out

The Who

3/5

So far, it seems like the album cover is the best part.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

One of my favorites. I hadn't listened to it in a while, so it was good to get back into it.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

I little too elevator music for me.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

2/5

I thought I didn't really like Eminem. Now I know I don't really like Eminem.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

3/5

It's really interesting for 1982?! I would have guessed it was contemporary! But not real easy listening.

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

It's one of those albums where I've heard every song so much I just don't care to listen again. And Johnson's voice can be really grating after a while.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

4/5

Really good with some surprisingly pretty songs.

New Forms

Roni Size

3/5

The drum and bass feels pretty dated. But they do some interesting stuff with it.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

This isn't my cup of tea. But I can appreciate the talent.

Queens of the Stone Age

3/5

It's alright. Sounds a little dated. But some fun tracks.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

It's tough to separate the art from the artist. But he was only 20 when he made this, which is kind of incredible.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

This is real good stuff. Summer Breeze is a fantastic cover.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

2/5

Seems a bit melodramatic. Not really my thing.

Queen II

Queen

3/5

This is good. Surprisingly none of the big hits. But solid.

Snivilisation

Orbital

3/5

I probably would have liked it back in the day. But it sounds dated, now. I like some tracks. Some are actually annoying. Like "Quality Seconds". I like "Kein Trink Wasser".

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

Fun House

The Stooges

4/5

Really good stuff. It gets a little crazy and almost unlistenable with the last track, but otherwise good.

More Specials

The Specials

3/5

Marquee Moon

Television

5/5

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

4/5

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

No. Well, I listened to a couple of these songs. It's a lot different than Pet Sounds that everyone talks about and seems to love but which I hate. Buy I still don't like the Beach Boys.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Not as great as I thought. But good.

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

2/5

Meh. Not really my thing. There's a lot of 90s stuff in this list: the era where I was the most judgmental of music. But this isn't my thing.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

3/5

Hey, this guy's pretty good! Who knew?!

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

This was better than I thought it would be.

Bossanova

Pixies

5/5

Not my favorite Pixies album, but it's the fucking Pixies! It rules!

Joan Baez

2/5

That's some pretty good mandolin playing. (I think). Not a big fan of her super vibrato voice. I think I'd rather hear some more traditional versions of e.g. East Virginia. It sounds like something that might be on the Anthology of American Folk music. Yeah, no.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

This was better than I thought it would be.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

It's good. But the whole album doesn't hold up to the hits, which are great.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Really good. Forgot how much I liked this album.

Synchronicity

The Police

5/5

Great. A few weird tracks, but fantastic.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Meh.

The Stooges

4/5

We Will Fall is kind of droney meh. Most other tracks are great. Some of my favorites.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

1/5

I don't like Dylan. I'll give it a try, I guess. I'm thinking it'll just make me want to listen to trad folk. I mean, he's not a good singer. He's a bad harmonica player. He's a mediocre guitarist. He just kinda sucks. He's a good song writer, I guess, but that's about it. I gave up with the bad harmonica in Desolation Row.

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

It's good. More slow Beck than my preferable upbeat Beck. But good..

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Oof. This album is a very specific time and place feels. High School junior year. I think it was the start of my "I prefer their earlier stuff" conception.

In Utero

Nirvana

3/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

Wild Gift

4/5

Great stuff.
