All Ratings

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Don't have this and mainly knew the hits from this one. Very enjoyable as expected when I saw it come up.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Dolly's writing is very good and all-star backup musicians. But I like Dolly in smaller portions than an entire album.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Stellar! I hadn't ever heard this and was mainly new some songs from Live! Need this one.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

3/5

Really outstanding musicianship but I didn't find it a really compelling listen.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

Pretty cool blues album.

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

4/5

Hits the mark musically and enjoyed the vocal styling. Almost 20 years after release, much of the message seems dated. Overall, a very good listen.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

1/5

Not my style. Couldn't really listen to the whole thing.

Violator

Depeche Mode

2/5

Just didn't get into this one at all. Never a fan of Depeche Mode but figured why not. Confirmed my distaste for this band.

Elvis Presley

3/5

I'll give this some credit as a groundbreaking LP at the time it came out and there are 3-4 songs that have held up pretty well. But not that great an album on its merits.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

5/5

Outstanding and iconic country album. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Solid Air

John Martyn

4/5

Ended up with this mainly as background music. Enjoyed it and may need to get hold of it.

m b v

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

not... i listened to this low in the background - none of it seemed to make me want to stop, turn it up and listen.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

2/5

I couldn't really enjoy this album. Lust For Life is a catchy tune but lyrics aren't much. The Passenger is probably the best on here, a couple others aren't bad numbers but I can't rate this very high.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

2/5

Some pretty good production and music here but rap just doesn't do it for me. I did manage to make it through about half of this album - some parts sort of OK but couldn't take anotheer 8-9 cuts.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

1/5

I couldn't listen to the entire first cut - nothing really musical about this. Did skip through the rest trying to find something worthwhile to listen to but not really successful.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

3/5

Just don't get into the album. Never a big PF fan.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

I knew this album fairly well but it was good to listen to the whole thing, I find most of the cuts to be enjoyable. I think her voice is very compelling as is her songwriting.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Very good album. For all the airplay on Side One cuts, Side Two is also very good. had not listened to this in a long time.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

I could not stop listening to this even though some of the songs are kind of dated. Just love that voice.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

I wasn't really sure I even wanted to listen to this as I don't really like much hip-hop. Ended up skipping through quite a few songs but some of the soul/R&B sounding cuts were enjoyable.

Street Life

The Crusaders

4/5

Enjoyed hearing this. Pretty sure there are better Cusaders albums but this is solid.

More Specials

The Specials

3/5

Pretty fun listen - might have to go back again.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

3/5

Some interesting music but overall did not find this too compelling.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

At the time, this was likely cutting edge stuff but sounds very dated now.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

5/5

Good to have to listen to this album as I've not heard it in a long time. Still exceptional.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

Very pleasant listening, Great voice.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

3/5

I'm of two minds on this one. If I heard any single cut from this on radio or streaming, I would make a point to check out who/what it is. But listening to the whole thing seemed interminably long and somewhat tedious.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

2/5

I guess this is a pretty fair representation of the grunge scene but not to my taste.

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

I had only heard The Cure on radio - so only their hits. Hearing this full LP was a pleasant surprise.

Parklife

Blur

1/5

0couldn't listen through the first two tracks - skipped through, stopped and listened to a couple more tracks but I found nothing that is "must hear".

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

3/5

Never been a metal fan but have come to appreciate to an extent. Some very good musicians here but I can't stomach the screaming lyrics. A few cuts in, I gave up on this.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

I like a lot of Madonna's early work - pretty good pop music from its period with very good production. I don't think this is her best early LP despite a few good cuts on the album. In my view, she goes downhill from here.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Enjoyed this one.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

I don't think I ever heard this in its entirety and find it less compelling that the second album. There are some familiar tunes and a couple others that are notable. Can't give this a 5.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

3/5

Not sure what makes thos must hear. Could have cut half the tunes and still not sure. There are a few good tunes but...

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

2/5

I suppose if I was high enough...

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
