Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

I honestly didn’t mind listening to this one but why is there so much talking!?!? After the first time listening to the album you would have to skip wayyyy ahead on the last song.

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Have heard most of these songs before. If released today they would still be hits.

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

3/5

Not a bad album but there is no outright awesome song. Gives me a Bruno Mars vibe.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Classic rock!!!!!

Celebrity Skin

Hole

2/5

Forgettable album. Nothing very unique about this band. Only a couple good songs.

Smile

Brian Wilson

1/5

Can’t get behind this one. Couldn’t even finish the whole album. Not my type of music

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

I wanted to like because it’s The Who but I was honestly disappointed. Kind of stopped paying attention to it after a while

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Not for me. Can’t listen to if for that long. I know Frank Sinatra but it’s more elevator music to me

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

3/5

Not a bad album. Enjoyed some songs. Actually found that song Lovefool from this album. Good listen.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Some big song on that one! I can get down to some Aretha!

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

Just an okay album. No bangers

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

The La's

4/5

The albums starts out pretty good. Very catchy songs that aren’t bad to listen too. The last three songs on the album are terrible. I can see myself listening this album in the future.

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

1/5

Terrible album. Were there even words!?!? I just heard so mumbles and sounds. Yuck

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

4/5

Great easy listening album. Has a unique voice with an alternative sound. I like all the sounds created in the album. The pony street is awesome.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

3/5

Gary Burton is a magician on the vibes. This was a long album but an album where it’s mostly background music for working.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

2/5

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Woh! Smashing Pumkins are legendary. Billy Corgan is an absolute MONSTER singer. You can pick his voice out from anywhere. Not the best album they have but still has some huge songs on this album and they never forget their true rock feel with heavy guitar and drums.

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

What a great album. This is before Coldplay went super pop. They are very relaxing songs. Could see me playing them soaking up the sun in summer.

Paul Simon

3/5

Great voice. Not the best at varying sounds. After a few songs they sound the same to me. Missing the huge hits for this album.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Virgin Suicides

Air

2/5

Very strange album. Good background music with some cool drum fills in there. Altogether not a bad album but it is forgettable. Probably won’t listen to again.

Fun House

The Stooges

4/5

Killer guitar in this album. How can you go wrong with these solo’s? Definitely going to put this album on my revisit later list.

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

3/5

Not a bad album. I’m not a biggest knot fan. A little too hard for my taste but if you listen to the drum fills they are really good. I tend to find myself listening to just the drums rather then the overall song.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Not too much here. Good study music but not something you really want to pay too much attention to.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

The actual album as a whole is not the greatest but if you just listen to the guitar it’s amazing. Jimi is a wizard on the axe

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

2/5

Not my style of music. No drums and no guitar

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

2/5

Does this guy ever actually sing or just talk into the mic the whole time?

2/5

Not feeling this guy as a singer. Need more rock. Maybe come back and listen to this guy when it’s not Friday afternoon.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

Some rockin guitar riffs goin on here. Not their best album but I can definitely see myself checking out this one again.

3/5

I liked this more than I thought. It’s got that old school feeling to it.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

1/5

What the heck is this??? There is no rhyme or reason to the music. This is where jazz loses me. It’s not bad to listen to, just not remember able in any way

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

3/5

Some killer guitar riffs happening on this album but I don’t understand why this would be a top album. Nothing to separate them between other bands.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

Groovy beats

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Never heard of them before this. They are really good. What an album. She has a really great voice and the songs do differ a lot. Great sound

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

The guitar is amazing in this album but I can’t get past the singer. His voice is not the greatest and it’s hard to understand what he says.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

3/5

This guy has a great voice and the song sound very different from each other.

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

3/5

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

What an album! An absolute masterpiece. Banger after banger with guitar mixes in every song.

Ramones

3/5

I’ve definitely have heard some songs from them before and was honestly really excited to see this album for the day. I was disappointed to say the least. All the songs sound the same and there is only that one hit. Great rock feel but overall disappointing.

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

Missing some bangers

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

4/5

Some crazy sounds happening here. I really dig the different sounds between songs. Could definitely see myself listening again.

The Yes Album

5/5

Yes, that’s the name of the band. Listen to Roundabout. It will blow the classical music out your butt!

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Dang!

The Last Broadcast

Doves

Not a band album or band but they’re just alright. No huge bangers or anything. Sometimes get the vibe of Coldplay

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

2/5

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Didn’t peak my interest. Had it playing but after the 3 initial songs it was just alright

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

Her rapping is very good. But I HATE all the talking between songs. It ruins it for me. Without the dialogue it would be great.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

You have to be in the right mindset when listening to Kendrick. Very talented but overall he has better albums.

Soul Mining

The The

Underworld

3/5

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

2/5

His voice is nothing special. I don’t seem to like this album very much. Pass

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

This album hits different. They have a very distinct sound. Their greatest hits albums is really good.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

This is their second best album and it’s pretty great. Wish Green Day was still this good. Now they only put out an occasional single that’s alright and you forget about it a week later.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

I honestly didn’t mind listening to this one but why is there so much talking!?!? After the first time listening to the album you would have to skip wayyyy ahead on the last song.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Dang, these guys can rip! I’ve actually heard a number of these songs before but have never heard of the band before. Great album.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Not the greatest of albums. The artist has Hallelujah and that’s it. Without that song I would have given it a worse score for sure.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Wonderful! 😂 This album is always on the list for best albums of all time.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

4/5

This is perfect timing. Just got done listening to a tribe called quest and now this. Just starting to get into 90s hip hop and this is definitely a banger!

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

Just not the biggest fan of jazz. Miles is a legend but it can’t hold my attention. Faded in to background music almost immediately.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

A couple good ones but not amazing. Average. Would rather just listen to individual songs

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

Groovin'
