Johnny Cash
3/5
This is an album I’ve always heard about but have never listened to.
Pixies
3/5
Prince
3/5
Starts out really strong but weakens towards the end.
Fugees
3/5
Joni Mitchell
4/5
I have this album on vinyl.
5/5
Pretenders

Stevie Wonder

Goldfrapp
2/5
Not a fan of the musical style, but I recognize that they’re talented.
Queens Of The Stone Age
3/5
The Undertones
3/5
Prince
5/5
Five stars immediately. One of my favorite albums of all time.
The Birthday Party
2/5
A few decent songs but most didn’t interest me.
Missy Elliott
2/5
Understanding it’s from 1997, it still sounds unfinished and flat in many spots. I expected more.
Bebel Gilberto
3/5
Wire
3/5
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Lots of great classics with a few duds.
Echo And The Bunnymen
3/5
Living Colour
2/5
One or two “ok” songs for the late 80s/early 90s but nothing that stands out other than Cult of Personality.
LCD Soundsystem
2/5
This album is too much of the same sound. I enjoy the style, but hoped for more variation.
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
The Zombies
3/5
The Who
4/5
A concept album where none of the songs are related. Love that.
Dr. Octagon
4/5
Such a great album. I’ve been an Octo fan for many years. Pro tip: read the lyrics while listening.
Slipknot
3/5
The music was much better than I expected but the singing didn’t do it for me.
Meat Loaf
3/5
It’s ok. I’ve heard this album a few times over the years and the individual songs too many times. I even saw Meatloaf live once. Too much of a gimmick or something for me.
Yes
4/5
3.5 rounded up to 4.
The White Stripes
3/5
Pretty decent. Not his best stuff.
Miles Davis
3/5
The Chemical Brothers
4/5
Enjoyable
Kendrick Lamar
4/5
Talented Artist and poet.
Talking Heads
3/5
Eurythmics
3/5
Soundgarden
4/5
Even though I had this album in 1994, I don’t think I’ve ever listened to it straight through. It’s much better than I remembered.
The Beau Brummels
3/5
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
3/5
Lorde
1/5
Lauryn Hill
2/5
Meh. It probably sounded better in 1998.
The Crusaders
2/5
The first song was about 66.67% too long. The rest was too similar and just ok. Nothing here to revisit.
SZA
3/5
Beatles
5/5
Ali Farka Touré

Meh. They sold out after Dookie.

It “live” but not truly live.
Q-Tip

Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
Disjointed
Jethro Tull
3/5
Iron Maiden
3/5
An important classic for sure but not really my thing. In 1982 it could have been a 5 for me.
Fun Lovin' Criminals
2/5
Unimpressive and one-dimensional. Hard pass.
William Orbit

Thundercat
3/5
Adele
3/5
Beautiful, powerful voice. 5/5 stars for that. Of course the music isn’t my favorite and, as most music these days is, the focal point is the vocals. To me, vocals should be a supporting role to the music and nothing more. The music and instruments are much more important.
Dr. John
3/5
Stan Getz
3/5
George Michael
3/5
Metallica
3/5
Ugh. The album that initiated the downfall of Metallica as a respectable heavy metal band. They changed their producer, changed their sound, sang f’ing BALLADS, and sold their souls just to cash in. Sure, they made a lot of money but at the cost of losing many original fans. I guess I can’t blame them. Sellouts be sellin’ out.
The Waterboys
3/5
Dizzee Rascal
1/5
No thank you. Really difficult to listen to. It’s a jumbled mess that manages to essentially sound the same throughout. And that’s not a good thing.
Jane Weaver
4/5
The Cars
4/5
So close to 5 stars. Just misses on a few songs.
Charles Mingus
1/5
I appreciate jazz and free flowing jam sessions but this is just a train wreck.
The Who
4/5
The Who were a great band but their “live” music was even better.
Mike Oldfield
3/5
Familiar and interesting with an unexpected (and unsatisfying) ending.
Linkin Park
3/5
It isn’t bad. It helps to be an angsty teen when you listen
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
The more talented Elvis.
The Temptations
3/5
Eagles
3/5
If I never hear the song Hotel California ever again in my life I would be totally happy with it. The song Try and Love Again was decent. Probably because I haven’t heard it 10,000 times before.
Steely Dan
3/5
Ravi Shankar
3/5
GZA
3/5
ABBA
2/5
I had very low expectations and they were soundly met.
Jefferson Airplane
4/5
Dire Straits
3/5
Wild West End was a pleasant surprise. I’ve heard Sultans of Swing many times before. The rest was ok.
Cocteau Twins
4/5
I’d like to give a 3.5. Better than average, but not quite a 4
The Verve
4/5
I was very pleasantly surprised. This is an album I will listen to again and come back to.
The Smiths
4/5
The Queen is dead. Long live the King!
Missy Elliott

Cheap Trick
1/5
Man this sucks. I never liked their music, especially I Want You to Want Me. The rest of this was difficult to sit through. Apparently the crowd was into it but I guess there are a lot of people who enjoy shitty music.
Eagles
2/5
Vaguely interesting with a few known hits. Now I’m not the kind of guy who goes after “hits” but the deep tracks on this album are unknown for a good reason. 2/5
Chicago
4/5
Red Snapper
3/5
3.5/5
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
4.5/5 really
Elliott Smith
3/5
Elliot Smith was talented and his music is nice but so many songs sound the same. I wish there was more variety in his music.
Eminem
3/5
I’ve never really been an Eminem fan and this album is a good example. The “hits” seem too much like “joke rap” to me and I really can’t take him seriously. He’s a very gifted rapper and talented, but aside from the lyrics, the music just really isn’t very good.
James Brown
3/5
Michael Jackson
3/5
Laura Nyro
2/5
Occasionally this album seems to stumble upon a path where is appears that it knows where it’s going and then suddenly falls off the rails again. Too random to enjoy. Her voice is both beautiful and wretched.
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Don McLean
2/5
This album doesn’t have much for me. There’s a good reason why American Pie is the only song known from it.
Jeff Beck
4/5
Good stuff.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Lots of great songs with a handful of duds. Still a classic.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
I’ve never been a huge fan but it’s good enough.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Obviously great. I wish I could give it 4.5 starts.

Elvis Presley
2/5
Although I appreciate Elvis for his contributions to music, I’ve never been a fan of his music.
Morrissey
3/5
I’m more of a Smiths fan than a Morrissey fan but this is still good. 3.5/5.
Turbonegro
2/5
Not so good.
OutKast

2/5
I listened to this album in the 90s in high school when I was really into heavy metal and I wasn’t a huge fan. Not much has changed.

Adam & The Ants
3/5
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
The Stranglers
2/5
The Incredible String Band
1/5
This really isn’t very good at all.
The Young Rascals
3/5
Wild Beasts
2/5
If the singer didn’t sing it wouldn’t be as bad. Maybe it wouldn’t be good, but maybe somewhat listenable. Rough.
4/5
David Gray
3/5
Venom
2/5
Generic heavy metal vocals, generic heavy metal guitar riffs, generic heavy metal drums. It’s not “bad” but there’s absolutely nothing remarkable or even memorable about this. Literally nothing stands out. I have zero interest in listening again.

Eh, it’s not for me. I’m really only familiar with her song about the Seinfeld diner and that song got really old fairly quickly back in the 90s. This album falls pretty flat for me. It’s not horrible so I can’t give it a 1, yet a 2 seems a bit generous.
Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin is great but this album had a few dumpers on it.
