A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

I can see why it was popular but only like three songs really grabbed me. Overall not my thing kind of boring.

Dust

Screaming Trees

1/5

More like whispering trees. Turned it off by the 5th song. Very disappointed in this one probably would never listen again.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

Super fun album. Felt like I was there and could see it being a blast. However he pretty much just a cover artist soo 3/5. I’d listen to it again if it was on.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

Loved it.

Queen II

Queen

5/5

Incredible. I have only listened to best of and the way this album is put together is so epic. Really glad I’ve now listened to a queen album all the way through. Loved it!

Tago Mago

Can

4/5

Really great prog rock. If you would of given this to me in my 20s I would of been obsessed. 4/5 sometimes I like the weird but you can get to fucking weird sometimes too and they went there which made it a 4. Definitely checking out all their other stuff though.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

3/5

When this album ended I immediately put on rage against the machine. Public enemy obviously was a huge influence on some of the bands I love now however I didn’t love this album. At one point I checked to see how many songs were left which is never good. Still lost at birth, I don’t wanna be called, and shut em down we’re great songs. Also bring tha noize is an all time classic and started a trend in hard music whether or not that was a good thing is probably up for debate. Sooooo 3/5 liked a lot of it but would rather listen to other albums that are similar.

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

It’s like a gigantic electronic pillow I want to nestle in. 5/5

The Band

2/5

Ehhhhhh really just not for me. But according to Pete they are really good.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

2/5

I get it I totally get it. A lot of their stuff was great this album though was ehhh

Vivid

Living Colour

2/5

There was some incredible songs on this album. Funny vibe has such an interesting collection of sounds and changes butttttttttttt a lot of the songs were just awful. I skipped quite a bit which was a bummer. They seemed trapped in the moment of making an album that was hair metal and progressive grunge. I was pretty bummed but I will listen to a couple of those songs again.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Highlights: boogie on a reggae women/creepin/you haven’t done nothing/they won’t go when I go. Really great album the slow songs were beautiful and heavy the funky songs were all feel good jams buttttttttt not down for so much religion in my albums.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Dope

Signing Off

UB40

1/5

Maybe this is good reggae I don’t know. But everything sounded the exact same to me and I turned it off 6th song in. I kept imagining Barney from how I met your mother making fun of reggae and it made me mad at that show and then mad at reggae and then mad at the show again. So if you have any reggae that is interesting pass it along.

Country Life

Roxy Music

3/5

It was cool. There was some songs I really liked but overall it was just fine, not something I’ll go back to.

Let It Be

The Replacements

5/5

Such a great album. I don’t know if they invented these different genres of punk but to hear metal ballads, hardcore punk, folk punk and a wide variety of styles while still solely still being the replacements is awesome. They were the pioneers of bands who had a style but would change it up and didn’t give a fuck what people think. 5/5 buying this asap.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Chill wasn’t in the mood

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

In the right mood this is a wonderful album. However it has to be the right mood or this sucks. Grab some wine sit back and enjoy someone in the kitchen cleaning dishes with jazz sounds in the background

Gorillaz

4/5

Classic but I do enjoy other gorillas albums more.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

2/5

Just boring music made for supermarkets

Queens of the Stone Age

4/5

Rated r is my favorite but this album rips. Over and over found myself bobbing my head to the next song. Will probably pick this one up next time I see it in a record store

Tommy

The Who

3/5

The story didn’t make a lot of sense to me but I really enjoyed quite a few songs and loved the progression throughout the album. Would listen again but probably not going to put it on myself.

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

2/5

Yea it was fine

Solid Air

John Martyn

5/5

Really found this Blum layered smoothly like a bob ross painting. It was expediently crafted by someone who knows their craft. Could listen to it again and again

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

The 70s really did make banger after banger. I have been constantly surprised at how good some of these albums are.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

Some great hits but my metal has not aged well

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

Some great hits but my metal has not aged well

3/5

I need to start writing my reviews at night….. I remembered I liked it?

2/5

The doors honestly kind of suck and this album it just sounds like they are doing a half ass rendition of blues music and it pretty much is not worth a listen

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

I dug it. Not sure how often I’d go back to it though.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

2/5

4/5

One of my favorite albums to go to when I need to chill out.

The Next Day

David Bowie

4/5

Bowie only makes classics. Where are we know is one of my all time favorite Bowie songs. The dude just got better with age. I think I’ll go 4 just because I zone out at some times but give me dark star next because that a 5!

Being There

Wilco

1/5

Soooooo boring

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

2/5

The underwater song was fantastic. If there was 17 songs like that I would of given it a 3 maybe a 4 but a lot of the other songs I really did not like. So I’ll give it a 2

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

4/5

I realize it’s not ground breaking now. But imagine being on a ton of acid at some club and this band comes on and just blows your top off. That’s be fun…..

5/5

I can’t believe this is from the 70s. All of the post punk that I love now is directly influenced from talking heads. Dave Byrne can’t miss.

The best.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

1/5

The random guitar notes that have no point annoy the shit out of me.

Mott

Mott The Hoople
