Blur

2/5

Too screams and technoy - hard on the ears

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

3/5

Spacy futuristic mellow sound - a little melancholy but an easy listening sound. Outer space and Marz decent

Soul Mining

The The

2/5

Spacey, super short album, British influence, enjoyed one song but not much else

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Classic 60s songs I didn’t know were by her. Solid album full of hits but not my favorite genre.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

While the first two tracks are memorable as energy filled pump up songs with catchy tunes (although terrible lyrics), it quickly falls off a cliff and the second half the album is unlistenable

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

1/5

Not my type of rock - very distracting and was giving me a headache

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

4/5

Not my type of rock but I did enjoy it as a different vibe. Better to listen to on loud speakers than headphones. Super short album

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

2/5

Too slow and melodic for me. Not my vibe and had trouble getting through the whole album

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

3/5

Solid 70s rock jam band - enjoyed more than I thought I would and love the live album sound

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

2/5

Gravely voice - guitar is nice at points but just not an overall package I need to hear again

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

1/5

I mean..: what even is this? Glad some people seem to enjoy this but i couldn’t get through 3 songs

Moby Grape

3/5

Couldn’t listen to most of the tracks from not being on Spotify but an easy listening 60s rock band vibe with an alright sound

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

Really enjoyed the first two tracks from the album but it fell off from there for me and became very repetitive tone wise that almost put me to sleep. Wanted more punk

Quiet Life

Japan

2/5

Ok sound - ominous mellow 60s rock vibes - cool vibe but wasn’t in the right mood for parts of the album

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

The guitar and background music sounds great but I just can’t stand the lead singers voice. I can see aspects of songs that are catchy but as a whole, not something I would listen to again

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

2/5

A few iggy pop songs I like but this album didn’t have many of them, and felt too melancholy overall.

System Of A Down

2/5

Not my favorite SOAD album, but very unique sound when you want to get some anger out

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Enjoyable vocals, a nice blend of some songs I’d heard and new, and a very complete album. One of the better albums I’ve heard through this challenge

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

Iconic album, classic sound that could fill a stadium to this day. Such a joy to listen to this album through and introduce me to a few new songs combined with the hits I’ve known for a long time

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

2/5

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

Not my type of vibe - ambient sounds that seemed more to put me to sleep than enjoy listening to

Smile

Brian Wilson

3/5

Easy listening and enjoyable

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

2/5

Hms Fable

Shack

3/5

Easy listening 90s rock vibes

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

2/5

Kind of boring overall and not that many memorable songs

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Dog Man Star

Suede

2/5

Fever Ray

1/5

So many moaning sounds and boring vibe

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

Solid 80s vibe sound with notes of Bowie and Sting. A little boring and repetitive at times, but not bad

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

3/5

Feels like music from lots of 80s soundtracks - fun, light and easy listening but not something I would add to my normal playlists

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

Such fun vibes of classic songs - great live album

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

2/5

Very boring - fine voice but nothing stood out

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

1/5

Songs weren’t very catchy and repetitive - psychedelic rock just isn’t for me I think

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Fun casual vibe album. Love the additions of horns to many of their mellow rock songs.

Tommy

The Who

3/5

Some classic songs, and love the overall vibe, but many of the songs aren't ones I would re-listen to standalone.

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

I think I expected more from a classic Bowie album where the vibe was too slow for me and the only songs I really enjoyed were the two singles I already knew. Album was forgettable to me.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

1/5

Little hands is an ok opener with some grunge and psychedelic rock elements but the album just goes way down from there. Sounds like a drugged out man trying to sing songs he half remembers the words to

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Catchy heavy rock songs with a nice sound, but only a few standout tracks and wouldn’t add many to my regular playlists

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Catchy vibes for some songs and a mellow album with good rythem
