Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

I like that they are Scottish. And I could listen to a few songs, but not the whole album at once. It doesn't feel punk enough, but I enjoyed it. Favorites: - In a Hole - The Hardest Walk

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

I was introduced to Minor Threat my Freshman year of college by a bunch of straight edge friends. This brought back fun memories.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye's chorus is one I find myself singing randomly. I first listened to this album when I was 17 and my parent's were going through a divorce. I think that is why I remember all of them so well. I love this album. There is some repetition, but I like that its intentional and a mood.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

Yes all around.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

Listening to this is like wearing a weighted blanket (insert heart). Reminds me of my peak NYC living years. Struck by how much "NY, I Love You But You Are Bringing Me Down" reminds me of Violent Femmes this time around. Favorite tracks this listen: "Time to Get Away" & "All My Friends".

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

A first time listen for me! Much more familiar with later Arcade Fire albums. I like it - a bit more gritty, maybe slower? All round enjoyable listen.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

5/5

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

2/5

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

5/5

I love Abdullah Ibrahim.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

I mean with lyrics like this, accompanied by a flute, how can one not give a 5? "And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine"

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

Admittedly did not have the chance to listen to it in entirety...

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

3/5

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Headquarters

The Monkees

1/5

As a kid, Daydream Believer was my most favorite song. As an adult, I could not listen to any one song all the way through.

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

3/5

This is my first Kraftwerk experience. Things this album invoked: Adam Sandler's bandmate in The Wedding Singer. Stefon from SNL. Endless track - hear a little bit of Radiohead from Kid A in there. I AM HERE FOR IT.

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

3/5
