With The Beatles

Beatles

5/5

Nicer than I remember. Love the the instrumental details. Can understand why they were so great.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

A classic. Have listened to this one a million times. Still love it.

Parklife

Blur

2/5

New one for me. Think I had heard of the group but not the album. Well sounds kind of dated. Not sure how well it's held up. I'll pass.

Ramones

4/5

Opens with the best punk song ever recorded. Before there was even punk. Love the second track as well. Truly and interesting band. Miss em.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Hmm. The recording was first rate. Musicianship first rate. Just not a fan of the material.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

4/5

Well I was kind of distracted so I will listen again. Sounded indulgent. But I think when I listen again with my headphones I will really like it. So going to give it a four.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

4/5

Liked it. Listened on my head phones and thought it was well recorded. Liked the bass player a lot.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

3/5

Well I thought it was alright.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Wow. And she just died yesterday. Is everyone getting this album today?

Eagles

4/5

It was nice. Love the sound of the acoustic guitars. So pleasant to listen to.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

Alright. Like some of the songs.

Sail Away

Randy Newman

Honestly. Time has forgotten this album. So will I.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

Liked it a lot.

the ususal.

Good

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

Kinda rough for me I guess.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

3/5

I can see why you might pick this album to be on the list. Maybe if I listened to it a million times when I was younger it would resonate with me. But on a first listen now it seems mediocre. I may listen to it more and see if grows on me. and maybe not...

Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

Ok. A no brainer. An absolute masterpiece. A run of recordings from 1968 to 1972 where he was channeling the astral plane. His voice like a sultry saxophone. I always enjoy going back to period of his oeuvre. Spin it up. You'll agree.

Shalimar

Rahul Dev Burman

3/5

Bollywood rocks. It is Bollywood right? Very sprightly. A nice change from The Smiths albums that have been popping up on an all too regular basis. .2% of the best 1000 albums ever recorded were by The Smiths. Unto me render a break.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

Tried a number of times. Just could not latch on to this guy.

Gorillaz

5/5

Had never listened to this album/band/group. Love it. Will be adding to my rotation.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

5/5

Again a no brainer. One of the best collections of music by a truly inspired band. Shane's ability to create memorable melodies is other worldly.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

1/5

Not for me.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Hmmm. Very angry. Very lost. Was it cathartic for the young man? Puking up all that phlegm? We can only hope he has found some tranquility.

Technique

New Order

5/5

I liked it. I like their sound. The lyrical bass lines combined with the melody singing guitar parts. And they really do make lovely melodies.

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

Rock and roll. what can i say.

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

3/5

Oh yeah. time for a holiday. tough no nonsense lyrics.

I think it's the first reggae album I bought. Love the riddims.

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

5/5

Lou David Pop

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

Honestly I never really listen to them when I put them on. Just turns into background music. Not sure why. Maybe try again sometime. Although I did enjoy Route 66.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Twas alright. thought it would be better. maybe it was the slower music on a day i needed some pop

Sounds like typical Lenny to me. Enjoyable. Light.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

5/5

Love this album. Listened to it for the first time about 3 months ago. My sister in law was telling us about Ingrid Bergman song. So I looked it up. Really love the melodies, instrumentation and the over all sound. Gonna rate this one high.
