White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Already listened to this a while ago, years ago. I believe I borrowed the CD from Lucan Library and the only song I remember from it is "We're Going to Be Friends". A lot of it is a bit too heavy and aggressive for my usual tastes, but Jack White's voices is raw in a nice way. I like The Union Forever! And Offend in Every Way. Had to skip through Aluminum, too much...noise.

Raw Power

The Stooges

1/5

Some of these songs feel like fun Guitar Hero songs, but I had to skip a couple. Not a big fan

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

5/5

This one's already very fun! Strange guy, never listened to Tom Waits before. It really gives the guy from Over the Garden Wall, the Highwayman. I like it! Old soulful dark barstool crooning, bluesy.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

S&G fucking rock, personally. Bridge over Troubled Water is such a heartpulling althem, and pretty much every song on this album I'd listen to on repeat. Great stuff!

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Billy Joel, what a legend. I know so many of these songs but never listened to the full album! Great stuff honestly. Big fan.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Appropriate :-) not a bad album, good for background listening! Apparently this is what "New Wave" or "alternative" 80s music is, yeah it's fine.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

Classic rock which dips into some bluesy stuff, cream is fun. Sunshine of your Love is such a quintessential riffy rock song. Mother's Lament gave me a smile.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

First time listening. Can get pretty repetitive but good for hyping up I think. Big beat is certainly fun.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

3/5

As cowboy albums go, this one is alright. Just a guy and his guitar, singing repetitive songs. I can tell he puts his whole into each performance though and that's nice.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Really solid album! Amy Winehouse's vocals stand out so much, instantly recognisable. A lot of the same themes through this album, but some good ones in between the ones we all know. Really impressed with the production for each song, some songs are soulful, some Ska-esque, others are pure r&b I guess.

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

Eh, the kinks is the kinks, fun enough! Sunday Afternoon is a classic.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Such a mournful, somber, blue album. Lots of sadness, makes me wanna slump in a puddle while listening. Also, that one song from Shrek 2!

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

Not really my thing. Beats felt boring, the singing was off in terms of timing and pitch, his accent is fun tho.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

1/5

Didn't like this one, very noisy and not for me rn. The vocalist is not really doing it for me musically.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

I love it! O Pato!! This song keeps finding me. What a fun album, honestly.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

1/5

I've known of Herbie Hancock for a long time, I've always enjoyed the first few minutes of Chameleon and then it just gets very noisy and discordant and I'm no longer having fun. Unfortunately that's a lot of the same with this 4-song album. Won't listen again.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

Oh! I know like a handful of these songs! Never heard of Elbow before but yeah this album was really fun, some stuff was moody, some was cool, good example of enjoyable 2000s music.

American Pie

Don McLean

4/5

American Pie (one of those songs that you just NEED to learn all the words to) sums up this album. There are slow songs, upbeat songs, just like the different sections of the titular song. Lots of really good stuff here, will definitely listen again!

Hotel California

Eagles

5/5

Amazing Album. Hotel California is such a well crafted song, everyone knows. I can't remember which album my dad had when I was growing up, but it contained an acoustic version of Hotel California which is always the "real" version to me. Lots of good songs elsewhere on the album too! Definitely ought to listen again.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

5/5

Yeah this album rocks, lots of great songs, still has that fun faerie flair of the early Queen stuff but also some absolutely banging soaring guitar riffs and lots of variety in terms of song energy.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Some great songs on this album, also some mids/duds. Also lots of noisey bits, builds and atmosphere of discordance which is cool but not pleasant to listen to.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

1/5

This is a boring album, sorry Billie. I didn't finish it, every song feels the exact same: same slow strings, same warbling voice, same everything. Feels like default Christmas music you'd hear coming from a sad shopping centre.
