Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

5/5

Quite the introduction to Captain Beefheart. Definitely need to hear more of him. This shit is cool.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

This makes me incredibly interested to see what the next 1000 albums are gonna be. Always had an appreciation for Winehouse, and this only gives me a greater appreciation for her. Such a soulful ass voice.

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

3/5

As a general rule the ambient sections were killer and the upbeat sections were.. not my cup of tea. Definitely a middle of the road album for me, not one I'll be going to again save a few songs, but not an offensive album to my ears by any stretch.

Future Days

Can

4/5

Great album, haven't heard it in years so definitely worth a re-listen

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Miles from Nowhere is immediately going into the Playlist. Didn't resonate too strongly with me otherwise but that's purely opinion. Decent album.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Loved a few tracks on this, a few I didn't love.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

5/5

Incredible album. Cannot wait to revisit this one.

One World

John Martyn

4/5

Such a unique album, nothing immediately stood out but I didn't feel the need to skip a single song. I should definitely give it some more listens in the future.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

5/5

Such an incredible album. Don't even know what else to say. Always been one of my all time favorites.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

2/5

This is definitely good musically but the vocal delivery bothers me and most of the songs don't catch me quite enough to make up for it. Definitely not one I'll be going back to any time soon.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

5/5

Not even halfway through this and I've already added it to my library. Don't know how I've never heard this before but some absolute heat is on this record.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

5/5

Such a beautiful album. She Talks to Angels will always be one of my favorites of all time.

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

3/5

Nothing on this album really grabs me but I don't hate any of it either. Will probably come back to it at another time when I'm looking for something different than my every day stuff.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Classic record. Honestly want this one on vinyl.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Haven't heard this whole album start to finish in like, 10 years. Definitely a great collection of tunes.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

1/5

This album honestly didn't do too much for me at all.

Opus Dei

Laibach

3/5

Very cool album. Never been much of a fan of industrial rock but I can definitely hear why this is a revered album.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

4/5

Definitely an album I want to revisit. Jane's Addiction is one of those groups I've always liked but have never listened to their whole discography. Loved the feel of this record though.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

4/5

Such a chill album, can't believe I'd never heard it before.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

5/5

This is incredible. Once I got used to the vocals and 80s sound, I was absolutely rocking. Not one that I probably ever would have even thought to try based on my current preferences, but unbelievably glad I did. I could see myself revisiting certain moments on this album very regularly. Hoping this might be a gateway into me appreciating a different style of music.

Os Mutantes

3/5

A cool album for sure. Think it would resonate strongly with me if it was in English but that's only because trying to decipher lyrics is a huge part of my listening experience. Musically though, a very good time and completely inoffensive.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

The Predator

Ice Cube

5/5

Classic record, love throwing this one on during road trips with my friends

Dire Straits

5/5

Always loved this one. Sultans of Swing is one of my all time favorites.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

I Can appreciate this album as being good for what it is but also have a hard time listening to it for very long. Just not my preferred style of music.

Smile

Brian Wilson

4/5

Rapture

Anita Baker

3/5

This might be an album I should come back to when I feel like hearing something with that classic 80s sound. It's the only thing that is keeping me from really loving it and that's probably only because that's not where my head is right now.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

This might be in my top 10 favorite albums of all time. Absolute fucking heat from start to finish.

Elvis Presley

3/5

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Love this album. Love Rage's attitude in these early records.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Such a cool record with so many cool instrumental parts. A great listen.

Eagles

3/5

Never cared for this album as much as Hotel California but still a solid set of tracks nonetheless

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Love love love this one.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

4/5

This was a great collection of Dylan tunes. Have always appreciated him and his work, not necessarily my all time favorite but I still f with it.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

5/5

Ice T is a GOAT. His rapping is so hard-core, raw, and badass, and his metal shit is also top notch.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

5/5

Gotta love Prince. 🔥

Low

David Bowie

5/5

Phenomenal album that I can't wait to revisit.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

This is an absolute masterpiece. Loved this one.

This Year's Model

4/5

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

I don't know why I didn't listen to this when it came out but I'm glad I did now. What a record.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

5/5

This is in my top 10 favorite albums of all time. Can't wait to give this one a spin on the player when I get a chance to later ✌🏻

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

One of my all time favorite grunge albums. I have this artwork hanging on the wall of my apartment.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

5/5

Another timeless record. Love the instrumentation on this more than most other Oldfield records

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

5/5

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

4/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Such a killer record. Always worth coming back to this one.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

2/5

Never cared too much for Megadeth. I've tried and tried but they just do not strike a chord with me. Maybe someday.

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

This honestly might be my favorite Nirvana record. So many gems on this one.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

Beautiful record. Love Coltrane.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

Modern classic. RIP Chester.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

5/5

I'm convinced Zappa's brain must've naturally produced too much DMT or something. He didn't need to use them to get it. For someone who not only didn't use, but despised psychedelic drugs and its entire culture, he truly made some of the greatest psychedelic music this world has ever seen, and this unique work is absolutely no exception. "What's there to live foooorr"

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Not even gonna listen to this today because not only do I know every song, but I have heard them all so many times I'm about tired of them. Undeniably an incredible and jamming album nonetheless.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

Classic psychedelic record. Always love giving this one a spin.

Pink Flag

Wire

2/5

Not feeling this one tbh.

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
