Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

Great start to finish, clearly a heavy influence on their New York brethren, the Talking Heads.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Good live jazz record but nothing mind blowing

The Velvet Underground

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

I've never been a big fan of the 90s British alt rock and I went into this album with low expectations. The first three songs were essentially what I expected but Late in the Day grabbed my attention. By the time Sun Hits the Sky ended I started to become a fan. I could imagine a live performance of Sun Hits the Sky being jammed out and I found myself wishing the end of the song continued on longer. For me that is when the album hit its stride.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

One great song and a bunch of decent songs after. Courtney definitely led with the heater

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

Not usually my preferred style of music but I appreciated a lot of this album, catchy riffs and lyrics, high energy. I liked Beverly Hills and World Up My Ass and a few other songs but probably won’t be revisiting this one much. The drumming on Paid Vacation is cool too.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

2/5

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Very good early 70s funk album dripping with late 60s influence. My favorite track by far is the closer - Thank You For Talkin’ to Me, Africa. Such a fucking groove on that one!

On The Beach

Neil Young

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

4/5

This album is far better than I gave it credit for when I was a teenager in the 90s! Some really great songs on here, and an important foundation for the sounds to come after.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

2/5

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

This album has that classic Beach Boys sound with great harmonies but it doesn’t quite do it for me. It sounds trapped in the mid 60s, right before The Beach Boys got cool and made Pet Sounds. I won’t be revisiting this one.

Low-Life

New Order

4/5

First half of the record didn’t grab me but side 2 is straight fire. Really dug it

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

4/5

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

Remedy

Basement Jaxx
