Calenture

The Triffids

1/5

i hate it so much it's hard to continue listening. It's like christian rock, but somehow cheesier. It sounds like it should be on a kids show, like Romper Room or Barney, with kids sitting around singing about being nice to each other.

Kid A

Radiohead

1/5

ugh, no matter how many people say Radiohead is their favorite band, I just cannot get into it. I like wailing sadness sometimes as long as it evokes some deeper feelings. All I feel is bored.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

1/5

meh, Supergrass is another band for people that like shit like U2 and DMB.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

I've heard all these songs so much, it's difficult to listen with a fresh perspective, but I really tried to. The lyrics are powerful and provide an interesting commentary on the social climate of the time. I wish I could get over Springsteen's strained vocal performance and uninspiring musical arrangement because I think the songwriting is brilliant.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Never really given instrumental piano a chance before. This was beautiful and perfect for getting work done.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

4/5

I've never given Van a chance! I think I wrote him off as a hippie, Bob Dylan wannabe, but he's so much more. What a nice surprise!

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

5/5

Quintessential mid-2000s listening.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

Lace up dem skates and get funky wit it!! get on the good foot!

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

What an icon.

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

It's nice to remember that rock and roll did not, in fact, die in the early 2000s.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Without a doubt, the best Rolling Stones album.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

wish i could give more than 5 stars

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

4/5

This is the perfect album for inspiration. I put it on while writing up a product proposal and it was great background music, but didn't get annoying or monotonous. I felt a littler braver while listening.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

1/5

Feels like it's trying too hard to be edgy and emo.

Calenture

The Triffids

1/5

The Visitors

ABBA

4/5

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

4/5

Bert Jansch

1/5

This is not for me. It's like listening to a drunk hobo in an alley while you have a hangover.

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

2/5

I see why 1967 liked this one.

Virgin Suicides

Air

1/5

The Predator

Ice Cube

1/5

I can't take Ice Cube seriously anymore

I Should Coco

Supergrass

1/5

meh, Supergrass is another band for people that like shit like U2 and DMB.

Among The Living

Anthrax

2/5

Sounds like it's trying to fill a gap somewhere between Metallica and Guns n' Roses. That gap did not need filling.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

1/5

Thanks. Now I am bored and sad.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

5/5

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Didn’t think I’d enjoy this. But it was nice while getting some work done.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

Wasn't as good as I remembered it. Maybe I am just old now.

Graceland

Paul Simon

1/5

I don't think this aged GRACEfully. It sounds like a commercial for an organic breakfast cereal targeted at kids.

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

3/5

I dig it. It's like if Evanesence had more punk and grit.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

5/5

I feel biased because this album pretty much defined my early adult years. One of the only CDs that was in my car.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Without a doubt, my favorite Cash album. His best? Probably not, but it's the one I've continued to listen to over and over again my whole life.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

Had this on cassette in my first car as a teenager. Too biased to write an objective review. Obviously one of the greatest albums of all time.

Leftism

Leftfield

4/5

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

5/5

Slow Rollin Low has got to be one of the best songs of all time.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

5/5

had no idea that I have been listening to this band my whole life. Guitarist Steve Cropper is in the Blues Brothers, the greatest movie/band of all time.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

The person who made this list really loves the White Stripes, I guess. Can't blame em.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

Yesss, I forgot how much I liked Jurassic 5!

Kid A

Radiohead

1/5

ugh, no matter how many people say Radiohead is their favorite band, I just cannot get into it. I like wailing sadness sometimes as long as it evokes some deeper feelings. All I feel is bored.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

4/5

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

2/5

so hard to take bon jovi seriously these days, but it's actually pretty good.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

4/5

First time hearing this! I dig it.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

It's giving me Rocky Horror Picture Show vibes. I'd describe it as emo glam. Very theatric. Makes me want to put a cigarette in one of those long holders, sip some absinthe, and lounge around on my velvet furniture.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

1/5

I just can't hear this any more.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

3/5

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

5/5

absolute perfection.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

4/5

giving St. Vincent vibes

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

I can really hear the influence that David Bowie had on Jack White in this album. And it does not sound like something made in 1971. It could be released today and still be just as great. Timeless album.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

3/5

Ramones

5/5

Perfect.

Arrival

ABBA
