1/5

This absolutely should not be on this list. Not good.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

No Neil Young....but still lots of classics here. It reminds me of high school. It was old then, it sounds pretty dated now. There are just a couple songs that were fun to hear again, like Teach Your Children

Lou Reed

5/5

Classic Lou Reed. Quirky, odd, melodic, silly, brilliant

Pearl Jam

4/5

This is the classic Pearl Jam record. Vedder's voice is so on point.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

This is mostly interesting as a peek into a moment in history, the early James Brown Show. The highlight is probably the introduction. There are a couple of fun performances, but honestly a lot of this pretty dated at this point 60 years later.

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

It was fun to hear the hit songs again. Half the album holds up pretty well, half suffers from poor songwriting. In the end, I did not need to hear this entire record. It is a cool album cover though.

Horses

Patti Smith

5/5

I love this album from the very first line that "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine". The excitement in this music is still vibrant. The poetry and emotion and raw rock. Free Money and Redondo Beach are favorites but the whole record sparkles and crackles.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

This the classic Belle and Sebastian chill vibe. Immediately recognizable. Judy and the Dream of Horses is a favorite on this record. And Like Dylan in the Movies.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

This has some great songs, no doubt. But I tire of the sketches and the sometimes ridiculous over-the-top approach to writing these lyrics. And this loses a star just for Roger Waters being such a horrible jerk. I think if you could pare this back to a single (not double) album, avoid the worst parts and try to forget who Roger Waters is... and this would be a true classic.

Fragile

Yes

1/5

Not my thing.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

5/5

This still sounds so fresh. Love the bass lines. The slashing guitars. Floating synths. The vocals and lyrics. Excellent.

Caetano Veloso

2/5

I like the vibe but it is not like I'd oftern or ever desire to hear this again.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

4/5

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

1/5

Not my thing. Also the album cover freaks me out.

B-52's

The B-52's

4/5

This was the fresh amazing sound of the B-52s that was never really repeated. This hasmy favorite songs. So fun.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

Pleasant. This solidifies their standing as more than just a one-hit wonder. But not much more. And this record is way too long.

Murmur

R.E.M.

5/5

I love this album. It is a quintessential indie record. Mysterious, beautiful, melodic. It still sounds great in 2022.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

Eminem is a great rapper. I don't love all the themes he chooses, the mysogeny and homophobia. The little skits don't interest me.

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

Classic Neil Young. I'm a fan.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

I know it is a classic but I'd say a third of the songs are lesser Dylan songs in my book. Visions of Johanna is a favorite. Also Stuck Inside Mobile... it is really good but not my favorite byba long shot.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

2/5

I get why it is on the list. But it is not that interesting to me.

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

3/5

It was a pleasant short country album.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

It is okay. Not so amazing.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

Classic Merle

Slanted And Enchanted

This holds up great.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

3/5

Fun to hear once. I can't imagine I ever listen again.

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Classic. Some of my favorite Nirvana songs.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

3/5

Fierce

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Such a great debut album. Fun start to finish. Not many Southern Rock albums can match this.

The Cars

5/5

This album is so much better than I recalled. It still sounds fantastic from a production point ov view. Great pop rock. Probably a 4.5 but I feel generous today.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

Praise You is fun. There are not many other fun moments.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Love the feeling of this.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

It is an interesting hodge podge. Not every song works for me. And the overall concept is not clear on one listen anyway. The best songs are the hits but really who ever needs to hear Bohemian Rhapsody again?

A Northern Soul

The Verve

3/5

Pretty good but too long. I got bored after awhile.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

5/5

Loved it. The artestry and pagentry and drama.

Elastica

4/5

It has a blistering first half I loved. The second half might be better with more listens, but it was not as good as the first half.

The Madcap Laughs
