Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

not that great. just not a fan of bob dylan's voice. 3/5

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

pretty good. started slow but then turned into more rock, like the smiths but more upbeat. the killing moon was my fav

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

5/5

Essential album, loved it from start to finish.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

3/5

It was alright, everything was the same 90s alt rock feel, nothing special

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Great track, felt a little long but the banter during the show was fun and I liked most of the songs

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

Good album, but a lot of it sounded the same.

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

Your typical electro 80s album, kind of disappointing honestly. Opened real strong with the first two songs or so then everything sounded the same.

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

Started out great, even though it was repetitive everything had a good beat. But you can only do that for so long. Still good.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

2/5

Hipster beat poet meets jazz. His banter was amusing and the jazz was jazz but not my style

Dry

PJ Harvey

2/5

Not a huge fan, mostly because it was nothing special the songs were ok. Didn’t help that I was listening to this on the road.

Tago Mago

Can

3/5

This album was a journey. 7 songs and over an hour. It started off pretty good with good rhythm and catchy beats, but got sort of weird psychedelic by the end. The 17 min song really took me out of it.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

2/5

Not great, there was one or two songs that were ok but the rest was not my style. Seems like another experimental album with jazzy themes and strange lyrics

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Good

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

Reminds me of cake and the talking heads. Kind of an alternative techno funk hybrid, not the greatest.

Close To The Edge

Yes

3/5

Well made album, with good instrumentals. Some songs were way too long though. And you and I was a good one

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

1/5

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

mid, too aggressive for me

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

2/5

Risque

CHIC

4/5

Certified classic

Gris Gris

Dr. John

1/5

Weird jungle music

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

5/5

Certified classic

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

3/5

Decent, your average countryish folksy music

The Slider

T. Rex

4/5

Similar sounds by songs but they were all good

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

2/5

Not good, more like spoken word and not at all catchy

4/5

Classic

Solid well made album with good instrumentals. I actually really like David Bowie now

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

3/5

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

not as good as folsom prison, but still a classic I would say. I like the banter with the crowd, and the catering of the songs towards prison inmates

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Solid album overall, some fantastic songs and also some mediocre ones. I felt like a lot of it was filler/wasn’t memorable in any way, but the good songs made it worth it. Favorite: turn to stone

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

very mediocre

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

On the upper end of 4 stars for sure. Not something I ever would have listened to, but the rawness of this album makes it really enjoyable. Started off slow but was all good songs for the rest.

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

Solid instrumentals but I couldn’t get behind some of the lyrics. I should give this another chance sometime

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

seems like a very popular album but I only like a few of the songs

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Mid rock album, only two songs caught my attention so it wasn’t terrible

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

classic dolly parton, her voice just isnt for me. good songs liked a few

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

3/5

Surprisingly good, but way too long I didn’t listen to the whole thing and it got weird by the end

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

3/5

It wasn’t bad, but this was very forgettable R&B music, which isn’t really my thing

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

This is certainly one of the jazz albums of all time

Queens of the Stone Age

4/5

Actually great rock, but the lyrics were not great.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

not bad actually, but not my type of music and nothing made the playlist

4/5

More low key queens of the Stone Age with better lyrics. I liked it.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

I really wanted to like this album, since I like everybody wants to rule the world, but it was really mediocre. no songs stood out to me

Led Zeppelin

5/5

One of my favorite albums. This band has a sound that I have not heard anywhere else, a nice mix of blues and rock. Some songs dragged a bit but there is little else to complain about. Pretty much a perfect album.
