Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

This album feels like a summer day with gentle breeze

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys

I liked this way more than I thought I would.

Jan 26 2023

Very nice. Reminded me of early Pink Floyd

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jan 27 2023

I enjoyed more than I thought I would. Especially Shiver and Yellow.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jan 30 2023

Great album from the disco era. Produced by Nile Rodgers.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 31 2023

Black Sabbath was still rocking at this point, but the cocaine was kicking in.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Feb 01 2023

Not a big fan of Madonna, although I do like a handful of songs. None on this album unfortunately. Big fan of Prince, so I liked his duet with her. I'm rating low because it's not my type of music.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Feb 02 2023

I was really surprised by this album. Great guitar and bass. Thoroughly enjoyed.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Feb 03 2023

Wow, how did this make anyone's top list? This wouldn't even make my top 50 albums of 80's rap. Not even the collaborating with De La Soul could lift this up past meh. I've seen her perform and she was fantastic, but this album has nothing special on it. I see why she had to go into movies.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 06 2023

The only thing keeping this from being a perfect record is the stupid alien bit at the beginning. I mean it was probably cool the first time you heard it, but that's it. Then it starts with Up From The Skies, which I always thought is a very underrated song in the Experience catalogue. It just keeps getting better from there. I've always loved this album and it shows Jimi's versatility as a guitarist. The Experience is in top form as well

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 17 2023

Such a 70's album.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 20 2023

Great Pumpkins Album. Skip the slow songs

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Feb 23 2023

Not sure how this album made anyone's top list of anything.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 01 2023

Not my favorite Stevie album. Too many slow love songs and ballads

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Mar 02 2023

I like to call this musicians music. All my musician friends love this because every band member is incredibly skilled. But if you don't know what a pentatonic scale is, it just sounds like smooth jazz.

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 08 2023

Been a long time since I listened to this all the way through. Just rock solid from A to Z. Killer guitar tone.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Mar 29 2023

A truly unique singing voice. Great album to smoke a joint, grab a drink and chill

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Apr 04 2023

This doesn't even make my top 1000 albums of 1968

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 06 2023

If Billy Joel and Elton John had a baby and then forced him to sing Neil Diamond songs, that would be this album

2112 by Rush
Apr 07 2023

Not my favorite Rush album, but it has some top notch songs.

Cross by Justice
Apr 12 2023

Not a fan of electronic music. D.A.N.C.E. was a good song tho

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Apr 14 2023

One of the albums that helped launch hip hop. One of the biggest drawbacks of a lot of early hip hop albums is that they are dance albums, so the songs tend to run long for dance purposes. A lot of them would be better songs if they were cut down to 3 - 4 minutes.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Apr 17 2023

Such a beautiful voice

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 18 2023

Nice album

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Apr 20 2023

This album feels like a summer day with gentle breeze

Diamond Life by Sade
Apr 24 2023

One of her bests including the underrated "Why Can't We Live Together"

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
May 03 2023

It's fine for what it is. I guess if you had a head full of molly it's easy to listen to. If you like melodies or bridges or even a drum roll you are out of luck. Sorry, you just get one rhythm for straight minutes

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
May 05 2023

Look you can't like all musical styles, so I expected there would be a few albums I struggled with. But I've been listening to rock my entire life with a particular fondness for 60's rock. Not familiar with the Small Faces, but no the Faces. Anyways the album starts and it's not too bad, I can see why they needed to add Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. Then Happiness Stan came on and I couldn't listen anymore. Get outta here with that Ren Faire, Shire of Frodo reject. Not an album I needed to hear before I die.

Document by R.E.M.
May 08 2023

Solid album

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jun 07 2023

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jun 08 2023
Suicide by Suicide
Jun 09 2023

Not my kind of music

Jun 15 2023

I love his music with the Belmonts, but this is such a mature album. Your Own Backyard is a great song
