Led Zeppelin

4/5

One of Led Zeppelin’s best albums. The guitar work is the part the stands out the most to me. Cool riffs.

Connected

Stereo MC's

2/5

Good production but way too 90s for its own good. Did not age well and a lot of songs sound like someone mocking the typical 90s sound and rap style.

1/5

This type of 80s aesthetic will always be nostalgic to me but my goodness this is unlistenable.

Miriam Makeba

3/5

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

Pretty crazy how Adam and the ants went from sounding like animal collective to David Byrne and David Bowie. Some songs were a miss, but I enjoyed most of it.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

3/5

This album has half of all of the unknown songs I heard from my dad’s radio growing up. They probably should’ve worked on their editing, though.

Aphex Twin

5/5

Eternally Yours

The Saints

3/5

Meh

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

Typical 60s psychedelic tripe. Basically a lot of songs about drinking tea and spending time with your grand nanny. Some of the melodies weren’t that bad, so it earns a two star.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

1/5

Like Elliot smith, but boring lyrics and repetitive drab melodies.

Solid Air

John Martyn

3/5

Not sure about those mumbling vocals, but pretty good instrumentals.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

A collection of great pop tunes that I used to listen to every day in my mom’s car growing up. There are a few stinkers in it though towards the end of the album, so it’s not perfect.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

1/5

Holy hell this shit sucks.

Make Yourself

Incubus

3/5

I really wanted to give this a 4, but the lesser known songs on this album are below average and even though the hits hit hard overall it’s just pretty good

3/5

Live Through This

Hole

2/5

Common

3/5

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Too much 60s psychedelic influence for my tastes. The Killing Moon is a great track though.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

4/5

I really like the aesthetics of this album and there are more often good songs than stinkers on here. Feeling kind of generous on this one today.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

4/5

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

4/5

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

2/5

Like a shittier REM with worse song writing.

I Should Coco

That single is atrocious, but I must say I was impressed with the rest of the album. Especially the last two tracks

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

4/5

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

3/5

I was never a meatloaf fan, but I gotta say actually listening to the entire album wasn’t really that bad.

More Specials

The Specials

3/5

There’s a lot of unique and sometimes trippy stuff here, though unfortunately it goes too far into ska territory sometimes.
