Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Fantastic singing, but the songs didn't immediately grab me.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Love the glam rock - it's a fun listen & Bang a Gong bangs! Very listenable, lots of attitude, love it!

Gorillaz

3/5

Album started slow, but has some catchy tunes. It's got quite a variety. While I don't love it it's interesting, some of the songs I'll add to a regular playlist I keep.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

5/5

Stunning, what a solid record start to finish! Love it.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

5/5

Loved this - it sounds so psychedelic consistently throughout, yet each song feels like it's own. I heard so many sounds and riffs that influenced artists after this was released.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

5/5

So raw, so wonderful

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

4/5

This grew on me as I listened - new and different, yet familiar. It's really well-layered and nuanced. Looking forward to giving it more listens, I think it'll keep revealing more and more each time!

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

3/5

Dwight sounds timeless, unlike all his peers making a buck off the country music trends of the day.

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

5/5

Love the rawness, this will grow on me over time. Wish I ran across this back when I graduated high school.

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

4/5

Slowly grew on me as I listened, really great album, ahead of it's time.

Boston

4/5

Heard it so much, but still brings on the nostalgia!! It's a 5, but a 4 for me!!

1984

Van Halen

4/5

This hit in high school, got a ton of play from me and my friends. Has a special spot in my heart.

Odessa

Bee Gees

2/5

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

2/5

There are parts I love but they don't seem to mesh into something I truly dig. The music is awesome, I like Ian's singing style - I felt Morrison vibes at times, which I like. Perhaps will give it a few more listens.

Guero

Beck

4/5

Still sounds fresh even though familiar, loved it!

Pelican West

Haircut 100

2/5

Heard some nuggets that sounded familiar and funky, but overall didn't do anything for me as an album.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Some monster Stone tunes on this record, some that sound like jam sessions trying to mimic American music that happened to be recorded. Like a lot of Stones records there's some killer tunes, and some dudes, which I can live with.

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

2/5

I made it through about 15 minutes. I'm sure it was pretty good for it's time - it didn't resonate with me.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

There are a few songs I really like. He's unique and a treasure, but I never have gotten into his catalogue. Will give it a few more listens.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

Pretty good, groundbreaking, but not my jam.
