Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Classic Janis, had never heard the album in its entirety but familiar with many of the songs.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

4/5

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

2/5

Not really into this. Went in thinking it would sound more like the Cars. Not sure because of the era, or because, well, Cars. Not surprising that I did not enjoy the album as the Cars song I never really liked either.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Classic

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

This didn’t age well.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

3/5

Not really my thing.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

5/5

Really nice evening listening. Who could fault Willie ever.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

So good

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

5/5

So good listened twice back to back.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

3/5

Frampton was never really my thing. A little too young to be mesmerized.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

Probably a solid 3.5 stars. I definitely liked this more back in the day, and I’ll be curious as to how well the albums of the noughts fare. Not well, I presume.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Strong

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

3/5

Might give it a second listen. Interesting. Prob influential to a number of Oughts bands; Hot Hot Heat, Hives…

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

3/5

Probably one of the only albums I don’t own that will be on this list from this era. Listening to it now, I realize this is the reason I didn’t own it. It’s not that good. It’s ok. And sounds typical for the era and fairly unremarkable

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

There’s one song I like. You know the one.

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

4/5

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

5/5

Know this one by heart. Should give another listen. Should also own the CD. I’ll add it to my list.

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

5/5

I get it. Fantastic

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

5/5

More familiar with the later, Where You Been, which was a seminal CD for me in which I can remember when I first heard it, with who and the apartment we lived in at the time. Great music can take you back that way and keep it preserved there for eternity. Not sure that I had ever heard this one in its entirety but it is wonderful in the same way. I’ve always thought sometimes too much Dinosaur Jr. all at once is more than most people can handle. I’m sure in my consecutive plays if Where You Been, I could shut it down after two songs. DJr. can pack a lot into two songs.

Fragile

Yes

3/5

No really my thing

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Young Americans

David Bowie

5/5

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

Suzanne Vega

4/5

I own this. Not my favorite Suzanne Vega album. But solid.

Arise

Sepultura

3/5

Didn’t finish the whole thing - but I think I kind of get it. I’m not sure there will be a five star album from me from this genre, it’s just not my thing. The thumping chugga chugga, I find a bit monotonous but I’m guessing metal fans find my music boring by comparison. I might try to listen to the whole thing - I just gotta pick my setting correctly.

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

3/5

I guess I kind of get it. I like the wry sarcasm of say, the Magnetic Fields more. But I might listen to this again.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

4/5

Solid. I can listen to this frequently without it being a favorite.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

5/5

Really enjoyed this one. Right from the first track.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

4/5

Got into a bit of a rabbit on this one. Know the album pretty well, but things I learned afterward. 1. Scottish band 2. Karl Wallinger, of World Party was a part of the band prior to this album. He was part of the Waterboys during ‘Whole of the Moon.’ And left the band during that tour. 3. There is a song called ‘World Party’ on this album. Not sure if the timeline on all that.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Classic. Perfect.

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

Not as good as I remembered

Atomizer

Big Black

3/5

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Boring

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

I can already tell I’ll probably like this whole album. I’ll give it a 4 star review and then give it greater consideration later. Funny co-worker story: for whatever reason co-worker thinks I’m a huge fan and he will always work in EATB into the music conversation whenever he can. I guess I should have listened to him then.
