Woodface

Crowded House

4/5

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Pyromania

Def Leppard

4/5

Pretty good. A little too glam pop metal for my tastes (they did more or less define the genre), but I still liked it. Was good enough to make me listen to some of their older albums, which I did not enjoy. Possibly some of their work after this one will be decent.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

I quite liked this album. Its very short and all the songs are short as well. Nothing about it was amazing, but it just felt nice to listen to.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

1/5

I hated this. With a passion. Hard to express how much. I think maybe it reminds me too much of a different time in my life. Or maybe I just really dislike this type of music.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

1/5

Not for me. Loud discordant. I had a hard time getting thru even 30 seconds of any track on the album.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

I liked this album. This is the album that their big hit 'Last Night' comes from. Overall a fun, casual listen.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

It turns out I don't really like Bob Dylan.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

5/5

Really liked this one. Kind of radio friendly rock in the vein of Elton John or Billy Joel. A little more mellow than both. But really enjoyable.

More Specials

The Specials

1/5

Ska is just not for me. I tried

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

I've never listened to a full Beatles album before. Really great. There's a reason they are one of the biggest bands of all time.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Another artist who is so well known for a reason. Really enjoyable listen.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

5/5

Thought this was great. Old school upbeat R&B. It’s the album that the track ‘Who’s that Lady’ is from.

Black Metal

Venom

2/5

I listen to metal somewhat often, but I just have never liked Venom. It just doesn't feel like music to me. I can see how their style influenced 80s thrash metal, which is one of my favorite genres. So I can at least appreciate that even if I dislike the album.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

5/5

Really great classic rock.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

3/5

This was OK. Nothing wrong with it really. Just not my type of music

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

Better than the other Bob Dylan album I listened to, but there is just something about Dylan that grates on me.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Enjoyable classic rock. A tad on the slow side for me but I still liked it.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

4/5

Good for what it is. Its the type of album that I enjoyed listening to but don't really feel an urge to listen to any of the songs again.

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

1/5

Oh boy. This is not for me. Kind of weird, slow nothingness?

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

2/5

I suspect that this is a great album for jazz fans. It had some moments I enjoyed but overall I just have a hard time getting into this style.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Really liked this one. Kind of fun, trippy rock.

Among The Living

Anthrax

4/5

I didn’t care for the opening track, but their style grew on me as I listened to the rest of the album. Probably my least favorite of the Big Four, but growing on me a bit.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

5/5

Great album. Good from front to back.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

5/5

This is the reason I'm signed up for this. Love this album and have never heard of the band before this.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

A bit different than I was expecting. But overall pretty good 70s trippy rock type album

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

I ended up liking this a lot less than I expected. I was just sort of bored throughout

Microshift

Hookworms

3/5

This was OK. A bit boring. I didn't actively dislike anything about it, but I didn't actively like much of anything about it either.

Pretenders

2/5

Sometimes a style of music is just not for me. This is one of those cases. Even the best songs on this album I found to be just OK.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Classic. Really enjoyed this.

Boston

4/5

Really solid album from front to back. I think it doesn't quite hold your attention all the way thru but there certainly weren't any bad songs on the album.

The Undertones

3/5

Fun album. Had several songs I didn't know I knew.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

Really didn't like this album. Just felt a bit bored throughout.

Paul Simon

2/5

Eh. I didn't really dislike any particular song on this album but I didn't really like any of them either. Felt like mediocre background music.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

2/5

This double album wasn't not for me. It felt like I was listening to the same song on repeat for the 2 hours.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Some really great songs on this one. Sledgehammer and In Your Eyes are really good. There are a few mediocre songs in the mix too, but overall really enjoyable listen.

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

4/5

Really liked this one.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

Pleasant voice and a few songs I enjoyed. But overall found myself a bit bored

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

I must be getting old because this didn't even sound like music to me.

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

Loved it.

The World is a Ghetto

War

4/5

Great album. One of the songs got overly repetitive but other than that the only flaw is that the album doesn't have more tracks!

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

It was OK. No songs I particularly disliked, but nothing memorable either.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

2/5

Oof. This was not good. The 2 famous songs, "Stop" and "Been Caught Stealing" are pretty good, but the rest of the album is downright awful.

S&M

Metallica

5/5

One of my favorite albums of all time. Metallica and a Symphony Ochestra is a match made in metal heaven.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

5/5

This album really blew me away. I was not prepared for it. The raw emotion in her voice is something I've never heard. Amazing.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Loved this album. You can definitely tell why he became such a big star.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

Enjoyable but forgettable.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

A few good songs

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

2/5

Eh. A little boring.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

Wow. I did not like this at all.

Cross

Justice

5/5

Normally not my style of music, but I really enjoyed this one. Cool electronic music. Not sure the sub-genre but I liked it.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

I didn't think I would like this one but I rather enjoyed it. He's not a great vocalist, but his voice has a certain quality that's just... I dunno, nice? Not sure what it is. Just like it.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

3/5

This album always seemed way overrated to me. Its not bad, its just not all that amazing.

The Specials

2/5

Ska just isn't my thing. Really disliked this one.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

Didn't like this much. Felt a little cheesy.

Jazz Samba
