On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

I like Neil Young in small doses apparently. Like the banana taffy of musicians, it's good but nobody wants to chew on 8 pieces at once. Song hilights: Rebel Blues and On the Beach.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

1/5

Making this unemployed bum work awfully hard.... Just absolutely too funky for me, but I was inspired by the youtube comments. There are some hard-core EWF fans out there. My nerves are fried but if I have to pick a favorite it would be Africano, that was some serious Jazz flute.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

When the intro was playing I expected a serious techno-vibe album. You gotta love that Slow techno build, half-way between itchy and orgasmic. Then it went in 74 different directions and it was funny? Us V Them was my favorite musically. Sound of Silver was my favorite lyrically. Getting old is dumb, but being young was dumbest.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

4/5

I must admit that I really only listen to his more popular songs, so this was a nice dive.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

2/5

I (VERY) obviously haven't done enough drugs; or at least not the right kind. This is another one I can appreciate for their musical contribution and leave it at that.

Atomizer

Big Black

4/5

Noisy punk!! Yes!!!!!! I tried to get my kids to mosh with me to Karosene but they're lame.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

Brits are weird. I'm not sure how I've never heard of them but it was interesting.

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

5/5

Loved it. Need to listen more to full appreciate.

Sister

Sonic Youth

3/5

Craptastic.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

2/5

How much LSD does it take...

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

I ♡ Lou Reed. I like to pretend he's my ultra weird uncle and I'm just so proud of every one of his quirky songs.

Ingenue

k.d. lang

2/5

It's just so depressing. Top song - Constant Craving

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

Raekwon

4/5

I just love 90's rap.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

2/5

I would play this at the nursing home Luau themed brunch. No track highlights.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

3/5

I'd listen again, just need more weed to calm the unsyncopated madness.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

1/5

The Byrds suck. Sorry.

Pearl

1/5

Two thumbs way down. Not a fan.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

Odelay

Beck

5/5

Love Beck, this album doesn't miss.

Chelsea Girl

Nico
