Jimi Hendrix
5/5
incredible album - first random assigned during 1001 albums
John Lennon
2/5
Besides track 1 Imagine, nothing spectacular. Last 2 tracks good
Jimi Hendrix
5/5
assuming it gave me this one again due to adding group -- will listen again, great album :)
Aerosmith
3/5
Surprisingly, I enjoyed this album and even some of the lesser known (to me) tracks were quite good. I say surprisingly as I am an Aerosmith hater -- in small doses it's enjoyable for this 40 minute album.
The Doors
3/5
cool album, but outside of the more well known tracks, nothing mind blowing. riders on the storm incredible though. Listened through 2x
The Rolling Stones
4/5
listened 2x. once at night and again next day during work. it starts out strong and several songs that are new to me as far as I can remember. 4 star.
Syd Barrett
3/5
not sure i've ever heard any of this album before. actually it's great and one of the reasons i started this project. 4 star for side one, but side 2 is more of a 2 star. average overall. Listened 3x
Madonna
1/5
besides first 2 tracks (famous singles), this album has been a slog.
Dennis Wilson
2/5
based on the original 12 song album, not bad - nothing special -- 2 star. Continued through 2-disc edition of Pacific Ocean Blue & Bambu - CD Deluxe Legacy Edition (3 extra tracks for disc one, and another disc).
Alanis Morissette
3/5
I think I used to own this album, but I don't know if I ever actually listened through it all. About what I expected. Definitely some good tracks on there, but a few a little poppy. Still a solid 3 star. listened 2x
Wire
2/5
cool punk album, cant say i've ever heard it before and it wasn't bad but didn't really catch me.
Grizzly Bear
2/5
started strong, and I've heard some of the music before. as for the whole album, there are some boring tracks a little later, so I will rate this as a 2.
Beatles
5/5
Already one of my favorite albums, and heard 100x before, but re-listen was great. listened 3x
The Residents
1/5
listening to original album of 14 tracks. weirdest album i've heard, maybe ever, but I didn't hate it and most of the tracks were decent. wasn't familiar with art rock 2/5. Continued through 2018 pREServed edition for an additional 26 tracks on Spotify (2h version). Started a 2nd listen through on day 2 as this is probably the last time i listen to this album. Decided 1/5 as I will never listen again.
Isaac Hayes
3/5
classic album and title theme track, rest of the album leaves a little to be desired. watching the 1971 movie (4k remux) while recumbenting. listened 2x. 3 stars for the experience with movie.
Elvis Presley
4/5
4/5 on first listen through. short and sweet at 28 min, but packs a punch. listened 3x.
Ray Charles
2/5
decent album and some killer tracks. 2/5 on first listen as I will likely not listen down the road. Volume 1 only. Listened through volume 2 as well. Listened through both volumes 2x, but still overall a 2 for me.
The Roots
4/5
amazing album - 4/5 on first listen through. listened 2x - very good album
Al Green
3/5
listened 3x - nice easy listening and i enjoyed it, but nothing stands out. 3/5
The Go-Go's
2/5
don't have much to say - decent album but nothing special to my ears. 2/5. Listed 2x.
Klaxons
3/5
catchy album. golden skans a stand out song. 3/5. pretty sure never heard this before but I like it. Listened 3x.
Pretenders
2/5
2/5 - nothing special. One listen through was enough, not really my thing.
Dagmar Krause
1/5
so weird and not my thing. liked the sax and other wide variety of instrument but that's about it. 1 star. Listened to "(reissue)" version on Youtube, split across 3 uploaded videos. ~1h 20m (extra 10 songs). I'm a glutton for punishment to extend this.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
Superstition still a classic - rest of album not bad, lots of backing vocalists on other tracks. Interesting read about Stevie W starting music on label at 12-13. 2.5/5. still listened 2x
Joni Mitchell
2/5
interesting style of folkish, with a nice voice - but not quite my thing. Interesting that Rolling Stone voted this as the 3rd best album of all time... 2/5 - listened 2x, more of 2.5
N.E.R.D
3/5
liked it, but nothing really stood out. 3/5. listened 2x
David Bowie
4/5
fell asleep early on first listen (just tired), but listened through next day. not knowing much of Bowie's back catalog, it is a really interesting listen, but nothing mind blowing. really like the saxophone work - amazing, basically a +1 to overall score. lyrics that I could understand are a bit odd at times. 3.8/5. only 1x listen while awake, but went back and watched MVs for Blackstar and Lazarus.
Bee Gees
2/5
nasally male voice, definitely a change of pace from the 2016 Bowie album that came just before this. slow and soft rock. listened to side 1 (tracks 1-6) first night. 1.6/5 so far. Barely a 2, not worth a second listen in my opinion.
Stephen Stills
4/5
first 2 sides surprisingly great. 4/5. Overall, the second half (sides 3/4) not as great, but still a solid album for sure - 3.75. Listened 2x.
3/5
surprise to hear Thom Yorke pop up, the best song being the one he's on (this mess we're in). 2.6 on first run through overall. Listened 2x
Steely Dan

Sugar
2/5

Fatboy Slim
4/5
been a long time since i've heard this, and i'm sure i've listened through the album many times back in the late 90s and early 2000s + seeing FBS in concert at the Tabernacle I believe... good memories and my first real taste of electronic music. 4.4/5
