Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

I may get hate for this but Bowie is overrated. Don’t get me wrong, I love him, but much of his catalog doesn’t do that much for me, and this isn’t his best album. A couple of great songs and then some fairly interesting stuff. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

I love the Yeahs, but this album is a little boring.

Adele

3/5

I’m not 80.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Zeppelin is the best band ever.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

There’s nothing I can say about this album that hasn’t been said already. The cream!

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

3/5

Not my jam.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

One of my all time favorites.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

Strange and interesting. Not really sure how I feel about it. Was a fun listen, but probably won’t go back to it anytime soon.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

5/5

Simply brilliant.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

So good but not quite five stars.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

3/5

Dylan. One of the most amazing songwriters ever, but I have a hard time getting all the way through this one.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

The best

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Musically pretty great, but lyrically just the same old gangsta crap. Sorry but guns aren’t THAT cool.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

3/5

Interesting I guess.

Dry

PJ Harvey

4/5

PJ is bomb.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

4/5

Classic

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

Better than Heroes, I think.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

I dig Iggy!

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

3/5

Most of the songs sound the same.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

2/5

Nope

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

3/5

MC5 is fun, but I’m not sure they deserve the legendary status they have achieved.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

Love the Kinks. Not my favorite album though.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

Nice listen. Pretty and interesting. Not blown away.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

3/5

Huh.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Sly is awesome.

The Undertones

3/5

Meh

Buena Vista Social Club

5/5

One of the best things to ever happen to humanity.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

One trick pony

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Beck is amazing but this album is a little sleepy for me.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

A masterpiece.

Blur

4/5

Super interesting. I’ve never really checked Blur out, but now I feel compelled to dig deeper.

The Cars

4/5

I grew up with the Cars but have never listened to this whole album. The few songs I hadn’t heard before were interesting but not earth shattering. Overall they’re a lot of fun but I rarely seek them out. Great for drunken singalongs.
