Underwhelming overall, but some solid hits.
Elvis Costello
4/5
Very catchy songs that take no time sticking with you.
Pearl Jam
5/5
All-time classic. I was 16 when this came out and still listened to it through the years very frequently.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
4/5
Excellent album with way more well known songs than I realized.
Arcade Fire
2/5
Not really my jam. Somehow indie arena rock is just not a thing for me.
The Killers
3/5
All the good songs were already well played and certified hits. The album as a whole was a bit of a disappointment
Genesis
3/5
Makes me want to watch the animated LOTR movie. Did not age well overall, but still an enjoyable listen.
Beck
5/5
Beck refuses to be classified. Love this album.
FKA twigs
3/5
Album won me over on the end. It was a hard start, but once you settle into the mood it's enjoyable. It stands on it's own and won't make it onto many playlists with multiple artists, but if you're in the mode for haunting, moody, music to focus with, this is the one.
Prefab Sprout
3/5
What an unexpected treat.
Eminem
3/5
Have to admire the craft, however this really does not age well.
Radiohead
5/5
Classic. Solid 5. I was super excited when this album came up for listening and enjoying it through the years but it had been a long time since listening straight through. Still finding new things to appreciate about it and see its influence on other groups.

The Beach Boys
4/5
Classic songs. Timeless hits.
The Thrills
2/5
Great value Wilco.

X-Ray Spex
3/5
Great for their time. Less saxophone would've been nice, but fits the period.
Steely Dan
3/5
3.5 Ssteely Dan never clicked for me, but it's growing on me every time I hear it. Pretty. I appreciate the production value but musically, still not my thing.

The Black Crowes
5/5
Classic for me. Listened through most of high school and beyond. Got me into southern American rock.
The Smiths
4/5
Tom Waits
3/5
Tom waits is always a tough review. He's at his best, for me, with the slow songs. Whenever it ramps up to carnival cacophony I have to hit skip.
Muddy Waters

Neil Young
4/5
Air
3/5
Love Air, this album is a good ambient listen but leans too heavily on the ambience to be terribly memorable.

The Verve
3/5
Overall aged to meh.
Radiohead
5/5
A classic for me and loved passjng down the appreciation to my kids.

4/5
Tears For Fears
4/5
Pure 80s
Abdullah Ibrahim
3/5
Perfectly wonderful jazz. Not my thing.
Derek & The Dominos
4/5
A solid 3 that grew to a four by the time the album finished. Really appreciated the shift from standard southern rock to more blues.
k.d. lang
3/5
Hard to rate this. Not really my jam, and struggling to really place its genre. Country lounge music? I can appreciate the artistry, but it just doesn't click for me.
The Allman Brothers Band
5/5
I've been aware of the Allman Brothers all my life, apparently in name only. What a great album and an instant classic to be sure.

Sonic Youth
3/5
Good listen, but nothing standing out.
Tom Waits
2/5
2.5
Slower the song the better. The less a song sounds like a carnival falling down a mountainside the better.
Julian Cope
2/5
I know he isfamous for reinventing himself, but if every song is different from the next, and they all are terrible..
Metallica

Queen
4/5
3.5 overall, but Bohemian Rhapsody bumps it to a four.
Arcade Fire
2/5
Almost completely forgettable aside from Month of May.
3/5
