Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

So glad I listened. Perfect for lazy day and a glass of wine 5/5

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Never having dived deeply into the Beatles, there were some songs here that I have never heard. I don't know how often I would chose to listen again, but it's a great album. Tomorrow never knows is a song I will revisit. The production is so ahead of its time.

Peter Gabriel

2/5

I was dreading the day I had to listen to 80s pop. This one is not for me. Mercy street was a nice suprise

Funeral

Arcade Fire

2/5

Not for me

Parklife

Sparks

3/5

I'll probably never listen to this again, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

Paul Simon

3/5

It was fine. Nothing stood out for me, but it was pleasant to listen to some old familiar songs and many I had not heard before

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

I enjoyed the music, but all the songs sounded the same.

The Streets

1/5

What the heck was this? The first album I just couldn't get through the whole thing

Vulnicura

Björk

3/5

I like Bjork as a cool person and was looking forward to diving into her music, but I didn't really enjoy this album. I appreciate her talent, but not my jam.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

2/5

Liked the music and lyrics, but really hated his voice and accent.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

Was not expecting to like this after reading the other reviews, but I thought it was great. Long hippy jams are awesome in my book!

Fun House

The Stooges

4/5

This was was a riot and I'm hear for it!! Fun listen

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

Loved this album. My partner is a metal head. I can't listen to some of his music, but some I actually like. Now I can add Iron Madien to the list of likes. The clear and intelligent vocals set them apart for me!

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

5/5

This was fun! I want to spend some more time with this album

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

2/5

I probably would have scored this one higher if the subject matter was not so cringe. I did enjoy the music and listening to French music makes me feel fancy.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

5/5

It's Dolly, what's not to love!! I was actually a little surprised at some of the subject matter in If I Lose My Mind. I really loved the positive messages. Early Morning Breeze makes me think Dolly also wakes and bakes lol

A Hard Day's Night

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

1/5

I like some metal, I really do. I will listen to the iron maiden album again, but I just couldn't get through this one. I am not saying they caused the headache I still can't get rid of after 24 hours, but I'm not saying they didn't.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

5/5

Enjoyed this one, and will probably listen again and explore more of there music

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

I like Tom Petty but was bit blown away by this album

The xx

5/5

This is kind of my jam. I have listened to the XX often as they tend to come up when I let my player continue to play similar music as somethng else I have chosen. It's not really groundbreaking music, but I like it a lot.

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

4/5

The enemy is my enemy is my friend?? While I prefer some love and light as weapons to combat the hypocritical, fascist Christian right, I get where he is coming from. I didn't expect to like this and I don't know why he was canceled so I am not considering that in my rating. Dug the music, too.

Dire Straits

3/5

I remember this one from my childhood. I thought I would like it more

The Cure

Great Album. I had listened to a Cure song here and there, but never a while album. The instrumentals were fantastic

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

5/5

I loved this so much!! If other albums were 5, this was a 10

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

5/5

This is Leonard Cohen at his best. Iput off listening for a few days because I felt like it would be emotional for me, as my father and musical mentor is also now in the process of dying

Kenya

Machito

5/5

This was fun! It was a great background for some light afternoon chores

Walking Wounded
