A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Not loving this one. It kind of sounds like James Bond theme music from two or three or more decades ago.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

4/5

Good energy! I like the way it opens, like a rock opera!

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

5/5

Great! Cool covers. I especially liked For No one

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

3/5

Ah! Another Scottish rock band! (ala Fratellis and Proclaimers, except this one has a highly recognizable 90's sound) "what you do to me" is nice. It's the only one on here that I might want to perform on my own.

Scissor Sisters

4/5

Hi energy - great disco-esque vibes. The cover of Comfortably Numb was fabulous!!!! (wasn't available on YouTube Music in US, but found it on regular YouTube).

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

3/5

Oh jeez... I understand what this album stands for in terms of reviving teen pop at the turn of the millennium. But there's not a single track on this album that I was able to listen to from start to finish. I didn't like any these songs before, and I dislike them even more now.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

4/5

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Hit or miss for me. I most enjoyed the first track

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Let It Be

The Replacements

3/5

Too hard. Yelling.

Dirty

Sonic Youth

1/5

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

5/5

I didn't know much about the Cowboy Junkies before this. They are Canadian - which is a great start. The first track of this album is a beautiful solo acapella by Margo Timmins. This album is right up my alley. Soulful, country/folk music with subtle harmonies.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I have this one on vinyl (from my dad's old collection). With Honky Tonk Women and You Can't Always Get What You Want, it's a clear winner!

Mott

Mott The Hoople

4/5

Very classic 70's brit rock. I could picture their outfits without ever seeing them. My favorite songs were the last two: Through the Looking Glass and Roll Away the Stone

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

5/5

Superunknown

Soundgarden

2/5

Mostly not my thing. A little too grungy. Black Hole Sun is the only one on here that I would say I "liked"

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

5/5

Great folk music! Especially liked Birds and Ships & Ingrid Bergman

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

Mr Brightside. Somebody Told Me. Change your Mind... This album is full of hits!

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

I really like "Killing Moon." Most of the other songs didn't do it for me. It has a very dramatic "Moody Blues" kind of sound.

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

5/5

I can't imagine another album that is going to surpass this one. Leonard Cohen's poetry and singing... They just never get old

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

4/5

Tracy Chapman

5/5

I have loved this album since I first heard it back in 1992 (4 years after it's release). It is timeless.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

I love murder ballads!

McCartney

Paul McCartney

5/5

I have this one on vinyl! It's a good one :)

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

4/5

Good energy without being too distracting. I'm enjoying having this in the background while I work.

Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

5/5

👍👍👍👍

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

4/5

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

2/5

Oh geeze. Listened with my GF, who grew up on Linkin Park. They are talented for what they do, but this is NOT my music. So angry, rageful... It's impossible to appreciate the underlying music, chord structures, melodies, or even the other emotions of the lyrics.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

4/5

Not my go-to genre, but her vocals are impressive, and these tracks draw from her 1920-1950's inspiration in an interesting modern soulful R&B style.

evermore

Taylor Swift

4/5

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

Silence Kid has a very "Buddy Holly" vibe hiding behind it's grungy punky rock sound. Stop Breathin' had an out-of-tune country sound. A little Rolling Stones. This is a weird album and I like it. Newark Wilder sounds like CAKE

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

4/5

Crosby, Stills & Nash

5/5

This has to be one of the best albums in the entire list. Period.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

She's one of the best!

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Can you get any better than S&G?

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

5/5

I mean... It's classis Clapton. He's a dick, but his music was phenomenal

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

5/5

Miriam Makeba

5/5

This is a really cool album, and many of the songs are in African dialects, rather than English. "The Click Song" is really fun Also enjoyed Mbube, which is the original "Lion Sleeps Tonight," and a fantastic cover of "House of the Rising Sun."

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Girls Against Boys

1/5

Generic blah. Absolutely uninteresting grungy amateur garage noise.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

4/5

First impression (Track 1) - kinda of Oasis-y (in a good way). I really liked M62 - good brit rock and a little funky N.Y. is pretty trippy - not my thing. Satellites brings up a lot of Coldplay vibes, and while it may not be terribly original, I still enjoy having it on.

Sunshine Hit Me

The Bees

5/5

Mellow. Lo-fi. Spans many decades.
