Bruce is great, the band sounds great and the lyrics are good, but I just never got into the whole product.

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

3/5

Amazing how times and tastes change. Nostalgia for the early 2010's. Loved this when it came out, and still do, but this is now relegated to background music. 4 songs is all you need before moving on.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

4/5

Haunting. Not into 60's psychedelic, but this is different. Learning the story behind the album while listening made it more powerful. Will never listen to it again.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

50 Cent

R.E.M.

4/5

Great album. Heard everywhere when I started college. Sometimes hard to determine if it's a good song or good memory

Manassas

Stephen Stills

2/5

Perfectly fine without any stand out features. Nothing to remember

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

2/5

Never was a member of the Fanclub. Strong Big Star influences with a touch of Lemonheads.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Jams last a bit long, but great funk

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

2/5

Not my thing. Sounds bland and very 90's.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

I love her raw sound and don't give shit attitude. Not something I actively choose to listen to, but always enjoy when it's on.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

Early 90's hip hop at it's best. I will listen to the album in it's entirety until I die

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

2/5

Appreciate the lesson on what you are hearing. The album becomes too long and chaotic for my tastes.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

3/5

I love Bonnie Raitt, but there are definite ups and downs in this album. Some great pop and blues, but also late 80's elevator music

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

5/5

One of the original rock and rollers. 50's rock was never my favorite style, but Little Richard gets 5 stars for his contribution to modern American music.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Bright Flight

Connected

Stereo MC's

5/5

Just love the beat. Was something new when it came out and still pops up on the radio.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

I like Janelle and her beats, but the music gets a bit repetitive. Enjoyed the back end of the album.

Suede

2/5

Boring. Boring. They are trying so hard to be artistic

Marcus Garvey

En-Tact

The Shamen

5/5

That was amazing. I've never heard of this group. Would have been 100% into these guys if I had discovered them when they came out in the early 90's.

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

3/5

Rated 3 more for memories than love of the music. Song was everywhere when I moved to Chicago at age 23. I never understood all the hype.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

4/5

Never heard of them. I Like the sound, but sounds similar to other Brit-Pop

Beck

4/5

I enjoyed this. I go to Beck for upbeat fun, but this shows a matured personality

1984

Van Halen

5/5

Pump

Aerosmith

1/5

No. Never. Aerosmith copied the Rolling Stones and should have died after their 2 good songs in the 70's. Run DMC should get royalties from this band.

3/5

Not a metal fan, but I like elements of this. The repeating instrumental of Big Money and Stinking Drunk stick with me. I think the vocals detract from the music.
