Madman Across The Water

Elton John

5/5

I didn't listen to the whole thing, but it has a lot of great classics on it. EJ has had it the whole time.

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Solid. Lots of piano. I hadn't expected that. I think the way we use represent! Comes from the song represent. Also catch me in queensbridge

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

It might get a fifth start on a second listen, but it was good. Def. Variations on a theme

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

Mostly familiar. Sort of show tunes. Fun for a moment.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

Not like anything else I've listened to. Adrobeat +politics + I'm not sure what.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

Two long tracks. The drummer on the first track must be a machine! That symbol just cruises all the way through. It's sweet kind of ethereal, like a dream.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

4/5

So 80s and so Cohen. My favorite part may be the bg vocals. Lovely if more dated than I would have expected

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

I liked this more and more as it played on. Beth Hirsh's sings killed my. So sweet. This is almost a genre into itself I thought. But when Spotify played massive attack and portished I wondered if I haven't kissed s while gender of sweet ethereal rock

Ingenue

k.d. lang

4/5

Still lovely!

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

B-52's

The B-52's

5/5

5* for The animal sound effects on rock lobster alone, but a fun jam. Classic. Hilarious. Short!

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

5/5

I forgot 16 shells from this album. In my imagination, apparently, it was much more recent like mule variations recent. Anyway, classic album. Real gems. Listening with headphones I heard lyrics I'd never noticed before. Tom is a genius still but he was definitely a genius then

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Shoot, most of the songs on the first greatest hits album are on this album. Really lovely

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

So much sex song. Of course, I'd listen to him sing the dictionary. I wonder if that shit ever really works with the ladies?

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

The music is okay. There's some pretty rad saxophone. Musicality is alright. It's hard for me to get past the exploitation part of "blacksploitation" I guess or maybe I just didn't listen to enough times to feel it. Not a favorite.

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

5/5

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

Lovely. Not always my cupa

Viva Hate

Morrissey

4/5

Morrissey being Morrissey

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Holds up. I really do love the album, and I enjoyed listening to it again, but it's difficult for me to give it five stars. I guess I think of the 5th star as being "classic status," and it doesn't feel that way to me. 10 years from now maybe I'll change my mind

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

4/5

GREY Area

Little Simz

4/5

I'd even heard of little Simz. I really enjoyed the album. P power and all that. Some cool genre mixes. Lots of bravado.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

5/5

How do I not know about Louis prima and Keely Smith?

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

I forgot how many of these songs... Aren't on Thriller...

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

Some parts were cool. I see why at the time it came out it may have had an impact and how that impact may have carried through, but it just didn't enjoy it that much

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

4/5

Holds up. Rough and sweet in even doses. Dredges some nostalgia for sure.

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

3/5

Music about sex and not in the cute way. But also not quite silly. Funny at times, rude all the time.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

HOLDS UP

The Who Sell Out

The Who

4/5

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Some times I really enjoyed it. Some times, though, all I could think was "dated". Usually that means I need a couple more listens to get past it. It feels like they both lost and gained something important after Joy Division, anyway. I'll listen again. Also, that CHIN. whoa.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Probably the top of the top tier albums to mix the class and sound of an older age with darkness

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

3/5

Sometimes beautiful and reminiscent of the Beatles, sometimes kinda empty and immitative of its era... Or maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Fun. Also, make whoopie
