Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

3/5

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

3/5

I can see why this album is a classic, and there's no denying of the talent behind it. But most of the songs felt too similiar to each other, and many sexual bits to an exaggerated point for an album. What's the deal with all the sex sounds?

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

Heartwarming. Great for background (in the best way possible) and creating an atmosphere

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

3/5

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

4/5

Couldn't help but thinking to myself "this is music".

Tommy

The Who

3/5

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

4/5

This album has a magical feel to it

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

3/5

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Moon Safari

Air

1/5

I didn't suffer for about 10 seconds in total listening to this. Not my style AT ALL

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

1/5

This one really does feel like a punishment to me. Can't even get to the end

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

4/5

It took a few tries to get in the mood of this one, but it was worth it. Virtuous and full of substance.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

5/5

This is ACTUALLY an album you have to hear before you die. Even if rap is not your thing, this album is flooded with undeniable talent. Eminem really knows how to tell a story. I'm still impressed by the creativity this man has.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

4/5

It wasn't the easiest listening but I enjoyed it. I like punk and it was interesting to absorb some of it's origins.

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

3/5

Decently pleasant to listen to but nothing to write home about

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Solid album which I'd visit again in a better mindset

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

Feels like an album that should be experienced either live or in a very specific mood

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

4/5

It's not my style but I enjoyed it, it felt a bit different and like I need to try and explore the genre more.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

I love The White Stripes, but wonder why this is the recommended album. It's definitely not their greatest album.

Virgin Suicides

Air

4/5

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

It's good music, but not great music. Pleasant to listen to, but most of it won't stick with me. A 3.5/5.

Django Django

4/5

I'm ambivalent on this one, it's a 3.5 for me. It feels like a band I should explore more deeply and the songs do have character, but most of them don't feel like they're going to stick with me. Maybe it needs another listen, so for the sake of that doubt I'll give it a 4.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

2/5

Tubular Bells

2/5

The album is mostly annoying to listen to. Was powering through it worth it for two pretty good songs? Not really. Maybe I'll check out a different album from John Grant.

The first half of the album was fun but for the second half I just waited for it to be over, so 3/5

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Third

Soft Machine

2/5

Some was nice (I feel it's more of a live music type of listening), some felt was really annoying to listen to.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

2/5

On the verge on being unlistenable. You really have to put a lot of effort to connect to this.

3/5

Phrenology

The Roots

3/5

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

2/5

Setting the iconic song "Brothers in Arms", it's really not my jam. Something in the vibe of this entire music makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

A force to be reckoned with.

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

1/5

In 3 words: 80's movie montage.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

I really enjoyed this one. I managed to listen to the entire album in 2 sessions and didn't feel it was too much. Works for a lot of different moods

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

I will give it a second listen, but it has some beautiful and touching songs. I felt it.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

Was prepared to like it, but I didn't really enjoy this one.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

This album felt like an experience in evolution. The experimenting of each of the songs made "Psycho Killer" happen. So although most of the album was a 3-3.5 for me, the experience itself deserves 4 at least :)
