Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

All Ratings

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

A slice of nostalgia from my days as a teenage skateboarding wannabe punk. The opening half of the album is still great and the latter half still kind of falls flat. Not going to find anything too deep or profound here. They knew their audience - angsty, anti-establishment teens.

Liquid Swords

GZA

5/5

Classic mid 90s hip hop. Still slaps

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

2/5

Enjoyable background music but otherwise way too long

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Iconic. Some songs are still great. Others less so. The beats definitely feel dated.

Moving Pictures

Rush

2/5

Never been a big fan of prog rock. Tom Sawyer is a good song at least

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

A peaceful, beautiful journey through life that ends up feeling a little disjointed with the second side

Medúlla

Björk

1/5

Too experimental for me.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

2/5

Boring

Feast of Wire

Calexico

4/5

Indie, mariachi, jazzy, folksy. Very interesting

Adele

5/5

Adele is an absolute legend

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1/5

An album I enjoyed as a teenager but one that hasn’t aged well. Not sure if it’s because songs like Scar Tissue and Californication have been played to death on every rock station across the country or if it’s the lyrics or Anthony Keidis’ voice or what but I just can’t stomach it anymore

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

2/5

If you forget the fact that Morrissey is an asshole it’s a decent album but…Morrissey is an asshole.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

3/5

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

4/5

I’ve never listened to an entire Elvis album. I can see why he was such a hit. Very catchy pop rock

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

A bit too cheesy 80s dance music for me

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

I forgot about this band. Solid indie rock that holds up well

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Depressing grunge

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Kendrick’s age shows on this one. There’s some bangers for sure but it’s mostly just your typical gangster rap themes - robberies, drive bys, getting drinks etc.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

3/5

Can’t stand her voice.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Haven’t listened to much Hugh Masekela. It’s a good album. Makes me want to check out more of his stuff

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

I can think of more iconic (politically and culturally) reggae albums but it’s still quite good
