Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

Fragile

Yes

3/5

Mix of short melodic Guitar Riffs and 10 minute musical journeys. Soft lyrics and gentle guitar with drums, heavy riffs inbetween

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Raw - Mundharmonica und Banjo gehen hard

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

amazing synth, high notes, an energy only black people posses

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

Quite mesmerising, like opening a time-capsule. The Album is a live-recording from the 50's, you get the experience Sarah Vaughan improvising and interacting with the audience, laughing, all probably long dead. Quite the experience. And her voice is just.. to fall in love with.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

1/5

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

Whole array of different vibes, amazing scratching, but more if a background noice, than anything to fall into completely

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

2/5

Simple uplifting R&B of the 50s

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

Damn P-Funk, can't belive I only just now heard of their existence. Each song just makes you want to move to it. You recognize so many elements from newer music, truly a staple for generations of musicians to come after. Funny to see some lingo still being used in rap today!

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

4/5

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

1/5

Smooth Jazz, people were probably wilding to this at the time

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

Not necessarily my taste, but damn do does Riffs go hard holy smokes

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Hype hype hype - you wanna punch the air and start a fire in your living room

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

Haven't thought about Coldplay in years. One of my earliest music-memories, always playing on the radio in the car as a kid. They're much more vibrsnt and have greater variation in tones than I thought. Great rediscovery!

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Geladen, zährende Leidenschaft, hoffnungsvolle Sehnsucht - Starman immer gänsehaut

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

2/5

Love the vocal range, reminds me of Jack Stauber

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

Groovy, upswing, feels flat sometimes

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

2/5

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

4/5

Magnificent irish voice, reminiscent of the cranberries lead singer. Minimalist instrumental. Melancolic tone. Songs of lost love

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

2/5

Nice 3 Instrument Jazz just flowing, lead changing between the 3, something you'd rather want to see live.

Shaft

Isaac Hayes

2/5

Smooth black energy

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Smooth operator, smoooooooooth operator

The Cars

3/5

Great 70's rock, gotta love it

Guero

Beck

4/5

Amazing, chill early 2000s - laid back nostalgia

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

One of the most influential Albums of the early 2000s, everybody knows it and can sing along. Sadly was a bit overplayed on radio, so it lacks a punch, it otherwise would have. DONT WANNA BE AN AMERICAN IDIOT

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

1/5

Huh, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is supposed to be some sort of psychadelic, hippi-epic. I don't know what I should have expected, something like Bohemian Rapsody fits the term 'epic proportions' in my mind. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida did try to open a door to some unholy dark place, but I was not the one to enter. Maybe it is something real special, in another time, in another state of mind..

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

Puh, tuff to get into at the beginning, but damn does this album tear you apart und put you back together again! Really pushing the boundaries of what can be enjoyed as music, while always holding on to a sense of melodie. An atmosphere thats really one of a kind!

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

3/5

Crazy atmospheres to fall into, but not necessarily something to dance to. Partly reminds me of St. Peppers.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Amazing alt-rock. ahead of it's time, your suprised the album was released in the 80s when listening for the first time, could have just as well been released 2 days ago.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

3/5

You make me feel, you make me feeeell! Aretha Franklin's unmistakable voice over some jazzy instrumental will always feel timeless.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Neil young the goat

The Band

4/5

Didn't know about them, but they go hard! Nice 70s rock

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

3/5

Uncharted territory for me. Scared me a few times while listening, but then it had me in a vice grip.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

1/5

Lovely, but didn't throw me away

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

2/5

Lovely

Cut

The Slits

2/5

Rudimentary, trashy punk music, that somehow works. The Slits don't know how to play instruments or sing, but they know how to make music. Nothing soothing, but challenging.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

Just Beautiful

Urban Hymns

The Verve

4/5

It's a bittersweet symphonyyy this li-ife.. fucking banger, takes me back. Great music from a great era. Ashcroft, one of the last classic, drugged up rockstars

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

A true Epic, exploration of different instruments and combination so masterfully and gracefully done.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

4/5

Never heard of them before, but damn they go harrd. Energizing 90s rock, switching between laid-back melodies and then melodically punching you in the face again

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Great calofornian garage/punk rock. Bavkground guitar kinda stays in this same sharp, fast rythm througout.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Classic, just peak 90's rap, great flows, hard hitting vocal punches, laid back beats and excelent samples. What can you say - fucking badass music making whole generations jump up and down

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Really chill music, to indulge or just leave running in the background (one of few albums i can keep playing while studying). Melancolic voice in an uplifting way, nice acoustic guitar and a calm trumpet on one or the other occasion, what more do you need.

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

2/5

Not my drift, but nice country mixed with different influences from neighbouring genres.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

2/5

Chill rock, like Talking Heads is known for. Voice is unmistakeable, textst kinda quirky sometimes.

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

3/5

A album worth listening from beggining to end. Really unique sound

New York Dolls

1/5

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

2/5

Not particularly my cup of tea, but you can't hate this kind of upbeat music from the blindest motherfucking music genius

Beautiful Freak

Eels

2/5

Nice alt-rock, calm vocals and distorted instrumentals.

Dust

Screaming Trees

3/5

Grunge

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

Classic christmas songs everybody has at least heard 100 times

The Joshua Tree

3/5

With or without you I cant live eith or wothooouut you! Every single song you have at least hear once on the radio as a kid.

John Prine

2/5

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

3/5

Finally some music even my girlfriend can get behind. Thanks to you Goldfrapp for providing some common ground between her and me.

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

What can even be added

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

2/5

Late 90s early 2000esque white girl pop music. Unarguably fantastic smoith voice, nice hip-hop elements.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Daamn didn't realize I missed reggae in my life

Album cover already got me sold

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

1/5

Mit dem Kas kannst mi jogn, a anfoch abisl zu vü Christus do drin für mein Gschmock

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Ray Charles the goat, you feel really posh having this is your background music while eating or studying, but nothing I'm crazy about. Seeing videos of him performing live is crazy tho, you see the energy flowing through him, something music close to your heart makes you feel, and I can vibe with that.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

5/5

One of the fucking greatest Rap-Almbums of all time

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

Newer heard of Herbie Hancock, but his shit slaps. Nice background music, to have conversations while driving, to read, etc.. Like the backdrop to the movie of ypur life.

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

Surreal, kinda demonic accapella

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

One of my fav Bands, not one of their best albums

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

3/5

Havenr heard oh them. Very unique fushion, atmospheric

Goldie

3/5

Chill lowkey D&B Neuro type music. Great for studying or have something in the background, thats not to distractong but you start to move your head

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

One of a kind duo

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

3/5

Bir overwhelming but it works

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Just knew about their bigger hits, but damn they have so much to offer.

Vivid

Living Colour

4/5

Damn really slept on this one, nice mix of rock, funk and hiphop

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

2/5

My least favorite of all their Albums

Cypress Hill

3/5

Slept on this one, some nice 90s rap

Joan Baez

2/5

Beautiful voice, but more of a background music to me, not something to indulge in fully.

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

Incredible mix of different genres feeling so fresh and alive still today

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

3/5

Chill, beautiful voice, supringengly wide range of different styles, some almoust house-like, while others more rudimentary

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

2/5

Rich voice, over various beats including country/folk and also more jazzy sounds. Some up-beat (hopp-hopp-hopp) type music and than also some drawn out in-the-feels kinda music.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

1/5

Kind of music that rather annoys me

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Such a smooth, consistent album, damn his style is amazing

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Legends, so much from them and Young in here

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

5/5

Just read into elliott smith and damn how could i sleep on such talent. Beatiful soft voice in a changing mixture of different genre and styles. With certain people you instantly realize how they understand music on a different level. Mastering all different kinds of instruments and blending different perspectives on music. Not only that, but Elliot is someone you realize has so much to tell you, music is his vehicle. Someone to defdinetly insulge in deeper when given the time.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

Wow, beautiful covers of bamgers, giving them a new twist

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

An album and a band i will have to explore deeper, what a blast i had

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

Overlooked, there is so much in here. A full and rich 2h joirney through this consistend mood harrison creates.

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

1/5

Rather exhausting for me

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

Beginnings of a legend. His iconic, cartoonishly drawn our voice (almost on a sarcastic level, like he's drunk or trying to impersonate trump, or both) over guitar. Already with his iconic mouth piece. Very folky, before his big rock hits. Not something i go crazy about, but really interesting where he came from

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

2/5

Went in with high expectations, but ended up having to force myself through the album.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Classic, but doesnt hold up much today, there's some nicer jazz and better singers, seems more like a cult of personality to me

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

Just resonates with me, maybe the beatles just work better on acid

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Curtis is so overlooked todaY

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

4/5

Listening to this shit drunk at 3am on the bus to the safety of your home is a hell of a ride. The whole album takes you through these different worn-dowm atmospheres and you forget about time for a while.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

5/5

My name is, my name isTschika Tschika Slim shady

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

2/5

You either love or hate Elvis. His music's not really something I care about, but you can't deny hiow iconic and recognizable his sound is.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

Some nice Jazz, great for studying, not distracting, but not too exciting either

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

3/5

Had totally forgotten.about them. Very maticulasly crafted, catchy tunes. They sound silly sometimes, but the lyrics are genius.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

2/5

Nice 60s Jazz

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

2/5

One of the earlier stones albums, not.as sufisticated as the big oned later on

Unbearable Album with some bangers and interesting bits carefully sprinkled in

Bob Dylan

4/5

Slipknot

3/5

Kinda goes hard if you open yourself up tp it. Cringiest lyrics tho

Shadowland

k.d. lang

4/5

Luckily got to listen to this walking alone at night, through a strange town smoking my last cigarette. Giving the whole atmosphere the perfect frame. Such a unique vibe.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Not my favorite from one of my favorite bands, but gotta listen again

Rocks

Aerosmith

2/5

Thought id like this one better, maybe because it stands in the shadow of their earlier work, but just sounded repetetive to me

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Not the biggest fan of michael, but no doubt an all-time classic. Fav song coming out of this 'Letter to my unborn child' heee heee

Kid A

Radiohead

2/5

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

3/5

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

3/5

Soulless, industrial pop on one hand, fucking catchy on the other. Some fun memories with ..one more time, most of the rest just went past me, maybe I was just to young to have been really hit with the britney spears train, or it was just neber something for.me

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

AaaaaaaaaaAAAHA-AH!

White Ladder

David Gray

2/5

Not a big fan of this in-the-feels white-boy singer-songwriter type of music, but I can see why everybodys mum will fuck with something like this. Really is background music for looking out the train-window on a rainy day.

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

1/5

Really had to force myself

1999

Prince

4/5

Damn I wanna fuck this album (In parts eerily reminded me of Jack Stauber, just listen to Let's pretend we're married)

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

4/5

I think I was just raped by Alex Harvey

Kick Out The Jams (Live)
