Lou Reed · 1 likes

5/5

Solid. Caroline says FTW. I like all of this. The Bed feels like an Ari Aster film. Phenomenal.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

This is one of those albums I feel like I need to know the history of but I liked it. Oh my gosh I just read about it. Holy crap.

The Cars

4/5

I was so surprised by this album. Like I knew The Cars were influential but man. The last third of the album was my favorite.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

I am all for this saxophone stuff.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

3/5

Dang fun

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

I have new appreciation for this album. Always heard the singles but never in the intended context. Pretty dang cool

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

I really liked Plug Tunin

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

2/5

Wow. I am not into this. Made it halfway through. It’s not a texture I care for.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Thousand are sailing is my favorite track. Lots of goodness in here.

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

2/5

None of these tracks are really my cup of tea

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Favorite track is Please Don’t Go

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

3/5

I know it’s foundational but I would say at a bird’s eye view it’s texturally repetitive in a way that isn’t too interesting to me. If it was an EP, that would be perfect. Favorite track is Metal and M.E.

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

Well well well. Ok I loved the first Lorde album. I remember thinking when this came out that it wasn’t as good. I was wrong. So much growth but Lorde keeps it catchy and textured. Liability hits me in the gut. Love Hard Feelings.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Going into this and I wonder if I’m going to keep my opinion that Led Zeppelin makes great songs that are just too long. Well I was totally wrong. I really only feel that way with Since I’ve Been Loving You. Liked That’s the Way.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

3/5

This first track just makes me smile. Liked Orange Moon. Just a nice album from beginning to end.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

What an album. I had a grand time listening to it a few times. 57821 and Cold War were some of my favorites.

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

Well. I’m so typical. Perfect Day is lovely. Feel like I’ve never really heard it until now. Satellite of Love is now my fav.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

2/5

Opening to closing these songs are delightful but I don’t find the album particularly invigorating.

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

3/5

Digging The Age of Pamparius and Are you Ready for the Darkness.

Stephen Stills

4/5

Church is my fav. Gol. So good. Go back home. Good hell I love it. Dang. I liked this a bunch.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

2/5

I just can’t be happy today is my fave so far. Can’t say this is my jam but I can appreciate it. Anti-pope vibes with me.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

The Rover for the win. Ok this might be my favorite album of theirs. So many good tracks. Kind of crazy cause I think Kashmir is the weakest track. Yeah it’s a landmark but it doesn’t have the spunk or vibe of all these other tracks. Dang what a finish.

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

City, Country, City is chefs kiss. Wish I was listening on vinyl. Dang this is just a cool album.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

This whole album is cozy. A delight.

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

It’s good. Can’t say it surprised me or anything. Like Baba is the best track. Was hoping another track was going to grab me.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Life on Mars!

Fragile

Yes

1/5

I just don’t like REM 😕

Moon Safari

2/5

It’s fine.

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

So this is not my thing but it’s cool to finally listen to such a landmark. 7th Chamber is so far my fav.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

Visions of Johanna is nice. Wish I was listening on vinyl. As an album I’m just not that into it.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

I’ve heard about this album for decades. Was skeptical but I like it. And this is the best version of Hallelujah. I also liked So Real. Ok so the longer I listen. The more I love this. Eternal Life is the fav.

Trio

Dolly Parton

3/5

Well this is going to be a stretch for me but honestly I kind of dig these harmonies. Favorite track so far is Those Memories of You.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

This needs to be combined with life and listened to on vinyl.

Jive-y but not my style. Return to Oz was cool.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

Classic. I love the first half more than the second.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Sometimes the artist surprises me. Can say half way through that isn’t going to happen with CCR. That’s not a bad thing. They’re solid.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

2/5

I should like this album. I want to like this album. It’s so close to interesting but for me it feels like slightly elevated elevator music.

#1 Record

Big Star

3/5

Nice. I like Give me another chance and Try again.

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Oh dang. I don’t know if I’ve ever listened to the album from start to end. So good.

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

I’m so uncultured. I get it now.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Oooooo yeah! Takes me back. Love how the album ends.

Black Holes and Revelations

4/5

I need to listen to this on vinyl. I love this. Holy crap. Solid. Adore I can’t make it alone.

I must be in the wrong mood or I just am letting my impression of Prince distract from the album.

My Bloody Valentine

4/5

How have I not listened to this album. Wonderful. Summertime Clothes FTW. Great stuff all around.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

4/5

Turns out Wonderwall still slaps? I can’t tell. I feel like I can’t pay too much attention to it cause it feels cheesy? Maybe that’s the whole album? I’ll just dig it from a distance. Ah I like this album the further in I go. What a finish.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

2/5

Oof. Half way through but I find it grating. Like The Weight is good but let’s see what the rest of the album does. Thank goodness for Chest Fever.

Metallica

3/5

Forgot how much I like Orion.

4/5

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

I can’t stop thinking about Ron Burgundy. I don’t have any stand out tracks. It’s meditations don’t resonate with me but I’m sure they impacted so many others.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

4/5

Isolation hits. Dammit the whole album does.

Blue

3/5

It’s got this classic rock thing blended with texture sometime that I really appreciate.

New York Dolls

3/5

Yep. Pretty good.

Faust IV

Faust

3/5

Whats cool about this is that it’s on the brink of something. It’s not just elements that will influence other artist. It’s not something that steals the spotlight from artists, it feels like a building block for a lot of things. Very cool.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

I like Tonight and Neighborhood Threat a bunch.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Classic.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Not my thing.

The Beach Boys Today!

Radiohead

5/5

Perfect.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Thought I would come into this album feeling like I’ve heard it all and it just feels like old news. But it didn’t. Yes everyone is pulling inspiration from Bruce but he’s got so much passion it just holds a place.

2/5

Yep. Vintage country. Cool texture.

3/5

It’s perfect.

Catch A Fire

2/5

I think about you caused an inability to think. Had to skip it. The album isn’t my thing.

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

3/5
