Miles Davis
3/5
Not a huge jazz fan… rated it a 3 because I understand from a technical standpoint, this is a great album, so my rating is more of one out of respect for Miles Davis and his contribution to music. it’s just not my cup of tea.
Dr. Octagon
2/5
Part rap part horror/sci-fi. The beats were good (the only reason I am giving this a two) but the lyrics were cringe… and let me tell ya to listen to this while working in the hospital was wild. 😆
PJ Harvey
3/5
Enjoyed the listen, but it’s not my favorite PJ Harvey.
Stevie Wonder

Good classic album

All the classics. This was fun to listen to while driving on the highway.

Great album. Especially when driving through the mountains!
Country Joe & The Fish

Highly recommend taking an edible and listening to this by a campfire. That’s how I enjoyed it.

2/5
You’d think I would like this more than I did but it’s all slow songs and the songs were kind of just meh.
Amy Winehouse
4/5
I enjoyed this album. Though Back to Black is better. The first song was the most early 2000 song ever (read: mildly offensive). But the rest of the songs were good. Fuck me pumps of course being the best.
The Velvet Underground

I love Jay Z. My favorite album is The Black album but I enjoy The Blueprint as well.
Turbonegro
3/5
I liked this way more than I thought I would. I would probably give it a 2.5 if that was a thing but I’m feeling generous. Lol
Bill Evans Trio
2/5
I put it on while working as background. It was fine. Not my vibe. I just am not a jazz person. At least it didn’t give me anxiety like most jazz.
Sonic Youth
4/5
The Young Gods
2/5
The entire time I listened to this I kept picturing Bruce Springsteen dressed as Pennywise singing French metal in a circus tent. 🤷🏻♀️ it is unique but I probably won’t listen again.
Franz Ferdinand
3/5
I enjoyed this. I would listen again.
3/5
Bob Dylan can write one hell of a song…but he can’t sing it…and shouldn’t.
The Doors
3/5
The Doors are great.
Also it took me 42 years to realize just how creepy “show me the way to the next little girl” truly is. 😬

If halves were a thing I would have given this a 2.5 but they aren’t. I just can’t fully give it a 3. I liked it though.

Haven’t listened to RHCP in a while. Enjoyed listening again. But I think they are a band you can only take in smaller doses.
Duran Duran
3/5
Nine Inch Nails
4/5
There is a version of me in the timeline of my life that would have given this a 5. But I am just not that version of me. I did however enjoy listening to this again after all these years, more than I expected to.
John Cale
2/5
I listened to this the same day as NIN 😆. It was fine. Nothing overly special to me.
Paul Simon
5/5
No notes.
Supergrass
3/5
I had never listened to them before. I like the album. Would listen again.
Blur
3/5
One of those bands that I immediately recognized the name but couldn’t recall their music. Enjoyed some songs. Others I could have done without… like the last one. What was that? Might listen to it again someday…. But probably won’t.
David Holmes

Techno just is not my thing.

Sade
3/5
I grew up listening to this album because my mother loved Sade. Not my cup of tea but there are a few songs that I enjoy.
Fela Kuti
3/5
I felt like I was in a heist movie. Like the part where the go over the plan and you see the characters doing all the things… very oceans 11. I liked this but am unlikely to listen again. This is something I would give a 2.5 if I could but I will elevate it to a 3.

I was in to this album in highschool because I worked at a record store and we played it in the store a lot. For nostalgia purposes it’s a 3.5.
