Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

All Ratings

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

I remember buying this album on double CD when it came out. Haven't listened to the whole thing in quite a while but was pleasantly surprised that my old favorites still resonate.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

I knew this album back in the day strictly because of Me, Myself and I. This is the first time I've listened to it all the way through. I enjoyed it. There is a weird fixation with the term "doo doo" .

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

Great album. American Girl is a perfect song.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

I remember when this album came out. It sounded pretty different to anything else that was out of the time. Re-listening to it brought back some memories. Enjoyable ones!

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

Several bangers on this one from my youth. We actually have it on vinyl. It belonged to my wife's brother and it came with her in the marriage. Just a great album all the way around.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

It's been so long since I listened to Kraftwerk that I'd forgotten how groundbreaking their was/is. To think that this was their seventh album!

1/5

I just couldn't get into this one starting with the first track. I like Brian Eno and I like David Bowie I just could not find a groove with this one.

Sister

Sonic Youth

4/5

Raw noise from Thurston and the bunch. This takes me back. I was 12 when this came out but I wouldn't hear it for a few years yet.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

This one just has to be five stars based on Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean, PYT, Wanna Be Starting Somethin. Just stacked!
