Hotel California
Eagles
I first listened to this album in full in early college years, about 1985-86. I, of course, knew most of the songs from the radio, which was always playing as we swam in the above ground pool out at my grandparents farm. I aunts, who were only a very few years older than me, had a transistor radio playing near the pool ladder. As well, throughout my high school career from 1981 to 85 the radio filled my time in my bedroom, and the Eagles played often. When I started buying 33 rpm albums in 1980, which quickly progress to cassette tapes, I focused on the pop songs of the day, which did not include the Eagles. Today I consider this a top 20 album for my ears, containing one of the top five songs of all time.

I see where the Jacksonβs sound came from, and where Prince heard funky. Not my go to sound but I appreciate the music being so different from the end of the Beatles and the beginning of Led Zeppelin.

The KΓΆln Concert
Keith Jarrett
Its been years since I last listened to this album. I found this in my Windom Hill Sampler days of college. Today, 35 years later, it sound even better. In truth, I have a deep fantasy-desire that I could have played music such as this. But alas, I am meant to listen and appreciate what I can.

Daydream Nation
Sonic Youth
Now I know why I didn't listen to this work in college. Many of my friends in architecture school were Sonic Youth fans. I don't enjoy their sound. It's probably amazing for the period when set against pop rock, but to my ear the music has nothing on Bauhaus and The Cure.

Back In Black
AC/DC
8th grade. My favorite year in all my school experiences. And the year this seminal album was dropped on us unexpectedly. While a bit trying to my ear today, side two remains one of those \"event\" in music history that opened ideas and pleasure centers in the brain. Personally I had to go backward from this work of AC/DC to discover Bon Scott, and truthfully I didn't go much forward with this band after this music. But damn... side two... amazing sound.

Psychocandy
The Jesus And Mary Chain
While I believe I should like this album I don't. It is of "my era", and fits with music such as Love & Rockets and The Cure, but the constant 'in a cave' sound irritates me. I'm certain the album belongs on this list, it's just not on mine personal list.

Sufjan Stevens
My first exposer to this music. While I appreciate the art, and believe it to be Phillip Glass influenced, I don't care for the thin voice work or the lyric. I would listen a second time to possible undo a first impression, but I can barely mark this as a 2. I'd rather just listen to Phillip Glass.

This album landed about two years before I got hooked to the radio at age 12 and fell in love with music. So, beyond One Way and Heart of Glass, I donβt know the majority of the songs. And they donβt speak to me today at 56 years old. Iβm lacking the nostalgia factor to rate this more than a 3.

Not a true fan of Alice, however the music composition on this album (first time listen) was excellent. His lyric always seems immature to me, however if seen as humor, his poetry is damn funny. Intelligent. Not certain I would rush back to listen to this one again, but enjoyed it well enough for a 3 rating.

Actually
Pet Shop Boys
Two or three Pet Shop Boys songs in a row are fantastic. A whole album gets trying. They created a few great moments with their songs, but missed the depth and color of Depeche Mode and Eurhythmics. Still, this album brought back great personal memories of this era.

There is so much to hear in this album. The ignition of The Police, the coming of The Cure, the depression of The Smiths. Seems much started here at the fusion of ska and punk.

Heard these sounds before. In most cases the original music I was remined of was of much higher quality.

Cosmo's Factory

This album is a collection of great songs. Itβs not necessary that they are from the same album thanks to 1980s classic radio. Some of the individual songs would be five star. But the album remain four for me.

Music
Madonna
This is an odd album of hers to have on this list for me. I find this album extremely annoying as the beat is too electronic and repetitious. But maybe that was the point. Anyway, weβre ray of light is a superb album this one I have to skip through to even come close to making it to the end. But itβs Madonna! So fuck what I say.

This music was a decade late for me. While the Police and U2, followed by The Cure and Kate Bush knocked my love for music a mile down the road in one step, Nirvana - with respect - does not.

Iβve never understood the fame of The Who. Thereβs nearly no registration of excitement for me when I listen to Tommy or almost any other who album. I love a few of their individual songs, but after three of them, Iβm done. I figured there must be something wrong with me.

This album reminds me why, in my formative years of music listening, I looked back to the 1970s inspiration. This album sucks.

Many years ago I had a teammate who sheepishly told a private story about going to a Dead concert in New Orleans. He dropped acid and got arrested going into the concert. I dislike the dear enough to think he got the better end of the deal in the end.

I was suggested normally Iβm pretty quick at drawing. A conclusion on music are here for the first time. But this album has me perplexed. I think I like it but then Iβm not sure.
