Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Great album, been a long time since I'd listened to it all the way through.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Such a great album, with so much soul. She's got an amazing voice and all of her emotions come through in every song.

Tommy

The Who

2/5

The xx

4/5

Listening on the train heading home from APC in Ft Lauderdale. Heading home to a wife who doesn't seem to care that I'm heading home at all. Yet to be seen though. Album is perfect for this mood though.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Certainly not sure how this made it into the top 500 albums of the last century. Good album overall if you like the late 60's psychedelic sound. Seems like a rather interesting blend of folk and easy rock that you've never heard of until the last song and then you remember that one song. So essentially a one-hit wonder of sorts.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Taking me back home for sure. Can't grow up a southern boy and not know this album front to back!

Chris

Christine and the Queens

3/5

Good music but the album started to get really repetitive. Stopped listening half way through the album; however, it's an hour and a half long, so I still got in a full 45 minutes.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

2/5

Kind of hokie. Easy to listen to and I get the era it came from.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Classic album for Joni Mitchell. Beautiful voice and an easy album to listen.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

I'd never heard that album before or even know that Bang a Gong (get it on) was from a band call T-Rex. That was a really cool album, very funky and rock forward. Would listen to that again for sure!

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

4/5

That was a really cool album. Definitely bluesy and rock n roll for sure. I can see why Mick Jagger said they did a better job of that combo than the Rolling Stones did. Loved the lead singers voice, it was really cool.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

3/5

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

3/5

INteresting album. Very 80's with a large dose of Jazz inspired riffs. Interesting that they were named as one of the best bands of 1984 by Billboard and I've never heard a single song on the album.

Boston

4/5

Killing Joke

3/5

Interesting album for sure. Good early punk for sure.

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

4/5

I'm pretty sure I owned this CD at some point in the 90's. Great R&B album for sure from that decade.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

Know the album from growing up. It grates on me and it's not enjoyable to listen to--it wasn't back then, it definitely isn't now!

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

I liked the album. I'm very aware of The Kinks but apparently their later stuff. This was a very cool album and I liked the story it told throughout. Could definitely hear the sound of The Kinks in this early work for sure.

Guero

Beck

4/5

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

Classic!

Drunk

Thundercat

2/5

Couldn't make it through the first few songs, very weird and very chaotic music.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Never actually listened to the whole album before but it's really cool. I would have never have guessed that Bohemium Rhapsody would have been the last track on that album!

Bummed

Happy Mondays

1/5

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

4/5

Cool album for sure and I can hear how he influenced so many of my favorite hip hop artists that came after him for sure. This is old school hip-hop story telling, which I love.

Dire Straits

Da Capo

Cool album, very happy-go-lucky music.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

Definitely not my favorite Radiohead album. This one really starts to drone on and all sounds the same for the most part. Very atmospheric overall.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

4/5

I hadn't heard this album before but it's really cool. This is the group that launched De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, and you can hear them both singing on some of the tracks.

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

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

David Bowie

3/5

The White Room

The KLF

3/5

Very weird album for sure. The remix of Justified and Ancient wasn't as good as the original, but it was funny to hear the actual words to the song.

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

3/5

Good country album for sure, lots of classic sounds in the album overall. Yoakam's voice will start to grate on you after a while though, very nasal in it's sound.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

4/5

Definitely some old school English blues! Good ole Clapton from way back in the day.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

4/5

Classic album in which you know nearly every song.

Connected

Stereo MC's

3/5

Good album by somewhat repetitive overall.

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

2/5

Bjork is very talented, there is no question. But her voice really starts to grate on me after a few songs.

Django Django

3/5

Didn't listen to it the whole way through. Interesting band and cool videos for some of the songs. However, started to get very repetitive overall half way through. The notes would change, but the overall meter of the songs were nearly identical and monotonous.

The Clash

4/5

Truly classic punk album, no doubt. Heard every song and it will take you way back.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

3/5

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

2/5

Queen II

Queen

5/5

Hadn't heard this album before but it's really good. Fun to listen to.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

I've heard this album sooooooo many times. This was my go-to in the early 2000's hanging with friends in Boulder/Denver.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Usually like Steely Dan but this album is repetitive and somewhat drones on. Nothing really stuck out.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

5/5

Something about Ryan Adams that speaks to me. Maybe its that we're from the same hometown and grew up miles apart. Who knows. I do love all his music though!

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

Fugees
