Boring. Sounds like an advertising executive’s wet dream.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

All Ratings

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

There are some genuine hits. The rest is kind of dull slow dance music. This album is a pretty solid of the 90’s vibe.

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

3/5

Pretty good start to the synth pop 80’s. Some really good unique songs. However a few songs I thought it was a different version of cars. I’m sure maybe he was playing with themes, but when listening to an album and you have to see the name of the song because you think it’s one you already heard, that’s a problem.

Wild Gift

3/5

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

Just an excellent album. Only surpassed by Disintegration.

Ramones

5/5

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

4/5

This is my first time hearing Spacemen 3 and I m pleasantly surprised. The album is generally much slower and chill than I usually seek out. I will definitely be checking out the rest of their albums.

Traffic

2/5

This is exactly the problem I have with late 60's early 70's music. This is the kind of music that makes me understand why when punk broke it was a revelation. This was the hardest for me to get through. So boring.

The Specials

5/5

One of my all time favorites. The variety and the infusion of punk with ska will forever be copied for years to come after this album. Others have done this to great effect but nothing tops the originals.

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

4/5

Very fun and upbeat album. Never listened to it before. May have heard a few on like a greatest hits or oldies station.

Fragile

Yes

3/5

Really musically fun and experimental. I can't find myself listening to this with the majority of songs being ten minutes or more. But overall it wasn't annoying. Just not my favorite or go to.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

3/5

Very decent mostly mellow album. This album did make me think it was designed specifically for being on movie soundtracks though.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

1/5

Not a fan of country. Even if they try to rockify it. This was hard to finish. But I did. I’m sure someone enjoys this music.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

1/5

Nothing on this album got me moving. I guess it's because this sounded like Billy Squire. I'm not a fan of most glam, and this solidifies it.

Being There

Wilco

2/5

It's very country sounding. Not a fan.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

Its good dad rock.

The Madcap Laughs

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

Surprisingly I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Really really catchy tunes. I'm surprised they never made it huge beside their one hit.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

I never gave this a chance before. I am a big fan of the lo-fi sound. There are a lot of hits on this one. I will be listening to it way more.

I love Blondie. It's New Wave. It's fun. I enjoy this so much. It's a time and place and feels like it in a good way. I like that they were trying different things.
