The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

Not my jam... It was funny to hear what everybody parodies, though.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

I was actually surprised. I haven't really listened to much Kanye, and I can hear the merit...I'll also say that this guy can't sing. He's like a Bob Dylan. Can write, can arrange, can't hold a tune but some people love him...

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

5/5

Oh! I really enjoyed this... Also realized that he wrote one of my favorite songs on the Amandala! soundtrack. The kids didn't even complain.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

The Talking Heads are weirdly delicious. I like a lot of their songs, but haven't really put them into my rotation...that might change now!

Blur

2/5

This was not my jam today. I don't mind Blur in general, but turned this album off just a few songs in.

Fleet Foxes

4/5

A good chillaxing album. Pretty standard Indie rock.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

I like the Who. I didn't get to listen to the whole album (my daughter switched it to Katie Perry, what can I say), but it was solid classic rock.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Gotta love the Boss. I once camped out with a friend to get tickets to his concert and wasn't even going to go... Listening to him always takes me back!

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

I mean...I like it. It's really good--these are obviously incredibly talented musicians. I find myself easily distracted, however, which means it's good background music...?

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

90s flashbacks!! It was good for the memories...

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

5/5

I mean, how can you not love Little Richard? He's amazing. If you need a pick-me-up, here's your album.

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

The growl + the blues + the occasional weirdness just does it for me. The basic drum + guitar are simple, but feel fresh.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

Generic. Bah.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

Neither continuous frenetic jazz nor 20-minute songs will ever be my thing. That being said, there's talented musicians here.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

3/5

This feels VERY 90S. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

Not my jam... It was funny to hear what everybody parodies, though.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Can't go wrong with the Rolling Stones! I do enjoy their bluesyness.

The Stone Roses

5/5

I hadn't even heard of these guys but really liked this album. It's interesting how it grew in popularity over time.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

3/5

I liked selected songs...bluegrass and the blues are awesome, but this is a long-ass album. Obviously talented musicians!

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

4/5

Boston

4/5

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

I've never heard of these guys, but dig it. Some good, some not great.

Only By The Night

Kings of Leon

3/5

I actually didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Not a lot of range and the best ones were on the radio ad nauseum already.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

5/5

LOVE. This is the best of hip-hop...can't not dance!

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

5/5

Already know I love this album.

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

Metal is not my thing, but I can tell this is good.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

3/5

Meeeeatloaffffff. That guy can sing, but there's only so much meatloaf I can deal with in one sitting.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Nostalgia is the best sauce but this is still a solid album.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

Such a classic!

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Not bad, Isaac, not bad.

NEU! 75

Neu!

3/5

I think I can get behind this kind of elevator muzak.

Van Halen

4/5

How can this not rock your socks??

The Man Who

Travis

3/5

Meh. Not a lot of variety between songs.

1999

Prince

5/5

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Solidified. Also featured all the Tears for Fears songs I know!!

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

I mean...it's Elton John! I feel like a few of the ballads are odd choices for subject matter...didn't age too well.

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

2/5

Meh. I couldn't pay attention.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

I like some of these songs...some are just...noisy.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

2/5

Fun, but one song was enough

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

I like this album, but all the songs sound alike.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Solid album!

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

3/5

The xx

5/5

I really liked these guys...never heard of them before!

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

3/5

I'm really liking this album...granted, I'm working so it's background music at this point. I'll have to sit down and soak up the content at another time.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

2/5

Solid punk. Unfortunately, I can't do more than 2 punk songs in a row before I start getting annoyed.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

5/5

I do not like Jack White by himself, but it's great when he's tempered by others (White Stripes, Raconteurs).

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

3/5

I like Leonard Cohen but I wasn't feeling half these songs.
