3.5

Amnesiac by Radiohead

Meh. Still just not a fan of Radiohead.

21 by Adele

There is no doubt that Adele has a terrific voice and one of the great ones of the ages. However, I hate her content. I wish she would venture into blues or even jazz. I feel like her voice is much more suited to that type of music. I get that the money making is the pop songs, but they're all terrible.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized

Very interesting album and I was not familiar with them before.

Pyromania by Def Leppard

Warehouse: Songs And Stories by Hüsker Dü

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt

Sulk by The Associates

If I heard heard this album back in the '80s, I'm sure I would have given it a five. But I'm a little older now. It was reminiscent of the lot of stuff that I listen to when I was a kid though.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

Another late '80s early 90s sounding album but I'm sure I would have loved back in the day. I know I have heard of this group, and I've probably heard a song here or there, but had never really explored them before.

Homework by Daft Punk

All That You Can't Leave Behind by U2

Superunknown by Soundgarden

Eternally Yours by The Saints

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.

The music's not bad, but for lyrics I give it a zero. I really do not appreciate the misogyny in this kind of music.

1999 by Prince

One of the most creative creatures in many lifetimes.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce

25 by Adele

Adele undoubtedly has one of the best voices in the last 50 years. However, she sings shitty pop songs. Her voice is definitely a five, but her content is a one. I wish she would move to jazz or blues. I think her voice is very much suited for that.

Take Me Apart by Kelela

Timeless by Goldie

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

Graceland by Paul Simon

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band

I was not aware of this band before, but they were pretty interesting. Probably not something I'd listen to a lot, but I'm glad it exists.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith

Not really my type of music, but very enjoyable.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle by Bill Callahan

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert) by Bob Dylan

I love Dylan's music and I love Dylan's message, but I really hate his voice.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa

Solid 2.5. not something I would probably listen to again, but it was kind of fun.
