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

David Bowie

4/5

The Cars

4/5

Great album.

Garbage

3/5

Study times. Still remember them but even back then thought they were so so.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

I forgot how funky they are. Awesome horns and lots of love

Debut

Björk

2/5

Not a fan them or now really

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

I still love this album but I think I overplayed it because it didn’t feel fresh when I relistened.

Queens of the Stone Age

4/5

The Joshua Tree

5/5

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

2/5

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

Weirdly prophetic title. Still a solid album. Very funky.

Rage Against The Machine

2/5

Sounds funky and angry. Its ok but was not and still isn’t my favorite.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

Not bad. I’ve never listens to his music before. I guess it skims a little deeper than pop, but still to saccharine for me

Goo

Sonic Youth

4/5

I have always liked Sonic Youth but I also think if you listen to the entire album at once, it can get a little repetitive. Still , they have their own sound and you have to respect that. Kool Thing is probably the best track, although I like Dirty Boots and can hear where they must have been influenced by Violent Femmes

Picture Book

Simply Red

4/5

Soulful and satisfying.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Reminds me of a Tarantino soundtrack. I’m not mad at it.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Kimono My House

Sparks

1/5

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

1/5

This album is just silly. Trying to sound artsy and just silly. ‘If sex were an Olympic sport, we would win the gold ‘? Please

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

5/5

Just classic. The sound of the 60’s setting a high standard for those that came after. Each musician is excellent.

The Score

Fugees

4/5

I forgot how good this album was. Honestly it was so popular that it was way overplayed and I was sick of it pretty quickly.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Loved this. I have only heard a few songs here and there and always found the interesting. I’m sure there are better words than haunting and thought provoking, creative and deep but right now that is what I have to describe how much I enjoyed this album.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

5/5

Low

David Bowie

5/5

How do you get a better than remastered Bowie ? Clean, crisp, classic. Beautiful

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

I really liked the instrumental arrangement but the lyrics not so much.

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

Not my fav but I can appreciate the music

Foo Fighters

5/5

This is why I fell in love with The Foo Fighters!

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

I really enjoyed this. I feel like I have heard so much of his music without knowing who it was.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

This is a superb album and the most whimsical of all the Zeppelin albums with JPJ really using his keyboards and sound effects.

Slipknot

3/5

Os Mutantes

3/5

Melodic and weird. So many layers of sound. Experimental at its best. Still, I would put this on repeat.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

So are we judging the album or the person? I read some reviews and I thought this was about the music. There is no question to this man’s talent and contribution to early rock and roll.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

What could be better ? Sublime

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

This is what I think of when someone says Bob Dylan. He is a master but I can only listen to that voice for so long. lol.

Illmatic

Nas

3/5

So I was surprised how groovy this album is because I have not listened to more than part of a song every now and then. It is still out for me but I can appreciate it.

Elvis Presley

4/5

I forgot how pure his voice sounded right from the start. I realize there is a remix on this album but that’s OK because it was a great song. What a debut. The first million-selling album of the rock and rock genre. You can hear the rockabilly and touches of how he will sing gospel as well.

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

2/5

Not my favorite. Little too whiny to let me enjoy the melody.

Gorillaz

3/5

I enjoyed these funky beats.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

What a second act! I mean really. Haven’t listened to all the way thru for years. ❤️

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

It’s a’right

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Such a good album

Rapture

Anita Baker

3/5

Anita is a true artist food sure. This just isn’t my jam in this particular album.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

This is one of my favorite albums. Every song is a classic

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

2/5

This is a tough one for me. I can appreciate the artist but it is so difficult to get passed the man.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

4/5

Angry, funky, classic, crucial and a poet.

Fragile

Yes

5/5

This album was so good. Their use of piano and keyboards hits all the right marks. The ethereal voices. Loved giving it a new listen.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Raw. Unfiltered. Great.

Franz Ferdinand

2/5

This was just ok for me. I remembered not liking them very much but I gave it another listen since I had not heard it in years. I can appreciate the musicians but the songs themselves are not for me really. Michael, please dance with him so he will quit singing.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

2/5

Meh

1999

Prince

4/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

I always liked this album I just never loved it.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Iron Maiden

5/5

Have always liked this album but once I saw them live, I loved this album. One of the best live shows you will ever see. Great lyrics, such good drumming, all around entertaining
