Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

An ambitious, tangled conglomeration of songs, many of which defined their catalog and era

ZZ Top

3/5

Meh. Interesting to hear a different side of the trio as someone who knew them better in the 80’s-90’s but not radically different from other white blues artists to my ears

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Lifted up by standout tracks

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

The entire album felt like an extension of the holdovers soundtrack.

Ramones

4/5

Front door seat to the birth of punk

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

3/5

First listen. Good vibes.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

So, so good. The songs, orchestration, and production all frame the vocals perfectly.

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

4/5

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

1/5

No thank you

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Phenomenal

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

2/5

At its best, on par with other grungy fare from this time. But overall less polished than many of their contemporaries. Feels like music folks cling to because it makes them different...

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

5/5

Beautiful work

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Great for what it is

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

3/5

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

4/5

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

2/5

Seems like something that would make me smile to hear again if I’d been into it in the 80’s…but not keep on for long

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Fascinating to hear them at this stage of their career. You can almost feel the band pushing against the constraints of the packaged sound they were being asked/told to create as a foreshadowing of the instrument destruction that was to come...

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

3/5

Electric

The Cult

4/5

Blast from the past. Crunching hook-laden riffs. Inane lyrics. Fun ride!

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

A&R folks were way more adventurous in the late 70's. Very cool to hear this band on the front end of their development...

The World is a Ghetto
