2/5

I tried really hard to like this. But almost every song sounded the same.

Public Enemy

5/5

Chuck D is an amazing lyricist. Flava Flav sometimes distracts from his brilliance, but this album is as good as it gets.

Suzanne Vega

4/5

If released in 1995 I would have given just 3 stars. But knowing what mainstream music was like in ‘85 it’s easy to see how trailblazing this was and how incredible for Vega to have earned the following she did. Extra credit for context points!

Dire Straits

5/5

I Against I

Bad Brains

3/5

You can definitely hear their influence in lots of the bands that followed.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

Doing it first doesn’t mean you did it best, but these guys did it pretty well.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

A joy to listen to.

Tago Mago

Can

3/5

This sounds like what would have happened if the Doors spent too much time with Yoko Ono. There were moments that were enjoyable to listen to, but not really a fan of the rest.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Beautiful. I’m happy I got to listen to this today.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Entertaining. Mostly a country/blues album with a couple radio singles thrown in to satisfy the masses. More “inspired” than “inspiring,” but enjoyable to listen to.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

There’s no questioning the social and cultural impact Marley made on the world. His lyrics are powerful and beautiful. Reggae as a music style, though, is something I struggle to listen to an entire album’s worth at once.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

Sounds like what would happen if Oasiis or Coldplay decided to be indie bands. Slightly more likeable, but still kinda “meh.”

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Meh.

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

I tried really hard to like this. But almost every song sounded the same.

Signing Off

UB40

3/5

I like reggae songs, but a full album is a little hard to take sometimes. Still, pretty good!
