In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

5/5

Everyone needs some stoner rock sometimes. A 17 minute title track on a 36 minute album? [chef's kiss] Perfection.

1/5

Fuck the Beatles.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

1/5

Whatever.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

IIRC Red Book audio spec is 72 minutes for a Compact Disc. They nearly filled a compact disc with 70 minutes of mediocre music. That's the best thing I can say.

Aja

Steely Dan

1/5

I'm not even going to dignify this with listening to it.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Better than I expected from a screeching hippy addict.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

Over 30 minutes in the first two tracks makes me think maybe we don't need any more tracks. But then I remember this is just ambience for 90s Vampire Sex Raves™, which is totally my jam.

With The Beatles

Beatles

1/5

Fuck the Beatles.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

Morrissey has like, two notes. Is that even singing? At least it's a relatively short album at just under 40 minutes.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

3/5

I think I found the angry hippies.

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

3/5

Not bad to have on in the background, but the best part was the random songs Spotify played after this album in the same genre.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

2/5

If you think ketchup is "a little spicy" and enjoy contributing to public radio, I've got an album for you.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

3/5

Brutal.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

4/5

Tasty.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Bang the gong. Get it on.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

There are only a few bands I can listen to an entire album and not get bored with it. Thin Lizzy is not one of those bands.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

A cultural touchstone. You don't have to like it, but you do have to know what it is.

Basket of Light

Pentangle

1/5

It's like the worst parts of the Renaissance Festival in audio form.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

I liked "Second Hand News" better when I thought he was singing, "I'm just sittin' here nude." Another cultural touchstone. You don't have to like it, but you have to be aware of it.

Roxy Music

4/5

The vibrato was a bit over the top, but I heard bits and pieces that reminded me of a bunch of bands and songs years (sometimes decades) before they were created. I had to remind myself several times that this album was from 1972! I'm they had a pretty big influence on other artists.

Graceland

Paul Simon

1/5

Not for me.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

2/5
