Red Hot Chili Peppers

2/5

I think I had to be there at the right time and place for this album. Of course “Under the Bridge” is a bit, but listening to the full album confirmed what I already knew: I’m not a fan of the Chili Peppers

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

A bop through and through

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Earthy, smooth funk with real lyrics. Truly enjoyed every second and wanted more when the album ended.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

I’ve never really listened to the Stones before. While not exactly my cup of tea, it was a fun experience.

Solid Air

John Martyn

1/5

I can appreciate the fusion of folk, jazz, and funk and the clear impact he had on many musicians. However I can’t help but think maybe someone did it better? Or before him?

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Station To Station

David Bowie

2/5

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

4/5

Whatever

Aimee Mann

3/5

I wanted to love it but the majority of the album blended into the background. Love the messaging and production.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

4/5

I kept feeling like I have heard these songs before. Which makes Hanoi Rocks derivative (in some cases) or trendsetting (in others). I heard a lot of my alt rock favs in their production and arrangements.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

Phenomenal storytelling. I would listen to this endlessly.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

I’ve listened to this before and typically hate live albums. Not this one. The sound mixing was good except during the exposition and it was easy to be transported into another space.

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

I’ve never sat down and listened to a full album of Aretha’s before and I am so so sad I haven’t before now.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

2/5

Loved the beats and his cadence. Could not get over the misogyny and cringy lyrics.
