Document

R.E.M.

5/5

I see why this is on the list. There is a lot more depth than I realized and this album is damn near prophetic.

Debut

Björk

3/5

"I changed my mind. I like her voice... it's just sort of annoying to me." -Six year old

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

After immigrant song, it's just acoustic blues! I wasn't expecting that!

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

This whole album is very staccato and it makes me anxious.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

I love big band swing and old school crooners!

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

2/5

I don't care for live albums, but I do like jazz.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

1/5

The power went out halfway through this album and it was a blessing. This is not for me.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I liked this album better than the first Rolling Stones album. I'm curious how much of my music enjoyment is circumstantial!

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

I am not going to listen to 4.75 hours of electronica. I had high hopes that this would turn me into an electronica fan. That did not happen. This was fine to have in the background while driving. My six year old said it sounded like a guy running and every time there was a cymbal, the guy jumped. I felt like I was playing a video game. Which isn't bad. But I'm not signing up for 4.75 hours. No.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

There were like two songs here that I was able to listen to with my kids in the car. I really enjoy Eminem and I think he is an amazing rapper and truly one of the greats. I thought I would just power through and not censor anything, but the kids started asking questions indicating that they were clearly listening. Whoops.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

5/5

This is very easy and pleasant to listen to. I could take a nap to it or I could use it to get pumped up for something. Very versatile.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Man, I know I'm conditioned due to what was popular when I was growing up, but boy do I love this sound.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

I don't listen to live albums.

Caetano Veloso

5/5

I learned a new genre today!

Eagles

4/5

I think all the reviews saying this is boring country rock are like the people who watch Star Wars for the first time in 2007 and think it's a tired, worn-out story. It's not derivative, it's where country rock was derived from. The Eagles lay down a kicked-back comfy groove, and I'm here for it. Slap me in some cargo shorts and call me Dad if you must, but I'm digging the bluesy solos, the liberal use of banjos, and the vocal harmonies.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Stranger things introduced me (and many others) to Kate Bush, but the whole album was so good! Nothing else really sounds like this! It's so otherworldly!

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

3/5

Reggae

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

2/5

I don't think I like Joni Mitchell, but I guess I won't know what I've got till it's gone.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

1/5

Smack that bitch up. Huh.

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

I need to give deeper on the white stripes. I judged them too quickly the last time.

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

4/5

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

5/5

I want this album to follow me around and be my soundtrack for life.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

This doesn't sound like anything I've heard before!

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers
