Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Beautiful showcase of what Nick Drake is all about. Nature and time and whimsical guitar plucking with often playful orchestra passages.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Great samples, real drums, sounds perfect. Honestly hasn’t even aged.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

Bangers all the way through

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

3/5

The best type of country there is. JC is a boss. Love the live aspect. A little swoony for repeat listens, or maybe I’ve already listened a lot, hence the 3 stars.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Really nice. Time of the season is one of the GOATs.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Classic. The best.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

3/5

Really cool take on folk/paychedelic. Love his voice.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5

Perfect. Beautiful. Important.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Solid rock album, wonderful harmonies, nice hearing a little more of the eagles deep cuts as I’ve never listened to the full album.

Peter Gabriel

2/5

Salsbury Hill sick. The rest I wasn’t crazy about. A little all over the place.

The Coral

3/5

Not my cup of tea but I can tell it's well made and could see it being influential in this space.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Rips.

Cool, not entirely my thing, but can tell how highly influential this band was.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Beautiful album. Loved it a lot.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

Beautiful, fun, catchy, memorable, truly a classic.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

2/5

Foo Fighters

3/5

Classic Foo, and still some of the best rock of the last 30 years, not a mainstay for me however.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Decent Stones, like other stuff from them better but nice to hear some classics.

Woodface

Crowded House

3/5

So 90's. Some catchy beach jams here. Solid album. Would give it a 3.5 if I could.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

3/5

Kinda sounds like what might have influenced a band like Idles

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

2/5

I dunno. Never heard a single song by these guys.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

Beautiful perfect album.

C'est Chic

CHIC

2/5

Ok. Good music. Not for me.

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

Nice, cathy, cohesive album. Good to hear some of the non-radio hits from REM. Really holds up.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

5/5

Best ambient. Listen to it all the time.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

2/5

Alright if I was in the mood.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

I mean, it's ABBA

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Pretty fucking flawless album. A little simplistic and corny, at its worst, but at it's best, there's nothing better.

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

3/5

Groovy instrumental stuff, a few familiar tracks surprisingly. I'd give this a 3.5 if I could.

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

Cool album

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Good stuff.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Tons of great songs, love hearing it

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Great stones album, twangy and paired back to focus on them great lyrics and vocals and guitar

Pornography

The Cure

2/5

A more rough and tumble kind of Cure, not entirely for me, though nice to hear some early influence for this kind of stuff. 2.5 is more accurate for this.

Fever Ray

2/5

It's alright.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

2/5

Performed wonderfully but I probably won't go back, too big band for me, and too many introductions. Really rips sometimes though.

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

Fav T Swift album hands down.

Seventeen Seconds
