Motherfucking Michael Jackson.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Quintessential reggae.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Listened to this one a LOT when growing up. It was influential. Even covered Chameleon in a ska band I was in. Revolutionary in the use of synth.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

Not an album I have heard before. Interesting start with the video game sounds. Think it's great that it is a full album, not just singles. And there are some "filler" tracks.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Iconic. I enjoyed the album more after watching the documentary about her as well as the biopic.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

You can hear the panning. The strings are pretty hard panned to the left and hi hat is hard right. The organ is also on the left side. Horns are left center.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Iconic. Unique style.

White Light

Gene Clark

4/5

I haven't heard of this one before. Interested to listen to it. Sounds like a bit of a cross of country with some island sound in the first song. I like the albums where you can hear slight imperfections. Hear some Bob Dylan in there.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

A few of the songs I've heard a lot. The whole album is kind of in the same tone. It is "Coldplay". If you like their stuff then you like their stuff. I think it is OK.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

Pretty extreme use of panning. A lot of room sound or reverb.

The xx

3/5

Never heard of this band before to my recollection. It will be interesting to see if I actually recognize any of these songs. Nothing really grabbed me as my favorite style of music.

Timeless

Goldie

4/5

Lots of iconic drum loops. Seems to be the forefront of sampling. Not necessarily my style. Gets tiring after a while of the same repetitiveness. But I hear a lot of the electronic iconic stuff within this album. Makes me think of the Freestylers. This makes me want to be in my car with the sub.

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

I still like Nevermind better than In Utero.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

5/5

Motherfucking Michael Jackson.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

I'd never really heard Leonard Cohen before. I'd heard his name, but not his music or his style. It is unique for sure. A deep dark smoky voice. Makes me think about Tom Waits. Interesting atonal singing at times. Gravely is the word that comes to mind, but smooth gravel. Pea gravel. A dark bar. You Want It Darker is a very fitting name for this album.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

3/5

Not really my style.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Feels very southern. In both tone and lazy laid back feel. Chill and groove.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

Folktechno is kind of correct. Interesting band. This album didn't completely resonate with me, but it was enjoyable. I'm not blown away by it and would like recommend that people absolutely need to listen to it necessarily, but it was enjoyable.

Great example of sampling. So many samples from iconic songs.

4/5

Chill.

The Infotainment Scan

3/5

I don't really like his vocal style. It's too out of tune for my taste. And lacks energy. I don't like a lot of atonal singing.

Unknown Pleasures

3/5

Get a bit of that atonal singing that I don't love. Sounds like the first step towards the British punk a bit. Cleaned up brit punk.
