At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

Muddy waters is obviously an icon. That album was not my cup of tea though.

1/5

Why is this album so long? I didn’t even make it halfway through and thought it was over…. but no it kept going. And for what? This is music that’s played in public spaces to get people to LEAVE. I hope to erase this from my memory immediately.

Big Muff and Certain Surprise gave me the ick. Bad vibes from this album in general.

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Would not revisit this album. it’s giving beatles too much for my personal taste. i can see how other people could enjoy it. a few of the songs sound pretty.

The xx

3/5

it was a good album, not really my thing.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

This is the first time I have listened to an Alanis album front to back and boy have I been missing out. The first song was a chaotic way to start a debut album, but it worked somehow. Her vocals are *chef’s kiss*. The album made me feel like I lived through the grunge of the 90’s (as not an infant). Will be listening to her discography now.

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

4/5

Easy listening album that made me feel good.

Third

Portishead

4/5

I had never even heard of this band until now. This album was terrifying and beautiful. I both loved and hated it for ultimately the same reason: it was fucking weird. Nylon Smile was my favorite song and it will be added to my every day listening.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

1/5

fuck kanye

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

5/5

First time listening front to back - it was banger after banger. This album made me want to listen to nothing but rap all day.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

2/5

Muddy waters is obviously an icon. That album was not my cup of tea though.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

4/5

I really enjoyed this album, but I don’t have the words to write a proper review on it right now lol

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

I’m mad this album forced me to listen to Drake. That’s my biggest criticism. I guess the last couple songs also kinda fell off, but if you could’ve seen me dancing and singing in my office to this.. sheesh.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

This was one of the most mediocre dude rock albums I’ve heard. There is nothing special about this album and one listen was enough for a lifetime.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

We Are Family is probably the worst song on this album. Solid album otherwise.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

Calenture

The Triffids

1/5

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

This is going to be controversial…. I’m not a fan of music for guitar enthusiasts. I do not want to listen to your 3 minute long guitar solo. Even if you are an icon…

Garbage

5/5

You know how people feel about Brie Larson singing that tiny bit of Black Sheep in Scott Pilgrim? That’s how I feel about this entire album. I immediately became obsessed after the first song and it only got better from there. This album is my personality now and I’m not sorry about it.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

I love the Beach Boys… but they are a band for a specific mood. Or for summertime. The album is good, not great and not in season right now.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

3/5

only note was joy was not listenable lol otherwise i enjoyed it!

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

4/5

I don’t typically listen to Slipknot for fun, but honestly will more often after this. Psychosocial was a pivotal song of my youth and it fucking goes.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Nothing hits the same as twangy guitar storytelling tunes. Like listen to Johnny Cash and still tell me you hate country music, I dare you. Similar to many other iconic musicians, I have not listened to a full Johnny album until now. There is a reason this man was an icon and I will dive deeper into his discography because of this.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

This was not Monday morning jam music, but it was still alright. Didn’t think it was anything special though.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

3/5

Music wise, this album was nothing special to me. If it held some sort of sentimental meaning to me it would have been more enjoyable, but it was really just another album. It was nice to listen to while working, but I am not going to seek this out to listen to for fun. It also didn’t make me want to listen to any additional Pink Floyd albums, even though I have heard some of the others are better. Maybe I will try listening to when h*gh and see if I enjoy it more?

En-Tact

The Shamen

1/5

Halfway through song three and I feel like I’m having a bad shrooms trip that won’t end. Why is this on this list??!!

The World is a Ghetto

War

2/5

Too much going on for my liking. Title track was alright.

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

Omg imagine opening your debut album with Mysterons? God tier move honestly. This was a remarkable debut album. Everything about this album gave me the shivers. Halfway through I knew I wanted to listen to it again. Highlights for me were Mysterons, Wandering Stars, Numb, and Glory Box. I am officially a Portishead stan even though they have a bad band name.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

2/5

Meh, the Cure …..

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

Didn’t hate it, but didn’t really like it either.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

First time I listened, I hated this. Tried again and it was less bad (not good tho). It’s just really long - after 10 songs I was over it. I wouldn’t seek this out but if someone put it on as background noise I wouldn’t be mad.

One World

John Martyn

2/5

Big Muff and Certain Surprise gave me the ick. Bad vibes from this album in general.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

2/5

I genuinely tried to be objective when listening to this. The first two songs were alright! A strong start in my opinion. Then Bluebird came on… I couldn’t do it. Had to skip halfway through. Same with the rest of the album. The songs were not hitting and I was over Paul’s voice.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

2/5

Make Yourself

Incubus

5/5

Never guessed that I would be an Incubus fan. I knew they had some bangers but this album was great start to finish. No notes.

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

1/5

I’ve never liked Bob Dylan, purely because of his voice - WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKE THAT??? I tried to listen to this album.. at least the songs Emily rated that she likes, but oh my god. I don’t think anything can change my hatred for this man literally because he sounds like THAT. *puking emoji*

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

First front to back Elton John album listen. My god, this man is incredible. Will be consuming him more frequently now.

Scissor Sisters

4/5

this was fucking weird and i was here for it

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

2/5

Whiny and annoying. Mass Production forced me to give this 2 stars.

Purple Rain

Prince

3/5

Just like many other albums on this list, this is my first listen through of a Prince album. I now understand why so many people love Prince and his music. It wasn’t life changing to me and I don’t know that I would seek it out, but I would listen again.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Genuinely enjoyed some of the songs and added them to my rotation. Other than that it wasn’t special.
