Blue Lines by Massive Attack

Madman Across The Water by Elton John

Sheet Music by 10cc

Imagine by John Lennon

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

A mixed bag - some I liked, some too much noise, and often I didn't like the lyrical content at all

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan

3.5

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles

Gold by Ryan Adams

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes

I liked a lot of the instrumental parts, but the vocals were hit-or-miss at best, and I really disliked the lyrics

Pelican West by Haircut 100

3.5. Grew on me as it went. Overly repetitive in its textures, and I especially didn't care for the sax. But the ones that were less repetitive were really pretty good.

21 by Adele

Stardust by Willie Nelson

Second Toughest In The Infants by Underworld

Vulnicura by Björk

Fragile by Yes

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Welcome to the Afterfuture by Mike Ladd

Low by David Bowie

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Headquarters by The Monkees

We Are Family by Sister Sledge

All Directions by The Temptations

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

The White Album by Beatles

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro

I really wish the lyrics were better.

Truth by Jeff Beck

Well, I at least liked Greensleeves

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters

Any individual track I enjoyed a fair amount, but by the end they mostly just sounded the same. Which I suppose is more an issue with the genre than anything else, but all the same it limited my enjoyment.

The World is a Ghetto by War

Disraeli Gears by Cream

Kid A by Radiohead

I really enjoyed the first half, but the end was weaker for me.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

Viva Hate by Morrissey

Teen Dream by Beach House

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim

Surprisingly enjoyable for basically easy listening jazz

Revolver by Beatles

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega

This almost seems like something I should like, but it just never got there - too polished, I guess?

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

A reminder that I just am not a jazz person

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

A few good tracks, and a lot that's just fine to listen to.

Skylarking by XTC

This feels like it should have been something I liked, but somehow it was just... meh

Night Life by Ray Price

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's

3.5 - Generally a fun sound, fairly consistent quality, but no real stand-out tracks to me (except Got the Beat which is easily my least favorite - and the only one I'd heard before) and occasionally the lyrics detract.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon

Oracular Spectacular by MGMT

Rocks by Aerosmith

Pink Flag by Wire

Protection by Massive Attack

2.5 - only really liked the singing

Heroes by David Bowie

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

Untitled (Black Is) by SAULT

Ramones by Ramones

3.5

A Grand Don't Come For Free by The Streets

I can't say that this was good, but surprisingly pleasant as background noise, which is more than I like most rap music.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

3.5 - enjoyable, but a bit too easy listening

In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson

I recognize why this is significant, but there's just so much that it becomes a blur without any real landmarks

Here Come The Warm Jets by Brian Eno

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

Live At The Witch Trials by The Fall

Survivor by Destiny's Child

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees

I enjoyed this for a while, but by the end of a full album of it it just kind of sounded like I was underwater. 3.5, probably 4 if only listening to a few at a time.
