Rage Against The Machine

3/5

Iconic!

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

I didnt think I'd like this when I got it, but Midnight in a perfect world specifically is hauntingly beautiful. That hooked me and I ended up delightfully surprised by the entire album. A surprise to be certain!

Station To Station

David Bowie

2/5

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Surprisingly good, with songs I remember my mother playing when I was a child. A happy find for sure.

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

My wife adores the Cure, we had a blast singing along with our daughter today. Fantastic suggestion.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

1/5

Why is this even on here?

Third

Soft Machine

1/5

Random noise, with bits of jazz hidden in it. And now I feel harsh for rating Willie Nelson so low.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Finally another good album, Elton John is a favorite of mine. Easy to rate because it's just damn good music.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

5/5

Utter genius, Zappa knows how to bring life to music.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

4/5

Super chill electronica, easy to listen to and enjoy.

The Man Who

Travis

3/5

Run of mill mopey guitar. It was just okay.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Groovy 90's electronica! This was a fun listen for me, a lot of these sounds are interesting when you consider where electronica is today, and the kind of tech that was being used back in the 90's to produce these.

The Next Day

David Bowie

2/5

More David Bowie.. It's music. But it isn't good, and I didn't like it. Hopefully this is the last of this..

Cross

Justice

5/5

Super surprised by this one, really excellent electronic music. Waters of Nazareth is excellent!

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

4/5

I didn't want to like this, I really didn't at the beginning. But the lyrics are actually quite good, and the music has this nice grunge-like sound that is really indicative of 90s indie. A happy surprise.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

Really taken aback by this one, the music is melancholy and filled with emotion, and just sounds so beautiful

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

1/5

Absolutely terrible. Shouldn't be anywhere close to a top anything list.

The Yes Album

Yes

2/5

Sorry Yes! Is a No! for me. This just sounds like generic background music you'd hesr in that 70's show. That that's where I want this to stay.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

Weird acoustics with bizarrer lyrics that feel like they would only make sense when incredibly high.

The Doors

2/5

Just ok

Okay acoustic, pretty much background music.

White Denim

The music is something else, it's all over the place, but in a really good way.

Californication

3/5

Interesting early rock, not amazing, but not bad.

3/5

Solid old school rap

Sonic Youth

2/5

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

5/5

Delightful surprise, great lyrics and music. Definitely adding this to my rotation

The Rise & Fall

Madness

4/5

This was surprisingly good. Great use of brass, wood winds, and especially saxophones! The vocals are interesting, doleful in places, chipper and bright in others. Unique.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

Green

R.E.M.

AC/DC

5/5

It's AC/DC, how couldn't you love it?
