Not my favorite, but I respect it

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets

The Healer by John Lee Hooker

This might seem a bit harsh... but while this didn't necessarily sound _bad_, it felt pretty unremarkable. I almost forgot I was listening to music at one point.

Timeless by Goldie

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd

Arguably my favorite album of all time. How appropriate as well, considering we'll be experiencing a total solar eclipse today.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

Vivid by Living Colour

Not bad in general... but that cover of Comfortably Numb definitely wasn't for me.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen

Guitar Town by Steve Earle

Movies by Holger Czukay

This felt like the incoherent (yet ambitious) stream of consciousness ramblings of a musician coming down from a long acid trip. It has all the ingredients of something I should like, but the execution is a huge miss for me. Not a fan.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

4.5

London Calling by The Clash

4.5

Suede by Suede

The Who Sell Out by The Who

Slayed? by Slade

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

1999 by Prince

Not for me.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

Phrenology by The Roots

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop

3.5

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash

1989 by Taylor Swift

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

Tidal by Fiona Apple

Electric by The Cult

Generally okay, although that Born To Be Wild cover was... something. Maybe that shouldn't have been included.

Bad by Michael Jackson

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley

Palo Congo by Sabu

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers

I really enjoyed this musically. It had some rough moments in terms of sounding a bit shouty at times. This was on one of my smoothest setups too (ZMF Atrium, R2R DAC, tube amp).

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Live At The Regal by B.B. King

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens

A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay

If I Should Fall From Grace With God by The Pogues

Pyromania by Def Leppard

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock

Rating low because the lyrics are stupid, the music is meh, and Kid Rock is not a great human being. That said, I can't give this a 1 because I've definitely heard worse.

Second Toughest In The Infants by Underworld

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina

2.5

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

Joan Baez by Joan Baez

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields

I didn't dislike this enough to skip any tracks, but I also didn't like it enough to particularly enjoy it. I got through the entire album though, so there's that I guess.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector by Various Artists

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room by Dwight Yoakam

3.5

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs by Marty Robbins

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder

Ambient 1/Music For Airports by Brian Eno

The United States Of America by The United States Of America

2.5. When it's good, it's good. The problem is when it's not, it's the kind of music that makes me feel like I need to take breaks in between songs.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana

I love this album. It's better than any/all of their studio albums, IMHO.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

Tommy by The Who

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile

This was a solid album. What really surprised me was just how good the recordings sounded on my really nice headphone setup. I wasn't expecting that, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans

3.5

Grace by Jeff Buckley

This one is an easy 5 for me. I loved this album since the first time I heard it and already own it in FLAC and vinyl form.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

Bone Machine by Tom Waits

It took me a few listening sessions to get through this. Some of the instrumentation is solid, but his voice is grating enough to make it difficult for me to listen to this. 1.5

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert) by Bob Dylan

I am admittedly not a Bob Dylan fan, but this album was better than most of his other albums I've heard. 3.5

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
