Groovin'

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Oooooooo....immediately funky! I can vibe to this. Feels like a great driving album.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Peak Stevie! Beautiful album, even if cheesy at points. “Maybe Your Baby” was a surprise favorite on this album.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I don’t think I’ve ever given enough credit to the Stones for the level of soul in some of their music. Good album, but I can’t say that any one track got stuck in my head.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

I don’t think I realized how piano-forward a lot Bruce’s music is. This album didn’t really resonate with me with the exception of Adam Raised a Cain, which got stuck in my head all day.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Some of the songs are standouts, but the garage rock thing never seems to carry for a whole album for me.

Blur

3/5

Low

David Bowie

4/5

Really interesting album. Liked the orchestrations, but only a few tracks grabbed me.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Can’t believe how many great songs are on this album!

Os Mutantes

4/5

Super psychedelic vibe from the jump. Actually, really enjoyed the album

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

Meh. Not so much my speed but liked a couple of the mid-album tracks.

Guero

Beck

4/5

Not my favorite Beck album, but Beck is always good.

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

5/5

Super vibey! Really solid album from front to back.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Dusty got soul!

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Had this album in high school. Take Me Out is head and shoulders above the rest of the album

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Metallica purists will not agree, but I prefer some of the more melodic entries in their discography. This is a face melter, but feels more “one note” than other albums. The title track is still incredible though!

Sister

Sonic Youth

2/5

Strong start but lost me pretty quickly. The album feels like it kept a lot of noise on the later tracks that just got in the way for me.

Iron Maiden

3/5

Some really theatrical musical moments in this album. Definitely impressive. I’m just too vocal-focused to really enjoy Iron Maiden.

Moby Grape

2/5

Meh

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

I loved it musically, but the droning vocals began to wear on me a bit by the end. Enjoyed it enough to go back to a couple of tracks in the future.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

4/5

Admittedly, Morrissey’s reputation had probably kept me from listening to more of his music, but I really enjoyed this album. Straddles the line of melancholy and poppy.

Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

An absolute classic. Not much more to say on this album.

Third

Portishead

3/5

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

Some fun stuff on here. I like when the band plays into the punk rock elements of the group but overall the album didn’t grab me

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

How can you be sad when you listen to this album? Delightfully funky!

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

3/5

One quarter English audiobook, three quarters eclectic 60s rock album

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

I love some Bob Dylan, but this is not peak Dylan. I know this album is highly regarded but I could not get past the deterioration of his voice. Clearly, some incredible songs came out of this but I don’t think I’ll be listening to it on repeat.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

This album is not afraid. Musically or in taking a Stand. (Yes, pun intended)

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

4/5

Surprised how much I liked this one. Maybe it hit me in the right mood, but I love the almost-frantic energy in a lot of tracks and the warble in the voices.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

4/5

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

5/5

Vibed out the whole morning!

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

At points, this album sounds like somebody asked ChatGPT to put out a rap album with an English accent. Not sure — with all of the hip hop out there — why this album would rise above

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

5/5

Loved this album! A real showcase of what the trombone can do. Colón’s tone is aggressive, yet refined.
