Dookie by Green Day
Feb 19 2024
All Directions by The Temptations
Feb 20 2024

Can appreciate the soulfulness of this album and the amazing vocals, but it may just be a bit too deep for my tastes, especially during the 13 minute version of Papa was a Rolling Stone, which tends to drag on. Great album, just not one I think I would go back to.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Feb 21 2024

Perfect debut album from start to finish. A timeless classic!

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 23 2024

While not really my type of music, I can see the talent. I could listen to 90's hip-hop and rap over today's auto-tuned garbage any day!

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Feb 28 2024

I love the two songs on this album that were decent singles (Movin on Up and Loaded), so I was interested to hear the full album. The rest of the album is a nice collection of musical experimentation and I enjoyed it, but most of it is easily forgettable ambient background music. Some of the repetitive 6 - 8 minutes songs could have been pared down to 4 minutes at the most as they went on a bit too long.

As an avid Ramones fan, I'm sorry I never properly listened to Brit punk bands like the Buzzcocks. This is a simple, powerful punk album and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Mar 01 2024

An absolute classic!

Live! by Fela Kuti

Savane by Ali Farka Touré

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Mar 06 2024

Fast and frenetic. While I do enjoy punk music, I just don't get this... I listened to 16 songs in 15 minutes. Now what do I do?

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Mar 08 2024

Most of this album sounded like a mix of Stone Temple Pilots and the many post grunge alternative bands with "The" in their name (The Strokes, The Hives, The Killers, etc.) Only those bands did it better. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Unfortunately, this album is not very flattering... Very forgettable.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Mar 09 2024

I am very familiar with the few singles that were released from this album, but NIN was never really a band i connected with. I did enjoy this album more than I expected.

1999 by Prince
Mar 10 2024

Somehow not one of my favorite Prince albums. I think 1999 and Little Red Corvette have been too played out and may have caused me to disconnect with this album.

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 12 2024

Great album from start to finish. The introduction of synthesizers was the perfect bridge from the David Lee Roth era to the heavy synth use of 5150 with Sammy Hagar as frontman.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Mar 17 2024

Solid funk and soul record by a legendary group.

Ctrl by SZA

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp

Relaxing, enjoyable album, but nothing special.

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Not my cup of tea

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 30 2024

Pretty decent album

Moon Safari by Air
Jun 01 2024

Not quite feeling the vibe on this one

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 11 2024
Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jun 12 2025

Great classic album by TFF with some iconic 80's hits. Only topped by their Sowing the Seeds of Love followup, which I thought was a stronger and more enjoyable experimental release.
