Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

First day, first album. Good genre bending album with some great tunes and aggressive vocals. I liked it and I’m glad to finally give more recognition to Beastie boys!

Paul Simon

4/5

Simons voice is so sweet mixed in this sugary sound

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Yep her name sounds exactly like the music, dusty springfield

The Stone Roses

2/5

Knowing only ”I wanna be adored” which is a song that I really adooore, I had my hopes high. Unfortunately the rest of the album was bit of a led down, it did absolutely nothing to me. That said, I can still appreciate it though.

The Yes Album

Yes

2/5

There were no stand out songs nor were there any terrible ones either. Just a OK. 2.5/5

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Refreshing, great stuff

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

4/5

Cure for my hangover

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

Fun, fresh, funky. Definitely has one of the catchiest songs ever, yes you, Ms. Jackson.

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

3/5

Positive thing is that from this project I was really hoping to discover new music and I've never heard of Beth Orton so this was a really nice discovery (especially cause I listen to a lot of female singers of the 90's). I liked a few songs a lot (”sweet decline” and ”couldn't cause me harm”), although some songs were kinda forgettable. But still this was sweet.

Smile

Brian Wilson

5/5

I would recommend everyone to take a deeper look into this project, if you're not already familiar with it. Beautiful piece of art.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

5/5

”To say what you feel is to dig your own grave” Raw, powerful and beautiful. Still, one of my favorites of all time. Rip Sinéad.

Boston

2/5

Meh.. didn’t connect with this

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

I adore this album, absolutely gorgeous

Horses

Patti Smith

4/5

I mean, how can you not think this is what she didn't serve here???

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

I've got into more punk just recently but I feel like this is just one of those punk bands that aren't my cuppa… and some of the lyrics (new york) ugh… not fresh

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

4/5

This goes fucking HARD

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Tiny dancer slaps ofc but the rest I wasn't too familiar to begin with so I think I need to listen to this again. Overall I dig what I was hearing.

Crazysexycool

TLC

4/5

I had a good time

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

5/5

It doesn't get any better than this. This is a fucking banger of an album, a masterpiece.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

It's been a while since I listened to 50's music, so this was a nice little trip down memory lane. Surely has that one of a kind atmosphere in the music at that time.

Ananda Shankar

2/5

Interesting concept, but I was really not feeling it as much as I would have wanted to

Synchronicity

The Police

2/5

Not really my sting but I'm in a good mood today so I'm gonna give it 2.5/5 and round it to 2

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Pretty top-notch Bowie

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

I really know nothing about Iggy Pop nor the Stooges, but I always thought they sounded cool, I'm gonna keep it that way

So Much For The City

The Thrills

2/5

This kind of music I guess isn't just my thing, I did like the first song (\"Santa Cruz\") but then I lost interest. On a positive note, completely new discovery for me

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Cute and jazzy. I liked that it is live, really takes you back to that moment

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

1/5

Just not my thing at all and I don’t think I will never willingly listen to this ever again. 1.5/5

Electric

The Cult

2/5

I know giving this only 2 stars isn't much, but this was surprisingly a little bit more enjoyable that I would have though. I mean the album cover looks terrible and not a big fan of this specific 80's hard rock sound but yeah, not that bad!

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

2/5

Okay okay okay so I'm a bit conflicted. I always told myself that I never really liked coldplay and maybe some of that has to do with the image that has been painted for me: them just being really bland, bland and boring overrated band. And sure, some of their stuff is really just that and even many of their highly appreciated hits have never really resonated with me and some just sound god-awful. So I've just come to the conclusion that yeah don't care for them as much to really never give them a try, but now I can finally say that I've given them a fair try and at least listened to one of their albums. And after listening to this, I'm kinda surprised. It's not that bad! Not really my thing though, but not as terrible as I would have thought. So me rating this album still fairly low is still a positive thing because I really thought I was going to hate the shit ouf ot this. 2.5/5

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

2/5

Not bad, but mediocre 2.5/5

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

Nothing bad to say, liked the atmosphere

New enjoyable discovery!

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Hands down one of the best hip hop albums I’ve ever heard

Vulnicura

Björk

5/5

Björk's my favorite artist, so I was obviously very excited to get this album today. Her music touches me like no other and this especially has got me through some shit. One of my all time favorites.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

This is one of those folky albums which my mom used to play all the time when I was a kid. It brings me so many memories and holds a very sweet sweet spot in my life.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

1/5

Omg what an awful shit am I forced to listen to, this is torture

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Obviously 5 stars

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Very nice, very very nice

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Feels like a soft blanket

Faith

4/5

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

3/5

I like his voice particularly. The album over all wasn't matching my mood today, maybe some other day it would have been higher, because I understand the appeal

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

Just not my thing

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

Lot of the music that I listen to is around this time period but why oh why haven't I given enough recognition to Lou. Well it was about time

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

3/5

I got high and now I can’t remember anything about this so I guess it was mid

Murmur

R.E.M.

2/5

Another R.E.M. album within a week. I do prefer this more than Document, although I find this pretty boring 2.5/5

Repeater

Fugazi

4/5

Funny coincidence, I just started looking deeper into Fugazis discography and started with this one, really good stuff

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

1/5

Never again

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

3/5

Surely bit of a mixed bag, some songs were pretty good and some pretty bad, maybe it will grow on me

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

What can I say, it’s a masterpiece

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

3/5

Perfect for this spring sunday morning

Peter Gabriel

3/5

One of those albums I've meant to listen to for so long. So now after listening, I thought I would have like it more to be honest, but it's pretty solid

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

5/5

Ah well wasn’t this breeze of fresh air after having a bit of a tough time going trough this challenge. By far the most positively surprising discovery. Ofc I've known about George Michael before and listened to a lot of Wham back in the days. I don't know why but I just never was invested to look what else was there on his solo discography. I got ”Faith” a couple weeks back and was then pleasantly surprised by it. I really liked it and now this album just blew me away. George has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard, I never made the comparison but his voice reminds me a lot of Freddies. Beautiful piece of work and the album cover is brilliant. I’m happy to discover this.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

4/5

Arise

Sepultura

2/5

Metal music is the genre I feel like most unfamiliar with, I know really nothing about it, but trought this challenge I'm really trying to give it a fair try, at least I'm hoping that I'm finding the the cream of the crop. I'm still not sure what I think about this though… but sure there’s more to metal than just this, I guess this one just isn't my thing. Oh but the fact that this one’s from Brazil is pretty cool

Van Halen

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

3/5

I know Prefab Sprout from their 2003 album "I trawl the megahertz" which is one of my favorite albums of all time. I just didn't look into more of their discography because I wasn't expecting anything similar. So now finally got a chance to listen to this, I do think they have unique sound, eventhough this wasn't my favorite, still quite enjoyable
