5/5

If you haven't already listened to this, I am so jealous that you get to listen to it for the first time. Put it on the best speakers or headphones you have access to, turn it up as loud as you can tolerate, and enjoy.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré · 1 likes

5/5

This is the stuff that's so far outside what I normally listen to that I'd never find it and ... if I never had, I'd be sad.

The Beatles suck.

Ill Communication

Pelican West

Haircut 100

2/5

80s epitomized. I think I'd heard some of these songs before but I had never actually heard the name of the group.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

2/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Definitely a different style than I normally listen to, but the talent and the musicality is undeniable.

Ananda Shankar

1/5

Uh ... nah, dawg.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

5/5

Effing classic. This is classic rock, amazing.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

2/5

Pretty good ... he's got a very definite sound which isn't my favorite, but is definitely talent, and this earlier incarnation I like better than the later stuff.

The Slider

T. Rex

4/5

Definitely good! T. rex has a pretty unique sound and I like it.

All Directions

The Temptations

5/5

Very good, very different from what I thought of in my head when I think of the Temptations. Love it!

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Very good, and Dusty is classic!

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

5/5

Ray Charles.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

5/5

This is the stuff that's so far outside what I normally listen to that I'd never find it and ... if I never had, I'd be sad.

Imagine

John Lennon

1/5

I cannot describe how much I loathe the Beatles and John Lennon.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

Really good ... There are some very good, deep songs on here, tons of great beats, and a couple that were a little too pop for me.

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

Definitely a sound I like. I did note that the whole album has a pretty consistent sound, so listening to it back to back feels a bit repetitive.

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

3/5

Really good, but not my style. I'd definitely listen to it in a playlist, but I don't see myself listening to the album on it's own.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Bloody amazing, as all Neil Young & Crazy Horse is.

Smash

The Offspring

5/5

Best album ever

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

Very 80s, good, not entirely my vibe. Reminds me of a John Hughes movie.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

Honestly ... eh. It's weird, because I know that a huge number of musicians - including musicians I like - cite SATB as an inspiration, but this was a very meh album to me.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

5/5

Great live album from a great band

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

1/5

This album sucks. Like, suuuuuuuucks.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

Really good album.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

4/5

Really good, really weird!

Low

David Bowie

1/5

I still can't find the appeal of David Bowie.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

2/5

It's Soft Cell. It's aight.

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

2/5

This is a weird one for me. There's definitely some commonalities in sound with things I like (My Morning Jacket, specifically), but I just don't love it.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

1/5

The Beatles are the Backstreet Boys of the 60s.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

Really good! It's a sad story, too.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

3/5

Better than I thought! I knew that one song, but the rest were all pretty good too.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Very, very good.

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

1/5

Really not my jam. Weird era in music.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

a m a z i n g If you're not into jazz, this is a phenomenal start. If you are into jazz, you should only be reading this review because you already know it's amazing and you're just making sure I didn't say something stupid.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

Very good! One song was definitely already familiar to me, probably from a movie?

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

It's Elton John. You don't need me to tell you that it's a banger.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

F***ing banger

Risque

CHIC

2/5

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

4/5

Very good, definitely reminds me of the era!

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

It took a while (lol, because it's a long album) to figure out why this didn't lock in for me. It's all very technically competent - no question, these are very proficient musicians - but it's like music for music nerds. Like, yeah, they're doing Good Musical Techniques, but it somehow falls short of Good Music, because it's ... boring. It's showing off.

Abbey Road

Beatles

1/5

The Beatles suck.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

2/5

Weird. Not bad, but weird.

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

3/5

Weird, decent
