CHIC
4/5
I love the different layers to each track, despite relatively straightforward beats and easy lyrics the songs have so many elements to them that build upon each other.
The album is also a real influence on the Persona 5, which has one of the best modern video game scores.
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
I remember being a child listening to the song "Tusk" and having my mind blown by the marching band and how huge the song felt. The song still rocks, but the rest of the album isn't as fun.
Nick Drake
4/5
I like the John Cale influence and the layered acoustic songs.
Radiohead
3/5
Very meh.
Fugees
3/5
I respect how much they love movies, and I love how killing me softly with this song then become a major plot point in About a Boy 5 years later. Some great tracks/covers but a little inconsistent.
2/5
Even less articulate than normal, Dylan is not for me.
Spiritualized
3/5
Unobjectionable but not interesting.
Tom Waits
2/5
More my thing than Dylan, but not my thing.
Parliament
3/5
I was left expecting more to be honest. A single good song doesn't make a great album.
Arctic Monkeys
2/5
Despite British Indie of the 00’s as my preteen/teenage jam, I never really enjoyed the Arctic Monkeys that much compared to their contemporaries.

Not my favourite Bowie album, but still a good album with no bad tracks.
Steve Earle

Nostalgia glasses for middle school and high school party tracks.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet

An album I have listened to probably 50 times. It’s wonderful.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Beck
3/5
I am finding more and more that interesting albums from the 90/00’s feel played out in the 2020s but think it’s because they have been rung out and squeezed of all novelty by the imitators.
Marvin Gaye

A masterpiece that got me more into music as a teen.

I listened to Come on Eileen at least a 100 times as a running playlist song, glad to know I wasn’t missing out on too much by just listening to that track.
Marvin Gaye
3/5
U2
3/5
Can’t take Bono or U2 seriously after 20 years of them being a stand-in punch line for well meaning but naive liberal interventionism.

Rarely have my expectations for an album and the album itself been so out of sync. It feels tame and almost quaint for an album called black sabbath.

50 years later the same issues are largely unaddressed in America, it’s a great album even if I’m not going re listen.

Beatles
5/5
I listened to Beatles 1 probably 100 times as a pre-teen in my dad's car so the early Beatles were imprinted on my brain. Between the nostalgia of childhood summers, the great movie, A Hard Day's Night, and Can't Buy Me Love this is an easy 5.

I always get the opening of 1/1 and Gymnopedie No 1. Mixed up in my head.
