Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

5/5

the first album i have found via this service that i would definitely have not found on my own and its a joyful one

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

The Isley Brothers

4/5

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

featuring none of the songs you associate with the beatles

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Joe and Cameron dancing to “Velouria” by the Pixies in season 3 episode 9 of "Halt & Catch Fire" is all I have to say. The first choice, apparently, was Nirvana's Love Buzz. The replacement with its ethereal quality and a sense of longing expressed in captures the moment way better. I could listen to that song over and over again without getting sick.

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

3/5

me, not understanding any french, listening to this: :) me, looking up what the lyrics mean: :(

Maxinquaye

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

5/5

their first three albums are probably their best and this one is my favorite among the three

The Electric Prunes

3/5

If you told me there was a band called The Electric Prunes I would expect them to play the first track but not the rest of them.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

A perfectly ordinary 3 star album.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

3/5

sometimes it is okay to close your mind to new experiences

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

5/5

“A very famous man in the industry said to me once that rock ’n’ roll is disposable music. I said, ‘Oh, hell no, it's not!’ I don't make songs that are disposable. I'm making songs that are going to last. I hope that when I'm old and gray and all gone, that my music will still give somebody hope, or lift, or help with something, the same way that I get it with other songs that other musicians have recorded that I sang forever.”

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

the birth of trip hop but it is not my favorite massive attack album

Mask

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

the one truly great album on this last so far

Liquid Swords

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

3/5

this is like one of those anecdotes that someone starts relating with great gusto but their energy drops as they realize it sounded funnier, better, in their head and they finally end with "you had to be there to get it"

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

From Wikipedia: According to Tom Vickers, who served as Minister of Information for Parliament-Funkadelic from 1976 to 1980, during an impromptu performance in front of the United Nations, a woman who accompanied George Clinton to the event witnessed a U.N worker hoisting the flags in front of the building. When Clinton asked the woman what she thought, she replied, "One Nation Under a Groove".

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

It is said that upon hearing “Higher Ground” while in a coma, Stevie moved his fingers.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

I just can’t bring myself to care about this

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

i have been listening to these albums while commuting and while working so it makes sense that i like the ones that sound good. i don't really pay much attention to the lyrics which is probably why i didn't care for the dylan album and i loved this one.

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

3/5

i started doing this as a way to discover new music, without leaning on opaque algorithms developed by corporate overlords, and i have been reasonably happy with that outcome. however, i have also come to realize that it is a self-reinforcing bias. even before listening to this album, i know that i will like it. i once made a spotify playlist called 'synthia' which was full of synth-forward music, sorted chronologically. how could i not like gary numan?

Blur

3/5

"The death of the party // Came as no surprise..."

Van Halen

3/5

The definition of “not for me”

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

me before listening to the first song: why do i have to listen to this :( me after listening to the first song: 　　 🤠 　　 🎸🎸🎸 　 🎸　 🎸　 🎸 👇　 🎸　 🎸　 👇 　　 🎸　 🎸 　　 🎸　 🎸 　　 👢　 👢

3/5

i don't know what to make of this

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

i love a good long song. when I listened to "everybody knows this is nowhere," i immediately took to 'cowgirl in the sand.' this is an album where every song is 'cowgirl in the sand' so why wouldn't i like it?

Arise

Sepultura

3/5

there used to be a time when i listened to a lot of metal and this would have been 5 stars. now, it is unlikely that i will listen to this or remember it after today.
