Not too many albums changed music. This one does. Not a bad song on here. Punk meets mainstream.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

2.5/5 - Starts off hot! Then fades away(:....A little too much of the disco production sound for my tastes...

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

Great big band album of the 50’s. Solid vibe!

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Great album! Gritty and raw bluesy rock n roll. Stones at their dirtiest. Some throwaways towards the end. Doesn’t need to be a double album but what’s there embodies the stones more than any other album.

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

Great opening album from these guys. Never actually gave it a proper listen before. I’ll be adding it to my vinyl collection soon!

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Better than expected. But didn’t care for the meat is murder tune. It’s too preachy but the rest of the album is solid.

Caetano Veloso

3/5

One of the better non English speaking albums. Great flow and all around sound. Enjoyed it thoroughly!

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Has some classic tunes. But overall I find it a bit overrated stones album. However - SofD and salt of the earth is are great bookends.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

YES!! A classic. Iommi riffs coupled with Ozzy's iconic voice. The foundation for all future metal.

Trio

Dolly Parton

2/5

I get it. Put three prominent female singers in a room together and put an album out. They can all really sing. However, doesn’t do much for me.

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

2/5

Classic 2010’s indie electronic pop sound. Not always my thing but they had a few gems. Mother we share was my favorite.

#1 Record

Big Star

3/5

Pretty solid. I hear how they influenced 80’s indie bands like: the replacements and guided by voices and REM.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

Better than I expected. I figured he’d be more all acoustic singer songwriter and wasn’t. Really enjoyed it and I’d listen to it again.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

2/5

Outside of lucky man pretty boring album. Doesn’t do much.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5
