New age meets folk/indy. Pretty solid self titled.

Metallica

"The troubled production coincided with Ulrich, Hammett, and Newsted divorcing their wives" - You can't convince me this isn't divorced man music.

Amazing album.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

It is cool to listen to a live album from 70 years ago. Sarah Vaughan is very solid, but not my go to listening.

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

Slaps

Ray Of Light

Madonna

4/5

Good album. It is interesting to hear pop music incorporate a bit of DnB/UK electronic music.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Dolly Parton's voice is too high pitched in this album for me to really enjoy it. A re-recording of it would land it 5/5 imo.

The 13th Floor Elevators

1/5

Whatever they were doing with the second guitar(?) across the whole album was terrible.

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Many iconic sounds here, but at the end of the day it is new wave.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Classic, but doesn't bop or age as well as I would have thought.

Depeche Mode

2/5

Kinda a drag.

It doesn't seem like the album's producers did their due diligence to credit their influences.

Holy shit.

Rubber Soul

3/5

Revolver is better, but this does pick up in the second half.

3/5

Good, but its a 30 minute live album. No idea how you could point to this and say "greatest 1000 albums" over King's studio work.

Like poppy Talking Heads.

Easy listen.

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo
