Blue

Joni Mitchell

2/5

I enjoy the acoustic and musicianship of Joni - but lyrical can vocally it leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

1/5

Makes me wonder what the allure of this band is. Not a great album imo - struggled to keep my attention

Revolver

Beatles

2/5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Winehouse is an amazing vocal talent and the jazz ensemble is fantastic. A lot of the subject matter didn’t register for me but no denying the sound.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

I knew of Blondie prior but outside of her hits handnt heard anything of hers. This was a surprisingly good album but not outstanding. I would go a 3.5 if I could.

Green

R.E.M.

2/5

Nothing about this album stood out until “Hairshirt” and that only stood out because I thought I was listening to a Hootie song. I never wanted to skip anything - so it gets a rounded up two

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

2/5

Honestly: this was an album that I wanted to rate higher based on a few select songs and it's reputation. But upon listening to it for the first time all the way through in order it did not resonate with me. It came through as very staccato-esque to me and not "smooth." A surprise to me that it was not as strong as I would have thought coming into it.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

1/5

Two great songs but the rest of the album was nails on chalkboard for me. Couldnt get through this album fast enough to move on.

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

4/5

I have not been doing the album generator for long, but this has been the best album I have listened too so far. Surprising to me given some of the names and bands listed previously, but this was killer.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

2/5

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

5/5

Thought this was the strongest album i have heard yet - likely because I was not expecting it to be so good.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

2.65/5. The majority of the songs on this album were background noise to me and didnt stick out. Exceptions were sympathy, Jigsaw Puzzle, factory girl and salt of the earth. Those were great songs. Also the more i listen to Stones albums all the way through, the more I am getting annoyed by Jagger's delivery.

Homework

Daft Punk

2/5

Not good. This album had one good song and the rest I struggled to get through. Rounded up to a two start rating, but in reality is an upper 1 start.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

2/5

This album was a let down for me. The audio itself was choppy which likely made it hard for me to enjoy. High two star rating.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

2/5

Cant deny the skills of the drummer and the guitarist in this work - they are off the charts. Not my cup of tea - would not listen again. 2 stars for personal preference, but would give a 3 or 4 for the musical skills.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

First album that I knew in advanced and had listened too. Love almost every song on this list!

The Stooges

3/5

Some great songs and some strange ones. I wouldnt listen again but it was enjoyable.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Fantastic album - always a great listen.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Forgot how many great songs came from this album. Great listen

Live Through This

Hole

2/5

This was an interesting album that I just couldnt get into. I didnt hate it - but could not find anything that I thought was a great listen.

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

3/5

This album was a smooth listen that I really enjoyed. Dont think that I would listen to it again, but it was very enjoyable.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

2/5

This was a very strange album for me that I simply could not get into. Not my choice in music, and while I could appreciate and see the musicianship in effect - definitely not an album that I would listen too again or recommend to others.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

1/5

No idea what I just listened too here

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

Perhaps a slightly higher rating given the preceding album, but it was an enjoyable listen

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Great listen all the way through!

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

3/5

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

3/5

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

Very solid album - not as heavy hitting as I would have thought for a "gothic" band. I enjoyed this as a solid listen - would not be going out of my way to listen again.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

I actually have a hard time to rate this album, as it went by extremely fast - which I do not know if it is a good thing or bad thing. Obviously there are some highlight songs, but the others seemed to breeze by.
