Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

I liked some of the songs on here. It was more to my younger taste than my current taste. But I’m glad to have discovered this artist and this album. I’d never heard of either before.

Green

R.E.M.

5/5

This, my first album of the generator, was one of my favourites when I was younger but I hadn’t listened to it in years. What a delight to rediscover this powerhouse from REM as my first album.

Bossanova

Pixies

2/5

I’ve often heard of the pixies, but had never listened to them until this came up for me today. Now I know why I never listened to them. Definitely not my thing.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Great album. A couple of those songs I knew while, but had no idea they were by Iggy Pop. I thought the whole thing was excellent.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

I only really knew 90125. This was a good album even though I’m not a progressive rock fan generally.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

2/5

Listening to this album was a reminder that I don’t really like Steely Dan. I listened to it, but I didn’t enjoy it.

Diamond Life

Sade

2/5

Not a huge fan of R&B. I just listened to snippets of this and I still feel this way.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

2/5

R&B is not my thing. I listened to some of this but skipped through a lot of the songs. I recognize her talent but this is simply not my thing.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

4/5

I love Alice Cooper and haven’t listened to this album inmany years. I first heard this album as a young teenager. And it had the best line of all time (we can’t even think of a word that rhymes).

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

2/5

I’ve heard of this band, but I had never listened to any of their stuff. I could definitely listen to it again, although I wouldn’t run out and buy the album.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

This is my first five star review since I started on this project. I’m not sure if it’s primarily because I’m genX and was still in my formative years or not, but 33 years later I still really love this great album. Almost every song on the album is fantastic and even the worst songs are still good and the best are fantastic. I haven’t listened to it in many years and still remembered it like I’d just to it a month ago. 💕 Grunge for life baby!

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

A couple of songs I remembered. Most I had never heard before. Meh.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Meh . My husband was upset that I didn't appreciate this album more.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

This is the first time I’ve listened to the entire album. I knew the hits but not the other songs. I can see that with a bit of play it would be a good album.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

It’s Radiohead so it’s great.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

3/5

I like Elton John, but in smaller doses. Maybe I’ve just been over exposed over the years. I can easily listen to this album, but I probably wouldn’t choose to do so.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

I'm a sucker for REM and this album is fantastic although it's not my favourite. Unlike many bands, REM's words actually have meaning. Add a catchy tune and it's a winning combination.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

1/5

I’ve never heard of him or this album, and I hope to never hear of him again. I was able to listen to a couple of songs without cringing, but most of them were a painful experience. Maybe I’m not at a high enough level of consciousness if so, I hope I never reach whatever level that would take.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

2/5

I wanted to like this more than I did. It’s listenable but I wouldn’t choose it.

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

I’m not the biggest fan of the Who but this is a good album.

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

There isn’t a bad some on this album. I sort of forgot just how great it is until this relistening.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

2/5

Meh

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Album. Not my favourite Springsteen album but still pretty good after all these years.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

New artist for me and new album. I liked it and can imagine it would grow on me even more with further listening.

Blur

3/5

Ok album.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

2/5

Meh. It’s ok but I’m not sure I’d listen to it again.

Germs

1/5

Unlistenable. This is my worst album so far.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

2/5

A few catchy”ish” tunes but I’d never listen to it again.

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

There isn’t a bad song on this fantastic album. I’m so glad I rediscovered this after not listening to it in its entirety for ages.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

This album is not for me.

Raw Power

The Stooges

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

Decent album.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

I loved listening to this album again. It had been at least a couple of decades since I had listened to it in its entirety and it is as good as the first time I listened to it.
