Queen

Beatles,showtunes, some hits.

The Joshua Tree

3/5

Worth the first three songs

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

Reminds me of Mom. So many great songs. I prefer Eric Burton for this style of singer. A bit more raw maybe.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

Victoria, Drivin, and Shang rala are great. I love that they wanted to make their own style of music.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

Great album. Silver Springs should have made the cut, amazing song.

Guero

Beck

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

2/5

Not really my jam. maybe too theatrical for my taste

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

3/5

Another talented individual who's is such an asshole that it takes away from his brilliance. He's so far stuck up his own ass and it plays out in the music. Still a pretty good album.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

My generation comes in like a train. You can start to see where they are going. From “borrowing” black music to forming their own sound.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

I love me some Steely Dan!

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

4/5

My uncle had me listen to this when I was 14-15 because I was getting into punk. This and the Stooges. I loved it and still do. Such energy!

Synchronicity

The Police

1/5

Um… the Police really suck. I just don’t get it. It’s jazz rock which is done way better by Steely Dan. Sting is a massive douche bag. He’s like the Bono of England. Boo this band.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

I weas surprised by this album. It seems like a great album to clean the house to, nice mix of energy and groove.

1984

Van Halen

4/5

What a joyous album. You can't help but smile and shake your assets!

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

4/5

I have heard more songs from that album through various playlist that I really didn't know Was Adam and the Ants. I really liked what I heard. The sound of the drums were a lot of fun.

The Band

4/5

Such great lyrics. The night they drive old Dixie down is a top 50 song of all time for me.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

Wow, who does this sound like…. It’s everything you want from David Bowie except it’s missing David Bowie.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

A British dude signing country, Wut? oh yeah Wild horses is one of my favorite Stones songs. I take it back.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

do you want 9 minute complex thrash metal? Um yes please! Ride the Lightning and Kill em All are slightly better imho.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

What a terrible album cover! Just why? Album has lots of memories tied to it though. This was a very early band I fell in love with and probably over listened to the point where I just hear it now and am not amazed anymore. Probably a shame on my end.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

3/5

I do like Rip it Up. Probably felt ahead of it's time. most of the songs felt like filler though to me.

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

1/5

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

Probably my least favorite White Stripes albums.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

I did not hear anything special on this album. Blur is the much better band from this era.

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

1/5

Not my jam

Low

David Bowie

3/5

I don't think I have ever listened to this album all the way through. In classic Bowie style, he writes a couple of singles to appease the part time fans record labels then does what ever the fuck he wants. Personally, maybe I'm a casual fan because I want more songs like Sound and Vision, but God bless him for doing what he wants on his terms.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

2/5

I gave this a fair try to hear why Kendrick is considered one of the best rappers, I guess I don't listen to enough rap to understand the nuances of what makes him great. Interesting to listen to, but probably not something I'd revisit.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

You can start to see how experimental Paul is staring to get with some of these tracks. What a gift he is to the music world. America is a top 50 song of all-time for me.

Liquid Swords

GZA

3/5

I like this style of rap better than most. it almost feels like indie rap.

Odelay

Beck

4/5

Great Beck album probably my favorite of his.

Ctrl

SZA

3/5

I was surprised by this artist. It feels like rap over indie. Still not my favorite genre but I can appreciate the style and effort to do something new.

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

5/5

First punk album that sounded less hardcore than everything I had listened to before that. I adore this album and I wish we could have seen were they would have gone had he hadn’t pass.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Probably my favorite and most listened to White Strips album

Opus Dei

Laibach

3/5

I can hear there influence.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

One of my favorite voices from the 80's-90's the rest of the band is no slouch either.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

3/5

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

1/5

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

3/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

I'm a Coltrane guy. Love the Bass and drums on this album though.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Wish they hadn't polished their sound so much in their last few albums. The first three albums were special.

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

1/5

Where is the line with cultural appropriation and honoring another culture begin and end? I don't know.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

This album was one of the ones that my parents had and I listened to quite a bit. It has held up for me. When my only source of music was either my parents collection or what was on the radio, this album showed me a crunchier guitar that I would continue to love with other artists.

American Pie

Don McLean

3/5

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

3/5

Nothing compares to you is such a great song. I feel like she didn't have a cohesive album though. Some pop some soul, and some that mix the two. The best songs are were she blends the two in my opinion.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

Permission to Land

The Darkness

4/5

What a fun, over produced album!

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals
