Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

I haven’t listened to this is years, but it’s a ton of fun. Hip hop isn’t usually in my wheelhouse, but this one is hard to resist.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

Nice blend of songs. I prefer their more guitar forward albums like this.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Aside from Roadhouse Blues all these songs were new to me. Not a Doors fan but this one is very good.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Never heard this before. Liked the sound but would need a bunch more listens to appreciate this fully.

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

I like Moon Shaped Pool a little more, but this is definitely a Radiohead highlight.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Only knew a couple songs but loved this. Great sound.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Enjoyed the sound

Superunknown

Soundgarden

2/5

I remember when this came out. Not into this style of music then and I’m still not into it now.

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

I always love this. Broad mix of songs and they are clearly willing to stretch creatively.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Not my musical style, but it’s a worthwhile listen.

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

3/5

Totally new to me. Feels like one I’d need to listen to a few times to really get into. Didn’t really like it on the first try.

Cross

Justice

2/5

Didn’t do much for me. Not my usual musical style.

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

4/5

Enjoyed this a lot while driving. Totally new to me but it grabbed my attention from the beginning.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

4/5

Love About a Boy but never heard this one. I think I could really get into this after a few listens.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Not really my thing but I appreciated trying it. Love the raw energy.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Hadn’t listened to this in years. Born to Run is a bit better but I can see why this was such a hit in 1984.

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

3/5

Totally new to me, good jazzy/funky sound

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

3/5

Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. Nice harmonies.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

An old favorite I hadn’t listened to in a long time. Properly brooding.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

A raw and ragged style, probably better with a few more listens

Achtung Baby

5/5

Another one I hadn't listened to in a long time. Enjoyed it as much as I did back when it came out.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

Totally new to this, but I found it fascinating. Something I could get into with more listens.

Low

David Bowie

4/5

Kind of surprised by this. This part of Bowie's career is new to me, but I was impressed.

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

2/5

It's weird and seems sort of hostile toward its audience. Being deliberately difficult is an artistic choice I guess. I'll give it more than 1 star for holding tightly to its own vision and for its raw energy.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Nice blend of catchy hooks and edgy songs.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

5/5

This was already one of my favorites, so easy to give it five stars.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

5/5

One of my all-time favorites. Just overflowing with great musical ideas.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

A good combination of familiar singles and deep cuts.

LP1

FKA twigs

4/5

This is the only album of hers that I haven't listened to before and I find I need to listen to an album of hers several times to fully appreciate what she's doing. Still, a good sound and lots of good moments.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

Not in the top tier of Radiohead albums, but still intriguing.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

2/5

Bland R&B pop is not my thing. Only knew the title track, the rest was new to me and didn't really engage me.

Black Sabbath

4/5

Never listened to this before, but I enjoyed their sound a lot.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Hadn't heard it in years. Not really a fan of her sound and not sure this album has aged well.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

2/5

Didn't hate it, but found it very bland. Maybe it would grow on me with repeated listens, but one listen left me feeling uninspired.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

Outstanding

Killing Joke

3/5

Not really my musical style, but feels like it does a decent job.

The Undertones

4/5

This one was totally new to me. Love the energy.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Yes, his voice soars in totally unsubtle ways at times, but this is a monumental album that deserves its accolades.

Eagles

4/5

Very good undemanding music, most of the songs were already familiar to me but I don't think I listened to this album all the way through before.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

Sort of amusing for a single listen, but it would get quickly annoying to listen to this multiple times.

Sincere

Mj Cole

3/5

Not really my musical style and goes on and on and on.

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

I'm sure there is some artistic justification for this, but it's hard to listen to.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

Very familiar with basically all of these songs. An almost flawless classic.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

3/5

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

An old favorite that I always enjoy.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

5/5

One of the great voices of all time. So brilliant.

Sail Away

Randy Newman

5/5

I think I knew only a few of these songs, but his voice and musical style is so familiar that it felt like I'd heard this before. Enjoyed it a lot.

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

Totally unfamiliar with this band and album. It's just way too hyper-kinetic for my taste.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

3/5

The sound is decent, but not great. Felt very mixed on this.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

I was never a huge Nirvana fan, but this live performance is superb.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

5/5

I had not heard this album before, but this impressed me a lot. Excellent chill sound.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

4/5

Great trippy sound, but there are several Pink Floyd albums that I like more than this.
