Disintegration by The Cure

Already familiar with this one. Masterpiece. 4.5 on RYM

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes

3. Bit bland but somewhat imaginative for a Stripes album.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Already listened to it before. 3.5 on Rym. Strings to syrupy and vocal lines to samey but still good .

London Calling by The Clash

4.5 (almost) all killer no filler.

Queen II by Queen

Made In Japan by Deep Purple

Rated 2 on Rym, 2 here. Just not my thing.

Beautiful Freak by Eels

Reminded me of old dEUS. Less whimsical and crazier than the direct follow up to this one. Really solid album all around.

Doolittle by Pixies

4 on RYM. 4 here. A classic for a reason ( please oh please add decimal points here).

Close To The Edge by Yes

Not big on prog nowadays but this kept me VERY entretained troughout.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time by Cornershop

How is this one of the best 1001 albums ? "Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow" is a great line but other than that I dont see any appeal on this.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye

Nice trip-hop and Ska vibes but I just couldn't stand the guy's voice.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince

Amazing variety on this one. Dated production but chock full of ideas. A masterpiece with a clunker here and there. 3.5 on RYM updated to 4 upon relisten.

Django Django by Django Django

Now here's finally something I never even heard about. Vocals were subpar but instrumentation was nice and inventive enough. Went to rym to rate it 3.5. 3 here because it's closer to a 3 than to a 4.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes

Stones rip off. 2

Cloud Nine by The Temptations

I'm starting to think that psychadelic soul might be my favorite genre of all time. Great album.

Nighthawks At The Diner by Tom Waits

Oh man what a trip. "I'm so goddamn horny the crack of dawn has to be careful around me". Brilliant album.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo

Sweet seeet voice and some great bass on this one. I wish this had decimal points tho because this feels like a 3.5 to me .

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie

Low-Life by New Order

Didn't make much of an impression. I've always been more of a JD guy .

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington

Damn this is good.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash

The Grand Tour by George Jones

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

Station To Station by David Bowie

Masterpiece.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Closer to a 4 than to a 3 really. Sounds like a Brazilian Sgt peppers. Love it.

Basket of Light by Pentangle

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things

On RYM i gave this a 5. This app trally needs decimals. Great album and the best example of 60's psychadelia I can think off. Piper at the gates of dawn done right. Exciting stuff.
