Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

2/5

Not a jazz fan, but since this is a journey, let's see how good is this... I've always said it takes a special kind of people to enjoy this genre, it's so technical but at the same time, so chaotic, I insist on this, jazz is not for the faint of heart or somebody that will not try to experiment something new

Pretty generic 70s stuff to be honest

Winter In America

Gil Scott-Heron

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

I love it, plain and simple. My Beatles journey Bagan when I was really young, and never paid much attention to them until a day in which I listened to them on detail and they blew my mind! Such raw energy, such experimenting minds! Truly one of the most influential bands of all time

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

Gangsta Rap in all of its glory I wasn't aware of them when this came out I was hooked on something else, but it's an amazing record, witness of its time and the struggles of the race. A must listen for everyone

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

At last! Something totally in my spectrum! Perfect doesn't begin to describe it! Amazing, superb, delightful, gorgeous, just a few adjectives for a record that was so influential for generations of metal heads to come. Battery opens like a raging bull heading straight for your gut and just goes through it without even a "how do you do" Master is just a damn jewel nothing wrong with it it's just perfection incarnate The thing that should not be it's dark, sluggish, heavy and it feels like you're drowning in a black sea while 2 giant red eyes just stare at you as you go down Welcome home hs an amazing solo that just speaks to your soul, it's strong and overwhelming Disposable heroes was the prelude for what One would become, an anti war anthem depicting the hopelessness of empty conflicts. Some would say it's too long, I say it's the correct length for the message to be spread. Lepper messiah is just amazing climbs up like a bitch and you don't even realize what's happening Orion, is just as beautiful today as it was the first time I heard it, Cliff's essence is just quintessential in this track, his solo resounds in your bones and takes you to places you've long forgotten, when life was simpler Damage Inc., it just closes with a bang, leaving you speechless and wondering what just hit you... Yeah I'm a metallica fanboy, I've been that for 30 years now and I will be un till the day I exhale my last breath
