Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I've never heard the Stones beyond what's on the radio. I was surprised at the almost Southern American sound present here, and the almost goofiness of some of the songs. A solid album, and I'm glad I listened to it.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Not my scene. What I listened to was good, I get why people like it. But it's just a little too croon-y for me.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

Solid 60s Britrock

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

3/5

Apparently, Sigur Ros is not my thing. I always thought they were more atmospheric black metal. This just isn't my scene.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

I don't like Prince

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

4/5

Weird. Good weird, even if it's not my style. Lots of Regina Spektor vibes, though very much their own thing. At another point in my life, this would have really resonated with me. For now, I recognize that it's very good, I'm glad I listened, but I doubt I'll revisit this, at least any time soon.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

It was fine. I'm not a huge REM fan, but they're fine.

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

4/5

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

1977

Ash

3/5

Meh. 90s whine-rock.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

Meh. 90s whine-rock.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

A classic, but I can see why Bob Dylan is an acquired taste/divisive. I grew up listening to his music, so this one's a winner.

The Cars

3/5

Snivilisation

Orbital

4/5

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

3/5

Meh

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

Boy oh boy is this a lot of the Beach Boys. Seminal work in a lot of ways, paved the way for a lot of modern music. But my god am I not feeling it.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Excellent

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

A classic. The soundtrack to my teenage years.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Not bad. Very of its time, but in a good way. Can see how this album would be at least partly responsible for a lot of the "sound" of the '90s. Also, wonder if Modest Mouse was at all influenced by this album/band...

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

1/5

Man, disco sucks. Like, the music is good, but the lyrics are just awful. Who sings about this shit?

War

2/5

U2 cannot escape Bono. This earlier stuff is obviously influential, and I very much like the protesting nature of it. But I really dislike U2.
