Talking Heads
3/5
Interesante álbum pero not my cup of tea. La voz de David Byrne es sin embargo clásico Talking Heads y me transportó a los 70s. Me alegro de haberlo escuchado.
The Zombies
5/5
Fantastic album! I'd certainly knew This will be our year and Time of the Season, which I have favorited in Spotify. I'm so surprised I didn't know about The Zombies by name. Great find!
Depeche Mode
5/5
Beck
4/5
Me gusta el sonido del disco aunque no logro identificar a ninguna canción individual como imprescindible. Pero el mood del disco, muy bueno.
Fela Kuti
3/5
Another cool 70s record. Not exactly up my alley but I do recognize that it's quite a good record.
The Verve
4/5
Fantastic record. One of my favorites. What can I say?
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
Cool 70s sounds. Layla is, of course, a classic, as well as Little Wing (although I'm partial to Sting's rendition!) but other songs are also nice.
Fleetwood Mac
4/5
Ok, this one is a classic one that even I know! Several favorites here.
Hot Chip
4/5
Actually surprised I didn't know this British band! It's right along my alley! Cool find and great record.
The Prodigy
3/5
Interesting. Glad I finally listened to the whole album. But not my cup of tea.
Prince
3/5
Interesting. Liked Let's go Crazy. I'm surprised I didn't recognize Purple Rain. Glad I finally listened to this album.
Miles Davis
3/5
Miles Davis is always an excellent choice. I didn´t know about this album in particular but I enjoyed it. It has only two songs and the record lasts 23 minutes. I guess it was a one-song per side record. Cool!
Public Enemy
3/5
Catchy, but not for me.
Jorge Ben Jor
3/5
Another fantastic record. I'm not too fond of (which doesn't mean I don´t like it, I'm not just that particularly into) Brazilian music, but some of these bossanova songs were quite nice!
Black Sabbath
3/5
Reminds me very much of Iron Maiden. Too bad I didn't know much about this band (only the typical stories about the bad and others) at that time.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Cool album. Three songs that I really like. Overall, a very good album.
Sufjan Stevens
3/5
Interesting record, with one song I like a lot (Chicago), but the rest of them are just ok.
Arctic Monkeys
2/5
Sonido interesante, parecido a The Strokes, pero not my cup of tea.
Willie Nelson
3/5
I get why Willie Nelson is so revered but this record is just not for me.
Solange
4/5
Cool record. I haven't faved a single song but the whole record vibe is so cool, I like it a lot. A very tranquil and moody record. But good moody.
Joan Armatrading
2/5
Not bad, but definitely not a fan.
Beastie Boys
3/5
I feel I would have loved this record in my teens.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
Frank Sinatra! Waht else can I say. A fantastic record with lovely songs. Two of them were already favorite of mine.
Beastie Boys
3/5
I actually liked this record better than Licensed to Ill. And I'm sure I'd have loved it in my teens. But it's not for me, now.
Marvin Gaye
3/5
Interesting 70s record. I won't have it in my collection but I wouldn't complain if it starts playing.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
Cool 70-s record. Reminds me of the times I loved The Doors and others.
Elis Regina
3/5
Fine, specially Tiro Ao Alvaro. But I wouldn't really purchase this one.
The Saints
2/5
When I first pressed play I thought, cool, a Ramonesque band! But that was too soon. Yeah they're punk, and some songs are kinda cool, but only so because they sound like a Ramones song. Too bad, I was expecting to be better impressed.
Norah Jones
4/5
Loved this record when it first came out. It was my jazzy fase. Still like it very much but don't listen to it as much as I did once.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
This is one of the records that marked my youth. How cool it was when I saw RHCP for the first time, live!
Steely Dan
3/5
Sigur Rós
4/5
I actually like this record. Not any song in particular, but the whole record. It's like a modern Enya (although it's a 24-year-old disc). But quite cool. Me likes! A lot!
Nick Drake
3/5
Quite surprised this is a 1972 record, as it sounds very fresh. Mesmerizing.
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
3/5
Interesting 50s record. Quite fun to listen to Buddy Holly. Not my decade, though.
The Rolling Stones
2/5
Not my favorite Stones record. But interesting, nonetheless.
Elbow
3/5
Interesting, but blurry. I like it, but I can't distinguish it from other music I like.
Beastie Boys
2/5
Still not my cup of tea.
Pantera
2/5
Maybe 30 years ago, but not today.
Fela Kuti
3/5
Interesting, but I'm usually partial to wordless jazz.
Stevie Wonder
2/5
Cool, but not for me.
The Everly Brothers
3/5
Nice record, even if I only knew of one song (Love Hurts).
Alice In Chains
3/5
Reminds me of my Iron Maiden period. Cool, but too bad I didn't listen to it back then.
Mudhoney
3/5
Another hard rock record that I wish I had listened to in my teens. Cool!
David Bowie
3/5
Nice record. First time listening to it. Don't know any song but cool nevertheless.
Rocket From The Crypt
3/5
Interesting record. Not earth-shattering, but col nevertheless.
Portishead
4/5
One very well known song, but others equally nice. Cool album!
Nirvana
5/5
Oh, boy, what can I say? One of those records that marked my youth. Fantastic album!
Tortoise
3/5
Interesting, but for a different time in life.
The Who
3/5
I was lucky enough to have attended a The Who concert, and I can attest to the energy that they brought. I enjoyed the afternoon, but was not moved by them.
Lana Del Rey
4/5
I can't distinguish any song but I do like this record.
Hugh Masekela
3/5
Cool jazz
Queen
3/5
I like Queen, and I like this album. Sadly, I don't love it.
Cypress Hill
2/5
Ok. I think. But not my type.
Television
2/5
At least after this record, Spotify chose The Jesus & Mary Chain for me.
Elton John
4/5
Sir Elton John is an institution, and a couple of songs of this record have lives of their own. I like Sir Elton, I I don´t love him, but I like him a lot.
Nirvana
4/5
Nirvana being Nirvana. Not my favorite Nirvana album, but a great one nevertheless.
The Temptations
3/5
Cool 70s record. Not my thing, but I understand why they were so famous.
The Killers
4/5
A favorite of mine. Saw them live in Japan long time ago. Quite good!
Marvin Gaye
3/5
Cool 70s record.
David Bowie
3/5
Interesting record. Bowie is an institution. Glad I have listened to it, but I won't put it on repeat.
Incubus
4/5
Quite interesting record. I guess, had I listened in my teens, I'd be an Incubus fan. Cool.
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
3/5
There was a time in my life when I preferred this type of music over all. Now I look for different genres, but I still like this.
Spacemen 3
2/5
I used to like instrumental music, even more so electronic one. But somehow I cannot connect to this record.
Leonard Cohen
2/5
Interesting, but not for me.
3/5
Like this record. Don't love it, but like it.
Dusty Springfield
4/5
Actually, quite good!
Suede
3/5
Like Suede, but prefer other records.
PJ Harvey
4/5
A very interesting record. Reminds me a lot of Christina Rosenvinge. Cool!
Billy Joel
4/5
Cool album.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Ahhhh... a very good album. Not so fan or reggae but this was good. Of course, I knew some songs but, overall, great record.
Traffic
3/5
One of the songs (Freedom Rider) was fantastic! The other ones, just so-so.
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Great jazz, fantastrc voice
The Icarus Line
3/5
Reminds me of my Iron Maiden era. Cool, but not for my current me.
Paul Simon
4/5
Fantastic record! Have to admit I never listened it in its entirety (just song by song) but I'm glad I did. Cool album!
Fiona Apple
4/5
Certainly a fantastic album. The 90s were some great years for music. Some songs are better than other but, overall, a great album.
Baaba Maal
2/5
Another one of those "interesting but not for me" albums.
Ms. Dynamite
5/5
Wait, what??? This is a fantastic album!!! How haven't I heard of it! Son nice to have found it here! Too bad I can't listen to most songs on Spotify... but for that there's always YouTube!
Deep Purple
4/5
Very cool record. Never before heard it all.
Gorillaz
3/5
Cool record. A couple of cool very well known song and some regular ones.
The Stooges
2/5
Interesting, but not for me.
My Bloody Valentine
2/5
Not my thing.
Adam & The Ants
3/5
Interesting, but not my thing
Frank Zappa
3/5
Cool album. I don't think I'll want to hear it often, but when presented with it, I enjoy it.
Muddy Waters
3/5
Interesting jazzy album. Cool for rainy days.
R.E.M.
4/5
I really like REM and was fortunate to have listened to them live. It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) is one of the songs that marked my youth. I have listened all these songs before but never in order. I like the album a lot.
Brian Wilson
3/5
I know Brian Wilson is part of the Beach Boys, but this records is too Beach Boys. Shouldn't it be different? Or else, shouldn't this be a Beach Boys record? Cool, but not cool.
The Offspring
4/5
Fantastic album!
David Bowie
3/5
Heroes is a fantastic song, but the rest of the album is just fine.
The Velvet Underground
4/5
While not my favorite record, I happen to have listened to it four times before deciding on its rating. I quite like it.
Goldfrapp
3/5
Cute record
Sebadoh
2/5
Too noisy. Not my thing.
The Allman Brothers Band
3/5
Cool!
Isaac Hayes
3/5
Interesting listening.
Janis Joplin
4/5
Cool!
Steely Dan
3/5
Another interesting record. Cool that it was recorded in the 70s.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
Frank's records are always fantastic, and this one being with Jobim (the famous Girl from Ipanema) makes it a must.
Stan Getz
3/5
Interesting, but not my thing (although, of course, the Girl from Ipanema is a classic)
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Interesting record. Not my favorite, but good.
Beth Orton
3/5
Cool, just not my age.
Richard Hawley
3/5
Not bad but too slow for my taste. There was a time in which this could have been a great record for me (my Enya and This Mortal Coil era), but not today.
Leonard Cohen
3/5
I recognize it as a good album, but it's quite different from what I like.
Sam Cooke
3/5
Very good. Me likes.
David Bowie
2/5
Oh, darn, it's David Bowie and all, but I just don't dig this album. Too bad, because I believe it's a good one.
Super Furry Animals
3/5
I quite like the sound.
Primal Scream
2/5
While I remember liking Primal Scream in the past, somehow this record is just not for me.
Moby
5/5
Fantastic record. Brings a smile to my face every time I listen to it.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Interesting, but not for me.
Beck
3/5
Two cool songs but the rest are just meh.
Beatles
4/5
Don't know many of the songs but it's quite a nice album!
Neil Young
2/5
Well, too bad, it's not really my thing. Cool, but not for me.
Nina Simone
3/5
I some other record by Nina Simone. I like that one much better.
Duke Ellington
4/5
I was actually not in the mood for some jazz but this record changed my mind. So cool!
The Smiths
4/5
A very good album. Not Smith-s best, but great nonetheless.
The Clash
4/5
Quite cool. Only knew a couple of songs but I ended up listening to this record four or five times.
Happy Mondays
3/5
While I like Happy Mondays, I'll freely admit that this was not my favorite record of them. Too long perhaps? Maybe I'm getting too old. Three or four decades ago I'd have loved the extremely long 12" remix versions of their songs.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
A fantastic album! Nuff said!
Linkin Park
3/5
Interesting, with one very popular song (that I like), "In the end", but the rest of the record sounds more or less the same to me. I know, I know, I'm getting old. I wish I had learned about them when I was younger. Still, cool record.
Michael Jackson
5/5
Fantastic album.
The Byrds
3/5
Nice, but not for me.
James Brown
4/5
I've always liked a good live record and this one is no exception. James Brown is not only a fantastic singer but he electrifies his audience!!!
Green Day
3/5
I like the record and obviously have added one song to my repeat list. But it doesn't register as a fantastic record to me.
Metallica
3/5
Cool, but not for me. Too sad, because I'm an Iron Maiden guy.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Great album! Stairway to Heaven is here. Nuff said.
Elastica
3/5
Cool band, a couple of cool songs, but not enough.
Bad Company
2/5
Not bad but not my thing. Just mehhh,,,
The Monks
2/5
Well, yeah, interesting, but I don't see myself listening to their whole album.
Foo Fighters
3/5
A very cool album, with a song I really like (Big Me), but I can't grade it with more than 3 stars. I like it, but I don't love it.
Amy Winehouse
5/5
While not every song is a must, the overall quality of this album is fantastic! I can listen to this record over and over during a whole day. So sad Amy passed away. So talented and so young!
The Young Rascals
3/5
I don't usually like that much 60s or 70s records but this one is quite good!
Peter Gabriel
2/5
I like Genesis but somehow I dislike Peter Gabriel's solo music. I have watched the recording of one or two of his concerts and yes, they are good. But his music alone, I don't really like it that much.
Ice Cube
3/5
Interesting, very rhythmical, not exactly my thing but I believe it's quite good.
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
I've always liked individual Cyndi Lauper's songs, one by one, but I admit that this is a very good record! Me likes.
Otis Redding
4/5
Great album! I'm so happy when I discover new great jazz albums. This one is one of those.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
2/5
Didn't really like this record. Don't hate it, but don't like it either.
Alice Cooper
2/5
Seems like a nice record but it was not for my taste,
Serge Gainsbourg
3/5
Interesting! Not sure I'd listen to this record normally, but on a relaxing day I certainly would!
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Interesting. Not for me, but cool
Lauryn Hill
3/5
Good. Not earth-shattering, but good.
Fats Domino
3/5
Cool 60s music, but not my favorite.
Marty Robbins
2/5
Cool, but just ok.
Burning Spear
3/5
I don't love any single song but I like the overall mood of the whole record. Cool.
Throwing Muses
3/5
Reminds me very much of Cocteau Twins. Were I 30 years younger, it'd be a new favorite of mine. For now, just a cool record.
Radiohead
4/5
Fantastic record. Not my favorite one of theirs, but fantastic nonetheless. I saw them live in Japan and they were awesome!
Stevie Wonder
2/5
Sounds ok, it's Stevie Wonder, but it doesn't do it for me. Not bad, just meh.
Hüsker Dü
3/5
Interesting album. Listened to it three times but it didn't grow much on me. Still, I feel it's a good album.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
Interesting, not bad, but not for me.
Don McLean
2/5
Just one very well known song. But the rest are just ok.
Arcade Fire
3/5
Interesting. Not bad, not fantastic. 3 stars
Buena Vista Social Club
4/5
This is a very good record. I remember watching the movie and being blown away by it. Very cool. I gifted my wife the record because she loved it even more than me. I don't listen to it (not my usual style) but when my wife listens to it, I enjoy it. Cool.
Supergrass
2/5
Cool but somehow not for me.
Girls Against Boys
2/5
Not bad, but not for me.
Ute Lemper
2/5
Another cool record that is definitely not for me.
Beatles
4/5
The Beatles. Nothing else to say.
Steely Dan
3/5
Good.
Harry Nilsson
4/5
Didn't know of Nilsson before this list, and for being introduced I'm grateful. Not the best record of my life, not earth shattering, but I enjoyed it more than I thought. I have marked three songs as likes in Spotify. Cool!
Yes
3/5
Interesting record. Not my favorite Yes record, but nice. Still, just a 3 for me.
AC/DC
3/5
Good record, even though I only know of one song. Still, a good one.
Soul II Soul
4/5
I like club music. Don't love it, but like it. But I really like (almost love) this record. I don't know if t's because it's just cool, or because I have listened to it at 2 am, time at which lounge music sounds better. But yes, four stars from me!
Carpenters
4/5
I like Carpenters, like the album, and love a couple of songs (who doesn't!). But i don't love the album. It's quite good, for sure! But just 4-star good.
Bill Evans Trio
3/5
Nice. Some jazz artists are immediately recognizable for their style, some are just good. This one was just good. I can listen to it several times but I couldn't recognize it if heard at other times.
Radiohead
3/5
It's Radiohead so it's a good album. I like it, but I don't love it.
The Pogues
2/5
I should like the Pogues, I really should. I had my Enya fase and I liked all kinds of modernized folk music. But somehow I don't dig them. I can understand they are good, but not for me. Too bad.
Thundercat
3/5
Cool record. Not sure if I'd have bought one, but cool nonetheless.
Jethro Tull
3/5
Cool, went to see them live, don´t remember a single song. Still, cool.
B.B. King
4/5
Fantastic album! Then again, I like jazz and I was probably due a dosis. Great timing!
The Rolling Stones
3/5
Cool, great to find Route 66, but in general not my favorite Stones record.
PJ Harvey
3/5
Cool. Somehow reminds me of Bjork, which is good.
Bob Dylan
3/5
Cool record, but definitely not for me.
The Mamas & The Papas
4/5
Excellent album!
James Taylor
3/5
Cool but, sorry James Taylor, just a 3.
3/5
Cool, but nor for me.
Lynyrd Skynyrd
3/5
Better than expected. I actually dig it.
Nick Drake
3/5
One of those cool but not for me albums.
Bobby Womack
3/5
Like it as background music.
Garbage
4/5
A fantastic album. Reminds me of my university years. Queer, Only happy when it rains and Stupid girl, always bring smiles to my face.
Pixies
2/5
A long time ago I used to love noisy music. Not anymore.
Air
3/5
Quite good. Not sure I'd buy the record (not today) but I liked what I listened to.
The Triffids
4/5
Ok, this record was surprisingly good. I was not expecting this. How come I didn't knew The Triffids before?
Songhoy Blues
3/5
I'm sure it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I actually liked this record. A lot. This band reminds me somehow of Uchpa, a Peruvian blues band who plays in quechua, the local language.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
Cool, with one very nice song that I knew already (Heads will roll), but just OK to me.
Judas Priest
3/5
I do like it, but it reaches me too late. When I was an Iron Maiden fan, I´d have loved it. For now, I just like it.
Sepultura
3/5
Quite cool, I can see it, but not for me.
Kraftwerk
4/5
Actually quite mesmerizing.
