4/5

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

It's a good album, but not really my style of music. Can see why people like it, though.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

Good jazz album. Started a bit too abstract, but I quite liked it.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

Good album, but everything sounds a bit the same

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

5/5

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

The Clash is better than I thought.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Very good jazz. A bit more fast paced than the stuff I usually like, but very good nonetheless.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Good blues, but nothing that special?

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

Good prog rock album. Not something I'd listen to every day, but has its place.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Amazing album. Such chill, but powerful music.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Meh, quite boring. Can be fun in the right mood, but overrated.

Talvin Singh

3/5

A surprisingly unique album! Very interesting mix of Indian music with electronic. Not exactly my kind, but can see how it's considered a good album for the originality.

One World

John Martyn

4/5

Very chill, bit of psychedelic album. Quite enjoyed it, and listened to it at work. If listening to at home, would probably like it even more. Probably worth a re-listen to later.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

2/5

Indie chill, but I don't see why it's in the list.

Virgin Suicides

Air

3/5

Another cool psychedelic album. I don't even remember half of these songs in the movie, though.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Fun funky album.

En-Tact

The Shamen

3/5

Fun 90s electronic album. A bit outdate, but can definitely see why it was popular back then.

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

3/5

Another retro psychodelic good album, but nothing special.

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

2/5

Interesting indie punk album. But not really my vibe.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

4/5

Great funky jazz album. The song that gives name to the album is such a great classic.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

2/5

Just sounds like a very generic 80s pop album? It changes a bit the genre throughout the album, but still nothing special.

Faust IV

Faust

3/5

Krautrock. Another psychedelic voyage. Like some moments where it breaks the musicality.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

Classic afro jazz album. I was expecting more, but not bad. Felt a bit repetitive.

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

He was better with the beatles...

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Good funky 80s music. Prince is good.

Kala

M.I.A.

4/5

Extremely unique album. A mix of so many different styles. Something a bit electronic vibes, but oldsh style, some part almost a bit folkish , a lot of influence from pop, a lot of rap.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

Good slow paced, but deep jazz. The types that would play in a fancy NY rooftop in a movie. Probably a bit too busy to have just as background music, but great if you want to actually pay attention to it.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

3/5

Just Bowie

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Such an amazing album from Black Sabbath. Makes me want to go back and start a band again.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Such a funky album! Liked it much better on the second listen than the first.

War

3/5

Liked more than I thought I would, given it's U2. Sunday Bloody Sunday continues to be a great song.

Foo Fighters

3/5

Apparently not really my thing? Felt like a totally forgettable album.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

One of the best of the 80s, which is definitely not my favourite decade. Feel like I should give it a 4, but still felt like giving a 3 for some reason. Great classic songs, and even the more unknown ones do not disappoint.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

3/5

Chill good psychedelic album. Should probably listen to it more.

Led Zeppelin

5/5

When the worst song in your album is Black Mountain Side you know it meant something.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Just a stellar album. Such a shame we lost her so early!

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

4/5

As much as he is an asshole, one can't deny that this is a great album

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Really reminds me of Janes Joplin, but a bit more pop style.

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

3/5

Not a bad album, but just felt like quite generic blues? I imagine it was probably perceived as a bit more groundbreaking when it first came out.

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

I liked it way more than expected, given that I'm not someone who listens to REM very often. They definitely have their style.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Definitely a side of the stones that I didn't know! Way more "country" than I expected!

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Think I expected more from an Elton John album? Not bad, but I usually like him more than I liked that album

Elvis Presley

3/5

It's fun how much early rock and roll was very country like. But I liked it more than I expected, as I'm usually not that much of a fan of 50s music!

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

2/5

Not bad, but not really my thing? I'd probably listen to most type of jazz before really enjoying this album.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Surprisingly cool little rock band. Nothing that special, but was a fun listen and something new to discover.

Pyromania

Def Leppard

2/5

Like Whitesnake, but a bit more glam and worse.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Even though her music is quite "basic", it's ridiculous how good to listen to it is. 15 years listening to this stuff and it doesn't get any worse.

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

Sublime as always

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

The day I discovered that Capital Inicial's song is actually a cover from Iggy Pop! Good album, but very different style of songs throughout it? Almost doesn't feel cohesive, despite them individually being good!

Among The Living

Anthrax

1/5

It's almost comical how bad some of these heavy metal bands are.

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

2/5

Meh american rock country

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

Not my favourite Radiohead album, but definitely a good one! It's interesting that it sounds a bit more raw than usual, like if it was their first album, rather than one of the more recent ones. Also gives me quite a bit of Muse vibes (although the influence certainly is in the other direction, haha)

Sheet Music

10cc

4/5

A surprisingly good album!! Had never heard about the band before, but way better than your average 70s rock band!

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

3/5

Third

Portishead

2/5

Definitely did not expect the opening of the album in portuguese! Cool vibes, but a bit too abstract for my taste. Wouldn't listen to this often, but can definitely appreciate that it's good!

1989

Taylor Swift

2/5

There are some good songs here and there, but the majority is just sufferable. Very generic pop. The good songs save it from being 1*.

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

2/5

Like a even more chill bee gees

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

Not as good as Meteora, but a great combination of rap and rock!

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

2/5

Not as good as "Green", but still a decent listen.

Sincere

Mj Cole

2/5

Maybe electronic music was way more basic in the 2000s? But seem a very whatever album.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

4/5

So groovy! Much better than I expected. Had already heard of her before, but never stopped to actually listen to it.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

3/5

A 3 that is almost a 4! I usually don't like that style of music that much. Can get boring pretty easily, but he did in a masterclass way! Made me really enjoy a type of music that is usually not my taste!

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Less Reggae-y than I expected, and better than I was thought it was going to be!

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

4/5

Such a dreamy album! Deserves to be listened to under acid or shrooms!

Cypress Hill

2/5

A bit underwhelming. Very similar sounding from the beginning to the end. Little variance in flow.

Ramones

3/5

The popularization of punk

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Definitely an experience
