Jurassic 5

4/5

Not much to say other than a solid effort on the part of the group. It's definitely worth listening to for those interested in the genre or maybe looking for something different than what they normally listen to.

My Generation

The Who

4/5

Definitely an album of its time. To my ears, this sounded almost like a live set. It's a very well done album and for sure worth listening to.

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Joan has a very strong voice. She's very soulful and expressive in a way that a lot of musicians can't match. I'm not sure I like her voice with the type of music she sings. I give her four stars for her vocals but three stars for the music she's singing to.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

5/5

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

I've listened to this album quite a lot over the last 3 decades since I was introduced to Simon and Garfunkel. This album still sounds as good today as it did when I first "discovered" it.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

I liked the writing, the musicianship, and the meaning behind the songs. But, I didn't like his voice. His tone and enunciation were not good for me. Songs like Road and Which Will are great, as was Parasite. But the vocals made it hard for me to listen to.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

I've never really been a fan of The Go-Go's and their brand of rock music. But, they were a solid group nonetheless. I appreciate the musicianship and the passion coming through their music but it's just not for me.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Live At Leeds

The Who

5/5

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

One of the songs that exemplifies the idea that music is a reflection of the times in which that music is made.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

3/5

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

5/5

I bought this album way back when it first came out. It's one of the best R&B albums of the 90s. I highly recommend anyone who loves R&B or is curious about the genre to listen to this album.

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

3/5

The vocals weren't great. And generally the group sounded like a college garage band.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Great album. Bob Marley and The Wailers were legends and the messages they spread through their music are fantastic and still relevant today.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

I can see how this would appeal to some of the rock fans of the 60s. But, not all music holds up well over time and this didn't do it for me.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Still not a Neil Young fan. This didn't do anything to change my mind.

American Pie

Don McLean

5/5

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

3/5

As someone born in 1972, it might be a shock to some that I've never been a fan of 80s pop music. And, most of it hasn't held up well over time. I didn't like Culture Club when they hit in the 80s and I still don't. However, I have to give a tip of the hat to Boy George as he did deliver solid vocals for the group and often times his tone reminded me a little of George Michael.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

5/5

Great album.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

5/5

genius. highly recommend you listen.

Pyromania

Def Leppard

3/5

Still not a Def Leppard fan. They can surely rock but they aren't for me.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

2/5

The most positive thing about this album is it's short and it's a quick listen. I'm not a fan of the Punk genre though there are some notably good bands to come from that genre. This isn't one of those bands in my opinion.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Still not a Neil Young fan. But, this was one of the better efforts from him. My My, Hey Hey and Sail Away were both particularly good songs to my ears.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

2/5

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

A decent R&B album. The vocals were solid. The lyrics were traditional R&B, nothing truly unique. Overall, a four star effort from Frank Ocean.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

5/5

I'm not a Sinatra fan but he performs very well on this album. His vocals are very solid and the music is outstanding. Overall, this is an album very much worth listening to.

Lost Souls

Doves

3/5

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

5/5

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

I didn't like the vocals at all. The sound didn't have much depth. However, listening to the album, I'm wondering if this group would be better live. I've been to a couple of shows where the bands were actually better live than their recorded albums.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

1/5

Tom Petty is not a good singer. I'm not sure if it's the tone of his voice or the type of music he produces but his voice just isn't good to my ears.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

You can't go wrong with Stevie Wonder. His unique vocals and heartfelt performances are fantastic.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

2/5

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

4/5

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

3/5

Not a fan of Iron Butterfly, mostly because of the vocals are not my preference, but the musicianship is solid and the album is worth a listen if you're looking for something interesting and different.

Homework

Daft Punk

4/5

As as Chicago native and a kid who danced to house music in high school, some of Daft Punk's music really resonates. While house music is my preferred version of electronica or EDM (electronic dance music), I give a tip of the hat to Daft Punk for creating some very interesting music.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

3/5

I don't like country music. Not even a little bit. However, there are some country singers who stand out for their vocals and Jennings is one of those. I don't like the music he's singing to but I can listen to Jennings' because of his voice.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

2/5

Like A Prayer

Madonna

1/5

Never been a Madonna fan. Her voice is not good to my ears.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

1/5

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

2/5

Vocals are not great. A couple of the songs are decent but overall, not something I'd want to listen to.

I Against I

Bad Brains

1/5

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Still not a Neil Young fan but I quite like this album. I'm not sure why.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

5/5

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

This is a fantastic palate cleanser. When you need something a little different than what you normally listen to, this fits the bill. This is also great background music while you work, cook or whatever. Highly recommend.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

I bought this album back in college in the 90s. I absolutely love this album. These two are fantastic together.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

I was surprised I liked this band. I like the lead vocals and the high energy music. Everything about the music on the album seemed to work for me. I'm just very surprised.

Closer

Joy Division

1/5

White Ladder

David Gray

3/5

Sulk

The Associates

3/5

Heavy David Bowie influence in the music. Seems more like a Bowie cover band than anything original. Solid musicianship and the vocals were decent.

War

U2

2/5

Never been a U2 fan. I can count on a hand the number of songs of theirs I like. Figured I'd give this album a try and it's not bad. Just not my cup of tea.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Not my kind of music at all. But, I kind of like the lead vocals so I'm being generous with the stars. Not sure why I like the vocals, but I do.

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

3/5

This isn't the worst 80s era album I've ever heard but it's hard to listen to the cheesy synth and breathy vocals.

Van Halen

4/5

I can say that I'm not a Van Halen fan but a few of the songs on this album have completely permeated American society over the decades whether being played in commercials or in stadiums. I've never formally listened to the album before, but I've heard every song on the album at some point. Which is weird for me but I'm sure not surprising to a lot of Van Halen fans.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

One of the better country singers with some very recognizable tunes. Still not a fan of the genre but he was a decent singer.

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

Weak vocals. Nothing special about the musicianship. Overall, just average.

The United States Of America

2/5

This was hard to listen to but there are some interesting aspects to the music. It was disjointed and not very coherent to my mind. Overall, can't recommend.

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

3/5

Definitely a band of their era. I liked this album even though it's not unique or stands out particularly well, the vocals were better than decent and overall the sound is good. Give it a try.

The Stone Roses

3/5

This isn't a stand out band by any stretch but I do give them credit for being solid. I wouldn't necessarily sit and listen to the entire album again, but individual songs wouldn't be bad to hear again.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

Stephen Stills

5/5

Parklife

Blur

2/5

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

Wouldn't necessarily listen to this again but it was a decent album. Vocals aren't great but the band puts out a gritty sound that has an authenticity to it. Overall, not bad.

So

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Given how much I don't like a lot of the music of that era, Peter Gabriel is an exception. I'm not sure why, whether it's his voice or his creativity, I tend to like him and have listened to his music in the past.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

1/5

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

3/5

2/5

4/5

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

This album has the feel of something like David Bowie meets big band/swing. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it but it was entertaining to listen to. Not sure I'd listen to it again.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Couldn't listen past the fifth song. Very hard listen. Can't recommend unless you're really into avant garde jazz. This type of jazz often sounds like slightly organized noise.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5
