Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

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

The 13th Floor Elevators

2/5

It got old fast. It's protopunk I guess but the recording style kills it for me.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

So many hits, but it was one of the songs I'd maybe only heard a couple times that got me. Let Me Put My Love Into You, Babe was vocally different and stood out in the listen.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

I own this album. I've actually owned every album so far. Exodus is not as good to me as Catch a fire or Natty Dread, but it has many bangers and good heart.

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Good album. Bowie style but in the style of the moment, 1976, too. Recognizable jam and some extended cuts. Not my favorite Bowie.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

5/5

Awesome album. Not something I thought would be my type of music but the first song absolutely enraptured me and then it went from there. Really glad I got introduced to Stereolab

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

Whoa. This is good for what it is. Drums are hardcore and the brass is a huge part of it. The vocals are simple but really emotional. This is what the Micronesian dudes wanted me to play when they came on the Sea Spider to offload our frozen albacore

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Classic. Jim Morrison's vocals are a part of Rock Legend. The groove of the band is great tho. The way the guitar speaks in little phrases. The driving rhythm of the drums. Bluesy and rocky. Kinda dirty and raw. Good record.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

4/5

Really sounds "old" but also has some songs I'm familiar with. I like the songs Matilda Mother and Interstellar Overdrive

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

5/5

Intense ethereal afropop magic

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Listened to some of it. It was actually good. The band and the song lyrics were tight. I'm not a Cyndi Lauper fan, like her voice isn't my thing, but this was an ok album.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

3/5

Good enough to listen to but not really what I like.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

This album jams for me. Used to play it on my radio show. This is a five-star banger because of two songs: Suite Judy Blue Eyes and Wooden Ships.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

A classic and one of my first cool (not gangsta) rap albums.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Good album. Reminded me of other REM albums I've listened to. Sometimes haunting lyrics, good musicianship, ahead of it's time or maybe in a time of it's own.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

4/5

This rocks. Like rock punk, great drums, goddamn the drums are HARD.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

5/5

I love this album

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

2/5

It got old fast. It's protopunk I guess but the recording style kills it for me.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

Woodface

Crowded House

2/5

Meh. Really didn't like it. Sounded like the Smithereens or some other discount box late 80s indypop.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

Stand is an all-time favorite. Orange Crush feels so early 90s but also timeless. Good album.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

5/5

Awesome album. Really raw and unique.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

5/5

I Shall Be Released is such a powerful song to me. I liked how this extended album had an Acapella version among the extra tracks.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

5/5

This whole album has such a total flow and feel to it. It's interesting and meditative and sometimes it freakin slaps.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Really great album.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Own it. It meant a lot more to me in the 90s, but this is a strong collection of songs. I mean, I can still sing along with most of the tracks on Dookie.

I think this is one of the best albums I've ever listened to.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

McCartney

Paul McCartney

5/5

It's really stripped down and feels interconnected. This album definitely has a place on McCartney's artistic spectrum.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

4/5

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

Lots of hits and raw delivery. Really complete album. I Feel the Earth Move was the song they'd play at the earthquake exhibit at OMSI, so this album has been in my mind since I was really young.

Gorillaz

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

This is arguably the best album by a landmark band. The musicianship, the songwriting, and the production all are top notch. I'm not a metalhead by any means, but this album hits for me.
