Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

Every song sounds the same. Boring.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Kinda funky jam tunes. Pretty boomer-y but not bad.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

1/5

Pure noise pollution. Obviously influential but not my taste.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

1/5

Nah.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Peak hillbilly/stoner/hippy jams plus a song from the office.

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Iconic. Best in class.

LP1

FKA twigs

3/5

Pretty cool but not something I would ever really listen to again. DKA Twigs starts to sound repetitive after like three songs.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Shuffle blues. Old school

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

2/5

This album is over 2 hours. I didn’t even get through half of it, but I’ve heard better from Otis Redding and way better in Soul

System Of A Down

2/5

“Punk”-type of metal. Started out good but got old fast. I like the instrumentation but hate the vocals.

Bummed

Happy Mondays

3/5

Eh. Beatles + Pink Floyd + 80s. Too long for me at 2 hrs. 2.5/5

Yes.

4/5

Cool but somewhat unremarkable on the first listen.

Garbage

4/5

Was not expecting to like this at all but actually did in the end. Portugal the Man x Gorillas x Radiohead. Nice.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Couple decent songs here and there but overall not my style. 2.5/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

It’s okay I guess if you can channel some inner crusty artsy hippiness and ignore the hideous harmonica every other song. 1.5 good songs on here but I’m pretty much never in the middle for this kind of music.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

5/5

I mean….. cmon.

Fragile

Yes

The Velvet Underground

1/5

Boring and pretentious

2/5

At last it’s only 15 minutes, buts it’s 15 minutes I’ll never get back.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Classic bossa. Getting slightly tired of hearing the same standards on a lot of bossa nova albums, but whatever, I can’t not give this a 5

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

5/5

Super cool. Sounds like a video game sound track.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

I mean objectively this is good, but I’m never really listening to this kind of conscious music.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Lots got a few fun songs

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

3/5

Worth a listen.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Some great songs. Definitely worth the (re)listen, just not really my type of music.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Babe I’m Gonna Leave You and Dazed and Confused are great songs. The rest - eh. I give it 3.5/5 but for its iconic-ness and influence it gets a 4.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

I like this more than I realized before. Really like it, but idk how often I would listen to this tbh. 4.6/5

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Tracy Chapman is clearly a very good artist. Some really good songs on here with strong messages. However, I don’t see myself listening to this pretty much ever.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Meh - not really my thing at all. And the more I hear Kate Bush’s voice the more I find it kinda annoying to be honest. 2.8/3

Goo

Sonic Youth

3/5

Not my thing but at least better than the last Sonic Youth album I listened to (Daydream Nation).

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

It’s okay actually. Definitely a few duds but also a couple cool songs

Opus Dei

Laibach

4/5

Kinda cool

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

It’s pretty good but starts to get boring after a while (2+ hrs long). Low 4

White Denim

3/5

Grateful Dead x Radiohead. Eh

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Incredibly mid. Low 3

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Super mid low 3

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Even if I’m not gonna listen to this a lot, it has to be a 5. The storytelling, production, artistry are all second to none.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Pretty classic bluesy rock, which isn’t really my thing but it’s okay for what it is.

The Stooges

2/5

Lame ass, noisy, dissonant, punky rock. In the midst of that are the weird heroin-den-esque soundtracks. I hate both sounds. To their credit this sounds pretty novel for 1969 and it sounds pretty influential - it just unfluenced a sounds I don’t like at all.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

2/5

Blues. Unremarkable. Only semi-highlight is Riders of the Storm

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

2/5

Forgettable

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Great album with some iconic tracks. Reggae is just not my thing tho…
