Fairly good album. No favorite-able songs, but I didn’t skip any. Was kinda funky which I liked. Favorite song: Born Under Punches (the heat goes on)

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

Meh. There were parts I liked and parts I didn’t. Very soundtrack like. Space/intergalactic feel. Favorite song: Staralfur

3/5

This one was alright. I’m not much of a beach boys person, but I’ve heard of this album before. Favorite song: Wouldn’t it be nice

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

4/5

I liked this album. Very techno and a little odd. I don’t know why I liked this one, but I did. Favorite song: The Man Machine

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

It was good. It was kinda straight down the line for me. Not bad, not amazing. Favorite song: cloud nine

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Pretty good album. It was a nice soulful album full of good music to listen to. Favorite song: So you’re leaving

Blur

PJ Harvey

1/5

No, just no

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

2/5

Meh. I don’t see the hype in this guy

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

This one was okay. Kinda odd, but okay. This doesn’t really sound like a 90’s album to me. Favorite song: when you sleep

The Specials

4/5

I liked this one. Ska all the way. Favorite song: a message to Rudy

The Doors

4/5

This album is one that I liked surprisingly. I didn’t have high hopes going into it, but it was pretty good. Favorite song: Light My Fire

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor

Lupe Fiasco

4/5

Great album. Songs with good beats and they tell a story. Good album with social commentary. Favorite song: Daydreamin’ or The Cool

Night Life

Ray Price

4/5

This was a good one. Nice old country album with a good feel. Favorite song: there’s no fool like a young fool

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Not bad. Not for me though. The songs just sounded all the same to me. Favorite song: Heads Will Roll

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

It was okay. Super long though, but good beats. Odd lyrics

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

This was a really good album. I really liked all the songs. Typical Green Day music, but very good. Favorite song: Burnout

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

2/5

This was a bit too weird for me. Not music I very much like to listen too. What was going on with The Rough and the Quick?!?!

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

This was a really good album. Really nice old school jazz album that I vibed with. Plus, jimmy smith is from Norristown, PA which is even cooler!

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

This was alright. I like some of REM’s songs and I liked some of these, but not a lot of them.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

This one was better than her last one but still not good

Boston

4/5

Very good rock album. I can’t believe this was their first album (and their best).

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Very good. Great jazz album that wasn’t too long, but had great music.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

4/5

I was pleasantly surprised by this. It was a good funky album that I enjoyed listening to. The name was super off putting and I thought it was just gonna be weird.

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

2/5

Not great. Thought it was listening to the same song the whole time. They love using the same drum beat too. Techno nightmare.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

This wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be and I even recognized a song or 2. Lot of like pop synth sounding music. Not awful.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

Nice bluesy album. B.B. King was such a great blues artist. I liked this one even though I don’t listen to blues that much.

The United States Of America

2/5

This was interesting. Some songs were really odd and some weren’t too bad. Not for me. Weird 60s early rock songs.

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

Great rock album. Didn’t know I’d like the clash that much

Copper Blue

Sugar

5/5

I loved this album. Great rock music from the 90s from a band I’ve never heard of. Alt rock at it’s peak

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Good jazzy/funky album. I thought it would be different than it was, but I’ve never really listened to Steely Dan much. This was good though.

Feast of Wire

Calexico

2/5

This was okay. Better than I expected but I didn’t love it.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

2/5

No, just no. Too weird

Joan Armatrading

3/5

I liked this better than I thought I would. I didn’t know what to expect. Like a folk/blues/soft rock type of feel.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

4/5

This was a little different but I liked it. Kinda rock and techno kinda weird thing

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

I don’t usually like Kendrick Lamar songs. They’re just not my style, but I kind of liked this album. It just had a different feel than his other music I’ve listened to

The Bends

Radiohead

2/5

Radiohead isn’t my favorite, but the album wasn’t awful. Just not for me.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

2/5

Soundtrack for some weirdo 90s techno show

Kid A

Radiohead

2/5

Not a big Radiohead guy. This album was weird and a lot of the songs reminded me of music boxes when they started and then just faded into weird noises by the end.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

I’ve never listened to Pink Floyd very much at all, but I really liked this album. Pretty good.

Eternally Yours

The Saints

3/5

Pretty good punk rock album. Would listen to again.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

2/5

It was meh, I’m not a big fan of Van Morrison.

Liquid Swords

GZA

3/5

Not bad, I kinda liked it. 90s rap all the way. Reminds me of MF Doom a bit especially with the use of clips from cartoons/movies

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Amazing. Billy Joel at his best

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

This was pretty good. I already knew one song off of this album and I was surprised to hear other ones that I liked. Wasn’t expecting the different sounding music.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

This was okay. I usually like the white stripes and Jack White, but this was okay

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

3/5

Not bad. Songs were enjoyable

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

Pretty good, I liked this. I’ve heard a couple of their songs before but this was good
