Ozomatli
5/5
Finally, an album that I’ve never heard of. That’s really great. Lots of different international styles. Mostly Latin, but also some styles from India and Africa.

Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Solid album.
Van Halen
5/5
The first time I heard running with the devil on the radio I was blown away. There was nothing like that at the time.
The Velvet Underground
3/5
Never a big Velvet Underground fan but they were way ahead of their time. I think they were more popular in the 90s than they were in the 60s and 70s. Still, fun music.
Soundgarden
4/5
Solid band. Solid album. RIP Chris Cornell.
AC/DC
4/5
One of the great frontmen for a band. One of AC/DCs best.
Wilco
2/5
Too eclectic. Like they don’t know what they wants to be. Boring for the most part.
Radiohead
3/5
Their best album. Less poppy than their first.
Pretenders
4/5
Fun album.
Radiohead
3/5
I overall like it better than The Bends. But enough Radiohead already!!
Adele
4/5
I’ve never really listened to Adele. I’ve heard some songs but never listen to a lot of her music. I like it. She’s a more polished Janis Joplin. Very soulful.
PJ Harvey
2/5
Dreck. Simple rhythms and guitar riffs and mostly yelling vocals.
Barry Adamson
1/5
Someone’s high school music/film project does not need to be on 1001 albums you need to listen to.
Isaac Hayes
3/5
Good music. Good movie.
Fleetwood Mac
2/5
Not a good Fleetwood Mac album.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Great intro to reggae.
Billy Bragg
2/5
Sounds like a British Bob Dylan. Good songs. Someone else needs to sing them.
Milton Nascimento
3/5
Good sound. Would rate it a little higher if I knew what they were singing about.
Ozomatli
5/5
Finally, an album that I’ve never heard of. That’s really great. Lots of different international styles. Mostly Latin, but also some styles from India and Africa.
Funkadelic
3/5
Didn’t listen now because I didn’t want to pay for it but I’ve heard it before and it is a good album.
Gene Clark
3/5
Sounds like a poor man’s Neil Young. Would rather listen to Neil Young.
Isaac Hayes
4/5
Interesting album. Mostly Isaac Hayes telling stories to soulful music.
The Band
5/5
Great album. The Band has a very distinct sound.
Dr. Dre
3/5
Not a big rap fan but it was fun to listen to. Found out that I do like Snoop Dogg. He had a couple of the best tracks.
The Stooges
3/5
Like the Velvet underground, the Stooges became much more popular later. Good album. The sound is hard to believe it came out of the early 70s
David Crosby
4/5
Music from my youth. Jerry Garcia plays guitar on a song. Gotta love it.
Def Leppard
3/5
Lots of hits. Their most popular album for sure. I think “On through the Night” is better.

3/5
Somebody got a new synthesizer for Christmas.
Stan Getz

Nice mellow music.

3/5
Good pop music. Though a bit “Men suck because I don’t know how to pick ‘em” feel.
American Music Club
2/5
Couldn’t find this album but I did listen to a greatest hits (essentials) album by them. Meh. Nothing special.
The Who
4/5
Raw live album. Takes a couple of the song for them to get going but fun show in the end.
Fatboy Slim
2/5
Dance music. Fun to dance to but boring and repetitive to just listen to.

Classic. First Beatles album without Paul McCartney. He died in a car accident and his cousin, Billy Shears, took over his persona.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
There are better Stones albums.
Heaven 17
3/5
Fun music. Surprised there weren’t any big hits off of the album. Just a regular pop/ dance album though.
The Beta Band

They were looking to create a certain sound and they achieved it. Boring.

The Adverts
3/5
Sounds like late 70s grunge. Lyrics are too repetitive though.

Unique music. Very well written very well performed. I forgot how early the Talking Heads came out. I always think of them as an 80s bands, but they came out in the 70s.
Lou Reed
5/5
Great album. Lou Reed was better after the velvet underground.
Solange
3/5
Not my kind of music but very well written and produced. Good sound. Great interludes!!
Spacemen 3
2/5
Repetitive dreck.

Very medieval. Pleasant music, interesting instruments, and very lyrical. But not very creative.

4/5
Not a big country music fan but this is different. Very personable.
Travis
2/5
Boring. The guy thinks he’s Bono but he’s annoying.

5/5
One of the Stones best. If no the best.

Fun pop music. Both ahead of its time and kind of a throw back.

Just like Bjork. Way better than I think it should be.
