5/5

Classic blues.

All Ratings

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

I already knew I loved this.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

Idk Radiohead can do no wrong in my eyes. Why didn’t someone make me listen to them in high school? People always talk about Ok Computer but this album is awesome too.

Synchronicity

The Police

2/5

Not for me. I understand why it’s included in the list. A lot of talent here, but I’ll never play this for fun.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

There are a couple songs I adore on this album, but other than that it feels pretty mid. Disjointed, even.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

5/5

Evergreen. One of the songs on the album, This Will Be Our Year, I had heard out of context, and I thought it was modern. So melodic. Almost makes me wish I came of age in the late 60s. Almost. ;)

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

I adore this. It means a lot to me that he would give a show to prisoners, and I love hearing him talk like a normal person between songs. I also love the songs. Clever lyrics, good instrumentation. I’m so glad I listened.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

2/5

At first I really hated this and wondered why it was included on the list. Then I started to hate it less. Still, I won’t listen again.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Not for me, but I respect it. The album is comprised of only six songs, but they’re long. Given my relationship to music and how I listen right now (while driving in the car at work), I felt like it dragged. I usually didn’t like the beginnings of songs, but by they hit their grooves at the end I started to vibe with them. I probably won’t listen again.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

I liked this more than I expected! Released in 1990, it sits right between 80s hair bands and, like, Nirvana. I would listen again. I felt like someone who goes to record stores listening to this album.

Spiderland

Slint

2/5

This whole album made me feel ill at ease. That’s kind of the point, but it’s not the reason I listen to music. I think these are talented musicians, but I can’t keep from thinking these boys need therapy.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

Classic. Very of its time in a good way. Super fun to listen to. It does all start to sound the same though.

Rio

Duran Duran

2/5

I respect it but at the same time I could NOT make myself listen to it.

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

There are truly some bangers on this album - Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal. But for me as an album, I think it’s alright.

The Band

3/5

At first, I was like - why is this on the list? But as the album continued, I began to like the songs better. I get the impression it would land better if I knew what they were saying, but I don’t care enough to look up the words.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Yet another album where I respect what they’re doing - lots of cool and weird layered sounds going on - but it doesn’t grab me. Feels very of its time, laying the groundwork for later alternative sounds.

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

3/5

Apparently this guy contributed significantly to the Bakersfield sound, which was kind of anti-establishment, in contrast to the big music label sounds coming out of Nashville at the time … but I thought it was just okay.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

2/5

Some weird gender stuff on the first track (you’ve gotta be stronger than me, “are you gay?” - YIKES), and I didn’t like how it landed on my ear. I prefer the Back to Black album and didn’t finish this one.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

This album is so vibey! You can’t help but bop your head and sing along from the first track. Would listen again. :)

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

4/5

At last! I thought I was a hater because I have felt so meh about so many of these albums. Although there weren’t any super memorable ear worms, I would love to have this album on almost any time. I enjoyed listening from the first track.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

2/5

I’m just kind of bored listening to this.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Boston

5/5

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

2/5

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

This was a pleasant surprise. I kind of felt like I was in a movie about to go on a journey. I’m not sure I would turn it on to listen without being provoked though.

Berlin

Lou Reed

4/5

I really liked the sound. I guess the album tells a big story, and I’m unclear on how well it holds up.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

Makes me feel cool to listen to them. It all sounds very ominous, but make it 80s. Would listen again!

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Nostalgic. Bangers. I liked the songs that weren’t hits too.
