2/5

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

Do you ever feel like you want to listen to music but nothing fits the bill? This is the answer. A truly enjoyable palate cleanser. 9/10

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

5/5

This was SO MUCH FUN! That boy needs therapy.

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

To whoever said they were taking away a star for the tuba solo, I'm giving it back.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Jesus Walks has always been a track that I've been ashamed to like. I'm now ashamed to like a lo more.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Major nostalgia value on this one, but that only goes so far... I was reminded about Walk of Life and added it to my guilty pleasures playlist. Fun listen, but not great.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

3/5

I enjoyed this a whole lot more than I thought I would

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

1/5

I feel like I should like The Smiths but I really REALLY don't.

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

1/5

I just can't. This was a rough one.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Too short. By lots.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

I cheated listening to this. Put Down by the River on repeat a few times before moving on. As a Canadian I'm pretty sure I'm required to give this at least a 3. But I'm a very good Canadian.

No Other

Gene Clark

4/5

Celebrity Skin

Hole

4/5

I really wasn't sure how this was going to go. I enjoyed it SO MUCH

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

3/5

This was a group I'd never heard of before and I enjoyed this listen. Nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about either.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

This was SO MUCH FUN! I went to see them in concert shortly before Covid shut everything down. I was looking for some nostalgia. The opener - Sum 41 - were very fun. The Offspring was... dull. Turns out all I needed to do was listen to this album.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

2/5

I really wanted to like this. I had to throw my phone at one point because I was trying to do something and this in the background was so annoying and distracting that I just couldn't do both at once.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

Fabulous

Real Life

Magazine

4/5

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Being able to read through Kurt's lyrics while listening to this album is a gamechanger. It's always been my favorite of theirs but now it's a lot more sad.

Boston

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

I love this little bit softer Jimi. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

5/5

I discovered Captain Beefheart 2 summers ago. I read some of the reviews about Trout Mask Replica. I listened to some of Trout Mask Replica. I understood the reviews. Then I got this album with songs I recognized and a few new ones. Thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. *zig zag*

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

I was very interested to learn that Otis wrote Respect and Satisfaction. Before you disagree with me, see above ☝️

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

3/5

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

I really don't like Ozzy's voice. This album, with so many instrumentals, did the trick!

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

My enjoyment of jazz is growing as I get older (elder millennial here). I still don't love the over indulgent wanking that is the typical improvised solo, but that bass solo in Part III 👌👌👌

Le Tigre

2/5

I enjoyed enough not to give it a1l 1, but it was close

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

2/5

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5
