big bass lines, quirky lyrics surprised they didn’t get more air play in the early 80’s Very taking heads in the rythms British band didn’t make it here, sadly! Listened to it three times thru
Portishead
2/5
Dark slow lyrically not my cup of tea currently, struggled to get through it

2/5
Had listened to it when it came out, triggered a bunch of unwanted relationship memories
The Who
2/5
Never heard one of the songs on the album, probably for good reason.
Motörhead

Bert Jansch
2/5
Folk singer not my bag
Roxy Music
2/5
1972 effort didn’t stack up with all the greats in IMO of the decade
Beck
3/5
Beck was a head of his time, album holds up 20 yrs later. He drips steez
The Modern Lovers
5/5
I had to listen to it twice through to find its magnificent, Jonathan Richman sounds like a character. VU>modern Lovers > sex pistols influence …Loved it listened to a few other JR with ML albums
3/5
80-82 Set the tone for Brit Pop or that 80’s sound, fun listen!
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5

4/5
3-4 classics in this effort, loved the last track. thanks JT!

Run-D.M.C.
2/5
Aerosmith collab, it’s tricky we’re hughlights. seemed not much substance in lyrics, maybe a rushed effort studio execs
The Doors
4/5
Break on thru, light my fire, back door man, this is the end …Rock n Roll at its finest. Not my cup of tea anymore but a nostalgic listen no doubt!
Quicksilver Messenger Service
1/5
70’s classic rock that was one note, did NOT turn on my love light …
Janis Joplin
3/5

on the 45 45 …fun nostalgic listen late 90’s sound
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
2/5
with eric clapton….hmmm, first time listening and blues is just not my cup of tea. Pretty one note, listened to it twice through bc I couldnt find my phone
Giant Sand
1/5
Did not relate to the advertised eccentric lyrics. i did hear the sparse quality that tucson dessert mimics. Won’t remember tmrw, sorry.
Parliament
3/5
Two classics - Pfunk - Doobie Funk
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
3/5
Jerry Lee Lewis
2/5
Elvis left for RCA and Old Sun records in memphis picked up JLL. Until he married his 13 yr old cousin, he switched genres to country later on but supposedly he lived in the wilderness for a few yrs and then recorded this album. Full of energy and his hits …1965 22 min album or live show, ha
The Notorious B.I.G.
2/5
Hadn’t listened to it ever, P diddy on the tracks made me cringe, gangsta lyrics…Juicy was the only banger on effort
Ananda Shankar
2/5
Baller Sitar musician plays others covers.
MC Solaar
3/5
French is so sexy in rap songs, whole album was lyrical and flowed so well!
Talvin Singh
2/5
Indian music heavy on sitar meets EDM …Mercury award winner from Britain for this effort. Enjoyable listen
Buffalo Springfield
2/5
Mr Soul is classical rock and roll but rest of effort was more Folk rock which i found one note . Short lived band that helped develop the upcoming decades sound
Madonna
1/5
It was so forced although I wasn’t in the gay clubs then so It might of been banging but I couldn’t help but cringe for her shot at staying relevant…
R.E.M.
2/5
The Chemical Brothers
2/5
late 90’s electronic. Nice listen not my bag.
The Afghan Whigs
2/5
90’s rock n roll just sounds meh to me thus this album fall short to my ears
The Pretty Things
2/5
British Classic Rock …had some members of the Stones….considered harder than main stream. Influenced Pete Townsend. Mid to late 60’s …really nothing popped for me
Van Morrison
3/5
wonderful album, and it stoned me to open it up, magnificent recording!
Ms. Dynamite
3/5
New to my ears, never heard of her …across the pond and never had another album …loved it, super energetic effort!
David Bowie
2/5
Last track held my attention, hero’s was the only FM hit …1977 wonder if the studios were pressing him to make album after album.
The Velvet Underground
3/5
Album before Loaded, loved it, you could tell they were ahead of their time. Each ear had different vocals from Lou and one other male spitting verse …songs were folky compared to the electric hit laden Loaded. It made me go back and listen to their first album and then 72’s effort. Terrific addition for my ears!
Fun Lovin' Criminals
1/5
The 90’s were so weird.. song about John Gotti. Repeated non sense in each song.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Natty dread talking blues no woman no cry am a do …hit after hit!
Beach House
3/5
Had listened to it prior. Dark and dreamy whichnInthiught was interesting when it came out. Nice spin again
Jazmine Sullivan
3/5
Girl Power Rap - Nice perspective from a female rapper. Laughed out load a few times, great effort!
Ute Lemper
1/5
Wow! What a stacked lineup on each track. Sounded Operatic. Was curious to hear each track and then thought i won’t remember them at all
The Yardbirds
2/5
Had no clue Clapton > Page > Beck as guitarists. Nothing jumped out, rooted in blues!
Brian Eno
2/5
4 songs - 40min - just like the title says Ambient AF!
Michael Jackson
5/5
79’ debut set the tone for the next decade with dance music hit after hit …MJ Forever. 3 Years later Thriller breaks all the records
King Crimson
2/5
Thought one of the last out takes was the best cut. Not my bag , super avant gard or experimental to my ears
The Jam
3/5
80’s soft punk, never heard and was glad to listen !
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
I researched NC career and he’s a prolific album creator but not for my ears. The operaesque flow isn’t kind to my ears
Dirty Projectors
2/5
James Brown
3/5
Early JB …had the teen girls howling every grunt and moan he sang. Early on, first band JB and the Famous Flames had him move to the front of the bands namesake.
Yes
3/5
All good people is a classic…hadn’t listened to them as Prog Rock kings but now hear all the intricate breaks and movements! Great debut effort
Cypress Hill
2/5
High school era, hits from the bong …could of waited another 30 yrs to revisit this effort
Billie Holiday
3/5
Super BLUE. You can hear her troubled life in each note. Genre defining artist!
Thundercat
3/5
Thundercat played Bass w Mac Miller a ton so familiar w him. Knew of album but never listened to it fully. Great effort for someone who’s known to say it never thought of putting out albums
Emmylou Harris
3/5
Dave matthew’s appears My antonia …her voice is golden, the slower tempo and country esque lyrics didn’t move my needle.
Sade
3/5
After smooth operator opening I found new tracksto my ears. I heard why she had staying power. Will remember to play next time I’m making out :)
Earth, Wind & Fire
3/5
Exceptional musicians create a HUGE sound! Makes me wanna dig more into …
Violent Femmes
3/5
Blistering the sun as well as a few others had this album overplayed in my lifetime. Great to revisit it one more time !
Van Morrison
4/5
Never knew of it. Super bluesy on the numbers that weren’t hits. It’ll be played often :)
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
