Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Incredible album. Stories with strong summer of love themes. Favorites: - Little Wing - If 6 Was 9 - You Got Me Floatin’ - One Rainy Wish - Bold as Love

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Not my favorite sound, but some iconic songs.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

3/5

Obviously an iconic album. So many incredible songs in one spot. But after the doc, I can’t help but feel like it’s all a creepy lie. Shame :/ Also it’s not his fault but a lot of these got overplayed so they aren’t as exciting.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Incredibly unique, amazing storytelling. I can’t believe I haven’t listened in full before. Truly one of the best albums of all time.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

Lots of jazz. And I love jazz. But this jazz is a little stressful!

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Good album! A lot of stuff sounded like the same song but it was groovy.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

2/5

Definitely had some spunk to it, but not something that I'm going to be listening to on the regular.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

I'm really loving this album. Realizing that Be Thankful For What You've Got is the original is huge. It's referenced so much. Great song! Groovy album - added a few to my Cookin' in the evening playlist.

Slayed?

Slade

3/5

Good album! I was jamming out to it at work and I enjoyed it.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

3/5

Didn’t listen all the way through, it just wasn’t my style. Some good story telling though.

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

1/5

Racist ass first song. Not going to give this man any attention.

Violator

Depeche Mode

2/5

Not my style

5/5

Perfect album. I will be listening again and again!

4/5

Great album. Puts you in a whole other musical world.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Amazing album! Stevie wonder is that guy

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

I liked it! Big fan of the Kinks and their sound

Bert Jansch

3/5

I liked it! A little slow for me but his guitar picking is fun to listen to and it’s really calming.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

Cute! Didnt know they sang so many classics

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

Incredible album! So many hits and the acoustics at the end are so unique to their originals.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

2/5

Space and ocean sounds?

1989

Taylor Swift

3/5

I get why she’s super popular, but her stuff isn’t for me. Some is cringe. Some is good that’s all I can say.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

I liked it! Not sure how much I would listen to it on my own, but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

4/5

Good! So Dad rock, but a classic album for sure.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

4/5

Pretty good album! Not my fav, but a good vibe.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Incredible album wow!!!!!!!! I can't believe this is my first time listening to this. Maybe better than Dreams even? And has a song with my name in it? Perfection!

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

Good album! A good lesson to keep listening until the last song because I think that was my favorite

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

5/5

Incredible album! One of my favorites so far. So dynamic and a lovely listening experience.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

I guess I’m a Zeppelin fan. I really enjoyed this album. I see why they are in the classics hall of fame.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

I'm incredibly obsessed with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! This album is incredible in it's very own way. A little different than Blitz! and so great

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

I really liked The Big Country. Such a funny song. I should probably relisten to the whole thing, but it felt very repetitive in terms of their sound. It’s iconic, but I feel like my favorite albums have more dynamic landscapes.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Really really love this album. Truly one of the greats! Rip Bowie

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

3/5

I don't think I really care for R+B

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

3/5

Loved the experimental synths, but not going to listen to a 22 min song. Super interesting though and I can see how other artists got inspiration from this album.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Pretty wonderful album wow. Cant believe this came out in 1993. The beats are incredible, the lyricism is next level.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

Sweet, deep, love songs. Loved this.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

This album came out two months after I was born. So ahead of its time full of mantric songs from the matrix like It Doesn’t Matter and Where Do I Begin. It had me fast walking on the way to work. I feel like I was able to be more open minded about them too because I’ve seen them live and I know how genius they are. Where electronic meets rock meets alternative. It’s giving you everything all at once.

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

3/5

This is actually a lot more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. Christina Aguilera lived in my head as a semi-annoying pop icon. But these lyrics go deep. She talks about sexuality, being a woman, giving love to her fans. And the production quality is good. She definitely has insane vocal range.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Blood, Sweat & Tears

3/5

Good vibe. Not something I would listen to all the time. But I added a couple of songs to my cooking in the evening playlist.

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

3/5

Beautiful, fun, I wish I knew what he was saying :/

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

2/5

I like rap even but this wasn’t for me.

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Solid, but really the best song on there is take me out and everyone knows it.

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

4/5

“I think the heart remains a child. Why don’t you love me?” Homegirl went through the worst breakup of her life and said, “take me to the studio. I have some things I need to get off my chest.” I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Very real, genuine emotions and things we’ve all been through. “Do you like being single, do you want me back? Do I like being single? Am I coming back?”

Diamond Life

Sade

5/5

Diamon Life is incredible. I only knew Smooth Operator going into this, but after listening to the whole album, wow! Every single song is a hit! No one’s doing it like Sade.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Love is a losing game, tears dry on their own, and addicted were all new to me. How had I not listened to this whole album before? Amy, we didn’t deserve you. But we are so grateful you left us with your profound music.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

5/5

Incredible album with no skips. Each song is distinct yet cohesive. No one is quite as cool as the White Stripes

Street Life

The Crusaders

4/5

Great easy morning listening

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

Incredible vibe
