Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

I liked this album a lot. Definitely in the indie rock genre of today to me but more in the 'classic rock' category just by being released in 1971. Bang a Gong (Get It On) was the only song I recognized but I did enjoy most of the album. It's not one I am likely to reach for often in the future but I'm glad I listened to all of it.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

Boston

3/5

Metallica

4/5

I owned this album back in the day and listened regularly. It truly rocks from start to finish and is by far my favorite Metallica album. That being said, Metallica is not my favorite band and not one I reach for regularly.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

4/5

I had this album back in the day too. It was pretty revolutionary and poised Eminem as one of the top rappers of his time. Highly recommend for any Eminem fans. It's not one I'd reach for regularly today.

Horses

Patti Smith

2/5

Not really my cup of tea. Certainly an interesting album and glad I heard it but probably won't listen again.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

Not really my style overall.

Risque

CHIC

3/5

It's amazing to hear a funky and iconic song like Good Times. But other than that I found the rest of the album pretty one dimensional. I don't think I would listen again.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

Really enjoying this one more than I expected! I'd heard Everyday People before and liked it. I particularly loved Sing a Simple Song, Sex Machine, and I want to Take you higher.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

This is an incredible album. I'd listened to all of this when it came out but it isn't something I typically reach for and it was far overplayed at release in my opinion. Hearing it now, I like it more.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Pretty good! Mostly a little too mellow for me but I really enjoyed the songs Marrakesh Express and Long Time Gone. Not an album I'd choose often but loved those two songs!

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Pretty fantastic album but just not really my style or something I'd want to listen to often.

Stankonia

OutKast

5/5

What a great album. I LOVED Bombs Over Baghdad and So Fresh and so Clean back in the day. But I don't think I'd ever listened to the whole album. Also loved Humble Mumble with Erika Badu. I am very likely to re-listen to this.

Ramones

3/5

The Romones are great and I'd heard a few tracks from this album but hadn't listened to the whole thing before. Good stuff. Not something I'd reach for often.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Great bluesy rock album. My Mom definitely had their albums growing up. I actually thought I'd like it more than I did. I LOVE the song Layla.

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

Holy Cow! I LOVE this album so much. This is perfect for chill listening during my workday. I added most of the album to a playlist I have for this and it may become a go-to album for me. I'm going to have to explore more of their music!

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

2/5

I'm really glad I listened to this but this just isn't my cup of tea. Very talented musician and interesting music. Just not something I want to listen to often

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

What a great album! I've heard at least 3 of these songs a lot. Cecelia, She's Got Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes, and You Can Call me Al. These songs are really fun and refreshing. I added a few to one of my main playlists

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

2/5

Pretty good. I definitely prefer the Beatles over this. Not sure I'd listen to this album again.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

5/5

Wow. I LOVE this album. I wish I'd known about it earlier. Perfect classy and chill music. I will definitely have this on hand more often.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

This is a really interesting album! I don't know that I've ever heard anything like this and can totally understand why this has been considered such an important album in terms of progressive rock. I'm not sure I would want to listen to this all the time, but I really enjoyed the lesson and would recommend it to others.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

2/5

I used to be into punk when I was in high school for a spell but it's not something I would reach for off in these days. Very cool album though! And glad I have listened to it.

Violent Femmes

3/5

Glad to hear this album all the way through. It's really something. I had heard plenty of songs from this but had never played it all the way through.

Nanci Griffith

5/5

I'm pretty new to country and folk music and WOW. What an amazing album. I'll definitely be adding Nanci Griffith to the rotation moving forward!

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

I was very into this genre in the mid 90s and never got around to listening to Sepultura. Wow. Great friggin album. Adding many songs to my 'heavy' playlist. Not something I'd listen to often these days but really high quality album for this genre.

In It For The Money

Pretty great album that I'd never heard before. Indie rock from England

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

2/5

Meh. It's ok. Not really something I'd reach for again.

2/5

I had never heard this! I certainly listened to the crystal method, and the chemical Brothers. This does feel along those lines. Definitely not something I would listen to often and maybe not ever again.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

2/5

I'm really not a fan of this album. I don't think it's bad music, just not my style.

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

3/5

Pretty great to hear Elvis like this but not something I would listen to again.

4/5

What an excellent album! I had never listened to this all the way through, but I'd heard a couple songs from here that I really liked. Definitely will be in rotation.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

Good album. Not something I'd listen to often.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

2/5

Compared to Nas, Tupac, and Biggy, they sound like the sugarhill gang. Glad to hear it but won't listen again.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

I had this album when it came out. Not something I want to listen to often. Pretty incredible album though.

Medúlla

Not a huge fan of Kendrick but glad to listen.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

So good and I'd never listened to this!

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

Not a fan.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

Amazing album. I don't know if I ever listened to it all the way through before!

5/5

I loved this album! And I had never heard of them before. But I will definitely be listening more in the future

Amazing album, just not something I listen to much

1/5

I find this singer's voice intolerable. The music is great. Couldn't finish two songs.
