The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles · 1 likes

3/5

Nice background music for a dinner party. Lots of brass and big band vibes. I prefer Ray’s blues-infused music.

Nevermind

Nirvana

2/5

I liked Nirvana when Nevermind first blew up. I like their quieter moments better so prefer Something in the Way and Lithium. I mostly find them almost manic-sounding now and they kinda stress me out. That being said, Nevermind is iconic and inspired a generation of grunge bands. 3/5 for that. 2/5 me wanting to listen to it. 1/5 album cover.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

I know some of their most famous songs but havent listened to too much Public Enemy. I liked it more than I thought I would. 3/5 for me. 0/5 that it’s still so relevant.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

Good album. Even though this was the first ZZ Top album I had heard, I like their older bluesier stuff better. And that TV Dinner song is the worst.

I like Psycho Killer but otherwise not a big fan.

Hotel California

Eagles

5/5

Love this one.

The United States Of America

1/5

I do not like this. It’s giving me a headache.

The Joshua Tree

3/5

Prob the best U2 album. Some classics on there.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

I liked this a lot! He just defines the blues. A few songs felt like they went on a little long (like the Blues Brothers were making their escape or something). Bus Driver made me laugh “my baby left me for a bus driver. He used to give her rides during the day and now she gives him rides at night” haha classic

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

3/5

I really liked some of the songs on this one. His voice sounds so different in every song…I prefer the ones where he sings in a lower register like Cripple Creek or Weighted Down. Things got weird after first 10 songs or so. My rating is for the first half of the songs as originally released.

Skylarking

XTC

1/5

Not a fan.

Tracy Chapman

5/5

Love this one. Fast Car, Behind the Wall…so beautiful with such sad themes. I’d forgotten what a great album this is.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

2/5

This one was a little weird. Not my fave when it comes to jazz. Sounded nothing like Monsters Inc.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

I like old Pet Shop Boys stuff but didn’t enjoy this one. Over-produced and just weird.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

I liked this one. I don’t usually listen to Radiohead but this was good!

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

3/5

I liked this! It was nice and upbeat in the background while I was working.

Close To You

Carpenters

1/5

A couple of decent songs but mostly this is just not my genre. Omg their version of Help is bonkers.

Dire Straits

4/5

Great album. Some songs I wasn’t as familiar with but I really enjoyed it.

Ctrl

SZA

3/5

I liked this ok. Not usually one I would seek out but it was good.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

3/5

Not bad! I pride myself on knowing a lot of 80s music but had never heard of these guys before. They had a bit of a weird ‘sitcom theme’ sound at times but still fun.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

2/5
