Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

All Ratings

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Longtime favorite. Shaped my music listening and writing for decades. Powerful enough that I appreciated the follow-up album The Final Cut, even considering it the sequel to The Wall.

Peter Gabriel

5/5

Phenomenal album. For me, the last of his truly interesting works.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

Great album. Legendary title track. More restrained than their previous albums but still distinctly theirs.

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

Very good album but the beginning of the homogeneity of their sound. After this all their albums sound the same.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

5/5

Fascinating album. A great collaboration between 2 great musical minds. Otherworldly tribal rhythms with samples seamlessly interwoven into the tunes. Highly recommended.

Synchronicity

The Police

5/5

A dark swan song for these pop pioneers. Excellent and moody, with ebon textures and lyrics at times both thoughtful and chilling. It used to play on repeat in my car. Highly recommended.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

A classic. Jimi at his most amazing. Soulful guitar works that resonate even today. Highly recommended.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1/5

Overrated.

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Masterpiece. Maybe Rush's best album. Truly iconic. "Tom Sawyer," "Red Barchetta," and "Camera Eye" are forever bangers.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Startling debut by Jimi Hendrix. A masterpiece of guitar virtuosity only surpassed by Electric Ladyland. Undeniable classic.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Absolute classic. Enough said.

Garbage

5/5

Absolute banger. What they mean when they say all killer no filler. Their most famous hits are on here but don't sleep on the other songs on this album. It's all greatness.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

A true heavy metal classic. R.I.P. Ozzy.

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

4/5

Deranged. Psychedelic. Infinitely creative. Perfectly imperfect. R.I.P. Syd.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

The keystone of progressive rock. Absolutely brilliant. My introduction to the genius of Robert Fripp. A luscious, propulsive masterpiece.

Elephant

The White Stripes

1/5

Sucks.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

1/5

Total garbage. Next.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

5/5

Absolute classic. Their second best album next to Thick As A Brick in my opinion. Excellent bangers anchored by the trifecta that are the title track, Cross-Eyed Mary, and Locomotive Breath. Actually, depending on my mood, I would say this is Jethro Tull's best album, but TAAB speaks more truth to me. Let's just call it a tie.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

3/5

Overrated. Is there greatness here? Yes, with Ted, Just Admit It, Mountain Song, & Jane Says, but the rest I just found to be a boring slog.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

5/5

The group's second best album. A stunning precursor of the greatness to come in the future. I know what I like indeed.

Tommy

The Who

4/5

People love this album. I don't. It's got its moments of greatness, but it's not Quadrophenia.
