Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain

London Calling by The Clash

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers

Americana-ey

Debut by Björk

Interesting stuff. Not always great, but never dull

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode

Like they’re on the brink of putting it together for a true hit but all the pieces aren’t quite there. Meanders at times making me wonder what they were going for and feeling like they didn’t know and didn’t get there.

Different Class by Pulp

25 by Adele

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper

Cool enough to have on in the background, and interesting enough to listen closely.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu

Definitely interesting and unlike really anything I’ve heard before. Not sure how I’m supposed to dance to this though

Blunderbuss by Jack White

This rocks hard

The Healer by John Lee Hooker

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch

Slow start with some solid keepers on a vibe album

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5

Violator by Depeche Mode

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Got myself addicted to the rush of this one

Savane by Ali Farka Touré

Hotel California by Eagles

2-ply super soft bullshit. And dude, Red Man is not the preferred nomenclature. Native Americans, please

Hard Again by Muddy Waters

Can’t really go wrong with this one

Music For The Jilted Generation by The Prodigy

Not my favorite style, but I can appreciate it in doses

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

A bit all over the place for me. Lost is a good track that I can listen to multiple times, but the rest of it sort of doesn’t catch my interest.

Achtung Baby by U2

Top 5 album for me. Not sure how I’ll pick a single track to be the top one, but here we go. So Cruel might have to be my darkhorse favorite track. It catches me every time. Mysterious Ways, though… More to consider Ultra Violet gets strong consideration Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World should be considered, but JUST barely out of top 3 So Cruel for the win

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room by Dwight Yoakam

Dig me some Dwight. Tough to go wrong with Streets of Bakersfield A Thousand Miles from Nowhere Buenas Noches From a lonely Room One more name

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart

Pretty lazy-riffic Will is My Friend ain’t bad Overall an enjoyable enough listen, but not wholly memorable

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

Poignant Opening track is solid Leaving the Table is a gut punch and a goody Traveling Light prolly gets the nod

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino

The Cars by The Cars

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream

Liked it. Will revisit later to select a single track

Electric Warrior by T. Rex

SO good

1999 by Prince

Starts off with a bang BANG, and then just kinda drags on without much intrigue. Airplane sex, though.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.

Sheet Music by 10cc

American Idiot by Green Day

All timer. Damn near perfect

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Serious cultural moment. A lot of good stuff here; hard to argue with a 4-star rating. Still, can only listen so much before needing a palate cleanser. Hand in my Pocket works best for repeat

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

SO many top hits, and filler that’s good to better than good. I’m on Fire is a personal fav. Glory Days kills, and Dancing in the Dark, of course. Cover Me a darkhorse. But Born in the U.S.A. gotta be THE track, if one has to narrow it down.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

California Dreamin still hits. Album gets old after a couple spins

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

Talkin bout a revolution works. Fast Car slaps Otherwise pretty okay

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields

Frank by Amy Winehouse

GI by Germs

Richie Dagger’s Crime: love the intro

Arrival by ABBA

Some hits that are no surprise, and some not-good filler. Hits carry the album, of course I guess “Dancing Queen” would be added to the list
