U2

3/5

Rough start to this list since I generally don't like U2. I thought the album started strong, but overall it was just ok. 3.5 Stars.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

My jazz background is in La La Land and Soul, so don't come for me. -Blue in Green: *turns up collar of trench coat, lights cigarette, and walks out into the seedy streets of 1930s New York* -Flamenco Sketches: for sippin’ whiskey with a dame who’s no good for you Okay I like it, Picasso - 4 stars

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

2/5

God, I can’t stand the Beastie Boys. -Get it Together isn’t so bad, but I think it’s because someone else is on the track. -Sabrosa is funky, I dig it. I like the music on some of these tracks, but I can’t handle the vocals. This album ain’t for me. 2.5 Stars

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Don’t think I’ve ever heard their music before. -I’m feeling Mother Goose 🪿 - My God: Heck yeah brother, shred that flute I like the mix of flute/folk style with classic rock. Not something I’d normally listen to, but it probably does deserve another listen at some point. - 3.5 Stars

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

This album feels a little bit like a bait and switch. Gimme Shelter goes so hard, then it’s just kind of ok for the majority of the album, and then it picks back up at the end with You Can’t Always Get What You Want. Maybe I’d appreciate it more with another listen. 3.5 Stars

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

A name I know, but don’t think I’ve listened to before. Diggin: Love is a Wild Thing, Space Cowboy, Happy & Sad, and Velvet Elvis I like her voice and I always love a good banjo. I can see myself liking the album more with another listen. 3.5 stars, but I’ll give it a 4 on here for the future potential.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

1/5

Not overly optimistic on my chances of liking this album, but I will listen nonetheless. -not the screaming… -not a huge fan of the vocals, but I do like the music -love all of me and chicken dog aren’t so bad -the vocals are either improving or growing on me - they’re losing me again -Why is this thing so long?? I thought i was nearing the end and i’m only halfway through? -it would seem i was listening to bonus tracks? Idk. This wasn’t great. 1.5 stars

Melodrama

Lorde

3/5

I know and like Greenlight and Liability, but haven’t listened to the full album before. It was alright, not good not bad. 3 stars.

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

1/5

I lost my notes for this but I did *not* enjoy this. I think I said something about it being to same-y and I didn’t like the guys voice. 1 star.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

3/5

We listened in the car and technically I have a few songs left to listen to, but it was just ok for me. She does have a nice voice. 3 stars.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Yeaaa good vibes all around. 4 stars.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

I enjoyed, it probably deserves another listen. 3.5 stars.

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

3/5

Oo this is very 70s. Man this is one horny dude. Groovy man. 3.5 stars.

Dire Straits

4/5

Sultans of Swing is very good. I can see myself liking the rest of the album more over time too. 3.5 Stars.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

The Weight really is a banger. It’s good, but I don’t see myself listening again. 3.5 stars.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

Yes yes, I like this. Will listen again fo sho. 4 stars. Apparently I wasn’t paying attention during the song about not wanting immigrants in the UK. So while I enjoyed the sound of this album and some of the songs, I have to reduce my rating. 2 Stars.

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

3/5

Not really for me. I liked “Warrior in Woolworths” and “I Can’t Do Anything” the most. 2.5 Stars.

Imagine

John Lennon

4/5

I like it. Not as much as I like the Beatles, but I like it. 3.5 stars, but I’ll round up.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

3/5

“Tainted Love”, “Where Did Our Love Go”, and “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” are all good, but the rest is just kind of meh.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

3/5

Just alright.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

5/5

Very good.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

I like Michael Kiwanuka’s voice and guitar in a lot of these. You Ain’t the Problem, I’ve Been Dazed, and Hero were the standouts to me. 4 stars.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1/5

RHCP is hit or miss for me and the majority of this album is a miss. I like the guitar and some of the vocals in I Could Have Lied, but it’s just ok. I can't express how much I hate Suck My Kiss and Give it Away. Under the Bridge is good, but not enough to save this album. 1 Star.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

3/5

She has a nice voice and I like early 2000s R&B. 3.5 Stars.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Mmm good stuff.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

2/5

Nah, not for me.

Being There

Wilco

3/5

I liked the vibes of this album and I’m a sucker for some good banjo. There weren’t any songs that jumped out at me in particular, but I would listen again. 3.5 stars.

Ctrl

SZA

3/5

She has a nice voice, but this wasn't anything special.

Queen II

Queen

4/5

I don’t think I had heard any of these songs before, but I do like Queen. 3.5 Stars

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

The album cover had me worried, but it actually wasn't too bad. 3.5 stars.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

Kind if made me think of Coldplay at times. Deserves another listen as I was a bit distracted. 3.5 Stars

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

“Psycho Killer” is very good. I also enjoyed “Pulled Up”. 4 stars.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

I dig this a lot. 4.5 stars.

Stephen Stills

3/5

3.5 stars.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

This feels like it would be the soundtrack to a grungy, early aughts cybercrime/action movie or a PS1 skating game [positive].

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

Masters of War feels very relevant still.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

4/5

I liked the album as a whole, but I particularly liked the intro song. I wish that vibe had carried out through the rest of the album.

Achtung Baby

U2

3/5

Sigh, more U2.

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

The Kinks

4/5

I do like The Kinks.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

I know people really like Elliott Smith, but this wasn't anything over the top for me. 3.5 Stars.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

When your mom says “We have The Beatles at home”. 3.5 Stars

Shadowland

k.d. lang

3/5

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Didn’t really like “Rich” through “No No No”. “Pin” isn’t so bad. “Maps” is great. I liked “Y Control” through “Poor Song”. 3.5 Stars

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

I like the vibes overall, but nothing really stood out. 3 Stars.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

3/5

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

1/5

Well, that was…something. I’m too much of square for this kind of psychedelic/avant-garde music. 1 star

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

The perfect voice for an album as tender and romantic as this one. The standout songs for me were Don’t Know Why, Come Away With Me, Turn Me On, and Painter Song. I wish there was a bit more variety and range in the songs, but it’s a solid album overall.

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

The Rise & Fall

Madness

4/5

I hadn’t heard of this band before, but I did recognize Our House. I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

1/5

Not good, but at least it was short.

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

C’mon, like I’d give this any other rating.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

3.5 Stars.

Sunshine Hit Me

The Bees

3/5

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

2/5

My bad, but bland, which some might say is worse.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

There’s just not really anything worth listening to here. She Talks to Angels is probably the best song on the album, but that’s not saying much.

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

It’s not a bad album, but I don’t think I’ll listen again.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

3/5

Not really my style, but I did enjoy Going Out of My Head, First Down, and Michael Jackson.

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

4/5

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

I liked aspects of several songs, but overall most made me feel impatient. When it felt like we should be moving on to the next part of the song, it would just repeat the same sequence again.

Fever Ray

4/5

Good vibes. I like. 4 stars.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

2/5

There were aspects of songs I liked, but overall, not a fan.

War

U2

3/5

Not too bad. I like Sunday Bloody Sunday the most. 3.5 stars.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

Gee cousin Louis, you're doing real good!

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

4/5

I don’t think I’ve heard of this band before, but I like their style.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

1/5

Metal isn’t really my thing, with a few exceptions. This wasn’t one of them.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

When I think of Black Sabbath, this is pretty much the sound I imagine. I wasn’t expecting a rock balled or acoustic interlude to be on here (“Changes” and “Laguna Sunrise”, respectively), but I was pleasantly surprised by them. Overall, I would say the album wasn’t anything special, but I did think it finished strong with “Under the Sun/Every Day Comes and Goes”. 3.5 Stars

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

It’s not bad, but nothing is really speaking to me.

5/5

I enjoyed this album. Previously I only knew Loser, but I can see myself listening to this album again. At the very least, I’ll listen to the handful of songs I saved on Spotify. 4.5 stars.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

3/5

I find it difficult to rate albums like this, when they are so clearly inspired by and/or emulating another band, in this case The Beatles. And while it’s not bad, I am more likely to just listen to the Beatles instead of this. Some of the songs do break from the Beatles mold a bit and have a generic classic rock sound, but there-in lies another problem, it’s just generic rock. All and all this isn’t a bad album, it’s just not good enough to stand on its own.

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

2/5

I couldn’t focus on this album, nothing special.

3/5

Not my favorite of Missy's, but it was just the beginning.

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

I didn’t really care for the storytelling/talking singing in this album. The parts that are actually sung are an improvement and, while I did like some of the instrumentals, they overall just felt the same between songs.

2/5

This album has the textbook sound of 90s pop rock, in the vein of Collective Soul and Dave Matthew’s Band. However, unlike those bands, this album was unremarkable and forgettable.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

I get that this album may have been influential or had a new sound at the time, but I think there are better The Cure albums to put on this list.

3/5

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

5/5

For some reason I couldn’t find this on Spotify as it’s titled here. However, I did find a self-titled album from 2002 that has all of the same tracks (minus one), but in a different order. The missing song, “O Que Foi Feito Devera”, I listened to separately. All that being said, I loved this. Excellent vibes all around.

Since he’s a self-proclaimed Nazi, this only gets 1 star. To briefly separate artist from the art, I’d say this album is at a 3 for me. I liked Dark Fantasy and All of the Lights, plus some of the samples and featuring artists in other songs. Kanye was probably the worst part about all of the songs and his ego and misogyny are a major turn off.

The music/instrumentals on this were alright and I even liked some of it, but I just couldn’t deal with the vocals. It was tolerable when they were soft spoken, but otherwise it was giving Cookie Monster and Scuttle from the Little Mermaid. Unsurprisingly, my two favorite tracks from this album were the instrumentals.
