The Dictators
This album grew on me the longer I listened to it. They have a real DIY, fast and loose approach to making music and despite maybe coming off as a bit cheesy sometimes it worked for me. Its a really direct line from these guys to the rest of the NY punk scene and pretty amazing this album came out in 1975.

UB40
I remember downloading a bunch of Bob Marley on limewire way back in the day. The song "Red Red Wine" but accredited to him was amongst the songs. I knew it wasn't a Bob Marley song and remember being so irritated by this error. I remember finding out later that the guy singing Red Red Wine was actually a white guy not from Jamaica. This whole experience basically made me write off UB40 from that point on.
Untill today. This album was actually great. It might be a bit overproduced, has hints of cultural appropriation, and sometimes comes off a bit corny but I really enjoyed it. I will definitely listen to more UB40, just maybe not Red Red Wine.

Radiohead
This album was actually my introduction to Radiohead when I first heard it as a 14 year old. It always felt to me like "adult" music, you had to listen closely and pay attention not because of the complexity of the songs but because of the subtlety. It actually surprised me again that this was as intriguing as it was to me when I was young but somehow it hasn't lost a beat. Listening to this whole album in passing again reminded me to dig it out sometime again soon, with headphone and my undivided attention.

Led Zeppelin
I feel like Physical Graffiti often doesn't get held in as high regard as the the first 4 Zeppelin albums...which is a total shame. It is a departure from the blues driven, soulful guitar riff porn that they made on the first few albums...but in their place is this sophisticated, deep and quite frankly brilliant 4 sided masterpiece that crosses genres. In My Time of Dying, In The Light, 10 Years Gone (not to mention freaking Kashmir)! I think this is my favourite, and maybe even The Best, Zeppelin Album.

Amy Winehouse
I think Amy Winehouse is a good example of how media portrayal can make or break an artist. What I knew of her was the portrait of an individual struggling with addiction. Though she died from her addictions and joined the famed 27 club I wish I got more coverage of her contributions as a musician. I thought this album was a pretty great blend of new and old styles with just enough of a twist to keep it interesting.
