Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

4/5

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

I liked the first half more than the second. I was impressed that an album from the 70s sounded so much like it was from the 90s or early 2000s. Sounded similar to Cake to me.

He really is a piano man.

Good but not their best.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

5/5

Had mommy issues but made good music.

Bossanova

Pixies

2/5

When the album is called bossanova but there is no bossa nova in it 🤬

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Reminds me of MGMT’s Little Dark Age (I guess it’s technically the other way around timing wise).

Tricky

4/5

Nice vibes. Good for working.

Ten

Pearl Jam

1/5

Could have been a two but the cherry on top to this annoying album was the final OVER 8 MINUTE song.

Led Zeppelin

3/5

It’s okay. Would be better if they didn’t write about and normalize sexualizing underage girls.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Chill vibes.

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

2/5

I wasn’t amazed, but I didn’t hate it.

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

2/5

It was fine. Not too memorable except when he goes “my friends 👹👹👹”.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

5/5

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

I found this album jarring as a result of the large difference in the quality of Cohen’s lyric writing versus his singing. The words are beautiful, but the album isn’t the greatest listen.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

4/5

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Once again, it very much reminds me of Cake 🍰.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Not my favorite type of music but this might be a new go to for when I’m angry. My biggest gripe with this albums is that many of the songs don’t flow into one another.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

I liked this more than Eliminator, but it doesn’t especially stand out to me. Their music sounds like what they play in a Chevy car ad.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Faith

George Michael

4/5

Solid 80s pop album.

The Man Who

Travis

4/5

The perfect album I’d recommend to a woman if I were a performative male/male manipulator. Overall, it’s a good alt album full of love songs.

4/5

One of Princess Diana’s favorite bands 💔

Orbital 2

Orbital

4/5

Good, but some of the songs remind of the Anti-piracy ad - Piracy. It’s a crime. from the early 2000s.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Some fun classics here. Makes me think of the movie Megamind because it has AC/DC songs from this album in the soundtrack.

3/5

Not bad. The vibe was what I imagine what high schoolers played in the 80s while they were parking lmao.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

5/5

Destiny's Child

5/5

I’m so happy this album is in this list. It’s refreshing after so many mid albums.

3/5

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

4/5

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

Not as bad as other albums I’ve had to listen to for this album. Some songs were almost good but were brought down by other songs in the album. Also, 2 hours is too long for an album imo.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

Chris

Christine and the Queens

4/5

I liked the first half of the album more than the second. Reminded me of Caroline Polachek.

The Specials

2/5

It would have gotten 5/5 but some songs brought the whole album down.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

3/5

Neither hate nor love this album.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

4/5

My boyfriend won’t get this comparison: Listening to this album made me feel like I was Caroline Bassette walking into Calvin Klein during her hay day.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Long live Dolly Parton! I did notice she uses some songs from this album in Jolene.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

2/5

I find this album uninspired and boring. I could have gone my whole life without listening to it and feel like I’m not missing out.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

If I don’t listen to the lyrics, I would say this music feels like yearning. Would have given it a 3 but apparently this man is a POS. So….

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Probably would have been a 2 if it were not for Nico.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Kind of boring but some of the solos were good.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

It’s funny how the most famous song in this album is so unlike the rest of the album. This album is undeniably influential, yet I am a little underwhelmed.

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

2/5

While there are some fun songs in this album, such as Infatuation, and classics, such as Beautiful, there are no songs I will be returning to in this album. I also think this album lacks a cohesiveness and feels for the most part unmemorable.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Great album! I appreciate the songs Otis Redding wrote himself and can understand his style and sound through his song covers.

Kenza

Khaled

3/5

The first half of this album was not good. Especially the song Imagine. Should I hold Khalid responsible for the sins of John Lennon and Gal Gadot? Probably not. In fact, Khaled’s version has a much better message and meaning. However, the tune of that song is like nails scratching a chalkboard for me at this point. The second half was redeeming. I liked songs like Raba-Raba. I was surprised when I suddenly heard Latin American sounds with the song Goulouha-Dji and it was fun. I wish the first half of this album didn’t exist! Otherwise, it would have gotten a 4.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

The perfect music for a romance.

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

This sounded so much like 90s/2000s rock; this album specifically reminded me of the Strokes. Not bad but also not something I’d save to listen to again.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Kind of boring except for American Girl (a song which I mostly like because Betty once danced to it in an episode of Ugly Betty).

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

3/5

I feel pretty neutral on this album. It wasn’t horrible to listen to but I’m not sure if it stands out.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

5/5

This is a great album for women 💅
