I heard someone mention that The Stones were a blues band and that Led Zeppelin was a rock band. I get it now.

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

I was never a huge fan, but Tre Cool's drumming is better than I remembered. This is the first time I have actually read all the lyrics. The over-all tone struck me as nihilistic and somewhat anti-religious.

Adele

2/5

Not my jam. Great voice tho.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

Radiohead

1/5

too slow.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

5/5

As a 20 something in the early 80s, I had a disdain for Steely Dan. My boss told me to just wait awhile and I'll appreciate it. He was right! Love this album by a phenomenal artist.

The Cars

5/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

Exceptional. Great tunes for a rainy Sunday morning. The Merry Minstrel.

Exceptional music by an oustanding band.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

2/5

Mehhh

Kid A

Radiohead

2/5

Sometimes chaotic, sometimes jazzy, sometimes both simultaneously. Ethereal. After about the 5th song , they all sounded alike. There wasnt one that stood out. Nothing memorable here.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

3/5

Took me back to when I was 16. Glad I'm not 16 anymore. Some good stuff, some kinda boring. Not terribly exciting to me. Almost everyone I knew that liked music back then bought this album.

Vivid

Living Colour

4/5

Love this album. It's hard to believe I didn't have it in my rather small collection—so very relevant today. In a world of George Michael, Tracy Chapman, and Dirty Dancing, these guys hit hard. Seeing these guys rock on MTV was amazing to me.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

1/5

There is no soul to this music. Very forgettable. Just play it in the background and never bring it up.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

I so very much want to like this.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

Franz Ferdinand

2/5

First listen, I was hoping for maybe something a little more. Realized it sounds like a bunch of other bands from that era. Nothing really trail-blazing or original. Some catchy pop in there. 2nd time through ....felt the same as the first.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

really want to like this one. Cmon Eileen did stand out but I think it was my familiarity with the tune. Always thought that was a cool song with the arrangement and the change of tempo throughout. The rest of the album nothing really stood out and grabbed me.

Paris 1919

John Cale

2/5

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

2/5

Unfortunately I'm not in on the joke here. Everyone raves about this, describing it as iconic and groundbreaking. I don't get it.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

This is Bossa Nova? Didnt know that. I am waiting for that one jazz album that hooks me. Every time one comes up on this random album generator, I have a kind of letdown feeling on one hand and genuine curiosity on the other. This is perfect 1960's pool party music. Sits in the background and provides atmosphere. Ended up listening to it whilw driving as well as drinking coffee in the morning. I think I like it.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

2/5

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

1/5

What is this? WHile I appreciate that it is something new to me, I did not care to listen to it.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

They just keep evolving and innovating! Love this album. Reading in the wiki it says this was their magnum opus. Not sure I would agree although this is a very fine album top to bottom. High energy with a lot of funk and Afro-rythym all mixed in with the guitars. This band is the shit!

Dummy

Portishead

2/5

Noise. I don't feel it.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

70's soul and a concept album. Life story is tragic. I wonder if my parents listened to Marvin? I hope so.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Stellar.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

1/5

My first time. Not what I thought. Slow and uninspiring,

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

I heard someone mention that The Stones were a blues band and that Led Zeppelin was a rock band. I get it now.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

1/5

I suppose it's good Sunday morning background music but really it's nothing that catches my ear at all.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

1/5

Not anything outstanding. Lots of forgettable tunes.

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Reggatta De Blanc

5/5

Love it

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

I appreciate the eclectic nature of this album—something for everyone. I probably wouldn't listen again, though, as the tunes weren't necessarily memorable to me.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

5/5

Stellar, top to bottom

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

3/5

I think Kravitz is a bit of a prima donna so when I saw this come up I was a little put off. I want to stay open about all music. So I was pleasantly surprised ...I do like this album. I hear Prince, some Beatles. I like that he is stretching his vocal limits....makes it sound genuine. I may have been a bit too harsh on Lenny.

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

4/5

Loved it.
