Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

I vividly remember renting this CD from the library. Great album. Totally different from anything at the time (from what I remember). Many memories.

Disintegration

The Cure

2/5

Nope.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

1/5

So much noise. Rap/rock? Some of the beats were pretty good though. I will get much sleep until Brooklyn.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

1/5

Not sure what all the hype is. Was he 100 years old back in the '70s?

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

Jamie Foxx is such a great singer! I do love his voice though, and it was nice to hear songs I had never heard before. Good for listening to while cooking or dinner!

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Great album. I enjoy her upbeat stuff the most. Blue itself was pretty bad, but fun!

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

2/5

Meh. Heard too much of the Beatles but I suppose nothing is made in a vacuum. Great '60s sound though.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Great album. Love Neils/Crazy Horses guitar style and lyrics. The early grunge is evident on this album. #11

The Who Sell Out

The Who

1/5

Not my cup of tea. I can't imagine someone actually wanting to listen to this.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Great voice, enjoy the slow blues the best.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Pretty enjoyable. Could find myself listening to more of them for sure!

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

1/5

Tough to get through. Still stuck on Piper at the Gates of Dawn when Pink Floyd had already moved on.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Always fun to listen to. Nothing stand out for me, but it puts me in a good mood! Jah!

Feast of Wire

Calexico

2/5

Ok. I like the Mexican influence and sound, but I'm good.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

5/5

I didn't know George Bush was a Radiohead man! JK. I love all Radiohead, can't go wrong.

The World is a Ghetto

War

1/5

Heard via Megan. Not a fan.

Diamond Life

Sade

2/5

Great voice, but once in a blue moon will I find myself enjoying it.

Tracy Chapman

2/5

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

1/5

Even if I was in the mood, I still wouldn't listen to this. Smooth though.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

3/5

Very much all over the place, and wasn't expecting so much jazz. Kinda digged the lead singers voice. Can hear mom singing a few of these.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Always love Miles.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

4/5

Always love Miles.

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

Brings me back to HS. Great album. Piano needs to be brought back to more music.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Classic album. Some bangers, but an album for here and there.

Van Halen

1/5

Hate Hair bands. Each person by themselves are very talented, so you would expect the music to be great, but it never is.

Yeezus

Kanye West

2/5

Glimpses of something enjoyable, but mostly just nonsense to me on this album. The last song is probably the best.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Classic. "The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older." Great album to drive with all the windows down on a country road. Perfect from start to finish.

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

1/5

Wasn't really sure what this was.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Love me some Stones blues!

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

3/5

I need to revisit this album and band. There was something here, but I didn't get a chance to dive deeply into it. I'm intrigued!

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

1/5

All over the place. Some songs would start good but I felt like the pace would change constantly and I couldn't really keep a good flow.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

What a fun album! Brings me back to college and our summer in Boston. A few bangers on here that I could listen to on repeat!

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

1/5

I've really only ever liked one or two songs by the Pixies, and this just reconfirms my feelings. Not for me.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Man this brings me back to 8th grade! Quite literally nothing relatable, but each member has such a distinct sound that I enjoy.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Some alright songs that I recognize, but not someone I could listen to regularly. I understand why people enjoy him though.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

I actually really enjoyed this album. Never heard of them, but I definitely want to go back and discover more!

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

Great album. The 4 of them together make some seriously stellar music. Sometimes you just gotta let your freak flag fly!

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Never really cared for ZZ Top, but the older I get, the more I wanna put on some jorts, a cut off, mow my lawn, and drink an ice cold sixer in my garage! It ain't poetry, but that guitar gets me going.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

1/5

Can't stand this.

Smile

Brian Wilson

1/5

Beach Boy sound is not really my thing.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

2/5

Enjoyable if I was making dinner or a cocktail and just being around the house. Would have been perfect if it was all in French.

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

Some of these are great, and others I wasn't able to really dive into. Truthfully there are only a few albums of his that do it for me, but I appreciate his art.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

1/5

Woof, I love a handful of The Kinks songs, but this album didn't contain any of them. Difficult to get through.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

5/5

I understand this is not for everyone and certainly not for every situation, but I really love the '90s techno/house/x vibe of these albums. Give me more!

Crosby, Stills & Nash

1/5

Really just one song for me. Again, great voices, but some of these songs are just too whimsical for me. We could do with a lot less humming.
