Little Richard

5/5

Get it for the time. Not my type of music but respect what I was at the time. Do love swing drums tho.

The Band

5/5

Love some classic rock but wasn't familiar outside of "Chest Fever". Surprisingly good. Not my fave thing. Jemina Surrender is a bop. 8/10

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

It's a classic. Shorter than I thought? Appropriate since I live in Queens. Easily 4/10 of these are classics.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

1999

Prince

5/5

Out Of The Blue

One of my faves. Easy album to listen to.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

Country Joe & The Fish

5/5

Loved it. I love 60s psych blues. More of this pls!

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

5/5

Decent. Very 2010 sound. Good times. Some bangers.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

5/5

Elvis Presley

5/5

Not a fan. Sounds like a country white boy to me even when I studied him in school. I get it or whatever.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

Classic. So good. Could play this forever. Studied them in college so some nostalgia hitting here probably.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Nothing really to say. Classic Neil Young. I prefer my country rock with a little mix of some rock themes rather than being too stringy like folk rock. But not my fave.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

4/5

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

Enjoyed every minute of this lowkey. Super good. Can see the hype.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

Fantastic album. One of those "oh shit, it's that group?" Definitely saving this one.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

2/5

Not my thing. It's my speed but don't care for this kinda "sitting in the tall grass" type country. It's like Kurt Vile wore a vest with an American flag on it.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

5/5

Amazing. I don't care if they were covers, you could have told me these were the originals. Super sick. Saved.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Great 80s album but could you tune the snare drum down -2? Jeeeeeeeez.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

5/5

This is already a 5/5. 10/5. This is one of my favourite albums ever. I have like 4 of these on rotation anyway.

The Next Day

David Bowie

5/5

Easy!! Still had the 80s sound but with newish tech. Like if the Smiths were more modern

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

3/5

Meh. Not my brand of sound. There was one banger on there but that's it. Can see where the Talking Heads come from.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

5/5

My type of music. Very spacey. I don't know what they're saying because I don't speak Dutch or Icelandic languages but I know the mood. 10/10

Kenya

Machito

3/5

Sounds like 70s Scooby doo chase music. It's fun.

LTJ Bukem

4/5

Decent drum and bass. Feels like I should be driving in Germany listening to this

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

5/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

It's always fuck Morrissey. Music is still good tho. I've learned to tune out some voices in songs so the music made up for it.

The Rolling Stones

4/5

This is The Rolling Stones sound.

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

3/5

2/5

No. Cannot do it.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

Look, I like Dylan but in spurts. Forgettable.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

Super strong way to debut. I'm biased but this was already one of my favorites.

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

3/5

Enjoyed it. Can only handle so much Tom Waits at one time tho. Piano songs better than some of his strumming. Whatever. It's Tom Waits. You know what you're getting into here for the most part

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

5/5. Changed my life. Even the B-sides or the side album bangs. Online release at the time? 0/5 for their songs on this album being in a Twilight Soundtrack. Is it also fuck Thom Yorke as a person?

The Undertones

5/5

Late 70s punk. I like this sound a lot.

Young Americans

David Bowie

5/5

Girly pop music. Get it. Not my thing. Feels like I need to be driving an all white thunderbird or some shit.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

5/5

Supertramp

5/5

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

Super fun. Very 2000 album but love the sound here.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

5/5

This kind of alt sound with her voice is and will always be a fave. She should avoid dudes in the future with cool tshirts tho

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

5/5
