Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

Some absolute classics here. But those are the only ones I’d go back and listen to I think.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

2/5

Maybe some good music? Wouldn’t recommend to someone

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

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

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

Very very solid album. Wish I had given more of a listen to these guys before. Almost a 5 but I’m reserving for all time legendary albums. Super super solid 4.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

All time classic. Have listened to a bit and would definitely listen to it through again.

Hms Fable

Shack

2/5

Not into it.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

He’s a genius. Generational talent. Not a single song I don’t like and wouldn’t play again. Perfect.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

3/5

It was ok. She’s incredibly talented

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

2/5

Not at all what I thought The Bee Gees sounds was like. Not a huge fan though. Kinda boring

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

You already know ELO gets a five star. No notes.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Nice classic soul music. You can tell it influence people like Jamariquai.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

3/5

Pretty solid! Interesting melodies. Liked a few songs. Definitely a different sound for the current time.

Smile

Brian Wilson

3/5

I understand how influential this guy and The Beach Boys were, just can’t listen to more than a song or two at once.

LP1

FKA twigs

1/5

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

Influential. Would listen to again. Lou Reed is king but I like velvet underground better cause they jam more. That’s why it’s a three star

Gorillaz

3/5

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Obviously very influential. A classic that makes me move my head. Don’t know that I would put it on repeat though. Solid 3, would go 3.5

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

I just don’t like the constant nasally screaming into the mic.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Top 10 rap album of all time

Suzanne Vega

3/5

Clearly influential. Beautiful guitar. Interesting cadence and pitch of voice. Probably couldn’t listen to it on repeat.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Jimi is such an amazing guitar player (not saying anything new there). The bass and drums really drove the sounds too. The use of the right and left speakers for different sounds or moving the same sound back and forth created a unique spatial environment that put you in the room with the band.

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

4/5

Very in your face. Can tell it influenced a lot of modern rap and even some rock with his cadence, beats and lyrics. Cadence and beats: Macklemore, Beastie Boys, Kendrick. Cadence: Red Hot Chili Peppers (Give it Away). Lyrics: Kendrick, most other clever rappers

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

Very solid music. Was well-timed with the background music I needed at the moment when I turned it on. I want to give it higher than a three but I just can’t bring myself to do it.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Pivotal album. Always hits. The Chili’s are always on a level of their own for me.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Love me some jazz and this couldn’t brighten any day

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

5/5

What a performer. The same song twice?? All time great.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

2/5

It was just ok. Good music but the lead singer’s voice got old quick. I felt like so many of the songs could have broken into jams and they just kinda hung in that ‘almost a good song’ category

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

Caught me in a jazzy mood

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

2/5

Meh. Got sick of his voice. First song gave me a little hope but then this one really drug out.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

So solid. Generational talent. Kentucky rain got me good.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Groovy! Cool covers too

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

All time great

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

Some okay songs. Never been a big beach boy guy. RIP Brian Wilson though

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Well made album. I see why people like them but I’m just not in love with the genre. I appreciate how incredibly talented they are though. Time signature changes, solos, drums, etc.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Some absolute classics on here. What an iconic guitar sound.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

Very 80’s. Each one sounded like the last. No likes to take away but I’m sure someone in the world appreciates it so not just one star

Miriam Makeba

4/5

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

5/5

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

Very good at what he does. Most clever rapper in the game.

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

2/5

Ok songs. I can’t stand the guys voice droning on and on. I can’t listen to the Smiths either.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

Has been a repeat album for me for a while. Lover, You Should Have Come Over is an all time song.

Paul Simon

5/5

Honestly amazed. The guitar reminds me of what would tickle my ear when I first started playing. How he can fill a room with sounds with such beautiful vocal melodies complimented by the guitar’s harmony is impressive.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

1/5

Manassas

Stephen Stills

5/5

Maybe it’s the timing of putting this on as I passed through Cheyenne Wyoming on the way north from Denver but damn this album is great!

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Liked it pretty good!

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Slow but good! Can tell it influenced a lot of music beyond just country. Lyrics especially.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

Liked it much more than I thought I would. Might need to buy a cowboy hat and a revolver 🔫

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

All time great 2000’s alt rock album. Always on repeat.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

2/5

Groved for a couple songs but overall not impressed.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

1/5

Not for me. Why is this on this list?

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Actually really liked this. I can picture jamming out hard to this in an Irish bar. Also seems like it was pretty influential.

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Spotify calls them “one of the world’s most influential, innovative and compelling bands.” I don’t get completely it. A couple musically impressive and catchy songs. Three stars because I get they’re talented but I wouldn’t listen to again.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

I think I get it. Somewhat innovative but pretty out there. Cool sounds. Kinda sounds like Talking Heads. Love call the police

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

2/5

Music was good but couldn’t take his voice.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

3/5

This got me in the right mood. All jacked up on caffeine. I thought they were much more metal but I enjoyed the melodies and overall sound. Would listen to again!

My Generation

The Who

4/5

Absolutely rocked. These dudes were pioneers.

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

I bet this was very popular and a new sound in the mid-80’s. A few catchy songs and clearly talented musicians. Might listen to a couple again.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

4/5

Beautiful voice, great piano and overall composition. Probably wouldn’t listen to any of it again except for “Happy Phantom” but that’s just because of my taste.

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

2/5

Just a lot of noises. I generally like punk rock but this was a different spin. Likely won’t listen again.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Kinda really dug this. Will listen again

Odelay

Beck

5/5

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Innovative. First two songs were great. Everything after that was interesting
