Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

All Ratings

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Listenable but not my vibe. Best track = Living For The City

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

I thought this was solid throughout. Good background music. Best track = Hey Hey,My My (Into The Black)

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Still not a Bruce fan after listening to this in it's entirety. It was OK but I can't think of a time I'd intentionally listen again. Best track - I'm On Fire

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

No words - just Collin...Wish You Were Here. Thanks for sending this to us today. You're always with us.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Classic through and through. Not sure I remembered that it had a softer side as well. Top track - War Pigs

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

4/5

i'll listen again

Debut

Björk

Classic. Favorite track - You've Got a Friend

Tago Mago

Can

3/5

Arise

Sepultura

4/5

Listenable metal. Favorite track - Infected Voice

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

1/5

Awful. I'm not sure I had a favorite track but I could relate to the lyric "I hate it here. Get me out of here" while listening.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

2/5

Ok but I'd never listen on purpose. Best track - Champagne Supernova

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

Listenable in the background

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

2/5

Ugh!

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Although this one might not be my favorite, it seems like any Bob Marley album is better than the best of most artists.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Started well, then... Best track-What's Going On

Trio

Dolly Parton

3/5

Solid but not as spectacular as I expected. Favorite track- To Know Him Is To Love Him

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

2/5

I expected this to hold up better than it does. Does remastering ever actually improve anything? Best track - Church of the Poison Mind

The Joshua Tree

5/5

Iconic, although With or Without Chew will forever offend my articulation sensibilities. Best track - Running To Stand Still

The Libertines

3/5

Ok but not great

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

It got better as it went along

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Best song - Just The Way You Are

Elvis Presley

3/5

Still not an Elvis fan. Best song-Fever

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

Great artist, bad album.

Truth

Jeff Beck

3/5

Best track-Beck's Bolero

Metallica

4/5

Solid throughout. Best track - The Unforgiven

Caetano Veloso

2/5

Best thing was the album art. Music was too bubblegum for me.

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

Hard to pick a best track when they're all so similar. I guess I'll go with Rollin' & Scratchin'.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

High Violet

The National

2/5

Sounds like Depeche Mode on Valium

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

1/5

Well, there went my plan to listen to every album in its entirety before passing judgment. I could barely make it through 15 seconds of each track on this one.

Slipknot

2/5

I wanted to like it but the vocals dragged it down.

Play

Moby

4/5

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

1/5

Whiney, self-indulgent crap.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Bubblegum...in that it's good for a few minutes (Son of a Preacher Man) but quickly loses its flavor after that.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

4/5

This was like a surprisingly good opening act when you showed up to see another band.

Being There

Wilco

3/5

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Southern Man

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

2/5

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

I didn't realize i knew as many of these songs as I did. Not only that, but I hear their influence on Franz Ferdinand, Jack White, The Cure and The Cranberries to name just a few.

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

Surrealistic Pillow

2/5

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

I saw The Killers live when they were touring to support this album. They played it in its entirety plus maybe one more song. It was probably the shortest show I've ever seen but was great nonetheless.

Paul McCartney

3/5

If I gave Imagine 3 stars on the strength of the title track, I guess I should do the same here based in Maybe I'm Amazed. Again, I see why people were mad at Yoko if this was what was immediately following The Beatles.

Violent Femmes

4/5

One of the few albums I can remember where is was when i heard for the very first time.

This one surpassed my expectations.

This one sounds like they're trying too hard. It reminds me of someone you meet in line waiting for the bathroom and quickly realize you can't get away fast enough.
