Jurassic 5

4/5

Production on this is crazy good, doesn't really feel dated at all. Runs out of steam a little bit near the end but there's 7-8 certified bangers in this.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Wasn't mostly unfamiliar with T. Rex besides just knowing they are a rock band so it was exciting when Get It On came on and I thought "oh duh I know this one." Guitars and drums rip on this album (obviously) and I can definitely see myself listening to this again. Liked songs: Mambo Sun, Lean Woman Blues, Get It On, Life's A Gas (loved), and Hot Love.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

Starts off hot and Knights of Cydonia is an all-time rock song, but I ended up finding the album just okay as a whole. I probably did it a disservice not listening on the loudest possible speakers. Shout out to Chris Wolstenholme for absolutely ripping on the bass.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

I honestly loved this. Part of the reason I wanted to do this exercise it to broaden my taste in genres and I definitely want to give more big beat music a try. Is every song 20% longer than it needs to be? Sure but I had to stop myself from dancing along to all of them on my walk.

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

Achtung Baby

U2

2/5

I don't know if this one is a "had to be there" but I found it kind of dull. Still has some great sound (I'm sure this is much better live) but it wasn't quite the loud stadium rock I guess I expected from U2 after them being omnipresent for my entire life... Perhaps that's what people like about this one? Mysterious Ways definitely was a highlight but overall the album just didn't catch my attention. Maybe I'll give it another try eventually in the context of their other albums.

So

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

2/5

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

5/5

Men will make a whole album about their friend's wife rather than go to therapy. This was perfect for a Friday afternoon. Love how the guitar is essentially the lead vocals on this with Clapton's voice turned way down.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan
