Never heard of boards of canada until today. Reminds me a lot of trip hop groups I used to listen to, like Orbital. Really enjoyed this band. Looking forward to listening to more of BoC.

An iconic album of the early 70's. Several songs I've forgotten about. Loved listening to this album today.
Eagles
3/5
Never been much of a fan of this album, but it has been some time since I've listened to it... I reluctantly listened to it again today... I'm still right, this album doesn't resonate with me. Its ok, but in my mind, its over hyped.
Pink Floyd
5/5
One of the best rock albums of all time. Love this album. Highly layered songs, that are extremely intricate. Great compositions from start to finish. Yes this is over indulgence but I'm ok with it here. Love this album!

Good songs, not my normal type of music I like but I did enjoy it
Soft Machine

Wow, I forgot how out there this album can be... I've listened to this a few times, once when I was a teenage, another when I was in college, and again now. It was not exactly what I remember. Some strong parts but overall, very interesting.

Outside of two songs, this was a hard one to get through.

Not his best album, but it was interesting

3/5
This album really didn't stick with me. Its ok, but nothing really memoreable.

Forgot how strong this album is. Some really great writing on this one and an indicator of what was to come.

Yeah... Bass solos are far more entertaining in person... Ok album.
3/5

Sheryl Crow
4/5
Love this album. Strong writing.
Dinosaur Jr.
2/5
Meh...
Led Zeppelin
4/5
One of their better albums. Some of the songs were really innovative for their time. Many others copied what was done on this album.
The Yardbirds
3/5
Not what I was expecting. More blues based, which makes sense given the lineup. Very young Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, and the playing shows that.

4/5
Fantastic Album. One of the best albums in the 90's.

4/5
Forgot just how good this album is. Strong writing from start to end. Great tracks!!!

Just ok. 2 decent songs and thats it...

Fantastic but uneven album. Some absolute bangers here.
The Chemical Brothers

Buddy Holly & The Crickets
3/5
Never been much on Buddy Holly and this album proves it. Couple of good songs but not much more.
David Gray
2/5
This one was a bit of a grind... I remember this album when it came out and found David Gray's voice interesting but the music... uninteresting... That has stayed true during the past 30 years...
Hanoi Rocks
3/5
Liked this album more than I thought I would. A couple of catchy tunes. Would definitely listen to again.
Kings of Leon
2/5

4/5

CHVRCHES
4/5
Decent album. More poppy than I was thinking it would be. Liked the feel of the album.
The Sugarcubes
3/5
Some decent song, it was a good album that draws from the influences for the time. I could hear Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossums and others in the album.

5/5
Fantastic album, probably his best album. 7 out of 9 songs are wonderful. Great writing, great music!
Tito Puente
3/5
Just ok
Pixies
3/5

One of their best albums! Strong writing from start to finish.

3/5
Decent album, reminded me of Delbert McClinton. Good writing.
The Band
2/5
Not great at all...
Nico
1/5
Someone described her as a muse of the 70's NYC scene... I don't know about that, I could only draw parallels of her music with Yoko Ono... It was interesting but that's about it...
Norah Jones
5/5
Absolutely beautiful album.
Sebadoh
2/5
John Lennon
3/5
Not a big fan of this album. Double Fantasy is so much better.

2/5
This album had it moments, but after a while it was all the same.
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
Just an average album, definitely not their best.
Prince
3/5
Definitely not his best. Just an ok album...
Kraftwerk
4/5
Better than I thought it was going to be. I knew a few of the songs and I knew a few songs from the D&B demo's I've seen over the years.
The Crusaders
3/5
Not bad, I like the smooth jazz feel, which is not something that I tend to gravitate towards.
Boston
5/5
Loved this album. Reminds me of my father. So many strong songs on this one.
The Go-Go's
3/5
Decent. Hadn't listened to this album before but I knew the big hits. Its ok, even good. Its a good introduction to The Go-Go's.

Meh... Just meh meh meh... Didn't hate it, all I can muster is a meh...
The Undertones
2/5
No idea who they were and now I know why.

Just barely ok. Was hoping for something more.
Aimee Mann
3/5
Just ok. While very creative, not really resonating with me.
Simply Red
3/5

Ramblin' Jack Elliott
1/5
Just couldn't...
Public Enemy
3/5
Not great, but good.
Beatles
5/5
Fantastic Album!!!!

3/5
I really liked the writing on this album. A little more dour than I liked but still solid.

4/5
Never heard this album before or of this artist. Really like a lot of this album. Really creative, really interesting.

Better than what I thought it was going to be.

Fatboy Slim
2/5
Just ok. I was hoping for more...
Thin Lizzy
3/5
Could only listen to a few songs. Most of this album, Spotify would not allow them to be played. I liked what I heard.
Roxy Music
1/5
Not good...
Steely Dan
4/5
Better than what I was expecting. Not really a fan of Steely Dan but this was a good album.
The 13th Floor Elevators

So much weird shit going on in the background of this album. I really liked some of this but that weird shit is very distracting...
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Fantastic Album. Great song
Malcolm McLaren
3/5

4/5
Really good album. I really liked the live tracks.
Beck
4/5
This album really grew on me.
Big Star
2/5
CHIC
3/5
I forgot about this album. It wasn't as bad as i remember from when I was 5. Great guitar work in this album.
Bad Brains
4/5
Really liked this album. I wished I would have heard Bad Brains in the 80's. This was exactly the type of music I was into!
Pere Ubu
4/5
I had to listen to this album more than once and each time it grew on me. Some of these songs are brilliant yet bizarre. Really enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Moby
3/5
Not as good as I remember. A couple of good tracks but the rest left me wondering why I liked this album so much.
Elton John
4/5
Fantastic Album! Some great songs.
Cornershop
3/5
Not what I was expecting at all. There was a lot to like here. Different but good different.

Muddy Waters
5/5
Love this album! Song great fundamental blues songs.
Small Faces
2/5
Decent songs but the interludes were not good...
Brian Eno
2/5
An odd album to say the least...
The Rolling Stones
4/5
Pretty good album. I've never really listened to early Rolling Stones, but I like the feel of most of this album. Of course there were a couple of bangers, but outside of them, it was a good 60's album.
Blue Cheer
2/5
Either they were heavily influenced by early rockers in the 60's or they influenced them. Wasn't a bad album but wasn't good either...
2/5
Not a good or interesting album...
Bruce Springsteen
4/5
Really strong album. Never been a big Springsteen fan and this album was huge at the time. Good writing.
The Notorious B.I.G.
3/5
This album did not age as well as I thought it would. Yeah two big songs, but other than that is was very subpar, especially compared to NAS and WuTang and others.
Tom Tom Club
2/5
I was wanting to like this album more, but nope.
Metallica
5/5
There best album. From start to finish, a great album!
Earth, Wind & Fire
3/5
Loved some of this album. Reminds me of my parents
Randy Newman
3/5
Very biting humor on this album. Satire at its finest... But the music was just ok.
The Modern Lovers
3/5
Just ok. Wished for more on this one.
Wu-Tang Clan
4/5
What a great album! This album was a harbinger of what was to come for east coast rap in the 90's.
Bebel Gilberto
4/5
Nice album. Really liked her voice and styling
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
Not my jam... I tried but it was ok at best.
David Ackles
1/5
Could not make it through this album. Just bad...
The Prodigy
4/5
Good album. Reminds me of Chicago underground in the mid-late 90's.
Travis
3/5
Pretty good, would listen to more
Miles Davis
4/5
Cool album from the coolest motherfucker. I like this album just as much as Bitches Brew, which came out a few years later. This was definitely an indication of what was coming.
The Band
2/5
Didn't like the Band then, didn't like the band now. Did not find it interesting at all.
Bert Jansch
3/5
I liked it more than I thought I would.
Bob Dylan
4/5
Really good album. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Talking Heads
3/5
Ok, Its a different album, but not what I was hoping for. More eclectic than necessary. Looking at their trajectory, this album points to more interesting ideas in the future.
Marty Robbins
2/5
That was a tough one to get through. If you like traditional country, boarder line folk music, this one is for you.
Fugees
4/5
One of the best rap albums of the late 90's.
Van Halen
5/5
Absolute banger! One of the best albums of the 80's.
Neil Young
2/5
This album proves that I don't have the taste for Neil Young. I like his songwriting, but I don't like his voice. Nails on a chalk board.
Carole King
4/5
Good album. Reminds me of my father. Some decent songs to say the least, but felt very time bound. Not a bad thing just something that when I think of 70's song writers, Carole King is at the top of that list.
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
This album and most of m b v is a wall of sound. I like some of this but it can be a little monotonous at times.
Crowded House
3/5
I liked it more than I thought I would. It wasn't bad, nice arrangement.
Fiona Apple
4/5
This album still holds up. Sold song writing.
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
2/5
Had a hard time getting through this one. Very 80's British new wave.
Gorillaz
5/5
Love this album, this is one of the best albums of the early 2000's. Creative and refreshing for that point in time.
The Divine Comedy
2/5
This one did not resonate with me. I like his voice, unique and deep, but the music did not grab me.
New Order
4/5
Love this album. British new wave, at its best.
Peter Tosh
4/5
I liked this more than I thought I would. The driving bass lines and the syncopation of reggae is what I loved about this. Strong album, decent lyrics, stellar musicianship.
Muddy Waters
4/5
Not bad. The recording isn't that great, which overshadows the performances here.
Bad Company
4/5
Love this album. Strong writing, original for the time and really guided groups like REO Speedwagon and others.
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
Love this album. Reminds me of uni. Well written songs and a good response after Gish (which I also love). For me, this is the peak of Pumpkings.
Finley Quaye
4/5
I like this album more than I thought I would. Good song writing and musicianship.
Otis Redding
5/5
Great album! Love his voice, the emotion he is able to convey. Also, lots of familiar songs on this album. Its interesting that this time in song writing, many artist would cover each other songs and be very close in time. It was a different area of the music industry and this album takes advantage of that.
Sonic Youth
5/5
Love this album. Wish I was into Sonic Youth when I was younger. Many bangers on this one. How this album starts is just fantastic!
Deerhunter
4/5
I never heard of Deerhunter before, I liked this album. They reminded of The National.
Led Zeppelin
4/5
Really good album with lots of bangers. Not as good as IV or Physical Graffiti
Aretha Franklin
4/5
Good album. Iconic sound of soul in the late 60's!
David Crosby
3/5
Decent album. Liked it more than I thought I would. Last half of the album is different from what I thought it would be.
Hugh Masekela
4/5
Solid album. Reminds of Freddie Hubbard.
The Who
2/5
Not a big fan of this album. I like the Who and I know what they were trying to do, but this album didn't land for me. Kudos to the attempt, it was original but the music didn't grab me. I do love that this album is part of them. This album didn't hold my attention very wel.

Strong album with some great songs. This is the Clash that I remember.

Sound a lot like Delbert McClinton, maybe its the other way around... I liked it more than I thought.
Dennis Wilson

Pretty mediocre album, not a lot of interest in this at all...
Depeche Mode
