At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

The live recording adds to the power of the songs, 'cause this crowd can directly relate to these themes (as can Johnny)

Black Sabbath

5/5

I loved it when it came out, and still do! I wonder how many other musical genre's owe their start to industrial accidents?

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

As '80s duos go, TfF is one of the best. The singles are lyrically among the most poignant written.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

5/5

This is a well produced album of some wonderful songs to soothe the soul

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

Some very listenable bossa nova with brilliant solos

Guero

Beck

4/5

A very listenable blend of quirckiness

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Metal as metal should be

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

5/5

The album that proved Aerosmith were a band to be reckoned with! All rock-n-roll with enough new twists to solidify their place in the pantheon

Van Halen

5/5

Van Halen bursts onto the scene with Eddie's inimitable guitar work and Roth's vocal calisthenics for a solid debut

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

These songs are good, but the string arrangements are ruinous. Another producer could have taken this in a different direction and saved it

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

4/5

Interesting exploratory techno in a genre started by Moog and Eno

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

Brian Wilson takes the Beach Boys to the next level with brilliant production. An incredible effort

Live At Leeds

The Who

5/5

Four guys that never got along joined to make great rock-n-roll in spite of themselves. Brilliant!

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

5/5

One of the best songwriters, every song here is well crafted

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

2/5

This cotton candy fluff gave me cavities

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Very little cohesion here but I suppose that's the point. Will listen again

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

4/5

Some good tunes, some self indulgence; would have made a better single record

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

5/5

The return of fuzz guitar and the three minute single that needs maximum volume to appreciate. Rock on!

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

Very pleasant pop with the right dose of teenage angst

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Excellent record! In retrospect, one wonders what great things were still to come

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

Solid grunge rock, singer needs to protect his vocal health

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

Good pop songs about bad break-ups

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

5/5

Genius folk singer/poet goes electric! And allows genres to meld

Stephen Stills

4/5

Lots of different styles tried, with various levels of success

New Wave

The Auteurs

4/5

I would go see this band if it was playing at the local, their ilk has been playing there since the seventies

Vivid

Living Colour

5/5

Terrific debut! Vernon Reid's guitar work puts him in league with Alex Van Halen and his lyrics are as timely as Elvis Costello's

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Move over Pat Boone and Perry Como, Ray can do country swing for the country club dance better

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Captures the feel of an average nite at the a club

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

3/5

One notch above ambient, occasionally I thought something interesting might be about to happen

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

5/5

Free jazz by one of its finest

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

3/5

Meh

Sound Affects

The Jam

5/5

Sharing two things with the Who, an association with Mods and a belief in the bass guitar as a lead instrument; that's my Jam

Kenza

Khaled

4/5

Unavailable on Spotify and You tube. Listened to Sahra, his 1996 album instead

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

As with all double albums, a bit self-indulgent, but on the whole brilliant

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

5/5

This is definitely a must listen, especially if and because the subject matter makes you uncomfortable

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

One of the great PNW bands of the 90's! Brilliant

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

Better than his first,arrangements are very good. Pleasant garden party music

Suicide

3/5

Just as folk who claim to be cool usually aren't, those who claim to be punk often aren't. Some interesting things here, but mostly not

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

4/5

Henry Mancini and Steven Stills had a baby...

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

There are not many that can swing as hard as the Count
