All Ratings

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson

I am shocked by how cool this album is! Very experimental, but also funky? Some of the tracks come off straight up disturbing. Having finished this album, I loved it! Very funky, very weird, very experimental. I can't believe I'd never heard this guy before.

Sea Change by Beck

I love this album. I've loved it since the day it came out.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

Great album, though not as good as Velvet and Nico. It's refreshing listening to simple music, especially in this day of over produced nonsense. Lou Reed's voice is still spectacular

Revolver by Beatles

What's there to say about this album?

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears

This is the first real dud I've gotten from this list. It's very 80s and not in a good way. Really, the album is just saved by Head Over Heels. Without that track, I can't really think why anybody would consider this even a very good album, much less one of the greatest. I've always found Shout to be a really annoying pop song. The Working Hour is ok, but it really just reminds me of a worse version of the Cure. Everybody Wants to Rule the World is an ok pop song, but very cheesy. Even Head Over Heels, which I said was the saving grace of the album, is still pretty meh. Worst thing about this album is how LONG all the tracks are! Everything is at least five minutes!

Be by Common

My Generation by The Who

1989 by Taylor Swift

I just don't get it.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Hendrix is an amazing guitarist, but it's all just very dated.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre

Very fun.

Nowhere by Ride

While revolutionary for its time, I think other bands have done the same things better. Still a fun listen, though. Just not something I can see myself going back to regularly.

Smile by Brian Wilson

It's an interesting artifact, but honestly, sometimes experiments don't really work. It's very piecemeal, jarring, and strange.

The Bends by Radiohead

So many good tracks on this album.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes

This is very fun. Strange, great weird instrumentation, awesome vocals.
