Eagles

4/5

It was good. I don't listen to 70s music often, but I had fun with some of these tracks. (7.5/10)

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

5/5

Super Fun! The samples are used great with the beats, and the middle of this album shines. Midnight in a Perfect World is the perfect song. 9/10

Urban Hymns

The Verve

5/5

Pretty Great record. Love the iconic opening, and the other standouts

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Pretty good. Had highlights like velouria, allison, and all over the world among a few others. 8/10

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

A masterpiece and a bittersweet goodbye. Weird in Bowie fashion, yet very human

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Super Fun! Really great stuff and a nice listen.

Fragile

Yes

5/5

Pretty fun album. Underrated imo. My first time hearing the work of Yes, so I'll be delighted to hear more here.

Smile

Brian Wilson

4/5

RIP legend. Found myself cracking quite the smile with some tracks here

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

2/5

The voice is good, but the writing lacks and most of these tracks go on for way too long

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

Very camp and a lot of fun. I like the sound here and I look forward to hearing more from this artist

No Other

Gene Clark

3/5

It was charming. Some good songs in the beginning, but it fizzled out near the end. Not the worst thing ever though

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Big electronic guy, so i had fun with this one. Kinda reminded me of aphex twin

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

2/5

I wish I liked this more. It started good, but lost my intrest as it went on

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

If someone told me this was their favorite album, I would trust them. Has insane potential to grow on me also

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

5/5

Perfect Indie Rock record

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Can I Kick It?

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

3/5

Charming enough, i found a gem or two here

Blue

Joni Mitchell

5/5

One of the best singer-songwriter albums to ever exist

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

It was a fun time, but it could have been more memorable. Probably gonna grow on me later though

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Not as good as can't buy a thrill, but it had some charm left in it

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Not to bad for it's time, but nothing to note worthy. It's a fine tune

Follow The Leader

Korn

3/5

Edgy, camp, and pretty fun. The best songs were in the first half, though

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

JIMIIIIIIIIIIII what a voice. This sounds like something made 10 years after it was released

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

This album is pretty sweet. The problem is that it's too long. The best way to listen is with split listening, which makes me wish this album were split into two. But despite the length, Ella's voice is sweet and makes for cute tracks.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

Sad story behind this album, but the beats are great and the heart is big

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

2/5

Kinda boring 80's synthpop. Nothing special, but it made tolerable background music.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

4/5

Moody and Intimate, Nico's voice weaves a nice listen to sit down and drift away too

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

a little forgettable, but made for decent background noise

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

It's fine, but not something I would consider returning too soon. The first song is pretty good, and I liked the last two.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Hard not to find simple enjoyment from this. A pretty decent record

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

Starts out very well with two amazing songs. annnnd the rest is fine. He really loves a song with blues in the title huh. it was great and then it turned into a neil young album

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

3/5

At first i thought it was Britpop trash, but it has its moments behind strange writing

Garbage

3/5

Misleading title

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Super charming and i can't really hate in ray charles

Joan Armatrading

3/5

Joan has a fun style and I like the writing, but I don't see myself coming back. Good for what she offers, though

Paris 1919

John Cale

4/5

Very timeless feel. I'm sure something important happened in 1919

Black Sabbath

4/5

RIP. I was never the biggest Black Sabbath fan, but I enjoyed them

Stardust

Willie Nelson

5/5

Beautiful Sound. Cold nights are starry and warm here

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Just Fun. Bang a gong is just random though

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

"There is no dark side in the moon really Matter of fact, it's all dark"

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

3/5

A consistent vibe

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

2/5

Sylvia is amazing and glory days is good. Too bad I had to listen to the rest of the album to get there

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

3/5

Took a while to get started, but once it does it's great

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Haunting and Quiet. His voice is very deep, yet soft, and it's a sad farewell

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

3/5

Tons of humor from cash and charm to warrant a decent recording and what sounds like a fun time

Beautiful Freak

Eels

5/5

Beautiful writing and some amazing, sad tracks. It almost feels like a small narrative with each song, and the final track was perfect

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

Fascinating Vocals and some good songs, but that's it

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Wonderful cover, ok songs. Not my usual style, but it was a good listen

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Pure Fun. Peak of it's era

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

That last song was amazing. The rest is fine, but not a bad folk rock entry

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

3/5

Super fun. I'll probably return to this one

The Cars

4/5

Dad music, but it's actually good

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

Good Rock with a nice first half, and a decent but middling second half

The World is a Ghetto

War

2/5

I loved city, country, city. The rest was fine, though. The lyrics calling out the nation and it's ghetto acts was a nice listen, but i didn't stick with me to much.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

Sweet voice. Nice atmosphere. Delivers on the name

Pyromania

Def Leppard

3/5

Pretty Exciting Stuff. Love the cover, and wouldn't mind hearing more of them

4/5

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned
