Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

3/5

I like Dylan's writing, but that harmonica noodling is just too much sometimes.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Lyrics didn't age well. Dang, those guitar tones. Just some good-ass rock and roll.

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

Not something I have ever heard before, and I'm not sure I'd seek it out in the future, but it's fun and cool.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

I've played "Irish Rover" at least 500 times, and I still love it; great to dig in deeper to the Pogues canon. PS: What the hell is "Worms"?

Boston

5/5

Quite a bit more butt rocky than I remembered (esp. "Rock & Roll Band"), but such a great album—very fun to be taken back to that first batch of CDs my dad got from Columbia House.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Classic, legendary voice, and a sad story about her dying during production—but ultimately this is not really for me. PS: Some great guitar leads tucked in there!

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

4.5 songs was enough. Not for me.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Great to hear some of the non-hits, and also the extended version of "Living for the City."

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

I pretty much missed this when it was new, but it feels absolutely right to the time, and I dig it.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

Wow this sounds a lot like college, even though I never consciously sought it out.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

1/5

No thank you.

Garbage

3/5

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

So chill

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

3/5

I probably would love this if I had encountered it in 1993, but I didn't.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Very dreamy

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Super fun and cool! Wish I'd known of this at the time.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

what if the beach boys were moody?

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Never listened before, and I think Spinal Tap ruined stuff like this for me; I just can't take it seriously.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

So many classic funk phrases that I didn't know originated here—and great to hear Maceo working his magic.

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

4/5

Killer guitar tones and classic rock sensibility right in the middle of the '90s—how have I never heard of this guy?

Damaged

Black Flag

3/5

I prefer the later Henry Rollins stuff that was a little less rough around the edges, but this was cool to hear for sure.

Tical

Method Man

3/5

Again, sounds kinda like college—respect, but not really on my radar, not really for me.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Pretty cool rock and roll (classified in its day as heavy metal, haha), but I don't think I'd go back and listen.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Recognizable Marley sound, but with a harder political/social commentary edge—I like it.

Os Mutantes

3/5

This is some wacky shit—fun! but wacky.

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

2/5

I really do not think this was made for me, so I stopped after three songs.

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

See note on Black Sabbath: I think I was just exposed to jokes about this kind of music before hearing the music itself, and I can't un-hear those when I listen.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Classic Stevie, what is there to say?

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

Now we're talking

Roots

Sepultura

1/5

No thank you

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

Such cool, classic sounds; it still sounds fresh and new today.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Pretty cool sound, and the one big radio hit is fun, but not really anything to write home about IMO.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Wild stuff, can hear the influence on Trey for sure.

Suede

2/5

Definitely sounds of my time, but it's too far on the melodramatic side of alternative (yet without the sonic charm of The Cure) for me to enjoy very much.

Van Halen

3/5

It's just so silly

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

Top 10 album of the '90s for me

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

3/5

It's fine, but I felt nothing

Appetite For Destruction
