Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

All Ratings

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

2/5

Elvis Presley

2/5

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

1/5

I think being inundated with MJ in the early 90's might have skewed my perspective a bit, but while there are some pretty catchy songs on this album, there are some major stinkers on there as well.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Good stuff, nice step up from the previous album, Off the Wall by Pichael Jackson. I did't mind the more ambient stuff at the end.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

Cool stuff, probably was a fun live show.

Rage Against The Machine

2/5

We're going purely by personal ratings here right? The whole rap rock thing just never clicked for me. Plus lots of cusses (jk).

B-52's

The B-52's

3/5

already a step up from the other albums so far... the magic has faded. 3/5

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

I haven't listened to a ton of 70s punk rock, but this feels a lot more palatable than most of what I've heard. Still, I just don't really like music in general so this gets a 3/5.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

3/5

Sounds like a 70s album but definitely a lot better than the average 70s album.

Odelay

Beck

4/5

Gorillaz

5/5

Played the heck out of this one back in the mid 00s, never actually bought the album which I feel kinda bad about now.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

1/5

Might disappoint my dad with this one

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

3/5

Started off super strong, I thought. Sorta overstayed its welcome towards the end.

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

2/5

Got kinda good at the end

Ramones

3/5

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

A couple bangers but the rest didn't do a ton for me.

Signing Off

UB40

2/5

I feel like this would be great music if I lived on a beach. 2/5

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

Super stoked to see Massive Attack on here, was a little confused that it would be this album. Still solid though. I'm assuming this means we'll get Mezzanine as well.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

2/5

I never listened to a ton of The Smiths, figured it was only a matter of time 'til I was hooked. Then I went to see Future Islands at Red Rocks back in like 2015 or something, as they were opening for Morrissey. We stuck around for Morrissey and got to see a compilation of video footage of police shooting people's pet dogs. I guess what I'm trying to say is this might have been rated higher if not for all that. Plus some of the other stuff you hear about him.

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

I heard if you play each studio album by REM over the first season of Friends in order it lines up like Dark Side of the Moon played over Wizard of Oz.

Black Sabbath

4/5

this was rad... that opening song is perfect

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

1/5

What is that awful noise

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

1/5

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

some classic mellow bangers on this one.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

1/5

This nerd got the strokes addicted to heroin?

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

2/5

This feels like parody. It may have been fun to listen to at the time but it hasn't aged well at all. Hard listen if you're not big into punk.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

1/5

I didn't realize how much I hate Bon Jovi until listening to this straight through.

Blur

3/5

I could see blur being one of my favorite bands if I was born 10 years earlier.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

2/5

Thankfully spotify only had 4 of the songs from this album

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

Excited to see some bjork on here

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Nostalgia

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

2/5

Mahalo

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

This album probably would have aged better if thousands of bands hadn't copied their sound creating the now beloved Butt Rock genre.

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Cool stuff, better than I was expecting

Tom Tom Club

4/5

This is probably excellent on drugs

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

5/5

This is why I signed up for this... I have been aware of Orchestral Manoeuvres for quite a while but never really dove in. Fantastic album.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

3/5

Some really good stuff on this album but also what feels like a lot of filler.

Bad Company

2/5

I do not like this

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

This isn't my favorite LCD album but it's still fantastic, and seems to be aging quite well.

Close To The Edge

Yes

5/5

2 in a row??

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

2/5

This is great music for trying to impress your dead grandparents

Common

2/5

Elastica

3/5

This one grew on me

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

2/5

The Doors

3/5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Just rolled my eyes so hard I did a backflip

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

Wow, this just keeps going

Opus Dei

Laibach

1/5

I love ramstein!

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

2/5

Cool moments here and there

Among The Living

Anthrax

1/5

This is hard to listen to

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

2/5

A banger here and there but overall this album didn't do a ton for me

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Starts off very strong. Based off my limited knowledge of him, this feels like the quintessential Neil Young album. Might grow on me.

Trio

Dolly Parton

2/5

I don't know if I'm technically allowed to rate this album considering one of the artists gives my daughter free books. Could be seen as a conflict of interest.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

One of the great progenitors of butt rock (this doesn't make them butt rock, just recognizing that we probably wouldn't have butt rock without them)
