I'm surprised by my high rating if this album. The interlude and final track are responsible for moving this from a 2 to a 3

Blue by Joni Mitchell

There's a lot to love about this album. Joni's voice, though impressive and befitting a rainy summer cottage, isn't something I want to listen to regularly. 4.5 stars for personal vocal preferences.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice

Maybe the most fun sounds to open an album. If it were all instrumental I'd say this is 3 star lobby music, but the lead vocals do not do it for me. I Can't Help Myself is pretty fun.. but none of the songs really dare to become a great time overall.

The Score by Fugees

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Pretty awful start. Some good songs though. Fuck shit up and Can't stop. Guy reminds me of Jim Morrison, but the lyrics aren't anything and the mix is quiet for vocals. Some good rock noise but also some pretty painful sounds. Probably won't ever revisit.

The Bends by Radiohead

Maximum ennui

Odessa by Bee Gees

A good mix. Not memorable for me.

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Van Halen by Van Halen

Just a fun album. Great vocals and noodling. Too similar to Spinal Tap and too many covers to warrant a higher rating

Drunk by Thundercat

Wicked base - just not enough of it

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) by Loretta Lynn

Lovely voice. Boring band. Unwholesome lyrics wrapped in conservative music. What Johnny Cash did for Hurt, maybe NIN could do for Loretta Lynn's backing band.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream

Feels like a very long intro to a song like Kuiper by Floating Points, but it never gets anywhere. I guess that's the true ambient genre - one you have to already be in the mood for. I was not. I guess the history lesson is nice. 1974! Berlin's been weird a long time. But if history is the reason to listen, then the first album recording wolf howls better be on here.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

Every song is a winner. A song about an architect that is just as comforting and unique as the buildings themselves? Amazing.
