Oh my god why is every song either a spoken word interlude or 10 minutes, pick a lane.

My Bloody Valentine

4/5

Need to be baked out of my gourd when I listen again but was pretty good while sober.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Pretty good hip-hop jazz rap album

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

Yep that's The Beatles. You can hear the foundations of music in this, it's like hearing proto english

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Funky

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Pretty good American 70s fun times. Hilarious that it's 8 songs but 40 minutes long, Jungleland is like ¼ of the entire album and that's so silly to me.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

What a great album cover first thing, that needs extra points. Crazy Diamond is absolutely peak. I was joking about Born To Run having 8 songs but being 40 minutes long, this feels like it earns it by having a much better vibe. You can really fall into the music and get lost in it. Welcome to the Machine is the weakest point here but even then it's still a decent song.

In Utero

Nirvana

3/5

The vibes are not for me on this one tbh. It's technically good but idk not my bag.

Movies

Holger Czukay

4/5

Very ethereal and strange, but in a good way.

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

3/5

NOT what I was expecting Steve Earle to sound like outside of Copperhead Road. A lot more country than I expected.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

Stupid how good Snoop Dogg is; his meme status is because of this, not despite. Some real bangers here and good interlude moments.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

JAZZ. This is pure undiluted jazz.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

3/5

I'm really not a Kate Bush fan I'm discovering. This album is fine but nothing standout for me. The vibes are just a little strange.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

Not their best work, decent but it's no Let's Groove Tonight or September.

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

3/5

Very 80s, kinda Smiths vibe.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

5/5

Peak 60s. It has White Rabbit so you already know it's a good album but all the songs have good vibes.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Starting with Movin' Out is peak, the rest of the album is pretty decent too

The Doors

5/5

Excellent 60s album, no misses

Black Sabbath

RIP Ozzy. Good album, some strong rock songs and some strong instrumental moments.

2/5

What a strange ethereal album.

Eminem

3/5

Decent album but not really my vibe.

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

2/5

Certainly an album. Not really sure what it was trying to be at any given point.

1984

Van Halen

4/5

Peak, was surprised that every song was a banger.

Chris

Christine and the Queens

3/5

Decent album, very cool to have disc 1 in English and dic 2 in French.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Bangers all the way down.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Excellent 60s country album. Anything with The Windmills Of Your Mind on is automatically good anyway but thi album has enough bangers to stand for itself regardless.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Good vibes

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

3/5

French but actually pretty good.

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

Oh my god why is every song either a spoken word interlude or 10 minutes, pick a lane.

Solomon Burke

3/5

Good 60s vibes

I don't even need to listen to this masterpiece, it's already on vinyl in the collection. Peak

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

3/5

It's good but it's very noise

Thank God this was before they realised they could make 12 minute songs.

Fred Neil

3/5

More 60s stuff.

This Year's Model

Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

Was not in the mood for whatever the hell this was today.

2/5

Not my vibe

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

Peak

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

2/5

Purple Rain

Prince

3/5

Fine. Not what I was expecting Prince to sound like tbf.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

Not their best. Decent tho but I don't see the mass mass appeal. Maybe because it has mass appeal I don't care for it, it's too general.

Fever Ray

1/5

Man this shit stinks. Ethereal in the bad way. Technically technically decent I think but it is also a lot of mid nothing.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

2/5

Kanye moment. It has POWER so that's why it's here. It's fine, but nothing particularly standout otherwise. I just don't like rap I guess.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

Not doing much, just had a worse version of Proud Mary.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Lot of different vibes going on here, definitely some gems though.

Short, good vibes, well made. Not exceptional but by no means bad.

Better than The Dreaming by a long shot.

2/5

Good vibes but nothing particularly stand out

Pretty good hip hop album

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Orchestral good times

Ágætis Byrjun

Another "short number of songs but each song is long" weird album. Nothing bad but I never thought "oh yeah this is a good one"

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

2/5

Oh boy more experimental noise!

Connected

Stereo MC's

3/5

Nice to have like, pop again after a long streak of not having it.

Yeezus

Kanye West

2/5

This is like when kids make the worst soundcloud rap you've ever heard and say "we're getting out the ghetto with this one".

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Definitely a 76 album

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

Good 50s album. Good energy across the whole thing, nothing really bringing it down at all.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

Not outstanding but fine

Guero

Beck

3/5

Finally, something experimental and also good. Some interesting stuff going on in this one. I wish I could rate half stars on this because this isn't outstanding but it is definitely good. 3.5

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

3/5

Sounds like a 90s album my mom would be obsessed with. Technically good but not my vibe

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

2/5

The kind of blues where every sing sounds identical in a bad way

Iron Maiden

4/5

Rock and roll

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

JoJo reference. Decent tho but not that exciting for me.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

Club techno vibes. Honestly better than I expected and locked me into a work trance almost.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Not Queen's best but some good bangers here

Queen II

Queen

3/5

Seven Seas of Rhye is a bop. Not a whole lot else on this one though weirdly. Queen has a lot of bangers but all spread across their albums with a huge backlog of stuff nobody ever talks about.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Great album name. Decent songs

Kimono My House

Sparks

3/5

Fun weird country ish album

Surprised by how this sounded. Pretty good

3/5

It's not Roxxane. Decent otherwise but it's kinda just fine.

69 Love Songs
