Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

1/5

I'm convinced that the people who claim they like this album really don't and are just trying to be counter-culture. Listening to this is like staring at a piece of art in a studio and convincing yourself the banana taped to the wall is brilliant. This is very hard to listen to and even harder to enjoy.

Lost Souls

Doves

2/5

Definitely not my style of music.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

Nirvana isn't my favorite Grunge band by a long shot, but this album in its entirety is very enjoyable.

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

Ugh probably my least favorite post-grunge band.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

5/5

Now we're talking. Maybe one of the most influential albums in my lifetime. Completely.reshaped my musical taste. I need a 6th star for this album

Iron Maiden

3/5

Solid and raw. I liked it.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

I don't think I've listened to a Talking Heads album in its entirety. Very enjoyable and ahead of their time.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

1/5

Odelay

Beck

4/5

I've always enjoyed Beck, though his lyrics seem like he is trying too hard to be irreverent. But I always like the tempo of his albums and how he always brings something unique to his songs.

2112

Rush

5/5

One of the greatest albums ever made. From deep and thoughtful lyrics to amazing riffs and tempo changes, 2112 has it all. One of the most influential albums of my lifetime, and prog rock at its absolute best. 2112 is a must-listen, and I'm glad I was able to dive in again. 6 stars!

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

1/5

Well, this just sucked. It's like my 5 year-old nephew got a hold of my Casio and a mic and pumped out some random sounds. Then a studio turned it into an album and people pretend to like it because it makes them feel cool and different. News flash: it's terrible.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

4/5

This was a cool listen. I knew the tune from The Exorcist but I had no idea it was an album first. Research led me to some interesting info. Very different and enjoyable.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

Interesting album. I like some ELP but this isn't exactly up my alley. But I can definitely enjoy the talent and skill involved in making this album.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

I don't hear or know much about blues, but after hearing this album I should. This was a great listen. Ebjoyed it.

Damaged

Black Flag

2/5

Well this definitely had some great energy. Not exactly my style but I enjoyed the edginess.

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

2/5

Never heard of this artist, but I didn't hate it. Solid album.

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

1/5

Definitely something I wouldn't choose to listen to in the future. Hard pass on the hard synth.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

4/5

This is why I like new (to me) music. This album here. Upbeat, relevant, and meaningful. I really dug this. Never heard of them or the songs, but I will definitely listen again.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Hmmm, I generally like this type of music. But I can't get past the fact that Leonard Cohen can't sing. This sounds like what it might sound like if I sang these songs. The songwriting is interesting, but I can't take the lack of voice. Pretty unenjoyable overall.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

This is a great listen. I really love the former Beatles member's work post-Beatles more than their group stuff. Which is saying a lot considering how groundbreaking the Beatles were. But Paul and Crew are so creative and tight on this album, and I love the lyrical work as well. Just a top notch album.

The Visitors

ABBA

4/5

Solid album. Not as fun and bubbly as their previous stiff. Maybe a more mature version of themselves.
