3/5

Very average. I could’ve heard any of these songs walking around the mall.

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

It’s hard to rate genres that aren’t my usual because I don’t think I’ll ever listen to this again, but I didn’t have a bad time listening to it.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Not my favorite Steely Dan, but it’s still Steely Dan

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Really funky and enjoyable

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

A little more soulful and slower than I like my rap usually, but not bad

Play

Moby

2/5

I listened to the two hour version and by the time it was over, I was also over it. Some I really liked, others I had to skip before the song could finish up.

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

30 Days did not need to be that long, but I liked the 80s vibes

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

1/5

Is his throat okay? Is he in constant pain? This sounds a little too forced

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Really jazzy, some songs sounded like Charlie Brown background music which is definitely a plus

War

3/5

I liked it more than I thought I would

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

1/5

Kinda boring and not particularly good, one might even call it bad actually

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Makes me want to go sit in a jazz club, I love brass instruments

Boston

4/5

Obviously a classic with really cool album cover art

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

The year is 2008, I’m on Ms. Angie’s bus headed towards my elementary school, listening to x102.9, Jacksonville’s alternative station

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

I like what they’re doing

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

It was fine as background music, but nothing was a particular standout.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Miley Cyrus did Heart of Glass better, she probably would’ve done them all better, honestly.

Africa Brasil

3/5

I like when the list breaks out of the US/UK bubble

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

I’m sure it’s for someone, but it wasn’t for me.

Black Sabbath

4/5

Really wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. A lot more bluesy and less heavy than I was thinking.

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

This sounded a lot like the Beatles, but without the affection and nostalgia I feel for the Beatles.

Tommy

The Who

2/5

Yeah, I just wasn’t really into this one.

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

2/5

I almost gave it a 3 because it’s 2000’s R&B, but the last few songs were so bad I had to drop it.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

I liked when it sounded like the Pied Piper from Shrek 4

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

Trying to not let my Beatles bias blind me

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

3.5 stars. I like it a lot, until Morrissey just doesn’t stop and then I’m ready for it to be over.

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

I think maybe I don’t understand post punk because I probably would’ve called this brit pop-esque

Violent Femmes

3/5

I definitely would’ve pegged this as a 90’s grunge-ish album, so I guess it’s ahead of its time.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Led Zeppelin

4/5

I like when they sound like Greta Van Fleet

Rage Against The Machine

3/5

I like what they’re going for, but sonically this isn’t my favorite sound

Dire Straits

4/5

Yeah alright, okay, yeah yeah, okay

3/5

Put de lime in de coconut

Illinois

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

4/5

Really solid

Night Life

Ray Price

4/5

I would add any of these songs to my country playlist

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

I don’t think I ever would have pegged any of these songs as country/western, but I would put them down as really good.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

I started out liking it a lot, but eventually I got so tired of Courtney’s voice

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

2/5

Is this hardcore?

Arrival

It’s ABBA, what else can you say?

Synchronicity

The Police

2/5

Mother?? More like oh brother, this guy stinks!! Plus one for the song about the brontosaurus.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

I think the opening title track is its peak, but it doesn’t dip too much from there.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

3/5

I appreciate the global coffee house vibes, but it’s just not really my jam. 2.5 stars.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

He’s not doing Hallelujah like the Shrek soundtrack is doing Hallelujah I’ll tell you that much

Blur

3/5

It was fine

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

3/5

2.5. Songs don’t need to be over 5 minutes long tbh

Pavement

3/5

It was fine, I’m feeling jaded by daily rock albums.

They’ve tainted my love… idk I tried

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

Irish punk folk

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

2/5

I just feel like a live album is never the best showing from any artist, even artists I really enjoy.

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

I had never listened to The Cure before so I don’t know what I was expecting, but it was okay

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

I liked this more than the last Kinks album for sure, but I’m just too Beatles pilled to listen to other 60s British groups and not compare them

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

3/5

That second one started and I thought an ad had started on my Spotify, it was just great mobile ad music

Pretenders

3/5

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

I had heard of Elvis Costello, but I don’t think I expected him to sound like (derogatory)

Sade

3/5

Smooth operator is a banger, but I just wasn’t in the mood for the rest of it, which is more on me than Sade.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

The 13 minute song was actually my favorite one

Debut

Björk

3/5

Better a second time around

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

Where did the wonderwall meme come from ?

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

I also have the 21st century breathing down my neck I kind of hate Morrissey’s voice, but I like everything else about the Smiths, but you can’t really separate the two because it does kinda work sometimes 3.5 stars rounded down.

Hounds Of Love
