5/5

Front to back dope ass album. Production is top tier. Song writing is top tier. This album could get a release date today and stand up to all the rock revivals productions and annihilate them all.

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

This album was the soundtrack to late teens. Many a drunk nights in clubs and just sitting in my car solo screaming the lyrics, guitar solos and bass lines all by myself!

Front to back this album is perfect. This was one of my go to records when I was in dating mode and I knew a make out session was coming. Many, many, many sexy times to this record.

My Generation

The Who

2/5

The Who gets the 2

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

5/5

Hard to believe some would consider Radiohead a “one hit wonder.” I was lucky enough to catch h them on this tour, hands down one of the most beautiful and energetic live shows I’ve been to. This album holds such a dear spot in my heart. Front to back perfection and a must listen on headphones. So many treats buried in the mix.

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

1/5

Not for me.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Cool album. Couple songs I could do without. I can hear the influence Bruce has had on other artists. Reminds me of a more tame softer Tom Waits. The songs Something in the Night, Streets of Fire and Prove it All Night stand out the most. To much sax.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Wow. I’m familiar with Nilsson’s iconic heart wrenching masterpiece Without You and the banger Coconut. I didn’t skip one song on this record. Great song writing, tasteful use of certain instruments. What a beautiful album. Jump Into the Fire is a banger and I’ll Never Leave You 🤯 Perfect album for a roadtrip playlist.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

5/5

I was familiar Adamson’s work from the Lost Highway soundtrack but never dug into his work before. So stoked this album was suggested. This dude does whatever the fu*k he wants and I’m here for it. Great record.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Not my favorite Pink Floyd album but a masterpiece nonetheless 🙌🏻

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Fun record

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

THIS is my favorite Pink Floyd album. An absolute masterpiece that never gets old. It’s a journey every time I listen. Takes me back to my high school days getting stoned and chilling in my room staring at the glow in the dark stars all over my room. The guitar tones, synths, lyrics EVERYTHING about this record is perfection.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

Whoa! I know idea I was into british folk-rock with a medical twist! These guys are awesome. It amazed me the production value of these older albums, how clear and clean the instruments sound and I love the tight drum sound on these older records.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

This album goes so hard! Gimmie All Your Lovin, , Got Me Under Pressure, Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, Dirty Dog. The mix of synth and dirty guitars is my shit!

Pump

Aerosmith

2/5

Not really an Aerosmith fan but I respect the song writing. Kinda.

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

2/5

Couple cool songs but overall it fell flat. I know they have better albums than this one. It felt like they were trying to hard to be psychedelic or something. Didn’t feel sincere. Kinda boy band vibes.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Dayum! Never sat down with a Yes album before. Top notch musicianship. Tf I’ve been sleeping on these guys! Some really killer breakdowns on this record especially the second half of Perpetual Change. Wtf!!! I also love how normal it was to have a 6 song record that was over 40 mins in the 70s. Rad

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

3/5

Yoooooo!!! This is my kinda shit! Love the trip-hop and electronics genres. This is the type of album I love to listen to while working or cleaning up the house. I would also put this on if I were doing a heist. lol Could’ve done without a couple songs in the record but overall dope.

Black Sabbath

5/5

This album changed my world. My pop bought it for me on cassette tape in 1996 after he took me to see the movie Heavy Metal. Never heard anything like this before and it blew my mind. Every band I was in high school covered Sabbath songs after that. This album is absolutely perfect.

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Bowie is my man. First concert I went to without adult supervision was Bowie. Life changing. Forever grateful for David Bowie. This album fuckin rules. Closing the alum with Fame goes so hard. Epic

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

1/5

I’ve tried multiple times to get into Dinosaur Jr and I just can’t. The guitar tones and production just don’t do it for me. I respect their pioneering and influence they’ve had on other artists and on paper I should love them. But I don’t. Meh

Guitar Town

Infected

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

27 mins of pure musical bliss. Nick Drake got me through some times. Not one skippable song. This album is pure gold.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

4/5

Great record! Nobody does it like Morrissey. It’s funny if you take away his voice the music is whatever but when he sings it’s magic.

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

2/5

First time sitting down with a Primal Scream album. Cool record. I appreciate that they’re not tied down to one genre. Looking forward to checking more out.

S&M

Metallica

Super fun album. Had me dancing around the apt. Stoked to dig deeper into DP’s catalog

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Oh man this record sounds so good. Every instrument cuts through so clean. Drums sound so tight. Mayfields voice and lyrics hit deep! Also the perfect album for a BBQ or a backyard kick it session.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

3/5

My first time sitting down with a Cheap Trick album. Damn they’re bad ass! The guitars are super loud even heavy at times but also Very Beatles-esque. Really enjoyed the songs Big Eyes, Need Your Love, Surrender live sounds so rad.

Imagine

John Lennon

5/5

Not my favorite Lennon album but the fact that Jealous Guy and Imagine are on here makes it a classic must listen.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Great record. Marc Bolan and T-Rex are big but kinda flew under the radar. Big fan

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Oooooooooh shiiiiiiii! Man this album was everything to me when it came out. I was in love with Alanis. I saw her on this tour in 95 at the Greek. Right Through You was always my fave. One thing that I don’t like about this record is the bass tone on a few songs. I can’t stand that funk tone. But overall it’s an iconic album.

Damaged

Black Flag

2/5

Fun listen. Not my thing.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

5/5

Iconic and trailblazing. MBV paved the way for some of my favorite bands. Shoegaze royalty. Although I wish the production was a little more consistent, still an amazing album.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

2/5

Cool listen. Personally I have to be in a certain headspace to listen to this type of stuff. Mad respect though

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

Perfect

Different Class

Pulp

2/5

First time sitting down and listening to a Pulp album. Whole there’s some cool things happening it’s just not my vibe. Stand out tracks are Live Bed Show, Feeling Called Love, Underwear. The second half of the record has some cool moments.

McCartney

Paul McCartney

4/5

Paul has such a special place in my heart. One of the first concerts I ever went to was a PM show. He was my mom’s favorite Beatle. I grew up on Paul and the Beatles. It’s amazing to hear the difference in song writing when these dudes are in love. Paul’s love songs are so beautiful and whimsical whereas John’s were beautiful dark and passionate. Stick out songs for me Every Night, Junk, Momma Miss America, Singalong Junk, Maybe I’m amazed,

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Nick Drake always puts me in the mood I need to be in. It my favorite album but a beautiful work of art.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

2/5

4 songs 41 mins… ah the 70s :) Herbie gets way fuckin down on this album. Great production, tight playing, awesome sounds and instruments used. I really love when synth was incorporated early on. So dope. Fun album. Great for chores around the house or a road trip. Vein Melter is my fave🤘🏻

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Iconic. Some songs are a bit to long for me but overall tho album is a banger. Takes me back to my childhood.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Whoa!!! When that synth hit on Save the life of my child I thought my Spotify was glitching! Legitimately. I always enjoyed S&G when they were on, Bookends solidified my being a fan. What a phenomenal album.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

4/5

I didn’t get into Oasis till much later in life. It started with watching interviews with the boys which are hilarious. Not my favorite Oasis record but iconic nonetheless

Led Zeppelin

4/5

The voice, the guitar, the bass, the drums. Zeppelin fuckin rules. Not a bad song on this album imo. I slept on the song Your Time is Gonna Come, now it’s one of my faves. I can only imagine how many brains melted the first time this shit hit the airwaves

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

3/5

Not my thing but a fun listen.

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

4/5

Yooooo! With a name like The Boo Radleys I would’ve never expected such dope music behind the name. This album rules. Brit-rock, indie, alt-rock, dream pop with touches of shoegaze. The Boo Radleys fukin rule!
