A Rush Of Blood To The Head
Coldplay
Low 4 for me. The familiarity of the singles makes the album pretty meh—a 3, but the good songs are really good. “God Put A Smile…” & “Daylight”. Also when that guitar comes in on “AROBTTH”, the song becomes unboring.

Grace
Jeff Buckley
Strong 4. Might become a 5 after all these years. The slowwww songs kill the vibe for me. Fave song is definitely “Grace”!! “Dream Brother” is right behind that.

It's Blitz!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I really like “Zero” & “Heads Will Roll”, but the rest was while musically interesting, lyrically boring. Too much repetitive for me. I didn’t love the album, but I’d buy the two singles.

Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce Springsteen
Absolutely horrific & boring!!!! No redeeming qualities!

Vol. 4
Black Sabbath
Surprisingly listenable & not overly heavy for metal. I liked the album as a whole. Would probably listen to “Changes” as a single or the album as a whole.

The Man Machine
Kraftwerk
Definitely can tell how they influenced so many artists. Could listen to as background music, but I enjoy the newer artists more.

Is This It
The Strokes
I’m not a big punk fan. I can appreciate the album, but it’s not really for me. I did like “Alone, Together” most of all the songs.

Thriller
Michael Jackson
I don’t wanna rate this 3, so it gets a 4. Also classic. You can’t beat “Beat It”.

Duck Rock
Malcolm McLaren
Wow. Totally bizarro. Half early rap, half kid-like, & half artsy Technasia. Enjoy that math. lol Also not for me but not Bruce Springsteen bad.

Not as good as a whole as I remembered but still good.

Third
Portishead
It’s ok. Not the best or worst. I’d relisten. Trying too hard to sound cool in some songs.

The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
Hits differently once you have lost the one who loved it. Not my favorite Floyd album but an absolute classic nonetheless.

Parklife
Blur
I've always thought of myself more of an Oasis fan than Blur, with the occasional catchy tune, a couple from each album or so. (See my music collection for only owning Blur's greatest hits.) I think this is the first entire album I've listened to of theirs. Besides the kitschy tunes here & there, it's a solid album. Favorite songs I've never heard prior to today are "London Loves" & "Trouble In The Message Centre". Solid 4/5.

Super solid. Super lush. Super good.

Music From Big Pink
The Band
I didn’t expect to like this…and I didn’t. Having said that, I don’t mind “The Weight” & “This Wheel’s On Fire”. Funnily enough, I liked the first outtake song after the regular album just about more than all the other songs! “Yazoo Street Scandal” It’s definitely better than Springsteen.

Van Halen
Van Halen
I of course know a lot of Van Halen, but I don’t believe I’ve ever listened through an entire album of theirs. We all know EVH is a guitar god. Listening through proves that. The guitar is part of the entire narrative of the music. It all makes sense when you listen. That guitar has its own life. lol This was quite enjoyable.

Hot Rats
Frank Zappa
Ahh, Mr. Zappa. I really wanted to like this Hot Rats album, but it sounded like a lot of noise tonight. I can hear how it is musically complex. I appreciate it, but today I don’t luv it.

Damaged
Black Flag
This was a steaming pile of trash. I believe I have heard part/all of "TV Party" before. I would literally be that mother asking their kids, "What in the world is that noise you're listening to?" if my kids dared to listen to it. (Not their taste either.) I just don't get the entire punk thing. I have never wanted to rebel in that sense. I was and will forever be human and need to be loved, just like everybody else does.

The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground
Wow. I just finished mushy banana music album. This doesn't speak to me in any way. My brain feels like it just came off a trip, if I knew what that felt like. I can get how it was important at the time, but I'm not a fan of the hipster poet music.

Violent Femmes
Violent Femmes
God, this is so boring. I didn’t like it back in the 80s when my friends did & definitely not now. Blister In The Sun is alright, but that’s about it.

Behaviour
Pet Shop Boys
It’s fine for background music if you don’t have to actually listen to it. I love the first PSB album. This I didn’t. It was decidedly meh.

Had a hard time stomaching the first song. Next few songs were fine. At “Lorelei”, I started enjoying it a little more.
