Pearl Jam

5/5

Love it. I'm not an Eddy Vedder fan, but this album was pretty important to me for some reason. I got to see Pearl Jam at Red Rocks back in the day. Thanks Chadwick.

1/5

Too bad I can't give it zero stars. I get it, the Beatles were completely revolutionary to a generation. Blah, Blah, Blah. Please make it stop.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

Fantastic.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

It's a very good album. I've enjoyed it since it's release.

Iron Maiden

4/5

8 songs 37 minutes. Has a state college from the 1980s sound. I'm a better person having listened to it. Much better than that "imagine" bs.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

1/5

I tried, but it is just not my thing.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

It's kind of unfair to try and review this album the day after Ozzy died. I like Ozzy better than Black Sabbath. As the name clearly states, Black Sabbath is very dark. Too dark for me.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

2/5

I tried to like the Stranglers back in the 80s. Just not my vibe. Mostly just irritating.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

5/5

I really liked it. This albums is more music forward and less vocal. Great background stuff. I added it to my favorites. I will listen to it again.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

It's fine. I appreciate the artist but it's not my bag.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

It was pretty good.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Fun! Let's review an album I've listened regularly for decades. It's been some time since I tracked the whole thing, however. Hello, old friend!

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

4/5

I liked it. I may never listen to it again, however. 4 stars

OK Computer

Radiohead

2/5

Not quite as bad as I remember. Still not my taste.

Van Halen

5/5

Love it.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

2/5

A little Kate Bush goes a long way.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

3/5

it was ok. I would give it 2.5 stars if I could.

Maxinquaye

Tricky

4/5

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

I don't get it. On the bright side, Bowie left a large catalogue that i do like.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

1/5

It's just not my thing. It's my second iron maiden album I've been force to listen to. The first one was ok, but this album feels like a formulaic money grab. Just another new album every year sort of thing. dull

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

I enjoyed it. Not great, but good.

System Of A Down

2/5

I think this is the wrong album for drinking coffee and watching the sunrise on a beautiful Saturday morning.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Abraxas

Santana

3/5

It was fine.

Common

1/5

Why do rapper have to say nigger all the time?

Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

I'm being generous, giving it five stars. But I like if a lot and was happy to be reminded. Most of Van's albums I find repetitious. This one and Astral Weeks are both vary nice.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Love it. I'm not an Eddy Vedder fan, but this album was pretty important to me for some reason. I got to see Pearl Jam at Red Rocks back in the day. Thanks Chadwick.

A little Duke goes a long way.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

3/5

It was ok. Sort of like Flaming Lips Lite.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

5/5

It's great. It was a very necessary piece of music.

Sea Change

Beck

Very nice.

Achtung Baby

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

2/5

Aretha Franklin is great for about one song in a row.

Among The Living

Anthrax

2/5

Not very good.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

I guess I'm overly familiar with CCR. If any of it were to come on the radio, I would change the channel.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

1/5

I think this band served as an inspiration for Spinal Tap.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

I enjoyed it very much.

I don't understand the hype.

Disraeli Gears

OK boomer.

Armed Forces

4/5

Pretty good.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

3/5

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

I'm pretty sick of CCR.

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

In 1980, when this album came out, there were just too many more interesting bands around for me to get into Priest. 45 years later, there are still too many much more interesting sounds out there.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

5/5

All time great album. From the first time I heard it. Also, Johnny went on to become a roll model for humanity. He loved Nora, married her at 23 and cared for her until her death more than forty years later. There is only one real song about a submarine and it's not the yellow one.

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

As a long time REM fan, this one doesn't really do it for me.
