3/5

great music but the vocalist pulls me out of the experience

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

4/5

Wow - punk well before punk was a thing

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

There are some some really powerful tracks here that show a diversity of influences and there are some self-indulgent tracks on the deluxe version.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

5/5

Thank you for reminding me of this great album

Is This It

The Strokes

2/5

A really tedious listen with the constant droning guitar chord

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

A Seat at the Table

Solange

5/5

Really great concept album with rich vocals

Spiderland

Slint

4/5

Awesome deep sounds that are kinda grunge but more clear. I see this a a potential soundtrack for a neo-western movie.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

Even though the album runs 39 minutes there is lots of music here. The Pixies are able to convey a real sonic landscape in a compressed manner.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Great voice and gone too soon.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

4/5

Great mellow album that has hints of other British bands.

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

Kinda of OK for that genre of electro dance pop but not my personal fav.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Good album and other collected works - I am not that familiar with Afro-beats and this is a nice addition to my rotation.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Great album where the original is improved by a remaster where vocals are more balanced the rest of the music.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

Near perfect production value on this album - I use this album (LP) to test out new speakers and amps.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

Risque

CHIC

4/5

Might be the pinnacle of this genre and the bridge to funk.

One of my top five favorite albums

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Hate this guy and his music

4/5

Very focused album that while the production level is high and musicianship is strong the overall range of songs seems scattered.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

I could listen to this several times in a month and it would still be fresh and relevant.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

2/5

Not really my cup of tea

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Fantastic work

Garbage

4/5

Forgot how much I liked this album. Yes, it fits into the grunge era but is more varied and intelligent than some other music of that time.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

One of the best Americana (NOT C&W) of the 20th century.

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

5/5

Really iconic - cannot believe this was made in 1957.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

You have to listen to this at the correct volume - too low and the vocals are muddied and too loud the guitars overwhelm everything.

Unique sound that is heavy on the bass and mixes R&B sounds with progressive jazz.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

When I first saw the name and the cover it was familiar but could not recall any music from this album. Once I got two songs in I was hooked and toward the end I remembered the song Hero. Honestly did not want the album to end.
