Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

3/5

It hit my bluegrass / old country spot. Which isn't my go to music. but every now and then I like it.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

2/5

not my favorite Sabbath album but still good.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

One of my favorite Pink Floyd albums

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

1/5

meh, it felt like it was trying to be the cure.

Kala

M.I.A.

1/5

a lot of African beats. but it's very hard to understand what she's saying. Except on the tracks where it's just very repetitive. which has been most of them. Paper Planes is really the only good song off this album. it's not bad. just not my cup of tea. and too repetitive.

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

his best solo album in my opinion. I prefer his Simon and Garfunkel stuff. it's the stuff of legends. and also one of the best concerts I've ever been too.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

1/5

again, trying too hard to be like the cure. But it was the 80's

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

2/5

slow diner party music. or take out the vocals and you have shopping muzak.

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

3/5

Classic punk. It's always good in short bursts.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

1/5

Trying too hard to be an edgier Goo Goo Dolls.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Classic Clapton. or as I call him, the American David Gilmour. whats not to love.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Classic, Classic Classic! Velvety sonic soundscapes that only Jimi could do. The mark of an era. and a shame he was taken away from us at such and early age.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

2/5

Fancy diner music. But Ray Charles voice is timeless.

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

1/5

typical 80's punk. it's clear by the third song. they only know three chord progressions.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

4/5

An early Genesis album. but shows why they had staying power. Symphonic virtuosity.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

2/5

more diner party music. but it's not bad. It's in the same style as Myles Davis Bitches Brew.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

2/5

Classic rock. but sounds a little repetitive. Good in small doses. but not the best of that era.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

The who at their greatest. right off the success of Tommy. Pure innovation.

I Am a Bird Now

Antony and the Johnsons

3/5

not bad. Kinda big band, kinda Elvisy, easy listening. good for background focus music.

The Cars

2/5

Classic late 70's early 80's vibe.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

3/5

Not as good as A Night at the Opera. But it's hard to beat Queen if you're looking for some good old classic rock.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

Love Her Madly, LA Woman and Riders on the Storm. Great, great classic American psychedelic era music.

Ingenue

k.d. lang

1/5

early 90's easy listening musak

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Grunge well before grunge was a thing.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

pure early 60's sound. you can see where outcast got some of it's music. very influential.

Atomizer

Big Black

1/5

mixture of punk and new age. Not that good.

Third

Soft Machine

1/5

MEH

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

2/5

Zappa's always been a very niche musical choice. He was very talented. but just a weirdo.

Joan Baez

1/5

too slow. I know she is important for the folk movement of the 60's. just not my thing.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

4/5

Pioneer of the jazz movement. One of his most experimental albums. but I like Someday my Prince will come and Sketches of Spain better.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Good background music.

Love

Country music automatic no stars.

4/5

classic U2. their best era. that and Rattle and Hum. or Joshua Tree.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

2/5

how she became a thing I don't know, other than she was hot back in the day. she sings off key. and is she pop, punk, rap? who knows. I just know it's not for me.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

You can't ever go wrong with one of the best songsmiths ever.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

What can you say about the boss that hasn't already been said before? Truly unique, America to its core. Honesty in songwriting that is hard to come by. Possibly his best album. all of his music is great. so it's hard to pick the best one.

The La's

1/5

one hit wonders. and then elevator music.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

2/5

A jazz version of the black eyed peas

In Utero

Nirvana

3/5

tie between their best album. but, grunge just really hasn't stood up to the test of time.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul
