Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

classic, knew some of the hits already. not my favorite flavor of pop

The Cars

3/5

ts is NOT timeless. synthy riffs are awesome esp on just what i needed and you’re all i got tonight bye bye love has a great guitar riff every other phrase. good vocals and instrumentation

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

the instruments change up from track to track which is nice. specifically sometimes piano sometimes keyboard/organ sound sometimes both. crazy spread of time signatures like only 3 in 4/4 not to say that affects my ranking much. that bari sax😩 whoever on piano is amazing (it’s spooner oldham i looked it up played with bob dylan and linda ronstandtz too apparently) my fav part of the album is “they all come true” part on dont let me lose this dream descant in baby baby baby is bad and so are the backing vocals in dont let me lose this dream. i dont like good times. really good vocal and instrument performances except mentioned above. the bossa nova song doesnt have claves☹️

Buena Vista Social Club

4/5

consistent, tight harmonies. the guitar (american guy named ry) gives that sweet traditional cuban sound flawlessly. all the vocalists are pretty freaking awesome. trumpet is solid.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

😩😩😩 I just love neil young so much he’s my goat.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

i don’t like spaced cowboy. i do like the rest of the record though it’s pretty groovy

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Liked the live album format more than i expected. pretty freakin legendary performance. such a tight set.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

2/5

im a big fan of the drum groove on al tchere bele and the shimmery guitar riff sound throughout but esp jolie. sounds a little too mich like home depot jingle.

Electric

The Cult

2/5

i certainly wasnt in the right headspace to listen to this today. i think i only either like metal or soft rock. pick a side bro.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

pretty enjoyable listen. lots of filler its seems but some of the somgs i hadnt heard before were great.

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

2/5

sounded fun to play, but not so much to listen to.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

5/5

‘Pyramid song’ might be my favorite Radiohead song. ‘I might be wrong’ might be my favorite Radiohead song. ‘Knives out’ might be my favorite Radiohead song. ‘Morning bell/Amnesiac’ might be my favorite Radiohead song. ‘Dollars and Cents’ might be my favorite Radiohead song. Anyways I really like radiohead and this album is quite good. easy 5/5

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

freaking wierd

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

3/5

the second half of the forst track was lame. dirty little girl was just worse benny and the jets + some discomfort. the rest of it was pretty solid stuff eh? actually no it falls off after dirty little girl.

Bert Jansch

3/5

its hard to mess up folk i also think its hard to get it perfect. as far as fold goes this is pretty legit.

Cross

Justice

5/5

alr frick you guys. this album was an absolute blast to listen to. on par with discovery for sure. my middle school music taste and nothing has changed. jacob its onteresting you say video game background music because i was playing cuphead whilst indulging. didnt fit very well with the theme but a solly coincidence perhaps. the repetitive sound of the music makes it easy to listen to and who needs thought provocation when you dance? not me. anyways this album is an instant classic for me. perhaps goat status??

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Booya. thouroughly enjoyed this listen. each song had a unique riff that made the album not drag at all even though each song is kinda long, many of the songs have unusual form so it mixes things up.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

I can’t stand girl but the rest is pretty good song writing and not that annoying. i think this is the first beatles album i’ve actually listened to.

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

3/5

not sure if i’m a fan. i like the singing parts and i don’t like the rapping parts because it’s just outdated flow.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

2/5

i spaced out

The Doors

4/5

so outdated it’s cool again.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

1/5

aggghhh i did not like that. i feel bad it’s just the raps aren’t good and the beats aren’t good and it’s too long. every song she’s just talking about how she’s queen latifah, a black female emcee who’s produced by king ramsey. 1/5

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Marvin, so much is going on and a lot of it is not so good, but you keep a cheery disposition through it all. Every song is upbeat and sounds happy, even if the lyrics are serious and I wouldn't want it any other way.
