Joanna Newsom

4/5

As Andrew said, "I was waiting to get bored but never did." Each one of Joanna Newsom's songs on Ys go through a fantasy-esque quest, weaving intricate harp and orchestral lines with vivid and substantial lyrics.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Not something I'd actively seek out to listen to, but it's an iconic album of the era. Well produce, strong arrangements, great vocal performance. For what it is, it's solid.

The Next Day

David Bowie

1/5

This sounds exactly like a rock star in stuck 20+ years in the past trying to modernize their sound and missing the mark big time. It's just so cheesy.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

5/5

I was surprised to learn that this album was released in 1977 because I have "Psycho Killer" on my 80's playlist. I wonder if David Byrne knew that this was ahead of its time and drew attention to that fact with titling it with its release year. Anyway, it capture such an iconic sound and vision, and the songs themselves are fun, and accessible.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

I need a few more listens with the lyrics to really understand this album, but I enjoyed it. My only issue is that the mixing sounds a bit hollow, like an instrument is missing in most songs.

Femi Kuti

3/5

The 90's smooth jazz influence isn't really my thing, but I still got into the groove of this album

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

I didn't realize how much Carole King I knew already. A lot of bangers on here. Cool baselines. Memorable vocal melodies without it being too generic.

Atomizer

Big Black

1/5

I can't. It was just too many abrasive noises on top of each other, and so repetitively. And this, coming from a man who has enjoyed Bastard Noise.

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

1/5

A bit of a relic of its time. I wasn't into then and I'm not into it now.

Purple Rain

Prince

3/5

Some decent stuff here. Some risks were taken. Some nuts apparently busted. A little too pop-py though.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

2/5

It started off somewhat boring, imo, and then got worse in the middle. Some good riffs here and there, but at what cost?

S&M

Metallica

2/5

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

Joan Armatrading

5/5

Sick as fuuuuck

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Definitely need to be in the right mood for 12 minute funk/jazz fusion songs, but this album is perfect for those times.

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

3/5

You have to imagine being a kid in the 90's for this album to work.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

5/5

Love the bass line on Happy Feelin.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

I wish they had adapted the songs for an acoustic set rather than just play them regularly, but on acoustic guitars and drum brush.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

This style of music will just never be my thing. It was pleasant enought though

Play

Moby

2/5

This kind of music will never do it for me. Beats for the sake of dancing without much substance.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

3/5

Inconsistent

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

Too Nashville for me, but there are some surprising parts that kept me in it. Not bad, not great.

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

Pretty bland overall, but not bad

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

1/5

Really disappointing, considering how much I like Karma Chameleon

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

2/5

Got better in the latter half once it got more upbeat.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

It wasnt great, but it has a cool vibe

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Some surprisingly good melodic parts brought down by the horribly annoying singles.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

It's too much bongo for one sitting

Black Monk Time

The Monks

5/5

Way ahead of its time, cool beats, cool backstory and lyricism.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

I'll need to remember this album to put on if I ever get to have sex again.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

The softer stuff on this album is the best, but i just can't stand bar rock.

The La's

3/5

It kept my interest, but it didnt do much for me

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

3/5

The production on this is a lot better than their more popular stuff, but the voices are still not that enjoyable

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

2/5

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Decent, but I'm not really feeling it.

Arular

M.I.A.

2/5

Got a bit bored of the repetition, but some of the riffs are cool.

Transformer

Lou Reed

1/5

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

1/5

The synth instruments, the odd choice of making a soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist, the added sound effects that are completely without context. It was a strange one.

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

1/5

Cabaret should stay in cabaret.

Os Mutantes

5/5

Cool stuff. Not great background music, but I'd listen again.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

It was well done, and in small doses it's fine. Just not my jam typically.

Ramones

3/5

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

5/5

Loved every second.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

1/5

It's a wonder that The Rolling Stones is remembered to this day.

Music

Madonna

1/5

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

I might have lost my shit for this in the 60s.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

I appreciate it for what it is, but I'm not a big fan of punk.

The Score

Fugees

5/5

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

Just so boring. And what the fuck is up with the lyrics? The adoration is all surface level so that it comes off a bit creepy.

Dirty

Sonic Youth

3/5

Way inconsistent, and the vocals are offputting

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

Was skeptical, but it was actually pretty good. Might try it again after a few too many edibles

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

A bit bland, but not bad

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

3/5

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

3/5

This would be a 4 if all the songs were 2 minutes shorter.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Better than the first Neil Young album I heard from this list, but the cool parts aren't consistent

The Undertones

3/5

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)
