3/5

3rd fav Clash Album. Still pretty good.

Os Mutantes

4/5

The Beatles are the British Os Mutantes

Technique

New Order

I like New Order in general and it has aged well but also half the songs on here sound like "Just Like Heaven" by the Cure and it's taking me out of it.

Is Gimmie Shelter my favorite song ever? Possibly...

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Yes.

Are You Experienced

I like Nick Cave but the background cacophony takes away from what I want to hear - his creepy voice.

Liquid Swords

GZA

4/5

Wu brother number 1 Protect ya neck.

Trafalgar

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

Kimono My House

Sparks

3/5

This sounds to me like someone trying to recreate Ziggy Stardust without Bowie.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

4/5

Pet Shop Boys is funny for me. I want to be a huge fan. I like everything about them and love their hits and find albums like this just ok. I think maybe the problem is me...

Lazarus is one of my fav Bowie songs.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Its probably not Sinatra's fault that by this point his songs have been in a million shitty movies but they sound so bland and commercial to me. And he's an a-hole.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

2/5

Joyless goth Pulp cover band. No thank you, sir.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

2/5

Jaysus what the fuck?

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

My wife and her sisters grew up firmly believing that the song lyrics were "Hold me closer, Tony Danza."

Country Life

Roxy Music

3/5

This album has multiple songs with the same title as other songs I really like but they aren't the same songs at all. Also, they don't make album covers like this anymore.🤨

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

4/5

This is when I realized the Byrds weren't just the world's best Dylan/the Bible cover band, but were also the world's best turn of the century bluegrass cover band.

Rage Against The Machine

3/5

A cultural touchstone that I cant see myself ever listening to again.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

I sometimes struggle with Neil's warrble-y voice and generally prefer his rockers. A classic nonetheless.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

Teenage Riot one of my favorite first tracks ever.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

4/5

Man, I memorized "By the time I get to Arizona". Great PE album. Only gets a 4 because Fear of a Black Planet is a 5.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

So smooth. Everything a guy like Sinatra is not.
