John Prine

5/5

I really liked this one. So much so that I was already going to the record store later that day and I bought it. I hate to break it to y'all but "Your Flag Decal Wont Get You Into Heaven Anymore".

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Dusty In Memphis

3/5

One of These Things First is great but the rest were not really memerable to me. I liked it but nothing mind blowing for me

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

I really liked this one. The whole album was great. I loved Spellbound, Monitor, Into The Light. I am going to listen to it again

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

I had a friend in high school who loved this album. I like it but it always reminds me of him. He called it a coke mix. Something about the high pitch guitar noise. Just Like Honey, Sowing Seeds and Inside Me were some of my favorites.

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

3/5

I was looking at the reviews on this site. It took a long time to get one that was neutral. It seems like people love or hate this album. I liked it but thinking about it now the next day. It wasnt really memorable and parts were repetitive.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

This was ok. I have listened before. I never got into Frank Ocean. I wasnt listening very closely

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

I liked it. You oughta know was great. It had a lot of classic songs on it.

The Visitors

ABBA

3/5

this was a different sound than I thought. I thought ABBA was super energetic. I don't remember the disco sound in this one. It was ok.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

I knew this album. I think it was the first one i knew on the list. I had a few friends that really liked him. He is very unique but it was just good

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

3/5

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

Hmm, I guess it just missed me.

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

I did not enjoy this one bit. Want to hear the most annoying sound in the world? Track 1. From the very start it was a no go for me. I have heard of this band before never listened. In the wiki here says "shoegazing" which I like somethings. Not this one.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

I love this album. First one to come up that I own on vinyl. That was fun. I love the whole thing. Love the concept album. I like the story. I love the music. It is great.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

4/5

Really good! It was unique and I thought it was kinda funny. Not a super serious from what I gathered. It seemed just like they were having fun the whole time

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

3/5

I really liked some songs. Others were kinda silly. I don't know Paul Simons work and I only know the hits of Simon & Garfunkel. It was a good listen. Probably wont listen again though. I am glad I did.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

I like this one. I might put it in my iTunes. I didn't know one of the songs was theirs. I liked the alt rock sound. It reminded me of when I was in school. Which was when this album was released. I am not sure how I missed it

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

I liked the album. I liked that it seemed different between each side.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Another one I own on vinyl. #2. I love this album. Its all incredible. I don't know how they are so on time all the time.

S&M

Metallica

3/5

It was good. I never finished it. It was long but I just had a busy day and didn't have time.

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

Very famous songs on this album. 87 i had no idea. Doing this I have learned about the time periods more. It has been very interesting. The highlights for me were the hits. of course

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

I had this already. I remember trying to get into Arcade Fire back in the day and it wasn't hooking me. I really liked this one. I liked this era of music. It was right in my time too. I will have to go back to Funeral and see if it seems better now.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Why does "One Love" remind me of a Persona 5 song? I'm not complaining but something about that keyboard. Very British. It was good. I liked it. Something about it seemed really stereotypical of those early 90s bands. I understand why they call it the first triphop album

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

2/5

British rappers are all similar. I don't get it. It was ok but not my favorite. I don't have any highlights. It seemed like every British rapper i have ever listened too.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Good have not heard this Rolling stones. I listened the US version. I never really read why there were two fairly different releases between the US and UK.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

3/5

It was good I liked it. I had a compilation of their greatest hits a long time ago. Its cool but lots of Brits so far. Loved "This is Music", "On your own", "History" and, "Reprise".

John Prine

5/5

I really liked this one. So much so that I was already going to the record store later that day and I bought it. I hate to break it to y'all but "Your Flag Decal Wont Get You Into Heaven Anymore".

3/5

Listened a few times. I hated the vocals at first but near the end of the album I thought they were great. Good

White Ladder

David Gray

3/5

The hits were good. I enjoyed the album. Now that you tell me Dave Matthews Band is associated with the artist it makes sense.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

Cool album in a language I don't know. Still good. Love the latin sound.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

1/5

The last place I worked had a strict no Oasis or Sublime rule. I'm listening but I am not happy about it. Two tracks in and we were right to ban Oasis.

5/5

You know what I want to hear right? I wanna hear that Wu-Tang joint Bring Da Ruckus comes strong, I blow spots like Waco Texas. I roll with ghetto bastards with biscuits. We on the swarm I don't eat Skip, Jiff or Peter Pan...Peanut butta like my idol Method Man. I smoke on the mic like smokin' Joe Frazier, the hell raiser, raisin hall with the flavor There are so many incredible lines in every single song. Those are some of my favorites that I say regularly. Except the Method Man one is obviously not a quote from the album but from my real life

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes
