Low

David Bowie

3/5

Love Bowie, album is solid, but definitely not my favorite of his. Realistic rating of 3/5

Blur

4/5

Can hear the influences and the contemporaries of Blur throughout the album. Certainly an album that embodies the 90s British rock/punk sound.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

5/5 Some of the best rock songs ever written on this album with some in-between songs that showcase Jimi's wild and wonderful mind.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

5/5

Will continue to reach for some of these tunes. Tiny Dancer is just the tip of the beautiful iceberg that is this album.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

Very angry album with a lot of heavy emotions. Not my personal go-to style of music, but I can appreciate it. Some iconic songs on here. After reading some more history about the album, it’s clearly a controversial album (not atypical of Trent Reznor). It raises the question “if art inspires individuals to commit acts of violence, should the art be made?”

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

2/5

Never got into Eminem when I was younger. Definitely a slice of nostalgia of that era, but not my cup of tea, even if it's a "shock, but just kidding" style of album.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

4/5

Love it. Legends. But too much album for a 1001 album list 😄

Drunk

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

3/5

Strong - Wildfires is an excellent song. Would come back for a handful of songs, but not for the album.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Scott 4

Scott Walker

2/5

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Loved this album when it came out. Still love it today.

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

3/5

Incredible voice, but hard to appreciate the nuance without knowing the language. Would give it a shot with subtitles I guess.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

Too big an album to give it a thorough listen, but this is reminiscent of my childhood with a mother who sang these songs. Not to mention the fact that she's an incredible voice of a generation. 4 only because it needs to be chopped down to one album (which is PLENTY to get Gershwin)

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

5/5

The Stone Roses

4/5

evermore

Taylor Swift

4/5

Love her or hate her, she writes a ton of songs that are above average/good/great. Could listen to this album often and enjoy it each time. Not 5 stars, but a very solid 4.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Pretenders
