An absolute banger album by a band I haven't heard of before.

2/5

Loved the album art and some of the beats .... but not really my kinda music.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Ehh. I like No More and Walk this way and some of the more bluesy stuff but felt very milquetoasty.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

1/5

It's just some guys yelling over a drum machine and some lyrics are pretty weird.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

2/5

Inoffensive, the guy can really play but still better as a part of a larger group.

Sunshine Hit Me

The Bees

3/5

Was really mellow and a bit meh until "A Minha Menina" which I quitte enjoyed! The rest of the album was still not very interesting to me though.

Damaged

Black Flag

1/5

I like punk in general, and i get that this album was significant in the development of punk, ... but i just didn't enjoy it.

Ramones

4/5

Love the Ramones, but the end of the album did feel a little repititive.

Paul Simon

5/5

I have never listened to Simon alone, but turns out that I am now a Paul Simon fan.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

2/5

The Band? More like they can go pound sand. Ok, the album wasn't bad, but kinda bland. It didn't make me feel that grand.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

5/5

WOW, Dolly is really amazing at this thing, huh?

Vulnicura

Björk

1/5

Björk can fo björk right off. Not enjoyable.

Pelican West

Haircut 100

3/5

Don't hate it. Fairly generic britpop but the horns get jazzy.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Woah, all Drakes are problematic.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

3/5

5/5

Weezer-coded

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

Didn't really get it.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Amazing album art, but two great songs does not a great album make.

More Specials

The Specials

2/5

Typical bouncy reggae. Nothing Specials.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

The Boss ain't all that, but not a bad album.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

5/5

Guy who can't sing for shit but makes great music be like: l'm Bob Dylan

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

Nicky Cave with another album save

Meat Puppets II

Meat Puppets

4/5

Loved the guitar and the country punk.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

The songs are fun but don't pay attention to the lyrics or the main singer wanting to fuck you throughout.

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

5/5

Simply a great album. Pretty distinct from contemporary bands and loved the meaning and the theme of CTA.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

1/5

Nah, started off pretty well but lost interest over time. Guy sucks big time too.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

3/5

Fun but I think Fatboy Slim did ut better

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

3/5

1984

Van Halen

3/5

Unbelievable guitars, but the vibe of Pump it up rock is overplayed.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

2/5

Liked it personally but took an effort to really enjoy it.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

It's crazy how many songs I have heard before are covers from this album, a great listen. Nothing to add to a daily or weekly rotation though.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

Loved the Netflix Special, Johnny!

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

4/5

Not an album save but the first couple of songs are pretty awesome.

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

4/5

Feels like 80s hiphop mashed with pop. Really enjoyed the entire vibe! No real standout songs though.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

I don't even need to finish this (in anger) to rate this. Absolute bangers.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Kinda cool but nothing really pops out from the vocals. Just feels like people jamming together. Layla is still good though.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

Would be great for a Fallout game or smth. Or just casual listening. Not really what I wanted this morning.

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

2/5

Unfortunately, wasn't ready to funk it.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

5/5

Omg, just ger voice and the piano almost brought me to tears. This goes crazy!

Dire Straits

4/5

I am conflicted. I like most of the songs in the album, however I just don't find the music very interesting or hearty for the soul. Still an awesome album.

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

I really love Santana and the great Latin jazz vibes they bring in.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

3/5

I didn't know that to fuse different genres, you could just play multiple songs/pieces of different genres in the same track and call it a day! Still an enjoyable mish-mash stew of music, I suppose.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

So goddamn groovy. Couldn't really get into it without busting out a jig or two.

No Other

Gene Clark

4/5

Very easy to listen to but by no means uninteresting. Didn't much like the album cover though.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

5/5

Truly one of the worst album covers of all time. Made me think it was Trolls inspired or smth. Great Britpop though.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

5/5

Wow punk metal. I guess you learn to love something new everyday.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

Very powerful bluesy rock. Wasn't really familiar with Janis Joplin, but she did have a great voice for rock music (complementary).

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

2/5

Angsty af. The backing music was pretty interesting but the performances felt more smash poetry rather than real music.

Third

Soft Machine

2/5

Only had access to Disc 1 on Spotify, so only had to endure 2 hours of this stuff. Gets pretty interesting later, but c'mon, you cannot start an album off like that. It's just dissonance at the beginning, and it turned me off for the entire duration.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

We love our Willie, don't we people.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

Music filled with a sense of despair and reminiscing 70s Americana. Probably symbolic of times then and perhaps even now. Somber Elvis is still pretty good to listen to.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

3/5

Very atmospheric and engaging music to play in the background. Is that confusing? Yeah, so is the music.

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

Some of the songs are really filler fuel, which kinda ruins the album from being great. Ms. Jackson and Bombs over Baghdad are great songs though!
