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.

Typical bouncy reggae. Nothing Specials.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

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.
