A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

3/5

I'm not a huge hip-hop guy but Ms. Dynamite's sound had some serious range. The beats were solid.

Gorillaz

4/5

What a terrific album. I need to spend more time with these guys.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

5/5

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

Good stuff, just not exactly my jam.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

2/5

I'm sure it's excellent, but the blues all sounds basically the same to me.

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

Solid punk rock. Iggy's not a top 20 artist for me but probably top 100, and his work with the Stooges can be heard through the decades in countless other acts. Love this.

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

Ten years ago I might have listened to this, seeking to understand the genius behind it. Today I find it not really noteworthy, not really outside the zeitgeist of its time. Mere mortals, all of us.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

2/5

Meh. Fine but boring.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

DNF

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

2/5

I did not enjoy. Another that was musically interesting but not something I enjoyed at all. Skipped through the album. Felt like easy listening music.

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

What a lovely visit to the lands of disco. How can you not love ABBA?

B-52's

The B-52's

4/5

I really enjoy the B-52's, and this was a delightful listen. I'm starting to hate that there are only 5 stars on this rating scale and I'm going to have to start assigning a meaning to each star because this isn't an album I already have or will add into my standard rotation, but I definitely would not mind a few of these songs popping up in my playlists.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

3/5

Fair but straightforward. Wouldn't turn it off but it doesn't turn me on.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

3/5

Solid rock with psychedelic undertones. Enjoyed it but not adding it to my playlists.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

2/5

Started out interesting but got boring after a while.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

I like Simon & Garfunkel quite a bit, and this album was a pleasant listen. Many of the songs, I knew and loved.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

Only got part way through. It's fine. Can kinda hear the 60s folk influence. Nice riff on Aqualung itself.

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

2/5

I was really not in the right space to appreciate this album, but I'm not a big fan of reggae at my best. More than a song or two and I need something different.

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Love this album. Nirvana changed post punk to mainstream, something I will never forgive them for, but that could not have happened if they weren't so damn good.

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

5/5

I'm not even sure if I've ever heard of these guys but wow what a glorious surprise. Seems like something I need to get a little more familiar with.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

4/5
