Not sure this was a great place to start this project. Kinda dug The Electrocutioner though

Started strong - have always like Blitzkrieg Bop - but the guitar riffs felt redundant by like song five

I owe you an apology Elvis, wasn’t familiar with your game. Suspicious Minds is so good. Really liked the whole album minus In the Ghetto. Didn’t know he had the country crooner element late in his career

Really only liked a couple songs here (Out of Time was the highlight). Decent guitar riffs but Jagger’s vocals really irritate me, especially in the first half.

Solid enough soul album, not especially memorable. Tall in the Saddle was my favorite, I guess

Thought most of it was just ok despite my love for the harmonica. Would’ve bumped a half star if I were allowed for Heart of Gold, which announces itself as a masterpiece from the opening guitar strum

Felt interminable listening to this dude’s off-key mumbling over low tempo guitar riffs. Outside of the Grey/This Time He has Come pairing, unlistenable

Consistently dig the Afro-Cuban stuff. The drums and vibe on this basically hit in every song. Rhapsodia probably my favorite but liked all eight to varying degrees

Really enjoyed Matty Groves, especially the guitar outro. Appreciated Quiet Joys as an almost dream pop feel. Got a little redundant though, playing as a lyrical combo of Middle Ages nursery rhyme and an anthem for a pagan orgy like the one from Seconds

Masterpiece. Banger after banger. The contrast between Sad but True and Nothing Else Matters, both incredible, blew me away

I still find The Who pretty grating. More energy on The Ox instrumental than the rest of the album combined. Found most of this pretty generic 60s stuff. A Legal Matter is nails on a chalkboard bad

Strong. Loved One, second half was pretty consistent

Had some decent guitar riffs but this was pretty indistinguishable for me and I don’t think there’s much chance I ever go back to anything here.

First four songs here were good, especially N.I.B.

Unmemorable aside from Rolling Stone but that song does a lot of the heavy lifting

Not my favorite Tupac. Second half is pretty generic and the album’s a little too long. First eight are pretty good though

The songs here were pretty indistinguishable

Blown away by this one. Figured this would not be my speed but Tucker’s voice has a unique intensity and the guitar riffs are consistently great. The first three songs, especially One More Hour, are so good

Fine mostly indistinguishable guitar riffs.

I get why this is a classic, just not my thing. Pretty good guitar but the vocals are the same on every song and none of these are ones I’d really go back to despite how iconic a lot of them are

This level of energy becomes a little tiring after 40 minutes but the back to back of Pacific and Donkey Doctor is pretty strong.

Takes a little getting used to but I mostly came around by the second half, when they softened it a little and were less likely to have the dude screaming shit in German over the top of it. First half probably more authentic but tough to listen to My enjoyment of this was more a one but I’ll toss it a star for being weird as hell. Sado-Masodub is a low key banger

Preferred the more upbeat, funk-influenced stuff to most of the ballads here. Liked it but was a little underwhelmed overall given Wonder’s obvious talent. Assume there’ll be others of his that I like more

Knew this was going to be great and it was somehow even better than I expected. Go Your Own Way and Dreams on the same album is crazy enough, but The Chain and I Don’t Want To Know were discoveries for me

This was solid. Wild Horses only one I really love though. Moonlight Mile’s my favorite of ones I’d never heard. More 3.5 than 3

Really liked this one. Started as a kind of spa relaxing vibe and built energy as it went along. Hedphelym probably the best of both worlds

Maybe a little redundant in its downbeat tone but kind of blended country and soft rock in a way that worked. Title track was my favorite

Better than the movie but I still don’t really get the Prince appeal. Title track is great and the back half of the album generally is pretty solid, but the first five songs didn’t work for me

Liked this but don’t know enough about the genre to understand why this is viewed as so much better than most albums that do the same kind of thing
