The Score
Fugees
Released when I was 21, some classic singles. Was never a huge fan, never grabbed me. Doing a more active listen this time. Some interesting verses, a bit slow for my taste. The sketches are lame, maybe funny first time bad for repeat listens.

Cool album, more laid back than the Stooges. Can definitely hear Bowies influence on the album. Lust for Life and The Passenger two all time great tunes,

...And Justice For All
Metallica
Great metal album, a little flat sounding with the drums and no bass. But if you are looking to get hyped slap this one on, it will do the trick

Starts out very strong, heavy 90's britpop. The second half of the album was a let down for me.

Hail To the Thief
Radiohead
Good album but not my favorite by Radiohead. It seemed like a buildup without a payoff. It is an album that I would listen to alone.

Its a fine album not sure why it is one of the 1001 I must hear. There are a couple good songs but no reason I would relisten to this

Never heard of this artist before. Album was a pleasant surprise, spacey funk jazz. The organ was a bit cartoonish to me in parts but overall really enjoyed this one.

A precursor to grunge and 90's alternative rock. It is a classic album everyone should own.

It's Too Late to Stop Now
Van Morrison

Transformer
Lou Reed
Kick ass Bowie produced Lou Reed album. Lou trying to make you uncomfortable with the subject matter in his songs. His spoken word singing in some parts isn't his best but the music is killer.

The Madcap Laughs

the music of a mad genius, the end of the album felt rough and unfinished but overall a very fun album

Youth And Young Manhood
Kings of Leon
Good debut album, rough and raw. It has a garage rock, punk, southern rock mix. I think the sequencing could have been better, the end was a little weak.

East coast rap during the golden age of sampling. Great album

In It For The Money
Supergrass
a few of the songs were killer but most of it was typical 90's alternative rock on this album. Very british power pop, got Oasis vibes.

Ingenue
k.d. lang
First I will say she has a great voice, but this is adult contemporary music which is not my bag. It has a cabaret feel, almost amusement park like music in parts. It is well produced and the music sounds clean.

Great grungy brit-pop, I would put this one up there with The Breeders and PJ Harvey.

Pet Shop Boys
80's synth pop, has some dance style club songs mixed with some slower ballads. Most that like that 80's style will appreciate this album

The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
The album has some good moments but overall not for me. I thought the vocals got a bit monotonous and the music was kinda cheesy in parts.

Cupid & Psyche 85

I like 80s music but this is just corny. I had the urge to skip every song, not one thing I liked on this album

Pelican West
Haircut 100
That first song was a great opener. I thought I was about to hear a great record but the next few songs were a bit of a let down. The second half was much better. Brit new wave with jazz fusion sax flourishes and cool drums, it was a fun album.

Faust IV
Faust
Not so experimental that it isn't accessible, some great drone instrumentals and cool "typical" songs. It is a great Krautrock album

Headquarters
The Monkees
Not as much "pop" as I thought there would be for a Monkees album. Cool 60's rock'n'roll, first album they demanded to play the instruments. I liked this more than I though I would

The Idiot
Iggy Pop
A big departure from The Stooges! more electronic and moody. Starts with Sister Midnight then Nightclubbing two killer tunes then later get the OG China Girl. Wish the album would have finished on a stronger note

E.V.O.L.
Sonic Youth
I am a big Sonic Youth fan from Confusion is Sex thru Experimental Jet Set but somehow I missed this album. I loved hearing the transition from experimental noise rock of Confusion to the more structured experimentation of this album, you could here the foundation be laid for the SY sound in this album. It was a huge influence on a lot of the bands that I listened to in the 90's.

In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson
This is my second listen to this album, if you are a prog rocker this is a great piece. 21st Century Schizoid Man is a masterpiece. The rest of the album is a great blend of jazz rock fusion

White Denim
Great fusion of classic rock and prog rock with some new indie and psychedelic touches. I like the song transitions and the "jam band" feel even though the songs aren't long. I will be recommending this album to friends

Public Image: First Issue
Public Image Ltd.
Post-punk experimental noise album, I liked the first 2/3rds quite a bit. The end of the record was not as good, even though I did find Fodderstompf to be interesting. The song reminded me of Krautrock with the sustained beat and monotonous vocals. Annalisa and Public Image were standouts.

Cosmo's Factory
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Lots of classic CCR hits most would recognize, for me Run Through the Jungle is a standout. The album has their swamp boogey sound with a little rockabilly thrown in as well.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard
Bill Evans Trio
I refer to this as dinner jazz and that is not with slander. It is very cool music, great in the background. The first time I listened to it, the bass really stood out to me. On my second listen all three of them were burning up their instruments. My rating for this went up slightly on relisten.

Only By The Night

A bit more polished than their earlier albums. Felt like this was made for radio play. There are a couple interesting songs but most are just bland.
