Fetch The Bolt Cutters
Fiona Apple
Tidal was a far superior album. Heavy Ballon’s and Cosmonauts were the two best songs on the album.

The Marshall Mathers LP
Eminem
Edgy for the time. Probably canceled in today’s culture. Incredible talent with heavy doses of immaturity. I think Marshall probably used the music as self therapy.

A Love Supreme
John Coltrane
Coltrane is a glass of whiskey on the rocks. It’s an early evening smoke on the patio. The second I hear the opening notes I’m transported back to a dinner party with friends. The music can get chaotic and sometimes repetitive, but it’s remains woven into the fabric of our past.

Joan Armatrading
Soulful voice. Forerunner to Tracy Chapman. The first and last two songs on the album were the best.

1999
Prince
One of the first cassette tapes I owned. The first three songs are iconic. The rest of the album doesn’t really hold up well with the passage of time. When I first saw this was going to be the album for today, I initially thought well this will be a 5 star album, but as the songs progressed the rating kept dropping. The first three songs ensure a 3 star but I could be talked into 2.5 stars.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

Good samples. Long album, almost 90 mins. Holds up against time.

White Blood Cells
The White Stripes
From beginning to end, every single song was great. You definitely can hear some Beatles influence in some of the songs. I really enjoyed the entire album.

Greetings From L.A.
Tim Buckley
I liked it. I had familiarity with Jeff Buckley, but I was unaware that his dad Tim was also a singer songwriter some of his lyrics. Remind me of pig pen from the Grateful Dead. I will explore some of his other albums.

Transformer
Lou Reed
Couple of iconic songs in Perfect Day & Wild Side. You can definitely hear the Bowie influence on the album. Some of the songs are a little drab. Not really an album I would return to and re-listen in its entirety.

Catch A Fire
Bob Marley & The Wailers
When the sun warms your eyelids and the salty breeze carries grains of sand across your face, Bob Marley is there—preaching kindness through rhythm. In a world heavy with sorrow, drop the needle on “Stir It Up” and catch a smile. This album is a rebellion set to melody, a call for unity wrapped in sweet grove of palm trees swaying, Marley reminds us that music can make us all Jamaicans for a moment—bound together by rhythm, resilience, and love.

The Wall
Pink Floyd
The greatest rock opera of all time. One summer day of my sophomore year in high school, me and some friends went down to the city market. I had $10. I bought two cassette tapes for $5 each that would change my life. The first was Check Your Head by the Beastie Boys, the other one was Pink Floyd’s The Wall. On the way home we sparked a poorly rolled joint of Tex Mex and pushed play, nothing would ever be the same again.

Ground breaking album. Showed women can rap salty and talk about being human from their perspective.
