King Crimson

4/5

A bit of a weird one but it really worked for me. Made me feel want to go and listen to more of the artist

The Everly Brothers

3/5

A short album with fun songs. Probably won’t revisit but an interesting listen from a music history standpoint

Tidal

Fiona Apple

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

5/5

I liked this more than I expected. Most of the songs are fun to listen to and seem to work nicely together as an album

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5

Delicate songwriting. The songs can begin to feel very similar and this can seem more like an album of vibes. But I found each song unique and the whole album held my attention.

The Cars

5/5

Liked the guitar lines and the synth accents. The singles definitely hold up. Really enjoyed the album

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

2/5

A 60s crooner who just doesn’t work for me

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

1/5

Some interesting moments and melodies but not enough for me to find any true enjoyment in this album

Shadowland

k.d. lang

3/5

Good production. Great voice. A bit too country for my personal taste

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

A pleasant surprise. You can hear how this influenced rock pop and country today. I think the slower songs began to drag but Big Iron, Utah Carol and Running Gun move

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

Overall a fine album. Nothing exciting but nothing terrible. Something inoffensive to play in the background

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

5/5

Brian Eno defined a genre of music with this album. I will be the first to admit it’s not a great listen if you are only focusing on the music. But it was intended to be a part of the ambiance and it set the bar for a reason. Great for reading or a quiet walk

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

2/5

Psychedelic to the point of naval gazing

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

Weird. Interesting. Probably groundbreaking at the time. Still have no inclination to ever listen to again

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

4/5

I found this to be a very fun album. A mix of blues and rock influences. And just a little bit different

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Interesting to hear the origins of such a band. But I found the album to be mainly the same old sound. I did actually like “Tell Me” as a 60s rock song and it’s apparently one of the few original songs on the album

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

I think knowing the backstory to this album helps when listening to it. I think I would give it a lower rating without that context

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

5/5

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke
