A Northern Soul

The Verve

3/5

Could definitely tell it was from the 90’s. Did enjoy one very emo song

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

5/5

Very fun and perfect to listen to during the work day. There was a sound that was kind of like R2D2 in one of the songs. It was also giving Peanuts. Would listen to this album again.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

It was fine

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Too much background noise which made it hard for me to focus on the lyrics…but it wasn’t a terrible album.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Listened while working, made me want to eat pineapple

Bummed

Happy Mondays

2/5

Not my favorite but fun to dance and vibe to

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

A good one

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

5/5

LOVED this album! What an incredible voice, I can now see where some of my favorite country pop girlies got some of their influence.

A Seat at the Table

Solange

4/5

Powerful. Cool to hear her after not listening since 2002.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

It was good.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

Wish I was engaging in vegetable eating and hitting the pen stiller while listening instead of working.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

Listened with my best friend who said this is what she listened to as a kid

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

The type of album I want to listen to on a rainy September day, looking out the window. Makes me wish I was a goth baddie. Perfect spooky goth album for the fall season. 4/5 stars because the songs were so long

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Please stand for our national anthem….COMIN OUT OF MY CAGE AND IVE BEEN DOING JUST FINE

Eliminator

ZZ Top

5/5

Truly hoping “TV Dinners” makes my Spotify wrapped. I listened to the song 5 more times after I finished the album.

Palo Congo

Sabu

3/5

Let’s dance 💃🏻. This album is older than my dad!!!!!!!!!! Was still good. Not super my type, but it’s always a good thing to broaden my horizons.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

4/5

Was surprised by how much I enjoyed this album!!! Love the Irish sounds 😍

Parklife

Blur

3/5

This was fun! Judging an album by its cover it automatically got 5 stars from me, but after listening I toned it down.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

1/5

No thank you

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

A classic

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Some pretty decent songs on this album, a couple I added to my liked songs playlist. I felt there were a couple that also didn’t need to be on the album. Overall good!

Moving Pictures

Rush

1/5

I can’t tell if his voice is supposed to be satire or not. When I say I don’t want to listen to old music, this is what I mean. Tom Sawyer gives me flashbacks to high school when the annoying sub who was hit by a train called the radio station to have them play the song during class. The only song I liked was the beginning of The Camera Eye because it sounded cool and there was no singing.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

I raged as much as I could on the airplane

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

I want to see the ballet version

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Nice

Closer

Joy Division

4/5

Led Zeppelin

3/5

I didn’t find it too exciting but it wasn’t terrible

The Poet

Bobby Womack

3/5

There were some funny lines and it was a fun album to dance to. Not super my thing, but I was not bad.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

2/5

I did not vibe with this album. It’s only 49 minutes long but every single song seemed to last forever. My bf said he likes this album, I’ll see if he has a fever. Anyways, ACAB.

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

4/5

This album was so fun to listen to!!! Definitely up my alley.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

In the 8th grade my science fair project was something with music wavelengths and I used ELO as an example. I didn’t do very well because I procrastinated. My teacher probably knew I didn’t actually listen to the music when I talked about them being an orchestra…boy was I wrong!!!!!

Rocks

Aerosmith

2/5

Aerosmith is a band I honestly didn’t think existed until the 90’s…probably because I wasn’t alive before then. My oldest bro was really into these guys when I was a kid. I really like the Armageddon song, and they do have some great hits. In otherwise got annoyed with Steven Tyler’s voice and will deem this “old music”

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Metallica is fun in moderation - I love a little head bang and thrashing as much as the next guy, but man are those songs long or what?!

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Although, Joni’s voice isn’t really my cup of tea, I did enjoy the lyrics and the variety of the music. That last song?! 😮‍💨

NEU! 75

Neu!

3/5

I was very tired when I started listening to this and almost fell asleep at work bc it’s soothing

Queen II

Queen

2/5

I hope this isn’t the last album someone listens to before they die, otherwise they will die in agony. (Jk it wasn’t THAT bad) I did find this album a bit boring, I don’t think I’ll go out of my way to listen to it again.

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

5/5

This really hit the spot

Odelay

Beck

2/5

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

I so badly did not want to listen to this album. It was not terrible

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

To be honest I’m a little iffy on the voice, but I did find one song I really enjoyed that was a little spicy. It was also a great album.

Third

Portishead

3/5

It was good background noise but I don’t know that I’d choose this album on my own

Gorillaz

3/5

It was a decent album, I don’t have much to say

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

I wish I could have danced

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

His voice is pretty, sounds just like he’s telling a story in a deep quiet tone.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

2/5

The album, while good, was slow and kept the same tempo throughout. Would have liked a bit more variety.

Faith

George Michael

3/5

I did dose off a bit, but the album is very fun and a little spicy!!

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

Brought me right back to middle school. Which, yikes, but at least I had good music taste.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

Although, a fantastic album with a few songs I added to my “liked” playlist, many sound the same and the album blends together a bit too much.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

4/5

The singer sounds like Robin Williams when Robin would speak. For “old” music I didn’t mind it!!!

Achtung Baby

2/5

Lost Souls

Doves

3/5

Honestly a great album to kiss my boyfriend to. Top notch. Great vibes.

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

3/5

I think I’m a cowboy, now.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

3/5

While I did enjoy the way each song flowed into the next, the album did make me feel a little eepy.

Feast of Wire

Calexico

4/5

Very soothing in the instrumentals. Also enjoyed the singing, some of the songs felt like they should have been on the twilight soundtrack.

The La's

3/5

I was hoping this was the band who sang the literal La la’s on the Gilmore Girls…they weren’t. However, their hit did play on the iconic Parent Trap (Lindsay Lohan era) and in the first episode of the aforementioned Gilmore Girls. The album trailed off by the end and began to be a bit boring after starting off strong.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

The Score

Fugees

3/5

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

3/5

I felt mixed things listening to this album. The voice is good - it gets unhinged. He’s no lightening. Ka chow

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

Reminds me so much of high school…the sound, the songs, everything.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Old people music that I didn’t mind!!! I remember buying a Lynyrd Skynyrd shirt when I was in middle school because a friend of mine and myself loved saying the band name. I had buyers remorse and returned the shirt the next day. I didn’t think spending $20 on a band shirt from vanity back in 2005 was worth it for a funny name. I didn’t listen to the band!!! Wouldn’t have been able to name 3 songs without my dad around.
