Arular

M.I.A.

4/5

A lot of fun. Interesting beats and I like the attitude of the lyrics. I never would have listened to this record, even if given the task of checking out MIA. I really enjoyed this and see how she made it onto the scene with this one.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Guitar playing is amazing.

The xx

3/5

I knew the song Islands from a video game I played in like 2012. The vibe is pretty much the same throughout. Calm, electronic and a bit Emo.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

Nice, iconic album/performance. I never realized I’ve heard the live version of “I want you” so many times that I knew the introduction of the song.

The Joshua Tree

3/5

The best U2 record. I still am not a huge fan. But, this is easily the most powerful Record these guys ever did.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

I didn’t know who Hary Nilsson was, but then heard this record and knew two of the songs off of it. I was flashed back to the Rules of Attraction instantly.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Elvis Costello still sucks

Joan Armatrading

3/5

Funky musicians. I really liked the music. The pop style isn’t really my thing, but, glad I gave it a shot.

Ramones

4/5

Punk rock AF

The Next Day

David Bowie

4/5

Good album. Not a Bowie I would have listened to otherwise. It would be interesting to know how he felt about some of the issues he points out on this record after another 14 years. It is much worse now.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

2/5

I never really liked her music a whole lot. I still feel that way

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Funky!!!! Great guitar work. So much fun

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

I could not find this record on my streaming service

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

1969 was early for this kind of psych rock. I didn’t realize the kinds of synth sounds they were already making by this point. Amazing record

Arular

M.I.A.

4/5

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

2/5

Still think the cure is lame

Wild Gift

3/5

Great guitar playing. Now I know where Ron Gallo got his influence

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Powerful songwriting. Amazing voice.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

4/5

A great SD album. I especially like Show Biz Kids and the slide guitar tones they got on this one.

1977

Ash

3/5

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

I see where the Yeah Yeah yeahs drew their influence.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

4/5

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Loved it. Roots of metal

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

1/5

I still don’t understand why this type of literal, paragraph-format word soup is considered good song writing. Obviously she’s an icon, but I just don’t get it personally. I gave it a good try though.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Great Beatles record. Love the use of strings and sitar

Led Zeppelin

5/5

No notes. Zeppelin was amongst the gods.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

4/5

Funky!

Stephen Stills
