The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Lots of classics. Almost all of them, shockingly. I'm not the biggest Billy Joel guy, but this is a great one. First album on this journey, so starting with 5 stars feels like a lot, but it's kind of hard to give anything less.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Good Bowie fun! Time, Panic in Detroit, Cracked Actor and The Jean Genie were my favorites.

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

Classic.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

I do love some CCR. Run Through The Jungle is a top for me. Plus great covers on here.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

3/5

Bossa nova at its best. Not really my thing outside of elevators though....

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Love this album. So glad we saw them in person!!

Hotel California

Eagles

5/5

One of the great rock albums of this time.

The Rolling Stones

4/5

What a debut! Lots of covers.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

2/5

It's certainly interesting, druggy house music kind of vibe. Not really my thing. Different from other Primal Scream I've heard.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

3/5

Liked, didn't love. Not sure it's something I'd revisit.

Blur

4/5

Fun one. Song 2 of course!

The Velvet Underground

5/5

I do love this one!

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

4/5

Another classic album.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

3/5

Fun, weird Tom Waits. Cemetery Polka is definitely a highlight.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

3/5

Kind of just okay for me. Sometimes I liked it and other times it felt a little Donny Osmond.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

3/5

Yes, this is one of the classic live rock albums, but it's not a favorite. Probably a blast to be at live, not as much fun listening to the live album....

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

Solid Beach Boys. "In the Back of My Mind", "Help me, Rhonda", and "Good to My Baby" are some highlights.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

A lot of these songs are on my workout mix, ha. Old Kanye was really good!

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

Lots of classics on this one. "Southern Man", "After the Gold Rush", and "Till the Morning Comes" are some favorites.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

Indian 90s soft radio pop. "Brimful of Asha" was a throwback.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

"Somebody to Love" & "White Rabbit" are the Jefferson Airplane songs. "My Best Friend" is a good one too.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

A classic. Now my whole office is in the mood....

Trio

Dolly Parton

3/5

I love Dolly, but this is just okay. Linda and Emmylou are icons, but it's a solid pretty good album.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

That's some smooooooth Jazz right there.

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

3/5

Kid of dug. His voice is something I'd rather hear in small doses. It's cool, but less is more.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

Fine. The amount of songs Fela has on movie soundtracks is wild.

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Great sounding album. Definitely one I'll listen to over and over.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

2/5

Okay. Some solid rock, but no big standouts for me on this.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

Reminds me of high school. Less moody than I remember.

Liquid Swords

GZA

3/5

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

The first 2 tracks I feel like a very old person, "this is just noise". You can hear the shoegazing inspiration of future bands. I don't mind wall of sound music, but I didn't love this.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

"Gimme Shelter" is the big one here. Lots of blues on this one. Very solid album.

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

3/5

I kind of like the minor harmonies and broody thing going on here. Some Jethro Tull-esque Flute action as well.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

2 greats, Jazz and Samba. Chill background music.
