Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Led Zeppelin

5/5

- Listened to studio and live albums - They sound surprisingly similar :) - Wild range of styles - Awesome album, I'm sure I'll listen again, but I don't "need the vinyl"

Rapture

Anita Baker

2/5

2/5 - Not awful, but I didn't really enjoy it. Love songs can be great but these seemed to have zero depth. Might be good in movies which I think is where I've heard some of them before.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

5/5

- familiarity: some, a couple of songs but not artist - album: flowed nicely - instrumentation: broad range, clean, interesting - lyrics: clear, huge range, fits the music, great falsetto - thoughts: really dig it, immediately downloaded all of their other albums - surprised: yes, will definitely listen again - score: 5/5

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

- familiarity: medium, I know the band and quite a few songs but not this album - album: flow - instrumentation: surprising range: blues, sax, not what I expected - lyrics: fun - thoughts: I liked it, probably not going to reach for it but would enjoy it if someone else put it on - surprised: yeah, a side of the stones that I hadn't heard before - score: 4/5

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Instrumentation is pretty good, but I can't get into the vocals

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

3/5

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

2/5

Really liked the music, disliked the vocals quite a bit. I usually like the alternative singers like this, but it didn't have anything special going for it. Inspired me to listen to the B-52s

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

Rouuuuuggghhh

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

3/5

I like how eclectic and experimental their sound is. However most of the songs didn't really go anywhere.

Horses

Patti Smith

1/5

Had to skip through songs. The vocals rubbed me the wrong way. I think the lyrics were interesting, but I didn't want to listen to them.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

Great small group jazz. So many bass solos. I'd listen anytime I want something low key.

Odelay

Beck

4/5

Great groove, fun lyrics, will definitely listen more.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

I've heard most of the songs many times. They're fine, but I never had a particular connection to them.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

1/5

Felt poorly mixed, I didn't like the vocals, and I'm not sure why this was so popular.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

Grooved to it while coding. Would listen again.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Listened twice through. Really liked the laid back style. Reminded me a lot of Digable Planets who I love.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

A good groove, would definitely listen again

Elvis Presley

3/5

Fun album of mostly covers/standards. I've never been a big Elvis fan, but I liked these

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

3/5

I liked it, didn't know about the relationship between Bowie and Iggy!

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

4/5

Pretty fun, I like the groups guitar forward sound.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

I liked it, comically short though

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

I really liked some of it. The spoken track is funny. Love how long the tracks were compared to yesterday's 15 minute album

McCartney

Paul McCartney

4/5

Eclectic, fun really liked it! Will definitely listen to more non-Beatles McCartney

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

2/5

Some ok moments, but never got into it and some of the songs I skipped

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Enjoyed most of it, would definitely listen more

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

3/5

A Seat at the Table

Solange

4/5

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

2/5

I really loved some moments, but there were too many times that this was straight cacophony. The grating cowbell was awful.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

Why does everything have cowbell?!?! Really good otherwise and only mine 20 seconds of it.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

2/5

I liked their hit "epic", but didn't liked the voice or lyrics otherwise

Bert Jansch

5/5

Great guitar, nice vocals, interesting lyrics. Overall, I really liked it. Super cool that is was recorded in his kitchen, really talented. Surprised that I hadn't heard of him before.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

Quintessential 90s sound. I sort of recognized one song, but knew it was from the 90s before I looked them up.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

3/5

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

1/5

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney
