Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

diluted dread, i guess kinda what I expected for a Cure album, might be worth a revisit

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

3/5

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

2/5

Not my bag

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

for modernish pop, interesting. potentially worth a revisit

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Beats rubber soul

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

2/5

inoffensively bland radio music that I really only see myself dusting off when I need something harmless to play for company, didn't *dislike* it, but I don't know that I MUST have heard it before I died.

Low-Life

New Order

4/5

winner, this'll get more play

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

4/5

Better than I remembered / expected. Though I doubt I'll be back for another listen very often.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

5/5

I dig the lo-fi sound. Certainly like this Dr John a lot more than the later work I primarily associate with him. Might have to ask ChatGPT about jumping off points from this album.

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

3/5

holy early 80s, batman!!

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

dug it enough for w few listens and dug up a few additional Cocteau Twins albums while I did

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

I've always liked the kinks track on the Rushmore soundtrack and thought I should look into finding more, but this album has reduced the priority of that task. Not wild about it, maybe you had to be there ...

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

5/5

Didn't love this album at first, but it sure grew on me over the years.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

3/5

hm, kinda liked this, I'll be back

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

4/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

really like this one a lot, definite go-to for a day like the rainy sunday I listened to it on

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

5/5

Love it, seems like the organ would pair well with Combustication

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

4/5

Wasn't an instant beloved album, but it seems to have all the hallmarks of the kind of album I come back to later and ultimately wind up not believing I wasn't completely in it's thrall right off

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

... enjoyable, not in frequent rotation. At least they became The Beastie Boys eventually ...

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Solid album, but at some point for me the songs really start to all sound the same.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

3/5

brought to mind an opening/closing sequence of a Bond film. Okay, but I'm not so sure I'd be so poorly off if I'd missed it before I died.

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

4/5

This is a 1001albums for me, not something I'd normally be drawn to, but I enjoyed it from the jump.

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

2/5

I'm afraid Family Guy ruined me for Randy Newman. Unoffensive album, but I don't really see myself reaching for it in the future

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

2/5

I'm sure it's historically significant, but I seriously doubt it'll get much more play for me.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Very cool! Reminded me at times of listening to In Rainbows. Clearly would never have found this if it hadn't been assigned to me - I could barely find it once it had, anyway

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

5/5

love me some early 90s PE

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

In anyone else's voice, I wouldn't love this nearly as much as I do.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

1/5

Overcompressed muzak.
