This is another one where half-stars would help.

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

The Real Thing

Faith No More

Didn’t know they covered Black Sabbath.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

I listened to the first 26-minute song on my drive to work and kind of assumed I got the gist.

I wish Win Butler wasn’t a creep.

Gotta admit I enjoyed this more than I expected to.

Hey cool, Okkervil River covered one of these songs.

Tom Waits

2/5

It’s official, I will never “get” Tom Waits.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

2/5

Probably not a good sign for an album when you listen to it and the song stuck in your head afterwards is a cover version of a song that wasn’t on the album.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

Now I hope some Mama Cass solo stuff is on this list.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

The compiler of this list seems to line Pet Shop Boys.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

Easy to forget how solid this album was, even without the mega hits.

Destroyer

KISS

4/5

Gets a 4 just for “Beth” alone.

Elastica

4/5

Moondance

Van Morrison

2/5

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

1/5

Some context might help me understand why this was on the list, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to look it up.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

4/5

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Places I don’t enjoy Velvet Underground: At the grocery astore. In my car. Perhaps I should listen to the next one in a box or with a fox.

3/5

I assume there will be other Cure albums, but this one felt kinda filler-y to me.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

3/5

I’ve wondered more than once if I’d get into Elvis Costello if I gave his stuff a chance. After my first experience hearing a full album of his, the answer is…maybe.

Signing Off

UB40

2/5

I know giving an album one song isn’t really fair, but I could have been convinced this was Sublime if it was on in the background and I wasn’t paying attention.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

I was wondering if this would be the album with that one song. It was.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

3/5

Despite an affection for 80s hair metal and even this specific band, I don’t think this album needs to be on the list.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

Dude had some pipes.

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

Some of it was kinda cool. Was hoping to enjoy it a bit more.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

I’m sure the wardens benefitted financially from the Johnny Cash prison albums, but I have to imagine it wasn’t fun listening to a singer with an outlaw reputation get the inmates worked up with songs about how much prison sucks.

Safe As Milk

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

Probably about time to modernize this class with an album called Jimmy and a song called “Super Mario Bros. 3 Wizard” about that kid from the Fred Savage/Jenny Lewis movie.

Did the drummer from the Doors make this list?

Sticky Fingers
