The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

4/5

A classic record for great reason.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

2/5

It was a little boring, drawn out, but an interesting look into Willie Nelson's catalog.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

2/5

Interesting but not my bag.

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

The darkest album out of their catalog. I love this record.

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

This out and changed my opinion of Van Morrison entirely. The title track and Crazy Love are huge stand outs for me. Solid record, I now understand why every hippie friend I've ever had tried to get me to listen to this.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

5/5

Already love this record, need to do another spin anyways.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Classic

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

1/5

Like the music the talk singing was a little too much the songs all kind of blended together as well. Reminded me of the Stranglers but less catchy

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

First electric outing for Bob Dylan and it's a classic for a reason.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

A perfect record that took sampling to a whole new level.

Maxinquaye

Tricky

2/5

Kinda boring for me unfortunately. It just seems lazy, the way he moans across the beats, and the beats were nothing to write home about. This album made me want to listen to Portishead the whole time.

Foo Fighters

3/5

Fun rock record. It's interesting to hear Dave Grohl's first outing as a frontman. You can always tell that one person made a record because it sounds more congealed in my opinion.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

1/5

Not for me.

Is This It

The Strokes

2/5

Used to love this one when I was a wee lad. Knowing what The Strokes are about now I find this kind of boring and pretentious. The hit still hit and I'll throw this one on when summer hits for sure.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

1/5

Never really got The Verve.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

4/5

It's record would have been perfect had they not overshadowed it with their seminal album "Rust In Piece."

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

5/5

This album is perfect.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

Better than I remember.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

This whole album was fun and interesting. Jazz pop fusion is the move.

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

A fun dance punk indie outing. I would have loved this album had I found it in Middle School.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

A classic for a reason. Tales of Brave Ulysses is the secret banger on this record.

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Always great. Top Track: Humble Mumble

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Great album, strong vocals, killer instrumentals, and Top track: Move Over

Slayed?

Need to run it again. Solid release from the man himself. Top Track: Watch That Guy

Either Or

Elliott Smith

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

It's a solid dream pop outing for the former half of Spaceman 3.

Cut

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

...And Justice For All

Metallica

5/5

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

Top track: You're My Best Friend

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

3/5

Never can you go wrong with Buck Owens. This is a standard country twang from the 1960s Top Track: Fallin' for You

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

1/5

Never been a fan of this band, this album being an embodiment of everything I don't like about this band. Quite a few artists that I like that are similar but not this group.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

5/5

Amazing throughout! An absolute essential. The beats, the rhymes, and the sound aesthetic are in perfect from on this LP Top Track: Who's Gonna Take The Weight?

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

What good can I say that's not already been said about this album. Top Track: Norwegian Wood

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

3/5

Legendary Muddy Waters, pretty solid for the most part, I'm not too huge a fan of classic blues but this was a fun listen. Top Track: Meanest Woman

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Classic boom bap beat tape. This is my first round with it, it's always hard to live up to the hype that people have bestowed on a certain piece of art before you get your chance to check it out without the hype surrounding it. A solid and groovy listen. Top Track: Midnight in a perfect world

Graceland

Paul Simon

1/5

Only a fan of Paul in 60s and 70s

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

One of my favorite groups of all time. A return to from for these four, after an excursion into heavy pop psychedelia with their previous effort "The Soft Parade." This album brings it back to their jazz, blues, & rock influences. Not too much I can say about this album that hasn't already been said. The album cover is perfect and sets the tone immediately. Top Track: Blue Sunday

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Top Track: Kicks

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

Loretta Lynn

4/5

Amazing record, this is the best ERA of country. Anything with spring reverb on it or plate reverb I'm here for it. Top Track: Making Plans

Tapestry

Carole King

2/5

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs
