Bad Company
Bad Company
It was fine, pretty generic 70s rock. I like 70s rock but probably wouldn't listen to this particular album again. I'd give it 2.5 stars, but I'll round up to 3 because of Don't Let Me Down. I particularly liked the sax and guitar solos in that song.

My Generation
The Who
I enjoyed the album for the most part. There's a brightness to the guitar sound that I like and the songs had a lot of energy. It was interesting to hear a bluesy tone mixed with Beach Boy type harmonies but with a harder rock sound. Favorite song: The Ox. Worst song: I'm A Man

Blonde On Blonde
Bob Dylan
I really liked the folk-blues style and the instrumentation. I'm glad we got "Rainy Day Women" out of the way first because to me it was the worst track. It definitely improved after that. I don't listen to Dylan much because I find his vocal tone to be somewhat unpleasant, but I think he's excellent at telling a story and delivering his lyrics with emotion.
The standout songs to me were "I Want You" and "Stuck Inside of Mobile...". But I was surprised to find that my favorite was "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowland", the longest track on this double album. "Sad-Eyed" was really beautiful and he sounded great on it.

Led Zeppelin II
Led Zeppelin
Ok, I'm a huge Queen fan, so I pretty much loved this by default. Since Led Zeppelin came out a few years before Queen, you can definitely hear the influence they had on Queen. Led Zeppelin II was definitely in my wheelhouse and I enjoyed it.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Pogues
Interesting. I've never intentionally listened to Celtic folk punk before but I liked it. I feel like I had trouble understanding some the lyrics because of the music seemed louder than the vocals at some points. Love the traditional instrumentation mixed with rock. Favorites: If I Should Fall From Grace, Fiesta, Thousands Are Sailing, Metropolis, Fairytail of New York

This Year's Model
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Pretty good. I appreciate good bass playing and Bruce Thomas of The Attractions was great. The bass playing is definitely a highlight of this record for me. Standout songs: No Action, Pump It Up, Lip Service.
I wish I could give half-stars, because I'd rate it 3.5 stars, but I'll round up to a 4 because of the bass.

Live And Dangerous
Thin Lizzy
It was okay. Pretty good 70s rock. The only song I knew was The Boys Are Back in Town. I was cleaning while listening, so I wasn't paying close attention to the songs, but seems like good music to exercise or clean to. I'd say 2.5 stars, but I'm going to go with a 2 because of how overdubbed it is (I know overdubbing is common on live albums but supposedly this one is mostly altered).

The Clash
The Clash
It was a little repetitive for me. I don't really listen to punk, but this was a good introduction. Standout Songs: Hate & War, What's My Name, London's Burning, Career Opportunities, Police & Thieves (loved the bass line).

Group Sex
Circle Jerks
Yea...not for me. At least it was only 15 minutes lol, although I did like "Beverly Hills". It would probably be fun to experience at a live show and have the energy of watching with a crowd.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories
Hüsker Dü
Ok, so that was a journey for me lol. At first I was like "hmm, this is pretty bad". Then about 8 songs in I was like "I kind of love this?" and by the end I was rocking out to it. I was flummoxed for a bit because it's kind of bad (especially production wise), but it's also really great at the same time. I was worried at 68 minutes and 20 songs that it would be a bit too long but I really didn't notice because I was having fun. I enjoyed discovering something new to me and will definitely check out more Husker Du.
Favorite tracks: Standing in the Rain, Back from Somewhere, She Floated Away, Actual Condition, No Reservations

The Village Green Preservation Society
The Kinks
It was good. It was pleasant and a bit twee. I enjoyed all the different styles presented. Very British and Beatles-esque. I probably wouldn't listen to this album again but glad I got to check it out. Standout songs: Sitting By the Riverside, Last of the Steam-Powered Trains

Raw Power
The Stooges
Pretty good. The album title perfectly describes the energy of The Stooges. Standout songs: Raw Power, Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell. Love the bluesy sound of I Need Somebody. Down and dirty rock 'n' roll.

Fulfillingness' First Finale
Stevie Wonder
I love Stevie. I wasn't familiar with this specific album but did know You Haven't Done Nothin'. I liked it. I don't think this is one of his best albums, but it was enjoyable. Favorite tracks: Boogie On Reggae Woman, Too Shy to Say, and Please Don't Go.

The Score
Fugees
Great album. Love the flow and the beats. Lauryn Hill is the real standout star on The Score. I really wanted to give this a 5, but I can't get past the skits. They did not age well. The singles released from this album are all great, and I also really liked "Zealots" and "Cowboys".

Rage Against The Machine
Rage Against The Machine
This is the first album I generated that I had already listened to. I liked it the first time and enjoyed it even more now. So much passion and energy. This album is still relevant 33 years later. Bombtrack is a great opener and really gets you pumped up. Favorites: Killing In The Name Of, Take The Power Back, Bullet In The Head, and Know Your Enemy

Broken English
Marianne Faithfull
It was fine. I thought reading about the background of the album was more interesting than the album itself. Some of the songs had a great groove. Standout songs: Guilt and Why'd Ya Do It

Vivid
Living Colour
Fun! I love the fusion of different kinds of rock, funk, and jazz. This is definitely a late 80s sounding album. I love Queen, and I can hear similar type rock styles on Vivid as the Queen late 80s album The Miracle.
I think Living Colour is a top notch rock band. Vernon Reid totally deserves his spot on Greatest Guitarists of all times lists, Muzz Skillings' funky bass lines propels the songs forward, Will Calhoun is a kick-ass drummer, and I enjoy Corey Glover's energy and delivery. Favorite Tracks: Which Way To America, Open Letter (To a Landlord), Desperate People, Cult of Personality
I'd give this a 4.5 but since there's no half stars it's a 4. I get tired of the late 80s rock sound fairly quickly. I like that sound for a bit then want to listen to other styles. But I'm definitely going to check out more Living Colour albums because I liked them.

The Renaissance
Q-Tip
It's cool. Not really a standout for me, but I enjoyed it. Q-Tip is so smooth. Favorite songs: WeFight/WeLove, Believe, Shaka, Official

From Elvis In Memphis
Elvis Presley
I have a hard time believing that this album is a "must listen". Surely there are better Elvis albums to listen to. I like Elvis just fine and I don't mind the country/blues feel of this album. But I found this group of songs to fall fairly flat. Favorite tracks: I'm Movin' On, Power of My Love, and Suspicious Minds

Cupid & Psyche 85
Scritti Politti
Extremely 80s. Not really a fan of the "baby" voice. It all kind of blended one song into the other for me.

Live At Leeds
The Who
I enjoyed it. I listened to the original album instead of the extended version. Really liked the energy they brought to a live performance. Favorite song: Summertime Blues

The Köln Concert
Keith Jarrett
I found it kind of hard to rate this album. It's so different from everything else I've listened to so far. The story behind this album is interesting. The piano is beautiful and it's amazing that the whole concert was improvised. The songs were really joyous although it did get a little repetitive.

A Girl Called Dusty
Dusty Springfield
Eh, it was fine. Nothing really stood out for me. I've definitely heard better versions of many of these songs.

Triangle
The Beau Brummels
So this is the first time since starting this project that I listened to the album twice. The first time I listened I thought it was kind of weird but not necessarily bad, 2 out of 5.
Later in the day I read the Wikipedia article about it and lead singer Sal Valentino said the album was partially inspired by a trip he took to the art museum California Palace of the Legion of Honor and the 17th century Flemish portraits and landscapes. He describes Triangles as a "mythological cartoon about love written from some weird spaces". So I go back and listen again and the whole thing now clicks in my brain. It no longer sounds weird but I can hear the influence and the interesting stories being told through this psychedelia county rock lens. So this album took me on a journey and it was fun. Favorite songs: The Wolf of Velvet Fortune, Magic Hollow, and The Keeper of Time

The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
This is my first time listening to Iron Maiden and it was fun! Loved the energy, creativity, and Bruce Dickinson's voice. Some real great guitar solos and bass lines. Favorite songs: Hallowed Be Thy Name, Run to the Hills, and Children of the Damned. I definitely plan to listen to more.

Aqualung
Jethro Tull
Pretty good. I know a lot of people complained about the flute, but I think the flute is what makes it interesting. Favorite songs: Hymn 43, Locomotive Breathe, Wind-Up

Back to Mystery City
Hanoi Rocks
Fun! I never heard of Hanoi Rocks before but I liked listening to it. I enjoyed the saxophone that was added in some songs. Favorite songs: Back to Mystery City, Until I Get You, Malibu Beach Nightmare

Tank Battles
Dagmar Krause
I feel like I'm listening to Cabaret lol. Dagmar Krause has a beautiful, expressive voice. It's not often that we get featured solo alto voices. Interesting songs: Chanson Allemande, The Perhaps Song, And I Shall Never See Again, The Trenches. Song of a German Mother was an extremely haunting and sad ballad. I was not expecting nor ready for the saxophone that showed up on The Homecoming, but it definitely added an interesting element to the song. I'd be curious to see what she sounds like in her groups Slapp Happy and Henry Cow.

Talking Heads
Hmm..I'm not quite sure I understand it. I like the instrumentals but not really a fan of David Byrne's voice.

Safe As Milk
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
I agree with the user who mentioned in their review that drugs would have helped while listening to this album lol.
I like blues rocks/R&B but this wasn't for me. I found it to be pretty unpleasant to listen to most of the time. I liked the theremin. I just listened to the original 33 minute album, not the bonus tracks that would have made it longer than an hour. Guess I should brace myself for when I get Trout Mask Replica from what I've read so far.

Too Rye Ay

Ok, I actually knew 2 songs off this album: Jackie Wilson Said and of course Come On Eileen. I like both of those songs. The rest was ok.
