Pere Ubu

1/5

I dunno, this album is pretty bad… really seems like they’re trying to make annoying music. Very little on here that I liked. Not a fan.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

This could just be the best live album ever. Such a fun experience listening to Cooke perform some of his best songs to a crowd that was absolutely loving every second of it. And how could anybody not?? Sam Cooke is such a talented performer as evidenced by this album. Such a shame he was taken from this world so young. Crazy how Cooke’s record label chose not to release this album for fear it could damage his image. Really poor decision on their part, but I’m grateful that it eventually was released, because this is an absolute gem! Here’s why they call Sam Cooke the King of Soul

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

My first album on this site, and it's a great one! Seven Nation Army is a fantastic way to start an album. And the rest of the album doesn't let down either. Very solid stuff, some of the best from The White Stripes

I haven't listened to the early Beatles in a while, so this was fun. Lots of great tunes. One of my least favorite Beatles albums but still a 5/5 to me.

Fantastic album. Prince at his best.

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

MC Solaar

4/5

Can't understand what he's saying, but I can still dig it. This album’s definitely got a groove. French rap sounds very cool. I’m also a fan of the jazzy parts too. All around, a very good album

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

3/5

My first time listening to The Fall. Decent punk album I suppose. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it. I’ll listen again, maybe it’ll grow on me. We’ll see.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

3/5

A damn good album this is. It’s got Free Bird, Simple Man, Tuesday’s Gone. I also despise Lynyrd Skynyrd for obvious reasons. I’ll meet in the middle and give it 3 stars

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

Dylan goes electric! Love this album

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

This is some fun music, I’m a fan. First time listening to salsa, and I really like it

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Pretty good album. It’s got Bohemiam Rhapsody, so it’s already an all-timer. I’ve heard Bohemian Rhapsody before but the rest of the album was all pretty much new to me. A lot of Queen “deep cuts” so to say on here. It’s got some weird moments, but overall it's still pretty good.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Incredible album, every song is amazing. Gotta love John Fogerty’s voice, just so good

Dub Housing

Cross

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

Didn't love it, although jazz music usually takes a while for me to get into. Maybe I'll listen again, we'll see if it grows on me.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

3/5

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

My Generation

The Who

4/5

Day 28, and already on my third The Who album. Crazy. Anyways, this album is alright. I’ve heard a few of their hits from here before, but most of it was new to me. Neat how bluesy they sound in some songs, then how punk rock they sound in others. A very good album

Pink Flag

Wire

5/5

Love this album. Very fast and high intensity. Guitar riffs are also excellent. In my opinion, one of the best post-punk albums ever made.

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

Some of the best from T-Swizzle. Hit after hit on this album. Not my favorite album of hers - I much prefer some of her later ones, but this album has so many great songs that it would be a disservice to give it less than a 4

Abraxas

Santana

5/5

Amazing album, I was grooving the whole way through. I seriously need to listen to more Santana

Coles Corner

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Dirt

Alice In Chains

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Wow, this one was pretty good. Rap isn't really my thing. This was my first real exposure to Kendrick. I was really impressed. I'll probably go listen to some more Kendrick now

Picture Book

Simply Red

2/5

I despise that cover of Heaven, just no good at all. Rest of it was blah too

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

The Last Broadcast

Doves

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

5/5

Al Green was just what I needed today. Some really good music :D

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

5/5

This album is excellent. Piano playing and arrangements are top-notch. Seriously, just listen to Winter! As perfect of a song as I’ve ever heard, that’s for sure. It's really a shame that this is the only Tori Amos album on the list, she's got a few others deserving to be on here as well in my opinion. Anyways, a solid 5 star album for me.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

I’ve never really found Leonard Cohen’s music very interesting. A common criticism I expect. On this album he tries to snaz things up with the synths and backing vocals, but it all feels weird and out of place on most songs. Cohen trying to stay “relevant” in the 80s is what this seems like, even though I doubt that targeting the trendy youths is a very good marketing strategy for Cohen’s type of music. Leonard Cohen is a fantastic songwriter, don’t get me wrong. There’s some beautiful poetry on this album, which makes up for my distaste towards the arrangements. So overall, a decent album. Solid 3 in my book

Kenza

Khaled

2/5

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

Very good album. My first exposure to The Stranglers except for Peaches, I’d heard that one a few times before. This album is fun, wacky, and pretty much everything you hope for a punk album to be. Also I must say, they made excellent use of the organ in album, multiple songs with killer solos.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

3/5

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

5/5

Wild that I got this album today. Yesterday, for whatever reason, the idea popped into my head to listen to The Pogues, so I turn on this album. And it's not like I listen to the Pogues often, its probably been over a year since my last listen. Then today, the generator gives me this album. Wild coincidence, can't imagine the odds. Anyways, this album is so much fun, love it. The traditional Irish folk instruments are exceptional; the flutes, accordions, and what sounds like a banjo, mixed with the drunken slurred vocals makes it a blast to listen to. Every song's got character, this album is truly unique.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

5/5

Man, those flutes go hard. Actually, the whole album does. This is awesome

Run-D.M.C.
