What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Classic, great production, beautiful storytelling, everybody needs soul and anti war art

The Clash

3/5

Good collection of punk songs, but its no London Calling, and if London Calling is a 5, this can only be a strong 3

Close To You

Carpenters

3/5

Sweet pop album, almost gave me diabetes

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

Destroyer

KISS

3/5

Enjoyed it more than i thought i would, still not a fan of bland glam rock

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

I like prog rock, this one not so much... "ive seen all good people..." and "starship troopers..." were my favorites but as an album is kind of repetitive and not in the interesting progressive rock way, instrumentation is good but overall excesive.

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

3/5

Good indie record, not impressed by it. "Confusion", "Remember me" and "Not a lot to do" are highlights

Lynyrd Skynyrd

1/5

Yeah music is fine but fuck that southern gringo confederate shit

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

4/5

Good album, it has "Cathy's Clown" on it, wich is the song that Elliott Smith references in "Waltz#2" thats an extra point

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

5/5

I knew about Cars and the importance of Gary Numan but never heard an entire album, it is awesome, still sounds futuristic today, loved it

Joan Armatrading

3/5

First time hearing, mellow, beautiful

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Loved it, got my atention the moment i recognized the Kendrick sample

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

5/5

Classic, its kind of stupid to judge it by modern standards, sure it may feel a little repetitive and dated but is the blueprint of much of the alternative music that came after and continues to be produced. It's essential, is like trying to answer the cuestion: do you enjoy breathing?

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Nostalgia: 5/5 Riffs: 5/5, Angry political lyrics that doestn't sound like propaganda: 5/5 Heavy and loud production: 5/5 Maynard James Keenan feat 5/5 Raging against the Machine 5/5

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Bowie's take on soul and R&B, it may not be his best work but its interesting and important in the sense that it kickstarted the best run of albums Bowie would ever release in the next 5 years, powered by experimentation, cocaine and further rehabilitation. "Fame" is an absolute banger

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

This was the first PJ Harvey album i heard years and years ago, it's still as beautiful to me as it was back then, a little softer than her first records "This Mess We Are In" still gives me chills

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

This is one of my favourite albums, it blends perfectly the dark and heavy metal-ish sound of previous Soundgarden albums with more melodic songwritting and production, psychedellic elements and the godlike voice of Chris Cornell in the peak of his amazing talent, perfect album.

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

3/5

I really like the songwriting, Paul Simon is one of the greatest, but the production... the worst 80s production cliché is that reverby drums that ruined the albums of a lot of bands and artists that transicioned from the 60s and 70s, its not a good match for me

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

This is the peak of Paul's Wings era, perfect from start to finish

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

3/5

First part i enjoyed, then the instrumentals bored me a little, too much elevator music for me.
