Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

3/5

Very early new wave. Not really my sound. A little silly but seeing as I was not born yet I can only hypothesize they were slightly ahead of there time.

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

Decent album, no songs that stood out but none I wanted to immediately switch.

Adele

5/5

Banger after banger. Great album. Would try to sing along but can’t hit those notes.

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Another new wavey entry. I liked it more than Devo but still not my sound. Prefer the cure for the genre

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Not a jazz fan and didn’t find her voice particularly impressive. Piano playing skills on point though.

Live Through This

Hole

I have never enjoyed hole or Courtney love. This album did. It change my mind. Lots of the songs sounded the same.

3/5

Didn’t understand a single word but enjoyed the album. Not once did I think I don’t wanna listen to this.

A meh album. Nothing special about it.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

Good. Unique voice. Very folksy and whimsical

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

Outside the popular single it’s not a great album. Seems like it could be a movie similar to bat out of hell but no songs that I wanted to sing along too

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

3/5

Not bad. Better than I expected. In every dream home a heartache is a classic.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

Ooof this was a slog. To many long guitar solos and instrumental sections.

Dr. Octagon

I prefer music I can sing along too, but this was very relaxing and great background music while trying to focus on other things at work.

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

3/5

I have never heard this album surprisingly it’s up my alley. God blend of rock/country I love the sound of a steel guitar.

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

2/5

I have listened to every album I have gotten so far. This tested me. Why it’s on the list I will never know. These some angry mother fuckers.

Play

Moby

Double Nickels On The Dime

Not a lot to say about this album. Defined music for a generation.

60s banger after banger.

4/5

Great album between wyclefs production and Lauren’s voice there is some great songs.

More self righteous crap from the third most talented beetle.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Known for the wall of sound the Christmas album was no diffeeent.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Springsteen has some great albums but this was so so. He mumbled on too many songs.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

4/5

What a beautifully arranged album. I felt like I was in a lounge in the 60s in Vegas. It was fantastic even if I don’t listen to a ton of frank sinatra

Joanna Newsom

2/5

Tooo folky for me. If you have ten minute long songs there has to be interesting parts. This just sounded like her wailing for ten minutes.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

I have listened to this album multiple times. Fantastic from start to finish.

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

I don’t think David Bowie has made the same album twice. This was good highlighted by Golden Years.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

3/5

This was weird. Not bad but very weird. Vermillion kisses was strange yet enjoyable.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

2/5

Very generic nothing stood out. Sounded like an early 2000s punk album.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

2/5

I dont think I will ever understand the skits that serve no purpose but to say they have lots of sex, otherwise its a good example of early 90s rap but I think there is better examples.

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

just no.

Different Class

Pulp

Queen

4/5

Classic album. Love Queen seven seas is one of my favourite songs.
