A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

2/5

Surprisingly groovy. Vietnam slam poetry vibes. Reflects on self and society. Overall, not my thing. Tracks I liked: Cohesion Maybe Partying Will Help Favorite lyrics: "What of the people that don't got what I ain't got? Are they victims of my leisure?

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

I like jazz, but this was a little too discordant for me. I liked what it was trying to do, though. A jazz ballet is a very fun concept.

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

A fun, classic rock romp. It gets exploratory and jazzy, at times, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. An enjoyable affair.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

4/5

Overall, pretty easy listening. Not something I’d be upset to hear on a random playlist or on the radio.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

A true classic, and an excellent album to put on in the background during a get together.

Tracy Chapman

5/5

A cultural icon for a reason. The honesty and rawness with which it discusses the unearned challenges faced by millions of Americans every day is sobering. The simple, acoustic accompaniment only goes to highlight Tracy Chapman’s beautiful voice and the message of her songs. Although the musical tone isn’t always my personal style, I can appreciate the artistry and skill behind the execution.

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

5/5

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

A powerhouse voice and solid classic rock musical accompaniment.

Fun House

The Stooges

1/5

Not at all my kind of thing. At best, it could be described as jazzy punk rock, but it seems to revel in lack of melody or harmony.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

A rock staple for good reason. Not all the songs are my type, but you can feel the emotion and intent in each.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

3/5

You can feel the rawness of the experience and the energy in the room. Although Johnny Cash’s style has never resonated with me, personally, I can appreciate the emotional impact this must have had on everyone involved.

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

5/5

A fascinating album. It has the vibes and style of a Spanish album, but also with that distinctly French, early-2000’s quirkiness. A lovely, almost meditative, at times, collection.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

Musically and lyrically powerful. Has the melancholy and energy of Pink Floyd, but in a more orchestral arrangement.

Liquid Swords

GZA

2/5

This isn’t really my thing, but I can always appreciate the style of 90’s rap.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

3/5

A fun exploration of blending multiple more contemporary genres with modern country. I’m not the biggest fan of modern country, but this album still had some nice offerings.

OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

Some classic Radiohead. A solid listen.

The White Room

The KLF

2/5

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

Vespertine

Björk

2/5

Very unique. Maybe a little too unique for my tastes.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

C'est Chic

CHIC

2/5

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

2/5

Sail Away

Randy Newman

3/5

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

A childhood classic for me. I thankfully never had the kind of life to be able to relate to the lyrics, but it always felt like I could. Legendary for a reason.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

Solange
