Sonic Youth

5/5

I knew some Sonic Youth albums before, but actually never listened through this one. If you take your time and pay close attention you will discover one of the greatest alternative-/underground-rock-albums of the 1980s…at least in my modest opinion. Especially love the opener and the duet singing between the somehow average college boy Thurston Moore and femme fatale Kim Gordon (who sometimes reminds me of Nico…without the German accent of course). Great album!

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

4/5

Not my favourite album by The Smiths, but still breathtaking music. The weakest part is the title track.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

2/5

Heard it twice, but still can‘t really make sense of this. Reminds me of The Fall, The Doors and The New York Dolls (and others), but doesn‘t really fit together. Some interesting ideas, but by far not enough for a 50-minutes album.

Sea Change

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

4/5

Haven‘t heard this for probably ten years… and actually saw them live even longer ago. So I totally forgot how great this record is. A blueprint for all the great Post-Punk albums to come.

Destroyer

KISS

1/5

Sounds to me like the prototype of all the uninspiring, long-hair, wannabe-rockstars records of the 1980s

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

4/5

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

2/5

4/5

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

2/5

Nice easy listening 70s record…but to me not more than that. Sound reminds me of The Who, early Bowie and The Rocky Horror Picture Show…

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

Still can't really see through this. Beautiful melodies and pop songs mixed up with strange parts and ideas that feel they don't go anywhere…

Dare!

The Human League

2/5

I prefer the older, less commercial stuff by The Human League. Some nice tracks but in total a bit disappointing tbh

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Reminds me of albums like "All Things Must Pass" or "Sadinista". Many ideas, some great tracks, but in total too overambitious…

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

2/5

Siting in a nice shady bar having a few beers I probably would have a nice evening with those guys… sitting on my couch completely sober this really becomes boring very fastly…
