Tommy

The Who · 1 likes

3/5

It is less compelling without the visual element for me, the music is cohesive but feels one note for me when trying to listen while doing something else - it really requires my full attention to pick up all the different things going on. The underture is where it got going in this listen.

Tommy

The Who

3/5

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

Very 90s, not in a bad way but you can hear their influence on lots of things that came after. The vocals are sparse but that feels purposeful, can feel same-y after awhile but as a result is very cohesive.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

2/5

The guitar playing is sick for sure, cannot be denied but not my scene. So screamyyyy.

Play

Moby

3/5

Hadn't listened to this in a long time but really enjoyed the back half of the 'complete' recordings with stuff I hadn't heard before. South Side and Bodyrock remain favorites. 3/5

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

A master at work. Foxy Lady, Purple Haze, and Fire all still sound amazing. 4/5

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

My first favorite Beck album, reminds you of what heartbreak really feels like.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Have never been a big stones gal but I’m starting to understand

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

I like so many CCR songs and I didn’t realize how stacked this album was. So many jams.

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

2/5

Pretty forgettable, not bad but the Americana inflected, white guy rock is not doing much for me

Elvis Presley

3/5

Blue suede shoes is obviously a classic but a lot of the other songs don’t yet have his distinct vocal performance

War

4/5

So great, Sunday Bloody Sunday kicks it off perfectly and I love the guitar instrumentation

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

This album is shockingly good. I only knew Lovefool but this whole album is really solid and has a lot of great songs.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

4/5

A classic, can't be denied. Their best album in my opinion.

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

3/5

It reminds me a ton of oasis but it seems like these fellas were first? Catchy tho, I like the opener and the guitar instrumentation.

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Starts off pretty scream-y before going into some stone cold classics. Heart shaped box, all apologies, dumb, rape me are all-time favorites.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

This is a great album. I can hear how much of an influence on Prince he is through some of the early tracks. Short but effective.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

4/5

I really liked this album (outside of the most egregiously misogynistic parts) esp come clean and jungle music.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

Not as impactful as when I first heard it but the guitar parts are better than I remember and I appreciate politically overt music when people often are scared to say something inflammatory

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

1/5

I know people love this band but I’ve just never been able to figure them out. The whole album is so glum (except for heavy metal drummer)

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

2/5

It’s fine.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

5/5

Judy blue eyes would honestly be enough to give this 5 stars. It’s such a gorgeous album, I never get sick of it.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

1/5

I’m not really a bossanova person, it’s not bad it just doesn’t really do anything for me

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

It’s tough bc the album is good but wow the misogyny hits harder as an adult.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

This album is beloved but I feel like it’s never been a massive favorite of mine, though I enjoyed it more this listen and his version of Hallelujah is my favorite. Also def noticed the influence on Thom Yorke.

The Score

Fugees

5/5

Brilliant album, I'm always impressed by Lauryn Hill, she can do it all and has such a unique flow

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Not my favorite Beatles album and the first disc is superior (except for Helter Skelter) but it’s still objectively awesome

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

1/5

Not particularly memorable or remarkable for me

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

I’ve just never been able to really get into this band. I find it to be kind of a snoozefest.

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

2/5

Kind of overwrought and dramatic, a few good songs but not what I know and love (or expect) of The Bee Gees, sounded kind of Beatles-y/John Lennon in parts

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

2/5

Not really my jam, I can hear how influential it is and I like the cover of "Be Thankful for What You've Got"

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

Fell in love with a girl is still great and you can see the seeds of their future greatness

Different Class

Pulp

2/5

Common people is obviously well known and reasonably catchy but the rest is kind of a snooze for me
