Tommy

The Who

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.

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)
