Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

1/5

I Should Coco

Supergrass

2/5

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Great album! Good vibes and the last song is such an ear worm for me.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Classic Janis Joplin. Mixing rock and blues, this album delivered some high highs, some jokes, and even threw in a 50's "Grease"-like tune in the last song. Could have used clearer vocals, but the raspy Joplin sound has become a classic. Better than expected overall!

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

I mean, a true classic. Listened several times.

Blur

1/5

Did not finish, didn’t really get into it. Wild sounds.

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

First 2 or 3 songs were 1 star for me but I actually kind of liked how weird and mystical the later songs were? Lots of interesting harmonies, and I'm a sucker for good vocals. Her voice is super weird but not as grating as I expected it to be.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Classic Joni. For a specific mood.

Sheet Music

10cc

2/5

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

3/5

Funky, disco-y at times with a solid hip-hop flair. Not my favorite album we've heard yet but pretty good.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Good fun! Not my favorite but it's impressive how many hits were in this one album.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Pretty big fan! Added to my library. Listened several times.

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

3/5

Ha! Drum’n’Bass is such a unique genre. Pretty good for focused work on a computer and reminds me a little of some video game music. Not my favorite but listenable.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

Interesting! Pretty entertaining storytelling, and interesting music to go along with it. Listened while running.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

2/5

At a prison! Neat. It seems like a very important album for Johnny Cash and for the prisoners but it wasn't much to me. I didn't connect with the songs and the vocals left a lot to be desired in my opinion. 2 starts since Johnny Cash is classic, but not much of a Cash fan myself.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Classic! Can’t remember the last time I listened all the way through but I’m a fan.

Being There

Wilco

5/5

A lot of fun, listened a couple times. First listen was driving back from Thanksgiving and it was great driving music.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

2/5

The White Album

Beatles

3/5

Halfway decent. Not a huge Beatles guy! But Dear Prudence has been stuck in my head since I heard it yesterday so it's at least that good. For me, it's a vocals thing -- the voices are not really for me, and I'm awful at listening to lyrics. But the rest is great.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

3/5

80’s / 90’s hip-hop that is engaging and listenable. I can’t follow the lyrics but it’s probably not really for me.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

Do I like Kanye? I guess? “Power” is the best by far but the rest is pretty interesting.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

Of a particular vibe. Good for relaxing after a party!

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Very emotional and beautiful. Reminds me of Love Actually, when Alan Rickman's character gives "Both Sides Now" to Emma Thompson's character and she realizes his infidelity. Very distinct voice and vibe.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

3/5

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

1/5

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

A Natural Woman is one of my favorite songs! Lots of hits in this one.

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

3/5

Playful classic rock vibes.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

2/5

Vocals kinda killed it for me and electric guitar solos don’t do a lot for me.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

3/5

Not my typical music but was entertaining. Some country vibes which was surprising but made for a more interesting listen.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

“Disco 2000” was a lot of fun!

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

2/5

Not a Cash fan, but can respect the unique venue where this was performed and what it said socially.

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

2/5

Could be good for a hard run but probably wouldn’t seek it out. Pretty hardcore emo(?) which didn’t speak to me

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

One of the greatest albums of all time. I know almost every word.

The Stooges

1/5

Awful singing and poorly executed cultural appropriation of South Asian music. Turned it off several times.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

3/5

Didn’t care much for the vocals, but the first song is a lot of fun. Guitar solos were fun!

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

2/5

For a time and place, it’s good stuff! Felt very same-same? For general listening, not for me.

B-52's

The B-52's

1/5

I swear I heard some James Bond riffs. Still couldn’t save the record for me…

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

2/5

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

4/5

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

3/5

Proto-Dolly? Very classic country vibes. Not really for me but listenable.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Fun covers of classic Christmas tunes.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

Not a Beatles guy but this album was fun. “Norwegian Wood” has all the more meaning after reading Murakami’s novel of the same name. I enjoyed this one.

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

3/5

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

1/5

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Couldn't get over the awful singing, but I understand this is quite the series of lyrics and inspired many other artists. The guitar is quite nice, and I liked the stripped-down nature of the music, just vocalist and guitar. That makes it feel a little more intimate.
