Make Yourself

Incubus

4/5

Still sounds good, holds up more than I expected.

1999

Prince

2/5

Not my favorite era of his music.

Blackstar

David Bowie

4/5

Dark, haunting and beautiful.

The Band

4/5

Knew some of the songs but there were some nice surprises.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

My favorite Clash album.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

I only had heard of King Crimson. There were some interesting and unexpected melodies. Other songs pushed the envelope so much they were hard to listen to.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

2/5

I think Tina Turner was a remarkable performer but struggled to make it through this album. I didn't love the instruments and her voice started to grate on me. I'm sure this was a landmark album when it came out that hasn't stood the test of time.

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

3/5

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

I know most of these songs. Not my favorite era of Dylan's but a solid album. Favorite songs: Corrina, Corrina and Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I had heard the major hits, but not some of the other tracks. Solid album with slower twangy songs to balance out upbeat songs like Street Fighting Man. Overall, enjoyed the album and got a good laugh over the falsetto on Dear Doctor.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

4/5

Great time capsule album that still sounds good.

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

This album was new to me other than Golden Years. Start to finish I enjoyed listening to it, it's nice hearing new to me Bowie music. Favorite tracks: Golden Years, Stay

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. At first listen I was disappointed, but it grew on me after I kept going.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

Delightful start to finish.

War

4/5

Love the guitars and drums on this album. A nice reminder of how good early U2 music was. Favorite songs: Two Hearts Beat As One, Drowning Man, New Year's Day

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

2/5

Had a difficult time finishing this one. Not a fan.

My Generation

The Who

4/5

All but two songs were new to me, so there were some nice surprises. The one letdown was the cover of I'm a Man. Favorite songs: Out In The Street, I Don't Mind, It's Not True, The Kids Are Alright

Future Days

Can

3/5

Weird and fun. Not something I'd listen to unless I was in the mood, but sounds great considering how long ago it was recorded.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

The comments on this album were all over the place and there was a lot of discussion on lyrics. I won't comment on messages or lyrics since I only listened two times through, but I enjoyed this. I know some of his music, but only his biggest hits. Favorite song: Compton

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

2/5

Struggled with this. I believe that Eminem has talent as a wrapper and is clever. This album goes too far into being offensive and shocking people for me to enjoy.

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

3/5

Fun to listen to and considering all of the people involved feels like an album with a story. Favorite songs: The Champ, Be Easy, Back Like That

Either Or

Elliott Smith

5/5

This is a favorite album of mine. Favorite songs: Speed Trials, Rose Parade, Angeles, Cupid's Trick

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

Solid album. Favorite songs: Style, Bad Blood

2112

Rush

4/5

Maybe the first time I've listened to an entire Rush album. For prog rock this was fun to listen to. Favorite songs: 2112 Overture, A Passage to Bangkok

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

I look back at many 90s albums with nostalgia, this isn't one of them. Favorite song: Gotta Get Away

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

Love this album. Neil Young isn't for everyone, but this album is a gem in my opinion. Favorite songs: Out on the Weekend, Old Man, Alabama

Rocks

Aerosmith

3/5

Better than expected with some nice surprises. Favorite songs: Back In the Saddle, Last Child

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Delightful Christmas album. Favorite songs: I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Winter Wonderland, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

Fun, but in small doses. Favorite songs: Big Wheels, Mr. Blue Sky, Turn to Stone

Queens of the Stone Age

3/5

Fan of the band, but hadn't heard this album. There were some good songs, but nothing that hit the mark of the songs I love.

Eagles

2/5

I'm just not an Eagles fan. Favorite songs: Take It Easy
