Protection

Massive Attack

5/5

Never heard of them and really enjoyed it!! A lot!

Fragile

Yes

4/5

I saw them when this album came out! Weirdly, the other bands playing with them were The Allman Bros and Edgar Winter Group! Pretty enjoyable listening.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

Not my most favorite album by Jimi but lots of great songs that I enjoy!

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

2/5

I liked the CS&N sound, but too slow and monotonous.

Debut

Björk

2/5

Well. First impression was that this is what it would sound like if Sade and Gotye had a baby. But that kind of fizzled and I wasn’t really impressed. Maybe just not a fan of this kind of music.

Brothers

5/5

I loved it! Great album!

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

I was so pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed this album. The music was what I really liked about it, I wasn’t expecting this.
