Ahhhhh. Like...respect. But it's a 3.5 for me, simply because I struggle to listen to the album straight through. Gets a bit much.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Superunknown by Soundgarden

I always thought I would hate this album because I haaaate Black Hole Sun with a white hot intensity that has not lessened with time. But it's really not bad. The overall sound feels repetitive to me (like if I would listen again, I couldn't just raw dog the whole album straight through), but I am pleasantly surprised how much I don't hate this.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce

I appreciate how classic this is but it's just not my jam, bit repetitive.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest

I've always been aware of this album and its influence but hadn't sought it out. It's not entirely my thing but I did enjoy it and it was a really cool listen.

Orbital 2 by Orbital

Definitely not an album to listen to straight through, and not really for me, but I don't mind it?

Kenya by Machito

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan

The Wall by Pink Floyd

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison

I remember this was one of my Columbia House CDs when I was like, 12. God I must have been disappointed.

This is the absolutely opposite of whatever my taste is. I hate it with fire.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
