5/5

Pot soul, rnb, and rock into as blender. Let Me. Clinton operate, and voila, a perfect representation of funk

Distinct for its time, bud does not age well

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

African jazz brought to America. If you love jazz, this is a must hear

Boston

5/5

They managed to make both the perfect representation of a rock album of the era, while also sounding unique A pretty hard feat The bootleg sounds even better.

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

Not my favorite Who recording, but a good job of bridging the music they came from to where they went

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

Psychedelia, a kiss of prog, a slice of mid 60s life well done

5/5

A perfect combination of music, lyrics and vocals

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Great alt pop, even better from a "girl band"

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

The best stones album? Even the non hits are well crafted. But just redo the country style tracks

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Really 3.5 stars, just not quite there for 4. But a great intersection of pop, noise, end arrangements

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Great compositions, hits, and the best tracks are the deep cuts. Five stars for an occasional listen.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

Great if you like Christmas songs. Horrible otherwise

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

Just not for me. Musically, it hits a good note, but simply not good enough to carry an album

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

That is a lot of folk music in one place. It also packed lots of great writing, and timeless classics in one neat package.

Paul Simon

4/5

Superb lyrics, music that matches, and timeless hits. What more could you ask for

A Seat at the Table

Solange

2/5

Just not a fan of this vibe. I can't tell if it is "good" but I don't like it, or if it was a not good, or I just don't get it.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

3/5

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Any album that can have hits from Young Americans and Fame sure covers lots of ground

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

When elevators die and go to heaven, this is the music that gets played. A great singer, just not my style

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

Nothing poor, nothing great.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

There are some angry people here. Not my usual groove, but great performances, and great music win me over. Linton Kwesi Johnson would be proud.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

3/5

Lots of great little nuggets here. If this album dropped today, hits would still come off of it. Not quite 4 stars, but better than three...

My Generation

The Who

5/5

hi. We are The Who. This is a damn fine album... Great tracks, emerging from ther British rnb scene, with distinctive character shining through

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

No denying the hits, but unless you are a fan of the style, the rest of the tracks are just filler. This would have been better as a single album

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

A soundtrack where the songs tell the story incredibly well. Great lyrics, fantastic musicians playing great soul/rnb, and excellent vocals.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

5/5

Pot soul, rnb, and rock into as blender. Let Me. Clinton operate, and voila, a perfect representation of funk

Excellent from start to finish, an incredible diversity of styles and sounds

An entire movie on one great album

Good tracks with a few great ones, and a band that knew how to dress, and act to get noticed.

1/5

Could not stay awake long enough to enjoy any of this

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

Quite a diversity of sounds, a melting pot of jazz and prog, but does not stand out to my ears

Dire Straits

4/5

A platform for an excellent guitarist, with a great band, diversity of music, and great lytics

Konnichiwa

Skepta

2/5

just not in my wheelhouse

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

2/5

his lyrics tell a story in no uncertain terms and his voice is unique, but it is just not enough to make an album stand out

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Only listen to this if you are having a horrible day but want someone else to sound unintelligibly angry for you
