Hypnotised

The Undertones

4/5

Fun album. Feels like been a teenager in the 80s Britain. This sound would be the landmark for the pop punk of the 90s. Great discovery. Fav. track: My perfect cousin.

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

Part of indie scene of early 2000s, Particular vocals of Thorpe, falsetto style. Occasionally eminds of Sparks in theatricality. Musically find this style dull but it has it's moments. Lirically nothing special. Highlight: underbelly. Not my cup of tea. It lacks an edge.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

American mythology. Dylan could have repeated this formula for the rest of his career but he did what he did. It's the musical image of an era. Don't think twice is on the top five of my favorite Dylan songs.

Violent Femmes

5/5

Personal favorite record. They rock with acoustic instruments. Expanded what punk can be.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Not a fan of Springsteen, the only album I have on repeat is Nebraska. The sax on this album is amazing. Can't get used to the singing style of Springsteen. Respect the artist and this is an amazing project, but not my style.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Album from which I discovered Zepp in my adolescense. Feels like a blueprint of everything that will come later. The bass from dazed and confused will forever live.

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

Luscious album. Loaded with bangers. Haven't heard it an album. Depeche from the 90s.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

One of my most important albums of my 20s. Representations of feelings of angst, cynicism, depression, love from my 20s are in this album. Lyrically and musically magnificent.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

4/5

Beats are insane in this album. Lyrically is all you expect from from PE. Would de definitely be more praised and popular if not because of the past albums.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

4/5

Fun album. Feels like been a teenager in the 80s Britain. This sound would be the landmark for the pop punk of the 90s. Great discovery. Fav. track: My perfect cousin.

Live Through This

Hole

5/5

One of my favorite albums of the 90s in my teens. The perfect fuck you from Courtney to all the haters.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

One of the holiest albums ever. Made of Cash a legend. Being country the album is so punk and hardcore. One of my favorite albums to sing along.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

3/5

Heard it twice and just can't get into Weather Report. Feels like generic, bland, rated E Jazz. Appreciate the artistry but not my style. Highlight: the bass in track 3.

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

5/5

What a pleasent surprise! Have a new favorite country album. All the covers are amazing.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

5/5

For some reason I have always gravitated more for Purple Rain and Dirty Mind but this album is loaded with bangers. Slow Love is a treat and the Dorothy Parker song is one of my favorites ever.

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

2/5

This sounded everywhere in my 17s, respect the album as the cultural moment it was, but hopefully won't have to hear it again.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Classic.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

4/5

Always find curious how the greats cab create this unique sound, classic album, only thing is that these songs have been heard everywhere so it feels like listening elevator music.

War

4/5

Great album but U2 has never really been my thing. Either way one of the strongest albums.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

4/5

Great surprise,, could change to a five after several listens.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

5/5

Feeling like in a film while listening to Walk on by.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Enjoyed the album but didn't did much. Huge respect for Nile Rodgers and after more listens could get to appreciate it more.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

4/5

Never really got into this band, but couple of songs here are part of my 20s and my wife loves this band. The album has this energy I love, should put it more.

Debut

Björk

5/5

Phrenology

The Roots

4/5

For some reason I could never get into the Roots as with De la or ATCQ. Maybe the rapping style or it's too pop for my taste. Either way it's a fine listen.

The Doors

5/5

Classic.

Stephen Stills

3/5

Never heard anything from Stills as solo so got into album with interest. It was ok, some good moments, but will probably never listen again.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Wasn't expecting much but what a great surprise this album was. Amazing voice and kudos to the production.

Live!

Fela Kuti

5/5

Baker and Allen together, what a treat. Always for Fela and his hypnotic sound.
