Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Tracks 1 -4: Damn David Bowie had the sauce Track 5: 60s pop slop :(

In Rainbows

Radiohead

2/5

Didn't like it, mostly get what its doing. Sorry folks 2.5/5

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

2/5

I can see how this evolved into really good music, but this... is not quite that. I can see it absolutely melting the minds (complimentary) of teenagers in the 70s though! To me, today, this sounds like someone looped 15 seconds of a song for 38 minutes.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Overall, very solid album, lacking in its "arc". Many songs are somewhat same-y. When it hits it hits, and it rarely misses, never catastrophically. (3.5/5)

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

5/5

Wow, I have no words. Mind blown... Incredible album

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

1/5

Incredibly dull... 1.5/5

The United States Of America

4/5

This album is... really good, I think if you don't like it you're probably just lame?

Stephen Stills

3/5

Stephen Stills' self titled album is... fine? There are tracks that are incredibly strong ("Love the One You're With," and "Black Queen"), and some that I found incredibly drab (I am not a fan of gospel music), the net result is that this averages out into an average album. Stills is FAR from untalented, but his showing here has just furthered my belief that Neil Young is the strongest member of Crosby Stills Nash & Young 3/5

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Blur

1/5

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

2/5

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

4/5

4.5/5 this album is incredible, near perfect

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

This is these songs at their best, but they’re still Christmas songs. I don’t really want to hear them, even on Christmas

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

Not personally wild about the "Big Band" swing but this has some good stuff

Berlin

Lou Reed

4/5

Amazing composition, but Lou Reed is not known for his vocals. Luckily, I am notorious for loving bad singers so in many ways this album was made for me.

Born To Be With You

Dion

1/5

First album I googled while listening because I needed to know if the production quality was supposed to be this bad (and whadayaknow, good 'ol phil himself produced it!). I love Dion and the Belmonts, this is not that.
