Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

This was not for me

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

I enjoyed this so much more than my teenage self did. Originally the song Lullaby creeped me out so much the whole album was so goth to and I was freaked out. Now, I really liked it. It's vibes and almost meditative. Nostalgic too. Even Lullaby🤣.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

I like this better than I had anticipated. It was a fun album

In Utero

Nirvana

2/5

Every other song destroyed my ears, which I think was Cobain's point all along.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

2/5

Wow, these were long songs. 4th song was practically an audiobook! I can see how he was super influential. I do not have the attention span for this.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

Super catchy as to be expected from Tom Petty. Weird to listen to it around Christmas time because I kept thinking they were holiday jingles for some reason. A lot of bells and like rock a billy stuff

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

2/5

To me this is very boring.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

1/5

This was very bad and I hated it

Grievous Angel

4/5

This was great. Such a bummer that he died before the album came out. Loved the songs with Emmylou Harris. Also he wrote "Love Hurts"?! Wild

I wish I spoke Portuguese! This was ok, not really my thing. But I was happy to hear some international music.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

I listened to this album a lot as a child. It's good - classic. Not something I gravitate towards these days.

Pretenders

2/5

I went from hating the pretenders to feeling neutral about them.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

Nostalgic & fun album.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Tell me why when I was 20 I spent my short precious visit to Paris tracking down Jim Morrisons grave. It wasn't because I'm a Doors super-fan. Google would have helped me make some better choices in the 90's. This album is alright.

Music From Big Pink

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

Rust Never Sleeps

2/5

I need Neil Young in smaller doses

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

5/5

Ooooobviously a lot of this albums lyrics aged terribly. But these boys grew and adapted with the times better than most men, in my opinion. This album is so nostalgic and fun. I can't help but love it.
