If i had 6 sons and got them to dress up in these outfits for a picture I would be through the moon! Unfortunately I liked the cover better than the tunes.

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🤣.

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

To me this is very boring.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

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

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.

Very good 👍

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

1/5

Did not find these songs interesting

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

This is a good album. I remember when it came out and it paled in comparison to thriller. It would be impossible for anyone to make a follow up to thriller. But it is hilarious for mj to write sing and perform a song called bad in the way he did.

I liked the beat and his style but so homophobic

Debut

3/5

I thought this was a cool and interesting album

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

3/5

I would have liked the whole album better if the lead female singer was different. I didn't like her voice, but it certainly was a common sound in that era. I did like the music.

Adele

4/5

She's a great singer & songwriter

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

I was assuming this was going to be really bad just from my pre conceived notions on 70s psychedelic music. But it wasn't a terrible listen. It was interesting.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies
