Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

This record is a 10 out of 10, no skip, perfect record in my opinion. Loved it when I was 15. Love it just as much now. You do kind of have to be in the right mood, but if you let yourself go there, listening to this album all the way through is a magical experience.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

4/5

I recognized most of the songs, but never knew the band name. This was a fun listen. Tunes fun and catchy, similar in sound to the beatles, but with interesting, less poppy lyrics that make me feel like these guys were more accessible to alt types. Cool record. I went and listened to their first album after this. And then checked out Rod Argent. Quite a few original classics came from this band and other bands that spawned here.

In Utero

Nirvana

2/5

Not really the kind of thing I like. Some of the screaming was fun, and some interesting lyrics, but musically it didn't grab me.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

2/5

Nice easy listening for a while. Good background music. Nice and funky but not too crazy. Then the song started where he was talking, and I did not care for that so much. The song is long enough that it goes through phases, and is nice in some parts. But the talking really interrupted my took me out of it for a while.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

It was fun.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

Love this record. It's slow and meandering here and there, but so pretty. Another one that you kind of have to be in the right mood for. Stunning vocals from Clare Torry. 🤩

Chelsea Girl

Nico

1/5

Ugh I can't stand her voice.

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

2/5

Greatest thing was Emmylou Harris. I liked the live medley song.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

It's always nice to listen to Ray Charles. Good stuff.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

Liked it ok. Rainy Day Women was one of my faves as a kid, and it's still good. The rest was OK. Some great lyrics in there. Just not something I would enjoy on a regular basis.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

Fun listen.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Listened to this maybe a bit too much when I was a kid, that I'm kind of over it. Some great songs. Definitely a great record.

Pretenders

2/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Fun! But creepy when he speaks over Silent Night.

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

This is great, a lot of complex music. Not my thing though.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

2/5

I love this band so much, but this record is not their best. A couple of really great songs, but the rest is kind of boring/ so-so.

1999

Prince

3/5

Nice one

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

Classic, epic opening to the first song. Pretty good overall.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

2/5

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

The Cars

3/5

Fun, familiar songs. I can see why the ones that aren't familiar didn't make it to the radio. But I kind of like the weirdness.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

Fun listen! I didn't keep up with them after Fever To Tell, but I guess I should have.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

3/5

Nice, but not my thing.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

Beautiful. Reminds me so much of my dad singing a lot of these songs. I only made it through disk 3 but I would come back to hear more.

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

3/5

Fun listen.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

1/5

I've never been a fan of his voice. It almost physically hurts my ears. Its hard to enjoy/listen the music because of that. But the songs seem ok.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

Very fun. Not their best work, but iconic.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

4/5

Love this.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

Enjoyed but there weren't any stand-out songs that grabbed me. Like to hear these guys voices though.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

3/5

Not what I was expecting. Liked it.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

4/5

So good.

The Queen Is Dead

Pretty good. His voice didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

Copper Blue

Sugar

3/5

Forgot this existed!

Iron Maiden

2/5

I've never listened to this band on purpose before. I liked it.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

3/5

I liked this a lot. I really like when she gets weird.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

This was pretty good. I don't usually like live albums, but I think the fact that it's "unplugged" instead of like an arena setting makes it much more palatable. Plus some of the songs are iconic performances.

Play

Moby

4/5

An old standard. Very good.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

2/5

Always assumed I had heard this whole album, but no. The hits were fun. The rest. Meh.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

So good. I liked this when it first came out, but over the years these songs have become ingrained into my being.
