New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

3/5

Favorite Songs: Someone Somewhere (In Summertime), Hunter and the Hunted, King Is White And In The Crowd Least Favorite Song: Somebody Up There Likes You (Instrumental) My first introduction to 80s synth-pop and I loved it. I found some of the tracks in the middle to be a bit boring, but the last two songs redeemed the whole album.

Horses

Patti Smith

2/5

Favorite Song: Free Money Least Favorite Song: Kimberly Fun listen, but not my cup of tea unfortunately. Patti Smith's powerful voice and the iconic opening line might be the only memorable things about this.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

2/5

Favorite Song: Black Hole Sun Least Favorite Song: Superunknown I'm sure I would appreciate this more if I was a straight man. Some of the songs are just uninteresting and drag on for a little too long.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

Favorite Songs: Chest Fever, I Shall Be Released Least Favorite Song: Lonesome Suzie This feels so deeply American and folky that you can imagine my shock when I found out these guys were from Canada. The piano in this absolutely rocks!

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

2/5

Favorite Songs: Big Sky, Starstruck Least Favorite Song: Phenomenal Cat This is weird in a good way. I don't think I fully understand the concept here, but all of the songs are catchy at least.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

1/5

Favorite Song: I Just Can't Be Happy Today Least Favorite Song: Liar Too loud, too messy, too much. I don't think I get the appeal unfortunately.

Van Halen

3/5

Favorite Songs: You Really Got Me, Feel Your Love Tonight Least Favorite Song: I'm the One My guy is absolutely SHREDDING that guitar.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

Favorite Songs: 'Til I Die, Disney Girls, Feel Flows Least Favorite Song: Student Demonstration Time So different from their usual sound, but in the best way. The dreaminess, the vocal layering, the psychedelic production, and that damn flute solo?!

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

2/5

Favorite Song: Welcome Home (Sanitarium) Least Favorite Song: Damage, Inc. I like it whenever they're not screaming. To quote Robin Buckley from Stranger Things, “Music! We need music!”

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

Favorite Songs: Dancing Queen, Knowing Me, Knowing You Least Favorite Song: Arrival Listening to this as I’m packing my bags to go home after a grueling semester and I feel so happy and free.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

2/5

Favorite Songs: You Tripped at Every Step, London’s Brilliant Parade Least Favorite Song: Favourite Hour Brutal Youth more like Brutal Listen.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

Favorite Song: Bonita Applebum Least Favorite Song: Push It Along Had a very fun time exercising to this one.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Favorite Songs: That’s the Way of the World, Reasons, All About Love Least Favorite Song: Africano Just makes me want to break out into a little dance. So fun from start to finish, and I now fully understand why these guys were so popular back in the day. Will definitely be checking out more of their stuff.

Sulk

The Associates

3/5

Favorite Songs: Club Country, No, Love Hangover Least Favorite Song: Nude Spoons Went in thinking I’d hate this but it’s not half bad. The album cover is gorgeous.

Public Image Ltd.

1/5

Favorite Song: Theme Least Favorite Song: Religion I Went in thinking I’d hate this and I did, in fact, hate it.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Favorite Song: A Case Of You Least Favorite Song: Carey Tough listen, there’s just nothing interesting going on with the instruments.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

Favorite Songs: Not Dark Yet, Love Sick Least Favorite Song: Dirt Road Blues Hey Timothee Chalamet, why is the average track length over 6 minutes?

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

3/5

Favorite Songs: Nick Of Time, Cry On My Shoulder, Too Soon To Tell Least Favorite Song: The Road’s My Middle Name I was today years old when I found out that Charli xcx and Bon Iver sampled Nick Of Time. Unexpectedly loved this one?

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Favorite Song: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Least Favorite Song: Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers I don’t celebrate Christmas whatsoever, but there are so many classics on here that I can’t give this any lower than a 3.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

5/5

Favorite Songs: He’s the Greatest Dancer, Thinking of You Least Favorite Song: You’re a Friend to Me Yo momma so fat that when she went to the beach a whale swam up and sang, "We are family, even though you're fatter than me”

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Favorite Songs: Why Did She Have To Leave Me, Love Is A Hurtin’ Thing, I Need Your Lovin’ Least Favorite Song: I Heard It Through The Grapevine A consistently good record but nothing stands out to me. Fun though!

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Favorite Song: Piggy Least Favorite Song: Mr. Self Destruct Closer’s impact on the anime editing community needs to be studied.
