Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Excellent summer cruise music - listened to it a bunch in my teens. Never could get Black Dog right on guitar, but it was the first song I learned through a teacher.

Debut

Björk

4/5

Some ear worms here and beautiful melodies. For me, in 2025, a four star album. In 93, a 5.

The Score

Fugees

3/5

Not my thing, but a couple classics on here.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

I have never really felt the urge to listen to Joni. Some of her word choices are silly, but wow the music is so well composed. Because of this album I checked out a live set and WOW is her band killer.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

2/5

Not my thing. The acoustic part for Don't know Why was written by my friend's guitar teacher. It's a Starbucks classic.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

2/5

Dire Straits

4/5

Can't believe that I haven't really given this a listen. Dire Straits is one of those bands with a few huge hits, and therefore my dad played them a lot in the car while I was growing up. Trips to visit my grandparents were mainly the greatest hits Dire Straits, Huey Lewis, and other late 70s and 80s stuff. This album is better than expected. Would have loved to see them live back in the day.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Really can't give this one anything less than a 5.

Fragile

Yes

5/5

I'm glad to revisit this album. Steve Howe is such a unique guitar player and the compositions of these songs are fun to rediscover. I avoided doing so for a long time due to hearing Roundabout way too many times.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Cut

The Slits

3/5

Didn’t get a chance to listen to it all

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

Great bands and an insane producer, I’m over Christmas music.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

I wish this band had a different front man, or, better put, a different lyricist. "Someone Great" was a banger for me for a long time. That's a 5 even if the lyrics aren't perfect.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

2/5

A couple good tracks, super dated

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

2/5

Very 80s

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

5/5

incredible album by the best singer songwriter in the past thirty years. The compositions and instrumental skill are mesmerizing.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Some really incredible songs. This type of music becomes broing to me after a time, though, as it's often put on by people I know as background "safe" music during get togethers. Because of that it's spoiled over time.

Sister

Sonic Youth

3/5

Sonic Youth never really hit the right notes for me. I appreciate the rhythmic patterns and the guitar work here, but it's not high on my list. If I saw them live while they were together and were younger, I'd likely feel more.

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

4/5

Some truly great tracks here a well done covers of classics. The backing band is really high quality.

Tank Battles

Dagmar Krause

4/5

The Cars

4/5

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5
