Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

I listened to this album a LOT when I was in high school. Still love it!!

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

2/5

Not really my cup of tea. Some good grooves created, but it all started lacking variety and sounded all the same to me.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

A Classic!!!!!

Murder Ballads

5/5

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

5/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

Phil Spector was a genius producer at a time when most releases were likely single. Compiled all in one album all the songs sound pretty much the same and the “wall of sound” becomes tiresome.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

Okay. Maybe some good stuff, but not great.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

A CLASSIC!!!!

Make Yourself

Incubus

5/5

I was never a fan of Incubus. Never listened to them. This just changed my mind. Great band with a lot of punch!

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Some good stuff, but somewhat repetitive from one song to the next.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

5/5

I loved it! It was as though The Mothers of Invention were impregnated by Lou Reed and the baby was put on steroids.

Pretenders

5/5

So where has this been all my life. Oh, right there and I was not paying attention. Great stuff. I have a lot of catching up to do!!

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

What can you say other than Bravo to one of an artist’s last statements?

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

2/5

Street Life

The Crusaders

5/5

Great music! This was part of my 1980’s soundtrack!

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Some of her best work, although her Mingus album is my favorite!

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

Nice Brit-pop, but musically nothing earth shattering or forward thinking.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

High energy buzz. The music really kicks. LED me to listen to other Linkin Park albums!!!

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

5/5

Raw, Punchy, Minimalistic. Definitely worth listening to!!

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

4/5

Nice music. Melodic and well crafted electronic backing.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

I like this recording a great deal. The cuts on the recording demonstrate to me how The Beastie Boys grew in the near decade since release of License to Ill which I loved when it came out. Check the Tuvan throat singing (or at least what sounds like Tuvan throat singing) on the track Shambala.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Good stuff.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Awesome acid funk. I hear so many roots of music, especially jazz fusion in Funkadelic’s music.
