Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

ground zero record for me in retrospect -- and i remember i wasn't allowed to have it in the house so was limited to MTV and radio play. As an adult now getting into vinyl the clear demarkation between A and B side songs was eye opening... although I probably should have understood that at the time.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

I feel like I should be traveling through the woods in Game of Thrones while on mushrooms when listening to this.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Probably need a dedicated time to listen to straight through. Can see the appeal.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Solid throughout. But again, it is Neil Young afterall.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

5/5

808 State

2/5

Acid house not my jam so ill leave it to the crowds to opine.

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

4/5

I had no idea they were from Sweden, which sent me down a linguistics rabbit hole about why garage rock doesn’t really function in Swedish.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

A quintessential Christmas album. Stoke the wood stove, drop the needle, and have you kids rip open presents like its 1985. Spike the eggnog with a shot of your choice at the turn and slip back into when Christmas still mattered.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

4/5

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

1/5

Confused

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

3/5

Clearly talented. Raw and unrelenting. A bit too raw for me but I see it.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Simply a classic

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

4/5

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

2/5

I listened patiently waiting for the moment to come where my mind opened to this one. It did not arrive.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

4/5

Now i undersrand those SNL skits as a child.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

Wish they had 1/2 star options as this would be 3 1/2. I am generally a fan of his work, but this one did not hit me like the others.

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

4/5

More Specials

The Specials

4/5

Indeed a special album. My higher rating than this crowd may be because The Specials are a bit new to me.. and new music generally is more intresting.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

This album is very familiar to me. This may get better with age for me?

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

3/5

Beastie boy vibes

Repeater

Fugazi

3/5

Loud and chaotic with some mixin’s of delight. Shut the door I did like.
