Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues · 1 likes

4/5

The category says pop, but this is really irish folk music, which was very nice and different from what I'm used to listening.

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax · 1 likes

4/5

Great chill album! Good for focusing. Despite the fact that it was created in 95, it still feels modern. High 4 to low 5

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Interesting find! Family loved it and will look for again.

My Generation

The Who

4/5

High 3 star to low 4 star. It has many elements of the era and easy going music; good to listen while driving. Also important to understand the context that this is one of the first use of distortion in a rock album.

Horses

Patti Smith

This was an interesting find! I really liked it. Great interesting harmonies and rhythms. High 4

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

I recognize this is an important album for the era, but it isn’t the style I really look for. High 3 to light 4

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

4/5

The category says pop, but this is really irish folk music, which was very nice and different from what I'm used to listening.

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

3/5

This album reminded me a lot of John Frusciante's Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt, particularly in how unconventional it is, but there are nuggets of melodic ideas. That said, this isn't an album to revisit continously every day, but once in a long while, it would be ok.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

Really good album. Hadn't heard The Wall before and although different from what I'm used to from Pink Floyd, definitely interesting ideas and sounds. Reminded me a lot of Queen's albums

The La's

3/5

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

2/5

Jesus... this was a hard listen. I understand the importance of the album, but similar to Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, it's very rough, with exception of some glimpses that have interesting ideas. I recognize I'm not much of an avant-garde music person, so take this with a grain of salt.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Beautiful album! A low 5, but a 5 nonetheless. It has everything: great melodies, great singing, great guitar playing. Absolutely beautiful

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

4/5

Great chill album! Good for focusing. Despite the fact that it was created in 95, it still feels modern. High 4 to low 5
