Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

Awesome album! So funky. I'm smiling so hard :)

Low

David Bowie

2/5

Totally wasn't in the mood for this. Also felt a bit disjointed. All the songs were trying to be something that didn't fit together for me. Very mythical and 80s. Maybe a version of the Labyrinth soundtrack?

Raw Power

The Stooges

2/5

Not really my vibe. Early punk. Neat to hear where the sound evolved from.

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

This was fun and there are definitely some bangers on here. I'm personally not a huge fan of all the synth and fake sounds in 80s music, so I think this turns me off a bit here. But I'd def add some of these sounds to a dance playlist.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

This was great. I'd never heard the whole album. The singles are obviously iconic, but I have a few new faves, like Trouble and Everything's not lost. What a banger of an album. It doesn't quite give me all the feels, but it's close.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

I liked it and so many of these songs are iconic. But the sound is pretty bad and retro, so not a fave.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Loved it. So many great songs. Definitely will be relistening to. So many songs I didn't know were hers!

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Iconic, but not my favourite.

Close To The Edge

Yes

2/5

Mostly didn't like, but there were a few little sections I liked. Prog rock is not for me.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

2/5

Fine, but not my style of music. The slower songs were nicer.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Great beats. Great era for rap, I like the early 90s stuff. Don't like the misogyny or fake confidence.

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

3/5

Unexpected but I really liked this. Speaks to the folk that I like and neat to hear some new folk I'm not familiar with.

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

Simple Minds

3/5

I liked the popness of it. Very new wave sounding.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Very beautiful music and I can tell it's very important musically. But I found it hard to follow with few specific tunes or themes.

The White Room

The KLF

4/5

This was great! Liked it a lot. Good electronic beats, very different songs. Last Train was great.

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

This album was great. A bit grunge, a bit punk, a bit rock. It wish I'd known this band when I was more into those genres. Very glad to have listened!

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Very fun. Liked a lot of the songs and it reminded me a lot of Great Big Sea. 3.5

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

3/5

This is much closer to other albums I've liked and I can see its influence on future indie albums. A few good tunes but it didn't grab me.

Horses

Patti Smith

4/5

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Amazing. Such a great album. Loved it. It's iconic for a reason!

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

4/5

14th Street, Beautiful Child, Dinner at Eight, Go or go ahead. This has been a top album in my life and these songs have been so important to me to at many times. These songs. Bliss! 4.5

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

Awesome. Did not expect a swing album, from the 50s, especially with songs that I knew. Loved it.

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

2/5

Interesting genre. Not a fave, but didn't dislike it.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

It's great and lovely music, but it didn't hit my soul.

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

4/5

Dire Straits

4/5

Liked it a lot. Great tunes.

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

1/5

This album is so stupid. It sounds like my brother's friends messing around in high school, trying to be experimental, but just being pretentious.

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

A couple good tunes but not my favourite rap album or style.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

Awesome. Such a great album and very cool songs.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

A few great tunes. A bit experimental for me. Obviously important to music history and guitar playing.

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Love this album. It's random, kid like, but has some serious epic songs. Obladi, Dear Prudence, Honey Pie.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

4/5

I liked this more than I expected to. First of all, great suits and great cover. Secondly, hilarious band name. 3rd: Great album name. Cool 60s tunes but not so mainstream. Folky, rocky, bluesy.

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

3/5

3.5. Beautiful songs but nothing stood out a lot.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5

This album was incredible. It reminded me of so many hours, listening to it. It has ups and downs and it filled my heart.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Okay. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

4/5

Enjoyed it! A lot of these songs I've heard before because they were on my hula hooping playlist and it was cool to hear them in context!

3/5

Lots of cool songs but lots of mid ones. 3.5

Garbage

Sooooo 90s. I liked the vibes.

Fine, but a lot of distortion which I don't love. Doesn't stand out. 2.5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

I liked it a lot and have always meant to listen to this album. It didn't grab me as much as other albums. 3.5

This was fine and I probably need to listen to it more. Nothing stood out a lot and there were a lot of rock albums this week.

3/5

3.5. Some interesting songs and a cool album in the genre that is this era.
