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

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!

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

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

Trout Mask Replica

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.
