1/5

All the songs have the same name,so I kind of knew that it was not going to be impressive. This is music that you hear at a spa or massage parlor

I love Pantera. This album has two of their most known songs, Walk and This Love. If you like metal, this album is the jam

Close To You

Carpenters

4/5

This is not really my type of music, but it has some classics that we all know. Karen Carpenter was extremely talented. This album has some great harmonies.

Elvis Presley

This has some good rockabilly, jams, and some classics.

Amy Winehouse was super talented, but this album just really is not my style. It has some catchy jams, but I don't really see what all the hype is about.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

Good vibes, but some really dumb lyrics. I’m giving it a 3, but think I’m being generous.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

This album has some bangers, but also some duds.

Daft Punk

3/5

Around the World is one of my favorite songs of all time and takes me right back to 1998 at the Buzz in DC. The rest of the album is good background listening, but nothing extraordinary.

Suicide

1/5

This is my first one-star review. There is no way that anyone thinks this album is one of the greatest albums ever made.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

A Forest is amazing. It is the star of the album. The album is good, but they have better albums.

Classic punk album. I love Black Flag.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

With exception of one song, this is a pretty slow album. There’s some pretty harmonies. I’ve never heard the last song on the album, which was pretty powerful.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

This is one of my top 10 favorite hip-hop albums of all time and one of my top 20 favorite albums ever. I’ve listened to it for 30 years and it never gets old. Five stars all the way.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

She has a beautiful voice, but this is just not my kind of music.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

Great album overall. It has some classics that everyone knows: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and With A Little Help From My Friends. Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds and A Day In The Life are two of my favorite Beatles songs. Within You Without You is the only dud on the album in my opinion.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Clearly, they know how to play their instruments well. They just don’t know how to make music. This album was hard to listen to.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

I’ve never really listened to Iggy Pop. I enjoyed this album. Some Weird Sin and the Passenger were my favorites.

Foo Fighters

3/5

I’m way more of a Nirvana fan than Foo Fighters. It’s hard to believe this album came out 14 months after Kurt died. This album has some well known FF songs. Their music is just too blah for me.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

This album has some bangers, but is very long. There are some songs that should have been cut. Overall, it is a good album.

Liquid Swords

GZA

American Idiot

Green Day

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

1/5

This took me three days to get through. I couldn’t listen to it straight through. There are a few good songs. It should have been an album of ten songs and cut the other 59.

This is a classic album with no skips.

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

I love this album and it has a bunch of excellent songs. I only rate an album five stars if it is flawless with no skips. This is almost there, but not quite. I wish I could give 4.5.

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

3/5

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

This is a five star album. It’s a no skip, change your life kind of album. Nirvana was my favorite band when I was in middle school. When this album came out, it was so different than everything that had been popular. While I love hair bands, there is something so cool about being part of something new. There had been no mainstream bands like this before. This album contains many classic radio hits, but also some other amazing songs like Polly, Drain You and Lounge Act. I tried to listen to it without my emotional attachment and it is just a great album from start to finish.

2/5

From the first song, I kind of knew this album was going to go downhill. I loved and listened to a lot of techno in the late 90s. I tried to be open minded because this was early 90s. They were on the forefront but this album is just blah. It is definitely not one of the albums I needed to listen to before I die.
