4/5

I love the joy and simple purpose of each groove. A deceptively simple album. Enjoyable, joyful, fun. Harder to pull off than it seems. A few songs drag a bit for me, but otherwise dug it.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

So much more depth in his voice than his first recordings. Reverb is dope af. Still jingle jangling

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Is it fair to be underwhelmed? Maybe I just don’t get it. Enjoyed pusher man and a number of other tracks, but I think I just don’t need a full album of funk / souls very often.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

Idk why albums need to be this long, but this one is great. Enjoyed most of it but too long.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

Nothing but bangers. The ronnetes singing “ furah—stie the snowmaaahn” is my favorite

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

2/5

You really just need like two songs

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

How many guitar solos does one album need? Honestly, give me the hits from this bad boy (and there’s a lot of them!) and nothing in between. What an album to knit to.

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

3/5

Enjoy the drones. Definitely my jam—can’t say there’s anything revolutionary or mind blowing going on

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Achtung Baby

2/5

Wikipedia tells me this is an album filled with innovation and creativity. It didn’t capture me much. Seemed like it was more derivative than transformative.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

5/5

I can’t say Bob Dylan really deserves the Nobel prize for his lyrics (how many times can you rhyme “done” with highway 61?) every second of this album is enjoyable and is probably the first one on this list that you really should listen to before you die.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

The prisoners are the stars of the show.

Ramones

5/5

So good. So dumb. Love it

Blood, Sweat & Tears

1/5

They tried every genre on this thing. Who asked for this? A bunch of talented musicians making kind of stupid music

Foo Fighters

2/5

Found the whole thing to be surprisingly boring. Do people like Foo Fighters this much? Maybe you had to be there idk

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

2/5

I don’t get live albums. Part of my ratings are based around “would I return back to this?” And I can’t imagine listening to this again. It feels like I need to have some chemical assistance and a vibe to enjoy this.

Homework

Daft Punk

4/5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

5/5

A bunch of weirdos who can string together a tune. Not my favorite Talking Heads, but certainly an awesome album

Hugh Masekela

4/5

I love the joy and simple purpose of each groove. A deceptively simple album. Enjoyable, joyful, fun. Harder to pull off than it seems. A few songs drag a bit for me, but otherwise dug it.

Rapture

Anita Baker

3/5

This album is not made for a 35 year old white man, but there were moments I actually enjoyed a lot. This soft, focused production style isn’t something I really return too, but is clearly intentional and makes for an interesting comparison point.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

1/5

I can't believe how boring this was

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

4/5

808 State

2/5

I didn’t have any party drugs at my system when listening. Nor was I in the basement of a club in London. So who can say what I really think
