B-52's

The B-52's

3/5

college art rock from athens. these kids were smarter than they look. this is the only album of theirs i’ve really listened to, but i’ve listened to it quite a bit. i like them despite their fame and how overplayed certain songs were. 52 girls is one of my all time favorite songs

Who's Next

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

i know and love all these songs but it was a little intense to listen to them back to back on an album.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

4/5

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

3/5

this was a fun album, and arcade fire’s first album was pretty awesome, but i’m not sure this was better, just more polished

Tommy

The Who

2/5

for a rock opera, this was fine, though i prefer pink floyd’s the wall to this. i feel like the who is all about big hits and being mainstrea,. and this is a nice breath of fresh air; more art for art’s sake. but at a certain point, i could only picture charlie day from its always sunny, singing the tommy songs. and then when it got all raspy, i realized that ‘the night man cometh’ must have been a parody of the who’s tommy

Pink Flag

Wire

5/5

i’m on week 3 of daily alliums from this list, and i finally got an album i’d never heard but now love! i was familiar with a few wire songs, but never listened to this album in full

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

2/5

i can appreciate the role she played for women in 90’s music, but overall, not a very interesting album

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

it’s hard to listen to this without thinking of the beatles or wishing it was the zombies, but upon a second listen, i was able to hear the ways in which they were unique. cool instrumentation and fun, whimsical songs.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

2/5

very beautiful yet highly unremarkable. is it just me or is there something about this that just sounds like a christmas album?

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

3/5

definitely a unique sound and an exploration of many types of sound. it was jarring at first, but once i got into, it was pretty groovy. goin out west and black wings were my highlights. i appreciate this way more than an ultra smooth boring albums. +1 for creativity -1 for being on the side of unlistenable.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

5/5

finally, one of my all time faves!! if you don’t like this albums, you’re just too straight-laced (jk)

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

‘the wall’ was the perfect album to get me through my angsty adolescence. i have always preferred the earlier syd barrett/immediately post-barrett era of pink floyd, but i sure did wear out my vhs of ‘the wall’. listening to it today, it comes across as pretentious and obnoxious, but i can’t help but feel strong nostalgia for it. if memory serves, it’s a way better experience watching it as a movie, but maybe i’m just making excuses for my young self

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

3/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

beautiful and haunting. i’m giving this a 4.5 only so that i can give his other two albums 5’s

Trafalgar

Bee Gees
