The Joshua Tree

4/5

This album reminds me of popcorn at the movies. Enjoyable enough and ubiquitous.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

If you ignore the producer, it's a great Xmas album.

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

Influential, but lackluster in context of Bowie's catalogue.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

Dang, it's a good concert album and 'Still in Love with You" is a great rock ballad, which I don't think I've ever heard before. Also, I didn't realize how much of The Will To Live by Titus Andronicus was influenced by Thin Lizzy.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

It's ok.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

2/5

Meh.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

3/5

Good album, but not for a road trip. Ooof.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

This reminds me of wonderful Christmases past at the Davidson's listening to a Brazilian jam band and having a great time.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

Bizarre and funky and intriguing.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

A good listen, but won't make it into the rotation.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

5/5

Love love love

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Do I like it because I know it or do I know it because I like it?

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

3/5

Influential and interesting.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

1/5

I can't believe that I listened to this whole album. 'Milquetoast' came to mind when listening. I felt like i was sitting in the dental chair at the orthodontist involuntarily listening to the radio circa 1994. I bet the dental assistants loved Culture Club. Why was the last song on this album an instrumental number? Weird.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

Glad I listened to this.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

1/5

Ananda Shankar

3/5

Maxinquaye

Tricky

3/5

Bongo Rock

2/5

I understand why this is on the list, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

2/5

It's was OK, but nothing was memorable.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

Logan and I listened to this togethet and he said I should give this album a 5. Alas, not my jam but I see why people like it.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

3/5

If there hadn't been a plane crash, do you think this band would have the same staying power?

Parachutes

Coldplay

It is pop music. Not terrible, but not my thing.

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

4/5

Kala

M.I.A.

2/5

Its hard not to be contrarian about MIA, but I can also say this specific album isn't it for me. Paper Airplanes does continue to be a banger though.

Destroyer

KISS

3/5

What a weird band to get popular and be a cultural phenomenon.

Parklife

Blur

4/5

I feel like there are 3 different albums/bands happening I n this album.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

3/5

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

1/5

It started with a terrible cover of one of my favorite songs and it didn't get better.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

I may be the odd man out with this album, but there are some really great tracks here. Also, to be fair, it was one of our in the car CDs from 2008-2010 soI know this album really well.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

2/5

I don't hate it, but I wouldn't listen unless encouraged.

California

It isn't my favorite Leonard Cohen, but has a place in my soul.

Fuzzy Logic
