David Bowie

3/5

2/5

I think I liked maybe 2 songs. Just not my style of music. Tina Turner is a phenomenal entertainer and a legend, but this album just isn't my style.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

2/5

I appreciate Little Richard's place and importance in music history. And if that's how I was rating these albums I'd give this a 5. But I'm rating on how well I personally like the album and music. And this is just not my style.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

1/5

Connected

Stereo MC's

3/5

An example of don't judge an album by its cover or most popular song. The hit song from this album is a classic early 90s jam, but I enjoyed most of the rest of the album way more. I was all set to think it was meh, but ended up really liking it.

This album is beautiful and soaring. It's probably not everyone's taste, but it is mine and I love it.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

I love Nick Drake. For some reason I had never heard of him until a couple years ago, but I was an instant fan when I did. Northern Sky and Hazy Jane I are my favorites from this album.

John Prine

5/5

Grew up listening to John Prine. It seemed like one of his records was always on the turntable. And he's one if the greatest singer-songwriters of all time. Lyrics that can haunt you, like Hello In There.

Pink Flag

Wire

3/5

I've never heard of Wire, was all set for it to be 'meh', but I actually enjoyed it.

Dust

Screaming Trees

2/5

The only Screaming Trees song I'd heard before was I Nearly Lost You, which I like way more than anything on this album. It wasn't a bad album, but not one I'll probably return to.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

3 because of Gigantic and Where Is My Mind.
