One of my favorite albums when I was in college, a millennial folk dream. Super creative and influential songwriting

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

Tommy

The Who

4/5

last time I listened to this I gave it a 5, today it is a 4. I think it's a very cool concept and there are some great tunes on here as well :)

Another Green World

Brian Eno

3/5

New Wave

The Auteurs

4/5

I'm really surprised, but I liked this. They have a comforting, nostalgic sound and I was impressed. Don't know if I'd ever put it on again but fully enjoyed it while it was on.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

I love Sam Cooke. And these songs are great. But live albums from this era are just not my favorite. The banter with the audience almost feels unreal and the audience almost sounds like they’re not listening to him. Then the songs are mostly played very quickly and it’s just a list of them. Musically I enjoyed this and I would have loved to have been there, but from the perspective of listening as an album, it’s not my favorite.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

3/5

How do I say this kindly? It's inoffensive. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. They have a nice sound but it's a little white bread to me.

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

4/5

Such a unique vibe, a mixture of so many styles and a very sunny listen. Gave it 4 and not 5 because it went on a little long but I liked having this one on.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

3/5

Look, it's nice. The songs are all very similar, and they were amazingly groundbreaking and influential at the time, but now I think I only need one or two songs.

Horses

Patti Smith

4/5

This album is a force of nature and I know it deserves a 5, but I’m not a huge fan of the “singing” the entire time. Patti Smith is a total rockstar and she deserves better than this (my rating)

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

2/5

Just not my cup of tea. I’m sure it’s someone’s.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

5/5

NO ONE sings like Janis.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

1/5

Look. Just because you can play polyrhythms doesn't mean I wanna listen to it

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Nick Drake is always a breath of fresh air. I prefer his other albums, but his voice singing to me on my.mornimg commute is always welcome.

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

I really liked the song Limelight. I think they have a nice sound, but I'm not really drawn in enough to want to be a fan. Also his voice is kinda nasal

Black Sabbath

5/5

A great album. What else is there to say??

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

What a slog

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

2/5

Well made, but makes me feel nothing.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

I like James Brown, he’s fantastic. I think the recording of this isn’t my favorite, I don’t love the constant audience screams and I always feel like the crowd interactions are very staged, even if they’re not. I wish I had been there, and I love the studio versions, but I’m not dying to listen to the live album.

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

1/5

No thank you

Born To Be With You

Dion

2/5

Pleasant, but did nothing for me.

Black Metal

Venom

1/5

There's better metal than this. Also the production is atrocious and most of the riffs are just Motorhead
