At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

3/5

This is one of the best live albums I've ever listened to. The mixing of it is impeccable . There's nothing better than feeling like you're ACTUALLY at a concert. I'm not the biggest fan of country music, but I admire Johnny Cash's songwriting. I could imagine Roald Dahl using his lyrics in a book. Favorite(s): Jackson; Greystone Chapel

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

This album is captivating. I barely have any words. You're instantly drawn into its magic just from the album title alone. I wish Coldplay was insatiable like this again. (They might be, but I'm ill-informed). Favorite(s): God Put A Smile Upon Your Face; A Rush of Blood to the Head

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

This isn't a bad album, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I wasn't able to make it past track 12. As a participant in choirs since I was 10, I've heard one too many sea shanties. I think The Pogues express the concept very well. Favorite(s): Fairytale of New York. I hate that the one I liked has a bad slur in it.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

DJ Shadow's use of samples is so entrancing. Every splice fits in perfectly into his work. Favorite(s): What Does Your Soul Look Like; Midnight in a Perfect World; Napalm Brain/Scatter Brain.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

5/5

Jim Morrison's voice has the level of persuasiveness and smoothness of a married, silver fox man. It blends so well with the raw-like instrumentals of the tracks. I just like The Doors hehe. Favorite(s): You Make Me Real; Peace Frog/Blue Sunday; Land Ho!

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

The guitar made me weep. John Fogerty CARRIES this band. The instrumentals are out of this world. Favorites: Ramble Tramble; My Baby Left Me; Long As I Can See the Light

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Throughout listening to this album, I felt like a white kid discovering jazz music in the 40s. I loved hearing the jazzier side of Jimi Hendrix in this. While every track is distinct, they work together like a machine only the divine can understand. I certainly don't, but I know. Favorite(s): Spanish Castle Music; Bold as Love

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

4/5

Jarvis Cooker's voice is suited SO WELL for indie ballad-esque songs. Mix that with the raw lyrics, this album is truly hardcore. This is an album I needed when I was 13. It resembles coming-of-age and new, uncomfortable experiences. Dishes; This is Hardcore; Sylvia

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

if i told anyone this was the first bob dylan albim i lostened to, i'd be stabbed. bob dylan is like the beatles to me. i highly respect their impact on the music scene, but i feel like other artisys do twice as much work as him. i will say, "idiot wind" blew my socks off. although i haven't heard much of dylan, this track stood out like the birth of a star. it stands out compared to the similar MO of dylan's strongs favorite(s): You're a Big Girl Now; Idiot Wind; youre gonna make me lonesome

Faust IV

Faust

3/5

i'm such a sucker for krautrock as a german major while this album is pretty bare, this and other songs in the genre were monumental for the alt scene during the postwar era. that's it. favorite(s): krautrock

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

stevie wonder is a vessel for instruments to truly express themselves. while he has more talent in his left foot that most, you hear a connection between him and his music makers that transcends understanding (at least mine). favorites: living for the city, golden lady, jesus children of america

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

i like the central theme of appreciating the family & relationships one has. the songs are quite similar, but there's a lot of talent in the sledge sisters. what a nice, feel good, disco album favorite(s): thinking of you, we are family, easy to love

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

5/5

i find it so beautiful when a musician will dedicate so much tome into studying and performing a "mentor's" work. my college violin teacher did this with bach and it was one of the best recitals i've attended in my undergrad. with projects like this, it's easy to get lost, but ella's individuality shines through. favorites: let's call the whole thing off; things are looking up

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

this album is so sweet. it nearly put me to sleep. favorites: red headed stranger; can i sleep in your arms

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! the album title perfectly describes the humanistic essence of this album. i love how stevie wonder keeps to his musical memo, but explores different sounds throughout. i love the synth and rock elements seasoned throughout. favorites: knocks me off my feet; ordinary pain; as

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

while a lot of the album has similar sounds, it feels so original. teen age riot will FOREVER be a classic. i love it favorites: teen age riot, 'cross the breeze; total trash

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

it had taken me awhile to get into pink floyd because their music is....something. after listening to this album, I realize they're not artist that you can listen to on shuffle. i'm a changed and evolved woman. favorites: the happiest day...; goodbye blue sky; young lust; don't leave me now

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

not as stellar as axis, but still a solid album. what a rockstar favorites: voodoo chile; come on

Out of Step

Minor Threat

2/5

this is DEFINITELY the kind of music i'd mosh over if i was at a concert in a dive bar or frat house, but 'out of step' isn't really a stand out album.

Low-Life

New Order

5/5

loooove this! i loved the intensity of the instrumentals on top of the creative flow of lyrics. new order, to me, are one of the rulers of synthesizers. i'm so glad that joy division continued to evolve favorites: the perfect kiss; sunrise; sooner than you think

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

with this album, you can clearly tell where queen crossed the bridge to reach their full potential. thank you queen for taking such a risk and taking us listeners on a JOURNEY favorites: you're my best friend; the prophet song; bohemian rhapsody

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

favorites: master of puppets; orion; damage inc

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

3/5

unfortunately, off-beat singing is cool to a point. banging instrumentals tho favorites: i'm going to spain; service

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

neil young must've been on the oregon coast because this album perfectly represents it. the sudden shift in mood from "walk on" to "see the sky about to rain" was so amazing favorites: walk on; see the sky about to rain; on the beach

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

this album was released in the SIXTIES?? they were doing 80s alternative before 80s alternative existed. favorites: femme fatale; run run run; heroin

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

favorites: dont panic; shiver; yellow

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

favorites: everlasting light; the only one

Phrenology

The Roots

5/5

i could really feel the sensuality of the music. i was involuntarily gyrating to 90% of the tracks. favorites: sacrifice; the seed 2.0; break you off; water

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

3/5

favorites: in the wee small hours of the morning; i see your face before me; what is this thing called love?

1977

Pink Moon
