The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

My 1st note here 🎶 I appreciate the value and legacy of soul music, but the improv and discontinued melodies are just not my thing, never were :) Still a good way to open this project, challenging myself to listen to something I would have never listen on my own accord 👂

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

Rather enjoyable and chilling instrumental that tells a story 🎺 No specific notes except that it has definitely expanded my horizons music-wise :)

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Cheerful, young album of King of Pop, a true intro into what he was going to become in the future, with just a sparkle of mischief and rhythm that makes one's hips swing even involuntarily ✨🪩

Dummy

Portishead

2/5

Glory Box is a masterpiece per se, but this genre is not my cup of tea on the overall scale, not something I would play and listen in my free time, that is, definitely not my #1 choice :)

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Utterly refreshing, I really liked it, defining figure, a legend, not a minute wasted, consistent quality thoughout the whole album :)

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

2/5

I respect his life and work, but this album was rather idle, that is, almost all the songs sound the same, melodically and thematically :)

Cross

Justice

3/5

Quite refreshing, although not my usual choice of music; really good when one wants to listen to something in the background while being productive :)

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

2/5

Dolly is an icon per se, but I am not a fan of country genre, sadly :) Songs are cheerful and her voice is super thin, while singing of very serious topics and heartaches - that part is something I never fully understood.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

A true masterpiece, loved it so much; each song is different, carrying its specific emotion and story; it is evident how wholesome artist he is, how he feels the music and melodies deeply, how easily lyrics come to him and how precious of inspiration he was, and will be, for generations to come; Pastime Paradise was a discovery I wasn't aware of, so just WOW! 💖

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

An absolute masterpiece - the very idea, songs and their lyrics, his ongoing personality and jokes he makes during this performance along with his strong baritone vocal make this album one-of-a-kind pillar of country music 😍👌

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

2/5

These type of instrumentals really don't do much for me in any way... :/

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

1/5

Not my cup of tea, was literally listening it as a background music, sorry :/

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

A really positive surprise that ended up in me even adding a couple of songs to my general playlist. I guess I was a bit prejudiced by his public persona; music is of high quality and his production and engineering is top notch, as well as all the collaborations on this album, rather wholesome product #facts 👌🔝

New Wave

The Auteurs

2/5

Not my cup of tea, once again, since I am not really huge fan of the New Wave :)

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

Rather enjoyable album, versatile topics and cheerful tones; but I think I prefer a more gloomy Bowie from the later years 😁

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

A lovely album, with many hits, definitely a defining sound of the generation, utterly enjoyed it :)

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

An interesting album, pretty short, but effective one; I can see why it made to this list of the most influential ones for sure :)

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

2/5

Not really my cup of tea, and I say this at risk of repeating myself, but it was mostly a background music for me that day, sorry... :/

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

3/5

A really strong album, making a statement in the music industry, meaningful lyrics and larger-than-life melodies; definitely a one worth listening 🎶

Ramones

4/5

Pretty great album, amazing for waking up and starting your day, with Blitzkrieg Bop being a masterpiece on its own accord 🤸

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

4/5

Ahead of its time, piece of art, especially the live version of it; still relevant in today's society, immensly powerful and a genuine masterpiece... revolutionary 🏆

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

1/5

Honestly, this type of music feels so empty to me; endless melodies that appear to be coming to a culmination, but never actually culminate; whispering lyrics as well = zero impact... :/

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

3/5

A rather interesting album, gave me a bit of an insight in what Genesis music was all about, outside of their global hits I had known before :)

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

Reminded me of the Wu-Tang Clan, really interesting album, hip-hop at its best, original and most uplifting 🎶

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

4/5

This was an easy album to listen to, each song tells a story in his characteristic voice and melody; definitely a one worth relistening as well, some real gems could be found there 💎

Black Sabbath

4/5

Ahead of its time, simple texts and extensive guitar solos; Ozzy's recognisable vocal with a hint of sadness in his voice, as always :) Definitely an album worth to be on this list 🦇

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

3/5

This was a surprisingly funny and cheerful album, definitely a revelation since I was not familiar with the opus of this band 👍

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

1/5

Utterly boring, I've got to admit... :/

Soul Mining

The The

1/5

Almost as equally, maybe a little bit less boring than the one from yesterday... 🙄

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Same as the previous one - raw, down-to-earth and wholesome experience, definitely a masterpiece ❣️

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

5/5

Absolute-masterpiece, loved it, more of these, pls ❣️

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

3/5

An interesting one, a shot at independence and his way of saying what he had to say with a few authentic all-time hits that would remain for generations to come ✨

Dire Straits

5/5

Exceptional album, with Sultans of Swing being one of the most authentic sounds which a human ear can enjoy; such a vibe, chilling and relaxing piece of art ❣️

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Great album, loved it; his raw voice and honest lyrics always leave a mark. The River has easily become one of those songs that would remain in my playlist forever 💯
