Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

5/5

Finished

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

2/5

I can see the appeal of this album (and Radiohead) -- the soundscape is vibrant and emotional. I just can't get into the tracks. There aren't really any songs I enjoyed, even if the album as a whole wasn't bad.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

1/5

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

5/5

Great album, my first 5/5. I've always disliked SBH so I was not very hopeful but I ended liking just about every other song on the album

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

3/5

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

Feels about as hard as hard rock can get before it becomes metal. Dig the sci-fi stuff

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

Chris

Christine and the Queens

1/5

I can see the appeal to the sound, but not enough tracks grabbed me. Embarrassingly, I got 3 tracks through disc 2 before I realized it was in French.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

2/5

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

4.5

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

3/5

Would have beena 4 but that last song.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

2/5

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

This music is so much fun. Its like the Beatles never came over to America and just got more weird and English as time went on

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Oh so the Rolling Stonws are actually good. Who knew? I dig the strong blues influences, the guitar riffs are sick, and Midnight Rambler is a killer track

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

1/5

Listened to disc 1, could not finish

Disintegration

The Cure

1/5

Disappointing album. I always enjoyed the music at the beginning of each track, but it would outstanding it's welcome and the vocals never dit it for me. Probably 1.5.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Riff to riff I enjoyed this music but it just rarely coalesced into tracks I liked. The cool moments go on for too long and get stale, even if they were cool to start with.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

2/5

I've always heard Greta Van Fleet is just crappy Led Zeppelin. Listening to this album had me excited hear an improved execution of that sound. Having finished the album, this comparison seems exaggerated -- that is to say, I don't find Led Zeppelin all that much better at all.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Im discovering morning jazz is the way to go. Enjoyed what I heard but I feel like I don't quite have th ear to appreciate what I'm hearing -- all the songs sound kinda the same. Nonetheless enjoyable step on my jazz journey l (the big JJ)

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

This album has elements i lovr in 2010s electronic, wild that it's all here in the 90s

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

5/5

Absolutely stunning theatrical pop. Love the vocals, the music, the builds. Great album cover. What's not to like?

#1 Record

Big Star

3/5

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Irish folk punk. Politically engaged lyrics, deep Irish folk roots, raw punk energy.

Germs

4/5

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Good rock-and-roll sounds. Strong beginning and end, but a very weak middle that I didn't care for.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

I've never been a big ACDC guy. Not the band I would check out when listening to older rock. Gotta say, I was impressed. Its not particularly interesting hard rock, but it is very catchy, very hard, rock. Although damn, maybe cut it with the songs about banging.

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Simply amazing. It took everything I loved from Nevermind and just notched up the song writing. Im going to dive deep into this one

Scissor Sisters

4/5

It feels like a bunch of SF Bay queens morning the hayday of Castro Street but refusing to stop the party

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

I like this more that the Morrisey solo project even though the connection is clears. Certain tracks seem to predict the solo sound, but there is so much more variety here that makes the whole album a lot more listenable.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

3/5

Love the personality, the flow, the story telling. Great skits and chill bests. But damn, this thing is nothing but misogyny

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

The album had interesting sounds but i feel like the tracks were too repetitive. I feel like I "got" the loop long before they finished it up

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

2/5

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

3/5

Good vibes but found myself somewhat bored

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Fun rock with a loyal of personality and willingness to let the guitars ride. Has just as much sex as ACDC, but I feel like they at least think women are people

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

5/5

The one emotion I'm feeling after my listen of this record is outraged -- but thats obviously the intent, so I guess the album succeeded. It'll take more listens for me to decide if I'm transfixed or offended, but im definitely awestruck. This thing feels momentual even a quarter-century later

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

1/5

Sister

Sonic Youth

4/5

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

2/5

I See You

The xx
