The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

All Ratings

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Superfly cruises through the city at night with the windows down. There is a lot of sugar in this medicine.

Dire Straits

3/5

Effortlessly grooves through the first third before petering out. But just when you start to drift, Sultans of Swing begins.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

The Specials

3/5

Not for me, but a worthy pitstop.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

"Take Me With You When You Go" is gorgeous. Exhilarating and expansive.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

5/5

The gentle soundtrack to a chance meeting with an old flame at a cocktail bar in a city you've never been to before. Willing to dance if you'll lead.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

There is a lot to like about Muse, but I can't shake the feeling that the vocalist is smugly levitating the entire time.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

I listened to this while reading the wikipedia page for tiananmen square, and I think they synced up.

Stephen Stills

3/5

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Self-indulgence never tasted so good.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

4/5

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

3/5

Third

Portishead

3/5

I feel like typically albums get boring in the middle or near the end when they've lost steam. But this one started boring and then got pretty good. I enjoyed the little run from The Rip to Machine Gun. The rest was a bit too difficult for me right now.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Damn good. I liked when he asked the fellas not to hit their ladies due to rumors.

Faith

George Michael

4/5

Every single one of these songs is too long. Great pop album. Love the song about spanking the monkey.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

What? I'm supposed to be upset that Respect is on this album twice? Get real.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

3/5

I wanted to enjoy this more. The instrumentation is too boring for the lyrics to be this inane.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

3/5

I'm being nice by not knocking an entire star off for the eating noises in Who Was That?, a song about a guy being in your house. This album takes place in the same "New York City" as RENT.

A Seat at the Table

Solange

4/5

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Coupla real stinkers near the end here.

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Pornography

The Cure

5/5

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

4/5

I've never really listened to an album like this before. I sat back, and let it take the lead.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

5/5

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

4/5

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

2/5

After hearing the (pleasant) instrumental of My Doorbell in so many car commercials, I was surprised to find Jack White giving one of the most annoying vocals of all time here.

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

The first domino in a series of events that trigger the rise of Michael Cera in the mid-2000's.

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

2/5

Didn't care for the buzzsaw solo in the middle.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Ingenue

k.d. lang

4/5

This is what I thought grown-ups listened to when I was growing up. I enjoyed it a good bit.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

I think I am the exact age to feel unbearably nostalgic to the point of melancholy over a lot of early 2010's music. Great listen, wish they let Regine sing more. Wish Win was a better guy.

Metallica

2/5

Found myself frowning a lot. Kind of music that helps your dad process his divorce.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

This my 41st album and the first time I've been left genuinely wanting more. (Seriously, only 34 minutes.)

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors
