Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Primo jazz fusion record from the 70s. Hot piano lyxx for days.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Like sitting in airport lounge waiting for your twin prop plane to take you Kenosha, Wisconsin. There's some sweet soloing, and for the dreaded Kool Jazz, I actually enjoyed it.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Smokey jazz.club.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

2/5

Ugh. Look, I'm a Beach Boys guy.

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

My ex is a greatest hits person and had the double CD, so I hadn't heard the whole album since I had a copy in high school. Forgot how good the deep cuts are. Garden!

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

5/5

It's proto-Naked City playing Ornette Coleman compositions, I'm in heaven.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

Tommy who? This is the ultimate rock opera. All hail Mr. Loaf.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

2/5

Yasssss Queen, aw hell nah. It's fun for a few songs, but about halfway through I was waiting for it to end.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

1/5

Why do they sound like they're on Valium? I only knew two songs going in and want to go back to that time in Sorry dozed off and crashed my car. Brb.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

2/5

The music is ok, but pretty boring, not a fan of the vocals at all.

Smash

The Offspring

1/5

There were so many better pop punk bands musically and the singer makes most of the songs unlistenable. I avoided listening to them on purpose for 30 years. Thanks.

Arular

M.I.A.

3/5

3 words Bucky Done Gun

Vivid

Living Colour

4/5

Living Colour is my favorite African American metal band. Besides Suffocation.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Never heard of him, and now I'm a fan. Great throwback to the 60s psychedelic soul sound I got really into the last couple of years.

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

I felt the funk, the lyrics spoke to me, and it all culminated in a 16 minute drum off where the Cream rose to the top, or something.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

They may have the Blues, but it made me pretty Jolie.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

1/5

This isn't music, and I'm a harsh noise artist.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

Check Your Head is their 5 star album. This is too corny, and I'm a Juggalo.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

3/5

Look there's only one Springfield, and that's Rick. But this Buffalo fella isn't too bad.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

3/5

Not really into 80s goth, so for me it's just alright.

The Clash

3/5

Sexless Pistols.

Close To You

Carpenters

3/5

Better than the Beatles.

The Rolling Stones

3/5

The humble beginnings.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

2/5

Some of the proggiest sounding prog to ever have progged.

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

I was wanted to hear these guys. I thought it would be weirder, but it's great Taking Heads style jangle art rock.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

When Jack White surpassed Jack Black.

Spiderland

Slint

5/5

I've never known what to call this stuff from the early 90s. Indie rock? Post-punk? Experimental rock? Whatever it is, this is the album that inspired Rodan, June of 44, Shipping News and the instrumental post-rock scene. Dynamics baby!

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

These 42 mins made me contemplate becoming a swinger.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

4/5

Pioneers of the rap game, Chuck D. Blackmilitant and Flavor McFlavortown.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

50 Cent

2/5

This was....fine. Better than expected. Learned know does indeed rhyme with blow.
