Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Enjoyed it, but not my favorite flavor of 80s new wave. I had heard the hits from this album, but this was my first full listen. I like some of the non-singles better. Shout is a great song, but goes on at least 2 minutes too long.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

2/5

I’ve never liked Coldplay, but listened to the entire ablum for the sake of this endeavor. It’s fine, but I’m so bored with it and my mind has not changed.

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Marquee Moon

Television

5/5

I’ve always been a Television fan and have loved this album a long time.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Some how a huge Talking Heads fan one never listened to this particular album in full. Really enjoyed it, but not sure it will replace my top Talking Heads album. 4.5 stars

Violent Femmes

5/5

The hold this album had on me in my early 20s… listening again is so nostalgic and reminds me of that angsty moment in life.

1984

Van Halen

2/5

More like 2.5./2.75. Not my favorite 80s rock and not my favorite Van Halen, but high energy and fun if you’re in the mood for it.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

4/5

The first album I was given that I had never heard of before and I loved it! This is exactly my kind of late punk early post-punk/new wave shit. The Drifters cover especially stood out. Excited to explore this band more.

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

1/5

Lo-fi jazzy electronica is definitely not my genre. While I didn’t hate this, it’s not something I’d ever choose to listen to. Also 100% makes me feel like I’m working in coffee shop filled with late 90s global village decor

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

4/5

I love Belle and Sebastian. While Tigermilk is a good album, I definitely prefer their sophomore effort, If You’re Feeling Sinister.

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

Have loved this one since it came out.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

I’ve liked OutKast’s radio hit but never listened to a full album. Loved this. I definitely appreciate OutKast’s weirdo experimentation and can see how this really set the stage for a lot of more recent hip hop albums.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

This album is forever seared into my brain after some extensive listening following heartbreak at 22.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

1/5

Could not finish this one. Was bored to tears half way through the first disc. Could nit imagine sitting through two discs of it. Easy listening dad rock trying to do Celtic rock but without any of the fun energy.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

5/5

I listened to this through 3 times today. My dad is a classic country buff and this music was part of the soundtrack of my childhood. It feels like coming home.

With The Beatles

Beatles

2/5

Sophomore slump? I love the Beatles but this has to be the weakest of their albums. Too may mediocre covers, too may mediocre and forgettable originals. A couple of really good bops.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

I cannot resist Mama Cass’s voice in particular and everyone’s harmonies in general.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

George is one of my top Beatles and there are some really good songs in here. Beware of Darkness is so good. But why is it 2 hours long. Sometimes editing down is worth it.

Homework

Daft Punk

1/5

House music is really not my thing. The beats are good but everything is so repetitive, I could only make it halfway through.

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

I don’t dislike Elvis Costello, but I was really bored listening to this one.

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

It’s no Surfer Rosa, but love it

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

5/5

I’ve been obsessed with Little Richard since I was a child. He was all over children’s tv and movies in the late 80s and early 90s so it was inevitable that his unique sound would have imprinted on my brain. He’s what I think of when I think of the dawn of rock and roll. And the exuberant energy of his songs get me every time.
