3/5

It was a bit hit and miss for me. I love the enthusiasm and heart behind all of it though.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

Chill jazz to vibe and bop to. A little softer than my preference but I dig it.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

The influence this had is clear, as it weaves together various genres and styles of music. So much so that listening to it for the first time, 15 years later, what surely sounded fresh at the time doesn't hit the same way now.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

The Band

5/5

I had always meant to give some time to The Band and this album made me realize why. The mix of rock, country and folk is a mix I always appreciate. And knowing they were towards the front of that gives me an even greater appreciation.

On The Beach

Neil Young

5/5

This is great from start to finish. Vampire Blues especially caught hold of me.

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Started out strong and I enjoyed it, but by the end it lost some of the initial charm. Happy to listen to it when it comes on but I’m not going to actively search it out or put it on.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Hard to resist the funk

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

3/5

I’m not a fan of 80s synth pop and this didn’t convert me

School's Out

Alice Cooper

5/5

A classic that still holds up

The Bends

4/5

Hard to not appreciate this when it came out during my time in high school. And it still holds up.

4/5

Yeah, this rocks. Though I still like S&M more

Roger the Engineer

4/5

Great energy throughout! The rock and r&b fusion makes this feel especially timeless

Bayou Country

4/5

Hard to not love CCR, though this isn't my favorite of their albums.

Blur

4/5

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

5/5

This album made me a fan of Prince. The range and control of different genres, instruments and tools is inspiring

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

A classic for a reason. Though the amount of songs that have been used for advertisements at this point, as made it harder to appreciate each song, as well as the overall album.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

4/5

Odd and eclectic, which I love. At its core, the jazz bits are solid but ground it in a specific way that gives it a weird tension between being fully experimental and a solid jazz album.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Low

David Bowie

5/5

Bowie is hit and miss for me, but this was all hits

A mixed bag. I like the vibes at the start, especially to work to. As it goes, it lost its appeal.

Street Signs

It was a bit hit and miss for me. I love the enthusiasm and heart behind all of it though.

I appreciate the blend of genres and it worked better for me in some places than others. I can see some of the roots of nu-metal here, which isn't my favorite genre, which I don't think did it any favors.
