Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco · 1 likes

2/5

I read one review calling them America's Radiohead....no way. The sound effects don't work. I prefer their predecessor Uncle Tupelo.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

4/5

I think he's great. I enjoy both the covers and his own songs. Definitely unique.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Great classic album. The three different song writers creates variety which is good.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Classic rock with organ. Ian Gillian, keyboard player and Ritchie Blackmore.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

2/5

I appreciate the musician shit but this genre really doesn't do anything for me. It's Pleasant enough for background noise but that's about it.

Adele

3/5

Her songs with a band are her big songs. The songs with just a piano are mediocre.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Last album. More instruments. Less of Johhny Marr's classic picking riifs.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Great album. Neil is an awesome songwriter and the transition from acoustic to rock keeps you engaged.

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Start of soul phase. 2 huge songs, a couple weak ones. Across the Universe is a bad cover.

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Grear album and introduction to Rush.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

5/5

I'm not sure why but I love this album! Great post-punk riffs with Mark E. Smith singing/talking over them. Once you hear a few songs you immediately recognize others by them/him.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

Definitely an influential band. Some songs are too long but probably are good live.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

2/5

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

Highway to Hell is a classic rock song. Hard to listen to entire album at once though

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

2/5

A poet who has written some classic songs. But not a good performer. The first half with just Bob with his guitar and harmonica was painful. I guess I just don't get him.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Great first album. Zappa already had his sound. Influence of do-wop carried throughout future albums

Rage Against The Machine

3/5

10 songs that rock but all sound the same with the same lyrical story

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

Another classic album. Todd Rundgren produced it and calls it a parody of Springsteen which is a great description.

Violent Femmes

4/5

Great album. Folk punk. A few classic songs and others are solid.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

3/5

It was pretty good. It had a Sergeant Peppers and early Pink Floyd vibe. Psychedelic.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

2/5

Representative of the genre.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

4/5

Great album and mix of songs. Pete International Airport was just sounds and should not have been put on the album.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

I read one review calling them America's Radiohead....no way. The sound effects don't work. I prefer their predecessor Uncle Tupelo.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

5/5

Great album. Blues and psychedelic. Jim Morrison is great but so are the other guys!

Black Metal

Venom

3/5

I liked this more than expected. I can see how it was influential. Think Motorhead w Eddie van halen effects talking about satan lol

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

Mostly Tommy. Successfully Intended to show they are a rock band. Great musicians....Moon Entwhistle, Daltry and Townsend.

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

3/5

Paul Simon is a great writer and musician but this is not his best album. Some of the effects make them dated in a bad way. The acoustic version of Rene and Georgette... was nice.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

Nick Drake is great. Some of the songs are overly arranged. I prefer his more stripped down songs. This is not his best album.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Great album. I didn't realize there were so many big songs on this one album.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

1/5

Mostly just noise and percussion. Very little melodic. I don't get it

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Johnny Cash. Legend. Hurt and Personal Jesus are awesome and others are too.

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

3/5

Good album. It's really well produced. Hers songs with other musicians and electroncia are really good. The ones with just her are good but sound similar to each other.

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

I had only heard the first song which was pretty intense. The others are more accessible. His band are jazz guys playing rock. It probably requires more listens to appreciate.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

2/5

Innovators of dream pop. Pleasant to listen to but too similar sounding.

Arular

M.I.A.

3/5

I really liked this. It's Hip-hop with other types of musical influences and her voice which can have Sri Lankan accent.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

4/5

Both Linda and Richard Thompson are great singers and Richard is a talented unique guitarist with Scottish influence.

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

2/5

To me it sounded like it was written by an amateur teenager. Silly lyrics. Simple music. Campy.

Melodrama

Lorde

1/5

Terrible. Uninteresting gimmicky overproduced teenage girl pop.

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

Awesome album with 3 classic songs on it. Other songs are good too.

Slayed?

Slade

3/5

Solid rock album. Good band and singer. Definitely an influence on 80s American hair bands.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Classic album. Although sometimes I hear parts of one song that sound too similar to other Elton John songs.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

4/5

Really good album with Shane MacGowan's instantly recognizable voice. This has exposed a lot of people to celtic music with it's typical depressing lyrics. LOL
