MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

top 3 - the man who sold the world, where did you sleep last night, something in the way would listen again

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

5/5

top 3 - son of sam, junk bond trader, everything means nothing to me I really like his voice! It was difficult to pick out a top 3… amazing album overall from start to finish. Definitely something I would listen to often.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

top 3 - Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nothing ta F’ Wit, C.R.E.A.M, Protect Ya Neck. Super fun and enjoyed it more than I expected! Wish I had listened to this sooner. Deserves to be on this list for sure. An album I can see myself coming back to!

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

3/5

top 3 - Of Course, Been Caught Stealing, Three Days. I would actually rate this a 3.5/5 but it's not possible. It was alright, was underwhelmed since I expected it to be more aggressive. Chance of coming back for another listen.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

1/5

top 3 - Big Iron, Billy The Kid, Running Gun. Not for me. I like his voice though! Same for the stories.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

You Can Call Me Al, I Know What I Know, Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes. It was alright, it didn't stand out to me that much. Worth a relisten in the future since I feel like my opinion could change.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

top 3 - Rhyming & Stealin, Fight For Your Right, No Sleep Till Brooklyn.

Signing Off

UB40

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

3/5

top 3 - Love At The Five & Dime, St. Olav’s Gate, The Wing & The Wheel. Another album I enjoyed more than I expected. I’m not big on country music at all but this isn’t bad at all. Maybe a 2.5 but a 3 fits too. Good voice!

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

top 3 - Pump It Up, The Beat, (I Don’t Want To Go To) Chelsea.

5/5

top 3 - Death To Everyone, Black, A Minor Place. Really beautiful. Makes me a little sad listening to it.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

1/5

top 3 - Goon Squad, Busy Bodies, Moods For Moderns. I guess I just can’t really understand the appeal. I didn’t expect to get another one of this band's albums so soon (only 4 days since.) I don’t understand why there are 4 albums from this band put on this list. Is it really that good..? Maybe I’ll come back to it, who knows.1.5/5. Good cover art though!

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

top 3 - Keep Gettin’ It On, Come Get To This, Let’s Get It On.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

top 3 - Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology), Save The Children, Right On. Man, he has an amazing voice. Great from start to finish. I really like how the songs blend into each other as well! It’s sad how young he died though :(

Debut

Björk

5/5

top 3 - There’s More To Life Than This, The Anchor Song, Big Time Sensuality. I love this album so much!! Was really excited when I got this! I love Björk :)

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

top 3 - Black And Tan Fantasy, Part III - Newport Up, Jeep’s Blue. Listened to the complete version. It’s good, would give it another listen!

Adele

4/5

top 3 - My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), Welfare Mothers, Sedan Delivery. Enjoyed it more than I expected ! I really, really liked the instruments on this one. Feels like there’s something missing though and I can’t tell what it is.

John Coltrane

3/5

favourite track - A Love Supreme, Pt. III - Pursuance No strong feelings on this.

Da Capo

2/5

top 3 - Your Latest Trick, Why Worry, Brothers In Arms. Don't know how to really feel, was a little bored. Might relisten.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

4/5

top 3 - In France They Kiss On Main Street, The Jungle Line, Harry’s House / Centerpiece. Pretty good!! Haven't listened to this one yet and I'm glad I finally did. Joni is one of those artists I felt was just fine the first time I listened to her but overtime grew on me. Now I really like her :))

Berlin

Lou Reed

5/5

top 3 - Lady Day, Berlin, The Bed. I’ve already listened to this album a few times before and I was very happy to give it another!

top 3 - The Real Slim Shady, Stan, Criminal. Never been a big fan of his voice, only like the songs in my top 3 and that’s about it.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Girls Against Boys

3/5

top 3 - Rockets Are Red, Get Down, Billy’s One Step. It’s alright, no track in particular stands out that much in my opinion which makes it forgettable to me. I wouldn’t complain if it was put on though.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

top 3 - Fairytale of New York, Metropolis, Thousands Are Sailing. Wasn’t into it + wasn’t in the mood for music I hear anytime I go into town. Fairytale of New York is a classic though! The vibes on this are great as well.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

3/5

top 3 - Gut Feeling / (Slap Your Mammy), Too Much Paranoias, Come Back Jonee. Thought it was alright for the most part, will give another listen. Definitely interested me though, will check out their other albums.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

2/5

top 3 - Immigrant Song, Out on the Tiles, Since I’ve Been Loving You. Have listened before, can’t really get into it but maybe I have to be in a certain mood for it. Immigrant song is a classic though. I haven’t listened to all of their albums and there’s multiple on this list so I’m hoping I like those better -.-

Trio

Dolly Parton

1/5

top 3 - unsure. I don’t know how to feel. I’m just bored listening to this.

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

3/5

top 3 - Sentimental Journey, Non-Alignment Pact, Chinese Radiation.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

Nice! Didn't choose a top 3 this time because of the length. I preferred to just lay down and listen for this one.
