Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

2/5

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

5/5

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

5/5

A classic! I was 5 years old when this was first released and so I didn't listen to it seriously until much later, in my teen years. But it's been one of my favorites since the 70's.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

I'm enjoying this. But it's far from perfect. There are moments of brilliance interspersed with moments of sheer meh.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Parklife

Blur

4/5

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

I liked it a lot better than I thought I would. Hip Hop / Rap is still not my favorite genre, and I'll never be arriving home and thinking "Man I want to put on that Hip Hop album...", but I guess I have learned to tolerate it more as I've grown old.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

3/5

Definitely not my favorite Kate Bush Album, a bit bombastic and half baked.

Bad

Michael Jackson

5/5

What can be said? It's a masterpiece, every track a gem!

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

1/5

Absolute dreck. About as close to entirely unlistenable as any record I've ever heard. I am having to be really nice to myself today after having forced myself to listen to that garbage yesterday.

Sulk

The Associates

3/5

Interesting 80s pop. This act seems like they're trying very hard to be different. At times it works, some of the tracks are really good and engaging. Others seem to be trying too hard to be unique and end up being not fun to listen to.

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

Good old fashioned kick ass rock n roll! Love it!

Maxinquaye

Tricky

3/5

This is really interesting right off the bat. Listening to this, I can hear that he brought a lot to Massive Attack's music. It's interesting to hear his music without any of the other MA elements accompanying.

Lost Souls

Doves

4/5

First time I've heard this album, first time I've heard this band. I'm digging it. It's got a moody, smoldering kind of vibe. Reminds me of early Radiohead.

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

3/5

First time hearing this artist. Some really nice accompianment by David Rawlings. It's well recorded, the songs are well crafted. I liked it. But it's not really my cup of tea.

Raw Power

The Stooges

4/5

A proto punk classic! I really appreciate Iggy's energy and vibe. My taste runs more toward a bit more refinement. But this was really fun!

Smile

Brian Wilson

2/5

It started out nice with our prayer and Heroes and Villains, but it got worse with every song. These songs have got some nice music, but the lyrics are stupid and annoying. The performances are good, but they end up being good performances of bad songs. Not for me.

Homework

Daft Punk

5/5

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

1/5

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

1/5

Calenture

The Triffids

3/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

No one should ever have to listen to this. Pure dreck.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

5/5

A Brit Pop Classic, a masterpiece!

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

Brings me back. I have heard this album before, not my cup of tea for the most part with a few bright spots here and there. But I can appreciate the passion.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

1/5

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

5/5

This is really excellent! I'm upset that I haven't heard this until now! But I'm really glad that I started this 1001 album journey!

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

5/5

A masterpiece, a magnum opus.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin
