Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John · 1 likes

5/5

I was expecting to like this album but god I love it. Such a rich tapestry of words and musicianship. Plus god, I love the sound of a Gibson EB-3

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Classic bluesy progy rock. I’ll always prefer II and IV but I do remember listening to this one a lot when I had a big classic rock phase in middle/high school.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

This was phenomenal, great chill vibes but the star of the show is Scott LaFaro’s impeccable bass work.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

OK Computer

Radiohead

2/5

Exit Music, Electioneering, and No Surprises were cool. The rest of that album also happened I guess. I could be meaner if I wanted but I also don’t feel that passionate about my dislike of them, just profound indifference like before.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Iconic. Incredibly thoughtful with musical genius. Not much to say cause the music speaks for itself.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

5/5

Oh how did I never see this before, this is sick. 90s punk with horns, great energy, really fun and full soundscape. Highlight is Fat Lip.

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

4/5

If you include Doctor Pressure with Miami Sound Machine, this becomes an easy 4. Starts kind of slow but from track 5 onwards this is some real great classic 90s house

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

This album has such a… joyous quality to it. The grooves are infectious, the lyrics are fun and witty, the flows are perfect. This whole album just makes me wanna smile.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

2/5

That was some music I guess. Like maybe they were the progenitor of all the tropes of hair metal and I listened to far too much dad rock in high school but there was really nothing that really excited me.

Pink Flag

Wire

4/5

High energy and gritty from start to finish. Such pure punk in a quirky package.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

5/5

Electric

The Cult

2/5

Metallica

3/5

Does this album need to be on this list? No. Groove metal Metallica really doesn’t need much dwelling on. That said, Sad But True is one of the platonic ideals of groove metal, so this album is worth listening to for that.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Turns out every member of Deep Purple is extremely good at what they’re doing. I should… probably listen to more of them lol. Criminally undersold by smoke on the water lmao. I knew this but I still never dove into them

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

2/5

Well, it’s better than I feared but worse than I hoped. My reaction to the first song was saying “I think I’m too gay for this” out loud lmao. There’s some cool steel guitar work and I Really Don’t Want to Know is a really sweet love song but this album generally didn’t make me feel anything

Tical

Method Man

4/5

Big mid tempo chilling and thinking sort of album. Your not gonna get catchy hooks but you will hear fantastic beats and killer rhymes

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Legendary. Still hits hard and depressingly still relevant commentary.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

Like I don’t hate the album but i don’t know, it sounds like a Fat Boy Slim album

Whatever

Aimee Mann

2/5

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

4/5

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

Shadowland

k.d. lang

4/5

I’m not normally a fan of country, but I also didn’t know there was an out lesbian doing it in the 80s and 90s. And wow what a hauntingly beautiful voice, combined with the immaculate production really elevates it for me.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

3/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

Femi Kuti

5/5

I hesitate to describe this as jam but this hits a lot of notes for me that jam bands do. I loved it the whole time, just full of infectious grooves the whole album.

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5
