One World

John Martyn · 1 likes

3/5

I had never heard him before. Very cool and funky at times. Chill 70s. A little ahead of his time

All Ratings

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Really Good Big Band. I haven’t heard much Basie, and it’s not a genre I listen to that often, but this is a really solid record

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

Robot music isn't something I go back to but I can appreciate the originality and influence that the band had. It's very creative

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

One of the greatest live/ blues albums of all time

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Such a beautiful and complex record. Some of my all time favorite song writing.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

one of my favorite albums of all time. A Soundtrack to my youth.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

Although this album isn't right in my wheelhouse, I never really gave it fair shot. After a drive listening I do understand why an angsty younger listener would find this music lethargic. Chester definitely writes in away that makes you feel like your not alone in these thoughts. The singles are still the best songs in my opinion, In the End does hit hard when you are struggling.

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

Not my Favorite REM album but I was a little younger to fully appreciate it when it was released. It's such an important part of the New Age/ Alt movement.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

4/5

I’m down with anything members of CSNY do. I had never heard this whole album and it’s really good. Def a green record

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Peak Bowie. Just on another level as always. Nothing has been the same since he left us.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

You can’t go wrong with Frank. Probably my favorite of his studio albums

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

V: I've owned this album for a while. Such a great Acoustic and a voice record. When I need to chill this is one I put on.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

4/5

Really like nothing I’ve ever heard. Going to dig deeper

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

It’s a decent record but the singles are what stand out. I’d be more of a greatest hits Steely fan

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

5/5

Just pure Rock power. one of the greatest bands to ever do it. Brian's Tone, Freddy's voice, the operatic sound. And Stone Cold Crazy is one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

Me Against The World

2Pac

5/5

(V) My favorite hip-hop artist of all time. Second favorite album by Pac. Post 5 shots Pac was a different animal

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

What an amazing voice. So much soul. Great album, mostly covers

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

5/5

This is a brilliant record that I hadn’t heard before. I have some Smiths records and have heard some solo stuff, but not this album. It’s amazing how many shitty people can make such great music.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

3/5

I can appreciate this music, but it’s just not something I’d personally put on.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

I appreciate and respect the Police, but have never been a big fan. The singles make this record for me.

I really enjoy this record. I have a couple of B and S records but this might be my fav I’ve heard.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

5/5

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

(V) I mean, it’s Bowie. Great record

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

4/5

I had never heard her work, and I really dig it. Good walking and thinking sounds.

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

3/5

First time checking him out, though I’ve wanted to for a while. Very 60s flower pop

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Shoegaze at its finest. Solid record

Great record for the times you want to hear a great band.

Ingenue

k.d. lang

4/5

She’s sort of under my radar other than hits. Beautiful album

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

4/5

One of the greatest hip hop records ever. I still can’t put it as high as ‘91 or A Nation of Millions

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

One of those records that you see the cover all the time and know it’s important, but you just have never heard it. I do dig it, very funky and will give it another spin

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

Dont hurt my Sister. I wish God would have heard this. He’s an asshole

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

3/5

(CD) Good album. Hadn't listened to it in a while. Average compared to great Wilco records

Yeezus

Kanye West

5/5

(CD) This album just fucks. That's it. Simple and doesn't need to be anything more. Lyrics are silly, sometimes crazy, sometimes genius. Vern is all over it. The simple mix CD artwork is classic. I didn't want to give it a 5 but I just might have to. It's not Dark Fantasy, but it's in the same HOA

Country Life

Roxy Music

3/5

Seen the cover a thousand times but for some reason never played it. Interesting music for its time. Just not for me. It sounds like the soundtrack of a cult film

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

(V) amazing early 00s album. Part of the culture in that time period

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

3/5

He’s a one of one. I dig this

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

(V) One of the greatest albums of all time. Wish I could say something more profound

Iron Maiden

4/5

I can’t fathom what it must have felt like to hear this for the first time in 1980. I’ve heard Maiden records but not this first one. Phantom was a stand out for me. Unreal

En-Tact

The Shamen

2/5

Just not my Jam at all

No Other

Gene Clark

4/5

I really dig this. All new to me

Permission to Land

The Darkness

4/5

It’s so fun and a throwback to a special time. Thing called Love is such a Jam
