1999

Prince

4/5

First three tracks rank near the top of any opening three track run for an album.

Dookie

Green Day

3/5

Quality. Not my thing, but it’s good and worth the listen.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

With one of the songs that blew my mind when I first heard it (SLTS), this album is still a banger. Hadn’t listened to it from stem to stern in a long while, but it won’t be long before revisiting it again. Amazing.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

Ryan Adams

2/5

I have listened to and liked a lot of Ryan Adams’ stuff before, but apparently none of it was on this particular album. Underwhelming.

5/5

One of my favorite artists, so I made sure to listen with discernment to make sure it’s really five stars. It is.

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

3/5

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Melodrama

Lorde

3/5

As a gen Xer that knows little about this sub genre or era, Lorde seems to be a much better songwriter than a lot of the others out there. I liked this album.

GREY Area

Little Simz

3/5

As a Gen Xer that grew up on 80s and 90s rap, it was good to hear a rapper actually talk about some things that matter. Not sure if I’d explore more from this artist in the future, but this was a decent listen.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

4/5

One of my favorite rap groups, this album falls just short of the previous and following efforts of PE. Still a strong 4/5, though.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

2/5

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

2/5

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke
