Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

I understand why it’s important, but not my favorite.

Rio

Duran Duran

5/5

The Chauffeur is one of the greatest moody songs of all time

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

Historically Î understand this is the transition from hair metal to the harder alt rock scene of the 90s. At the same time, not my favorite. I do like Mr Brownstone tho.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Decent album, one I know very well. Some bangers.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Incredibly well produced, absolutely fantastic album!

Stardust

Willie Nelson

2/5

If this album was a seasoning, it would be flour.

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

4/5

Culturally relevant and important, if a tad repetitive.

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

Solid ambient soundscapes

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Never go wrong with Bowie

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

5/5

I had no idea Ruben Blades did music, but it’s good! Really good!

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Kinda sucks, gotta be honest. Saccharine, annoying voice, there are way better versions of this same thing done by artists who aren’t abusive pricks.

The xx

3/5

Decent album, not my favorite, but better than some stuff I’ve had so far.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Fantastic fun my one of the best rock groups of all time.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

5/5

Just a fun album and I love Solomon Burke’s voice

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

5/5

Love The Cramps

Os Mutantes

5/5

Very experimental, loved that.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

5/5

Moody gothy vibes

Pretenders

5/5

Solid album, will revisit.

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Love The Who in small doses, but their songs are so long.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

1/5

I give it one star because I can’t give negative stars. It’s the worst kind of pretentious tripe. Elevated elevator music.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

5/5

A bit of counter-cultural ribaldry, we could use something like this today.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

4/5

Good, if a tad repetitive

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

It’s an okay album, not their best.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

2/5

I understand its relevance to understand the landscape of contemporary sound. That said, not a huge fan.

Violent Femmes

5/5

An old favorite. I think this site is literally just feeding me back my Spotify, because other than Willie Nelson, this is all stuff that I already like or is in my wheelhouse. Give me more weird stuff.

Dare!

The Human League

3/5

A band that’s honesty so shitty it’s kind of inspiring. Fun garbage.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

Surprised I didn’t hate it, but a lot of the songs kinda sound samey.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

2/5

Not my taste.
