Ramones

3/5

Easy to see how this album/band influenced the sound of punk rock. Several of their songs sound very similar, but ooze the essence of punk rock. 3/5

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

What Madonna tries to emulate. Loved listening to other Lauper songs I did not know. Fun vibe

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

2/5

Fun, upbeat background music. Something I would easily throw on for a dinner party or a lively date night at home. Not something I would put on for actual listening. 2/5

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

The epitome of what I think when I hear Green Day. Classic punk rock album. Tells a story through the songs, which is not something I see much now. Thought adapting this to a Broadway musical was odd before, but after listening completely understand why! 5/5

Joan Armatrading

1/5

Slow, boring, and not my style. Not something I would ever listen to. Would turn off if it came on the radio, although I think it has an audience, just not me. 1/5

Smash

The Offspring

5/5

Love the punk sound, as it is my fav genre. Slaps hard

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Wow! I knew Jimi Hendrix could play a mean guitar, but his music is transcendental. Easy listening + Rock + psychedelic vibes, all on top of being the master of guitar. Blew me away! 5/5

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Classic Elton John sound. Tiny Dancer starts things off great, but the hidden gem is Indian Sunset. Razor Face also slaps. The rest of the album is fairly meh to me. Elton John definitely has better albums, even if all his music is good. 3/5

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

Very encompassing. Feels like getting blasted by a wall of sound. Did not finish due to overstimulation. 1/5

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

4/5

Fun and jazzy, but also poppy. Gives me Sing Street vibes.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

5/5

Never listened to Willie much, but this album is incredible. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this, as I am not normally a country fan

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Epitome of RHCP. Exactly what I would expect from them. Classic California sounds that makes me feel like I am in LA.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

4/5

Great dance songs! Got me moving in my chair at work. Would throw on for a party for sure

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Not the greatest voice, but the lack of perfection adds a sense of raw realness that is missed in a lot of today's music. Feels gritty and heartfelt in a way I have not heard in a long time. 3/5

System Of A Down

4/5

Definitely feels like what I think of when I hear System of a Down. Heavy metal, but with an intent. Love the political messaging in several songs. For sure dig this. 4/5

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Did not enjoy as much as Californication, but the album grows as it goes on

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

Jazzy and folksy at the same time. Not bad for a cozy day. Relaxing, but not boring or slow. 3/5

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

Exactly what I think of when I think Michael Jackson. It is no surprise he was a massive star when you listen to this album. 5/5

Me Against The World

2Pac

2/5

Not my cup of tea. Love the introspective aspect of the lyrics, but I personally would never listen for my own pleasure. 2/5

Close To The Edge

Yes

2/5

Feels fairly generic. Does not really move the needle for me. Decent sound at least. 2/5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Once again, this album gives Sing Street vibes. Easy rock, but fun and nice to listen to. 3/5

1984

Van Halen

5/5

Amazing album. At times feels like a Van Halen greatest hits album. Classic Rock at its finest. 5/5
