Pearl Jam

5/5

one of my all time favorites

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Definitelly interesting, will give another listen.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Night Shift was nice. Some were less to my taste because of the repetition, but the mood was nice because of guitars. I don't like the mix. Voodoo dolly was cool.

Hms Fable

Shack

2/5

Dad rock, did nothing for me.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Not memorable for me, but sounds good

Blur

3/5

I'm guessing this isn't something I was supposed silently on my headphones to listen to while at work because it just didn't feel interesting. The last song was cool, though.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Very short but all hits. Makes sense why he was so popular.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Amazing sounding guitars. I don't think I will be coming back, even though some songs were amazing.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Great singing, but the album and the arrangements did not capture my attention.

Ananda Shankar

3/5

Very interesting and the arrangements are great. The in-your-face sitar gets repetative after a couple of songs. Mamata was great.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

2/5

I can see why someone would like this but it just isn’t enough of anything for me.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

This album had a lot going on. Some songs were sounding so good it felt like they were actually touching my brain. Some of if was boring.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

2/5

I don't see it.

Tracy Chapman

5/5

Great sounding guitars and vocals. Obviously great songs. "For You" was beautiful.

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

4/5

Feels extremely 90's but not outdated. Got a bit forgetful for me in the end.

The xx

4/5

Used to listen to this all the time so it's hard to give it an honest review since all the songs feel familiar and natural. If I had to give it a flaw, it would definitely be the lack of range. Everything feels the same, like describing the same feeling even though some are happy and some are sad songs. But I guess that gives it a feeling of cohesiveness. Favorites: Intro, Fantasy, Crystalised.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

Cool album, obviously some songs very familiar. I liked: - I bet you look good on the dancefloor - Red light indicates doors are secured - When the sun goes down The songs are fast, precise and with great choruses. The drums stand out to me.

No Other

Gene Clark

2/5

I'm sorry, this was just boring. I don't understand how this is important.

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

Extremely high energy, nice guitar parts and pumping drums. Ultimately, it felt lacking some structure to me, but I can understand why it was important.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

5/5

I did not expect to like this as much as I did. This album is crazy, has many epic moments. It felt extremely 80s but in the best way possible. I feel like this is very close to what The Clash were doing in the later years but in a different genre. I especially liked the long and epic "Welcome to The Pleasuredome" (song).

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

Fun listen and some classic songs. "Mama liked the Roses" was a find for me.

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Nothing about this made me feel I needed to hear this before I die. Most songs felt familiar in a boring way. Some were just too much like "Jesus" and "The Murder Mystery". I'm not surprised "Candy Says" and "Pale Blue Eyes" stand out with listen count because they were really stand outs on the album for me.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

2/5

The Velvet Underground two days in a row... This might make me biased. But music is biased already, I guess. I'm sorry, this was boring at times and noisy at different times. I will not be coming back to this.

Among The Living

Anthrax

4/5

Fast songs, heavy guitars, high pitch drums - what more could you want? Well, apparently different vocals. Might be the reason I never got into this band. Still liked this.

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

3/5

The guitars were pretty harsh and noisy but the drums were clear and beautiful. Why? The songs were not offensive, but were not memorable for me either. For example, "Hangin' with Howard Marks" starts great IMO, but goes nowhere. That's how the whole thing felt to me.

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

I liked "Rio", "My Own Way" and really liked "The Chauffer". The rest was kind of forgettable and repetitive.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

This felt cheesy to me. I liked "Jump" and "Panama" but the rest was all crazy sex talk.

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Songs I liked: - Sunrise - Love Vigilantes - Elegia Very moody, but some of it felt too soft to me. I liked it all in all.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

Great song. Oh, that was the whole album? Oops. I guess I liked the sound and the vibe and "The Model" was really good, but the rest was just fun, but not in a way that would make me want to listen to this again.

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

A truly great album. So soft and heavy at the same time. Today is an extremely cloudy and rainy day so this fit like a glove. Nothing about this was virtouso or show-offy - completely in the opposite direction. Definitely a revelation for me, even though I gave Radiohead a listen from time to time. I think i need to give this a proper listen and a read of the lyrics. Favs: - Everything in its right place - How to disappear completely - Idioteque

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

5/5

I have of course heard the hits but had no idea they fit so well inside of a cohesive album. Some surprises: - Hoodoo - Assassin - Soldier's Poem !!! Albums like these are what keep me doing this challenge.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

You can just feel this was made by someone who made a lot of good music already. It has it all; hits, sad songs, deep cuts, ... I liked it.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

2/5

I would not call this forgettable since I could not even remember it in the first place.

Vespertine

Björk

4/5

This felt surreal but raw. Kind of uncanny, I don't really know where to put it. I liked it, though.

Le Tigre

1/5

I'm happy this was short. To me it felt they were trying really hard to sound like not trying. I understand it has a political background, but I do not care to listen to the message if the medium is boring.
