Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Likes: Running up that hill, the big sky, jig of life, Hello earth Dislikes: waking the witch Took 2 listens to get into it (didn’t realize it was a concept album lol). Instrumentals are Immersive and unique but feel like there’s some lulls on the second side

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Likes: hanging on the telephone, 11:59, heart of glass Fun and energetic throughout

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

It’s consistent throughout and works as something to have in the background, but not a lot sticks out to me. Likes: bigmouth strikes again

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Enjoyable listen with nice harmonies and instrumentals. Likes: Judy blue eyes, pre-road downs, wooden ships, long time gone

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

I’m a sucker for some good keys but doesn’t have quite as much appeal as Born to Run has. Likes: badlands, something in the night, racing in the street, promised land

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Funky! Likes: little child runnin wild, pusherman, Freddie’s dead, no thing on me, superfly

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

2/5

First artist on this list so far who I had no prior knowledge about, so went in blind. A unique sound at first, but as the album goes, everything starts to sound the same and blend. Likes: Sidewalk serfer girl, juxtapozed with u

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

While the album’s middle parts don’t have as much pull as the incredible start and finish, it’s not enough to bring down the overall quality of this album. Likes: Baba O’Riley, The Song is Over, Going Mobile, Behind Blue Eyes, Won’t Get Fooled Again

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

2/5

A little too twangy for me. Likes: Return of the Grievous Angel, In My Hour of Darkness

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

Really cool blend of jazz and rock, but some songs feel that they overstay their welcome. Likes: Peaches En Regalia, Son of Mr. Green Genes, It Must Be A Camel

Shalimar

Rahul Dev Burman

3/5

Fun and enjoyable listen throughout, but ultimately something I probably wouldn’t give a re-listen to Likes: Title Music, Countess’ Caper, Baby Let’s Dance Together

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

My favorite Beatles album (as of now). Likes: You Won’t See Me, Nowhere Man, Michelle, In My Life, Wait

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

3/5

Elements of Zopf bring this down for me but otherwise a really peaceful and fun listen. Likes: Penguin Cafe Single, The Sound of Someone You Love Who’s Going Away and It Doesn’t Matter

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

2/5

I don’t hate it, it’s just not my genre. Likes: One More Hour, Little Babies

The Joshua Tree

3/5

Even though this album loses steam pretty quickly, I would have preferred this one added to my ITunes without my consent back in the day. Likes: Where the Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, With or Without You
