2/5

This is exactly what I figured the 60s would sound like. Very hippy dippy but not my scene.

Abraxas

Santana

3/5

Better than I expected. Almost kind of jazzy, but acid jazz. Wouldn’t seek it out to play it, but would leave it on the background if it came on.

American Idiot

Green Day

2/5

I can understand why people like it, but it’s still quite generic, even repetitive.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Good album and very melodic. Took the 80s sound and advanced it.

B-52's

The B-52's

4/5

All good songs even though they’re kinda out there. Good atmosphere. I guess that’s what the 70s were like!

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

Every single one of these songs was played in a Pier 1 Imports in the 90s. Fun album, but drags towards the end.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

It’s never the first Radiohead album I think of, but is good overall. The singles carry it, and it’s not my fav by the group overall. Still, a solid album overall.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

2/5

Not my jam. Pretty repetitive.

Homework

Daft Punk

1/5

Didn’t make it through. I like electro and electronica music, and though they are pioneers in the field, especially laying in more DJ-type effects, this doesn’t improve upon the electro sounds of the 80s. The songs are made up of sound effects and so much longer than they need to be without any progression. No thank you.

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

4/5

I forgot how much I liked Royksopp and this album. It’s a fun, melodic, and an easy listen to end the day.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

It’s pretty good, but it’s not outstanding. Mother is just weird.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

I actually really liked this album despite never going out of my way to listen to Dylan. Great way to start my morning with some twangy harmonica.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

3/5

Not bad, but nothing special. I had never heard of this band before.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

2/5

This is exactly what I figured the 60s would sound like. Very hippy dippy but not my scene.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

2/5

The hits are good, but the album is repetitive and it’s hard to differentiate the songs from one another. Also, not a single sound of a per to be heard.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Very groovy. I liked taking a trip with each song, but it’s a long album.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Just a really good album.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

2/5

The hits are the hits, but they’re not even that good. I don’t think they’ve stood the test of time.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

4/5

I’ve never heard of this band, but they have a really cool East Coast, folk/rock sound that I’m into. Really enjoyed this album.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Neil Young is a Canadian treasure for all his great music. Wonderful artist and album.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

Good jam with a fascinating history.

The Doors

4/5

Great album, so much more acid organ than I remembered…

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

2/5

Wasn’t my jam. Never heard of this band before, but the songs and instruments in it seemed uncoordinated.

LP1

FKA twigs

2/5

I should enjoy this music, because I typically enjoy Lofi and chill music, but it’s just not my style.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

Great album, a whole bunch of bops. I’ll be back for more.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

3/5

The hits Juicy and Big Poppa are the obvious standouts. I can always do without the skits/interludes in between.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

It’s Bob Dylan album #2 for me. Still solid, easy listening.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Solid influential album. Yes.

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Pretty solid album. I’ve never heard of this group before, but they rock.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

It’s the 80s in a bottle. Totally rad.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

It’s Prince!

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Classic Bowie. Moss Garden is such a trip.

Bad Company

2/5

Nothing stands out. It was okay.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

2/5

Perfectly represents the cusp of the 80s switching over to the 90s. But his crooner voice is just too much for me. So much pan flute.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

This album holds up! I first heard it about 20 years ago and loved it then, and still love it now.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

This is a dope dream wave album. Will listen again.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Great jazz album. I need to be in a specific mood to listen to jazz, and it’s not all that often, but his skills are top notch.

Slipknot

2/5

Just too screamy.

Tommy

The Who

3/5

Good album, perfect eclectic while working.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

3/5

It was okay. Too many tempo changes and variables to be considered one song, and just a few veeeery long tunes.

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

2/5

This album is all over the place. Avant-garde for the time perhaps, but isn’t my style.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

More jazzy than I expected it would be, but then that harmonica hits. I’m totally here for it.

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

2/5

It was fine. Nothing special.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

It’s fun!

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

1/5

This album is repetitive and full of cheap thrills.

Faith

George Michael

2/5

Every song is either about religion (expected) and/or sex (not expected).

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

2/5

Odd live album, short and played one song twice? Equal parts chatting and singing.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

3/5

Interesting album- never heard of this group before. Good sound, but the talking-like vocals sounded boring.

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

It was so-so. Not bad, not great.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Good beats, but just okay.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Jamming and interesting though a 2026 lens
