A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Quite a few songs I didn't reconise which was unexpected. I've never been a huge fan of The Beatles though.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Some surprising sounds I can see why this stuff was groundbreaking in its time

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

3/5

Very inoffensive

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Did not spark joy

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

1/5

had to turn it off after "Hey, little girl, is your daddy home? Did he go away and leave you all alone? I got a bad desire Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire"

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

4/5

Probably also not aged that well but some of the lyrics are surprisingly wholesome for the genre and era. I'd listen again

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

I never liked this album when I was younger but i'm a fan these days apparantly

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

3/5

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Copper Blue

Sugar

3/5

The thing about these older albums is that they walked so later bands could run but it feels hard to give them the credit when there are probably 20 bands in the genre that i'd reach for before them.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

4/5

That was fun and interesting. I'll probably add it to the rotation but its not gonna become a new favourite.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

3/5

Fine/cool for background listening but too many tracks that I ended up skipping 5 mins in cos I didn't feel like listening to another few mins of the same thing so not quite cool enough for a 4. I guess if i was really high i might change my mind

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

I had forgotten i listened to this on friday which kinda says a lot. I did enjoy it at the time but not gonna win any awards from me.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

3/5

Wasnt sold at first but it grew on me.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

5/5

Perfect in every way, no notes
