2/5

I'm enjoying the dreamy folksy nature of this first song. I thought about it a bit more and realized that I didn't really enjoy my time with the album. I kept checking to see if I was on the last song yet, and the entire thing is only ~35 minutes long. Oof.

4/5

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

It's Credence. I enjoyed the album, having heard a couple songs from it before.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

This album has so many hits. A classic.

2112

Rush

5/5

I'm a huge Rush fan, so I'm biased, but this was a great listen that brought me back to my high school days. Also, over half of the album is one song, which I think is awesome.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

I'm a big Arcade Fire fan and enjoyed listening to Neon Bible again. It doesn't beat out The Suburbs as my favorite AF album, but it's great.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. A couple of the songs were bangers, but the rest weren't my cup of tea. Overall pretty strong.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

1/5

I guess I just don't like reggae. Sorry Bob.

The Yes Album

Yes

2/5

Yes has some classics, but none of them are on this album in my opinion.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

A fun album with some cool songs. Hey Ya is one of my favorite songs of all time so I'll bump it up a bit for that.

Suzanne Vega

2/5

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

2/5

I enjoyed parts of it, but it just kinda dragged on for me. I do really love some Paul Simon songs but unfortunately none of the ones on this album stood out.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Immediate impressions upon seeing the album: wow, I know a lot of these songs! Some bangers in here, but some stinkers as well.

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

2/5

Some songs were good, but I don't think this style of dance music is for me.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

1/5

Yeah not for me.

Parklife

Blur

4/5

A fun, very British album.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

2/5

Not quite my preferred style of old timey music.

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

2/5

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

2/5

I enjoy songs where he isn't rapping. Some good stuff in here that's overshadowed by songs I wasn't particularly fond of.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

🤘 Got a little repetitive towards the middle, but it's Metallica. Master of Puppets alone makes this album worth it.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

I really enjoyed this one!

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

4/5

I really enjoyed this one!

Adele

3/5

Not too bad! Not my style of music but a good album.

The Slider

T. Rex

2/5

I thought it was fine.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

2/5

It was fine. I see how The Kinks are very influential but...

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

1/5

I got a few songs in and realized I was actively disliking every song so I stopped.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

3/5

Murmur

R.E.M.

2/5

Black Sabbath

3/5

I know all the usual Sabbath songs so it was fun to listen to a bunch that I'd never heard before. I can definitely see why they're so influential.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Really enjoying this one overall. Starts and finishes strong with some meh in the middle.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

2/5

His music is just so weird! But strangely kind of fun.

I've listened to and enjoyed Massive Attack before, but this was not the same style of music that I'm used to hearing from them.

Fun House

The Stooges

2/5

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

Chicago and Casino Pulaski Day are so good. The rest is good too! I enjoyed the album overall.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

3/5

I have to say that I Want You to Want Me and Surrender do a lot of heavy lifting for this one.

Live!

Fela Kuti

2/5

If I was there watching this live, I would be about 85% more into it. So much riffing and jazz-y stuff that had me slightly bored listening in the car.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Some classics on this album but it's not my style.
