Rage Against The Machine

2/5

It just becomes too much noise after a while. Don't need that much rage in my life.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

3/5

It's not my favorite but not the worst.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Pretty chill music overall which is what I expected. Good background music.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

I like the overall sound but I can't stand the singer's voice unfortunately.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

I like their sound quite a bit. Fairytale of New York was a great song. Quite a different sound than what I'm used to listening to.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

1/5

It's just noise. Constant incoherent noise.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Not terrible. I love Hallelujah but everything else was OK.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Jimi is obviously one of the best guitarists ever. I enjoy the more "traditional" music on this but not so much the "experimental" stuff. Overall I like it.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

1/5

Wow, that was terrible. I didn't enjoy any of it.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

I liked it. Not much else to say, haha.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

I'm not a rap fan at all, but this early stuff isn't actually too bad. It has a nice beat to it and I can understand what they are saying, so that's nice.

Hms Fable

Shack

4/5

I really like this. Nice sound, a bit "raw", but overall something I'd listen to again.

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

Not a huge fan of this style of music, but it makes for good background music.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

5/5

This is classic. Love it, and even heard some new songs I'd never heard before that I thought were great.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

This is going to sound like an insult, but it's really not. This is like the best elevator music ever. I love listening to them just jam. Not what I'm looking for in my everyday music listening, but I still appreciate it.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

2/5

Not a fan of this. Maybe if I was an edgy 20-year old still, but I'm past that point in my life.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

Why does it always sound like he's out of breath when he's singing/talking?

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

I like this a lot. Love me some old time swing and Sinatra is great!

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

2/5

Not for me.

Wow, this was great. Such a great pianist I had never even heard of.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

Good old music. Enjoyed it.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

This is great. I almost felt like I was in the room with him, just listening to him jam.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Some good old jazz music. I like it.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Great piano music.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Metallica is good, but this is a lot for one sitting for me. I prefer them in smaller doses.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Enjoyed it. Never even knew who sang We Are Family before.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I actually liked this a lot more than I expected. They had almost a folksy sound I wasn't aware of in the few songs I knew of theirs.

Common

1/5

Not for me.

Ctrl

SZA

1/5

Worst album I've heard in here so far. Couldn't even finish it.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Good ol' blues.

Low

David Bowie

4/5

I like Bowie. A bit different while still sounding like music.

Smile

Brian Wilson

4/5

I love Beach Boys so this was a fun surprise. Definitely has a similar sound.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

1/5

I am not high enough to understand this.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

It's Jimi. Good music, great guitarist.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Always a classic. Good music for sure.

Ramones

3/5

I feel like I listened to the same song over and over for an hour. I like that song, though so it's not all bad.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

2/5

Not for me.

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Not what I was expecting. Not terrible, not great. Right in the middle for me.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

Very fun. Very relaxing. Good music

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

I like this style. Pretty good overall, great drums, guitar, and bass for sure.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

4/5

This one is hard for me because there are some songs that I really like and some that I really don't like at all. Their style is kind of everywhere, which I appreciate. Overall it's good.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Pretty surprised by this. Reminded me of Florence and the Machine. Liked some songs more than others. Good overall.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Good album.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

This is just music that makes you feel good.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

I had never heard of him so I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Kind of a mix of old school and new school sound.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

1/5

This is not for me at all. Did not enjoy any of it.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

1/5

This is terrible.

Music Has The Right To Children

It's interesting at least. Good background music while I'm working.

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

It's interesting. Not my favorite but interesting at lease.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

Good jazz music. Once again, not what I want to always listen to but I still enjoy it.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

3/5

Not bad jam music. I don't need an entire album of it though.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

3/5

I had really only heard Rehab, which is a song that just makes me sad because of how she ended up dying. But she kind of has an old school sound, with a lot of different instruments which is very unique. Still not my favorite style but it was better than I was expecting.

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

2/5

Not for me.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

This just made me happy. Really enjoyed it.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

Love it. Definitely my favorite album so far. ELO is so good.
