Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

4/5

Not a whole lot of variation on the album, but it was consistently good. Such a great voice! Makes me want to dive into his other work beyond the hits

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

This was the first album generated for me, and boy what a great start to this journey! What a pleasant, uplifting listen. Many great guitar lines and vocal harmonies sprinkled throughout. This album is about as good as it can get after only just two listens. I’m happy to have discovered this one It’s also worth checking out the bonus track High Tide Or Low Tide. Beautiful song Favorite track: Concrete Jungle

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Good songs, good times Favorites: Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Guinnivere Pre-Road Downs Helplessly Hoping

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

5/5

I’m a sucker for beautiful, lush ballads; which just so happens to fill most of this short and sweet album. It is reminiscent of the Beach Boys and a little bit of the Moody Blues. Love the mellotron textures throughout Glad to be reminded of this one. It may not be for everyone, but it definitely is for me! Favorite track: Care Of Cell 44

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

It’s a great album, go ask Alice

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

Dr. Dre

2/5

It’s iconic and influential. However, I don’t care too much for all those high end frequencies

American Idiot

Green Day

3/5

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

One of the greatest double albums ever crafted. Nearly every song is awesome. Just about as good as it gets.

Shalimar

Rahul Dev Burman

3/5

Pleasantly surprised. This is something I would have never found without this generator. The sound quality is a bit spotty, but the songs are quite good, with lots of variety. Will have to check out the film

Palo Congo

Sabu

3/5

I enjoyed the rhythms. The Congo is a cool instrument in my book I’ve been playing a lot of a few Sid Meier’s Civilization games recently, and this reminded me of the early tribal music used in those games

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

Whether played in the background or listened to intently, this album brings joy

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Not my go-to favorite Beatles album, but definitely a classic, paving the way for many more great albums from many more great artists to come

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

5/5

Tragic story. Profound lyrics. Beautiful music.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

5/5

The energy and fun of these performances seep through as though you are actually at the concert experiencing it live. Definitely my favorite lineup of the band. On here you see them stretch out and give it all to some of their greatest songs. It’s considered one of the best live albums for a reason

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

A Northern Soul

The Verve

2/5

I didn’t hate it, but not feeling too inclined to revisit it. Drive You Home was very pretty, gave Fleetwood Mac Albatross vibes

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Not a whole lot of variation on the album, but it was consistently good. Such a great voice! Makes me want to dive into his other work beyond the hits

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

5/5

Classic. Short and sweet. Every song is great 5/5 pretzels 🥨🥨🥨🥨🥨

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

3/5

It was so bad that it was actually kinda good

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

This one scared me. I actually really liked some of the sounds on here, but there were just as many sounds that I was not a fan of. It was creative, but maybe too much so. While I appreciated this, and was proud to have listened to the whole thing, I just did not like the way it made me feel. Probably won’t be listening to it again anytime soon

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

1/5

I couldn’t wait for it to be over

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

3/5

His vocal style will take some time to grow on me, but I found this album to be very interesting and unique. I think this is one that requires a few more listens to fully grasp

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

3/5

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Some call it boring, but I find the calm ballads here to be beautiful. The only downside for me is the inclusion of The Murder Mystery on this album. I don’t think it’s bad, it just doesn’t fit the same nature as all the other tracks

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

4/5

This is a great record, although I do tend to reach for Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) more often. Early Eno is so awesome. Well, all of Eno actually

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Repetitive but in a good way. Fun and funky

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

I heard this one for the first time about a year ago, and I always remember where I was. I am a huge fan of many Neil albums, but not all of them. He’s always doing something different it seems, but he’s always Neil. This is definitely one of his underrated ones, glad to see it here

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

5/5

One of the most incredible performances in not only piano or jazz, but all of music. It’s beautiful. And it works great for background or foreground listening! I love the story behind the piano used and how it wasn’t the right one or in tune. Yet that obstacle didn’t stop the music. Imperfection lead to perfection.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

I love how this album is split into electric and acoustic sides Favorite track: Since I’ve Been Loving You

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

4/5

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

4/5

This was great, especially the title track!

My Generation

The Who

3/5

It was okay. Lots to offer. But I am definitely much more of a fan of The Who to come. The Ox was really cool, it surprised me

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

5/5

An album I didn’t like when I first listened to it. But after a couple more listens upon receiving it here, I am now giving it 5 stars. It’s weird and unique in such a good way This album has a strange yet satisfying way of being both accessible and inaccessible at the same time! Favorite track: Autumn’s Child

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

3/5

Pretty cool. There’s not much variety from track to track, but I do like the vibe. Definitely different Favorite track: Tríptico

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

Very relaxing. I love the steel guitar on this record

Not a fan of this one

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

Sincere

Mj Cole

1/5

It was just so normal that it resulted in being absolutely terrible. It’s not directly bad, it’s just so forgettable. I already forgot what it sounded like lol

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

4/5

On paper this one should sound super dated. But it doesn’t; it sounds super good. I wasn’t a huge fan of Trans Europe Express which I got a few days before this one, but The Man Machine was awesome! Pretty cool

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

3/5

If this album were a horse, I would pet it. But I wouldn’t love it like our protagonist here

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

4/5

Chill

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

2/5

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

1/5

I really like Frank Zappa and the Mothers, just not this era. I get it’s important and all, but I try to rate music based on how much I personally enjoy it. I don’t enjoy this one haha

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

4/5

Lots of good tunes on here Bonus points if you listen to it while driving

Elastica

1/5

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

5/5

Ethereal

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

2/5

I do enjoy Zappas comedic take on music. But I don’t always enjoy the music itself. This album isn’t too hard to listen to, apart from the closer, but I just don’t enjoy it as much as what comes later throughout the 70s

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

3/5

Unique. I’ll give it 3 sex packets out of 5

Raw Power

The Stooges

1/5

Didn’t click for me

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

2/5

Going in, I was very curious what folk-punk would sound like I don’t think I’d listen to it again, but it was different. Maybe I would try it again if I ever find myself on a pirate ship. Or drunk. Or drunk on a pirate ship!

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Survivor

Destiny's Child

3/5

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

Favorite tracks: Mr. Tambourine Man It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue

Dirty

Sonic Youth

2/5

It rocked pretty hard, and there was lots of cool tones and stuff. However, I just simply wasn’t in the mood for this aggressive punk energy today

L.A. Woman

The Doors

5/5

Great bluesy album. Hyacinth House is amazing. Riders on the Storm is my favorite doors song, and is worth the price of admission alone. Truly the last doors album, and one of their best!
