Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

2/5

Songs are too long. I remember the singles.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Young Americans

David Bowie

2/5

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Loved the jazzy Twisted.

Tracy Chapman

3/5

Didn’t realize her advocacy especially at the time

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

1/5

Couldn’t get through it unfortunately.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

The Dandy Warhols

3/5

The long instrumentals at the end threw off the overall album

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

1/5

Oakenfold remixes slightly improved, but not by much.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Solid Marley

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Classic. 2 Marley albums in a row!

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

I need to listen again with the tracks separated instead of two long halves of the album.

Cross

Justice

3/5

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

1/5

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

3/5

Solid West coast 90s gangsta rap. Needs to be considered in the rap context of the time.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Trying not to let nostalgia tint the view of the album, but it’s really solid. Billy’s voice is Billy’s voice, but I really enjoyed listening to this.

Odelay

Beck

5/5

Slightly biased because I remember this, but even with nostalgia glasses I think this is a really good capture of the 90s alternative music at the time. 5*

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

Did not grab me as much as some of the other albums. Also. 3 Bob Marley albums in my first two weeks of this challenge.

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

1/5

I do remember the single, but I cannot get through this one.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Trying to look at this without knowing it’s the Stones to see how it sounds.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

Better than I expected. I recognized some of the songs as singles.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

I think she has significant talent. The taint of Puff Daddy is affecting my view of the album as a whole with the first track Honey sounding very much like it could have been on a Bad Boy compilation cd at the time.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

I like this style of jazz

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

The Stone Roses

2/5

Didn’t stand out for me. Didn’t know them at the time either.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones
