Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra · 1 likes

4/5

I want to rank this a 5, I was not unhappy with it, but I also know I have to be in the right mood to really enjoy this. Every song sounds similar, which again, isn't necessarily bad, but it's enough to not give it a 5.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

Pretty alright, some solid radio favorites but also the others stand on their own ok. The album has stood the test of time longer than I thought it would.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

Despite the over-the-top, cheesy/corny/cringe, it's impossible not to love this album. A perfect masterpiece.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

5/5

Great time!

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

A nice listen with a couple classic hits. Album as a whole is best for rainy Saturday mornings. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means not every Saturday morning is a rainy one.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

2/5

No thanks. Got bored.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Fun trip.

Blur

3/5

Woo hoo! But album as a whole, is just ok.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Classic, never gets old.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

...in the right place. Great songs scattered about a mostly great album.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

2/5

California Stars... Couldn't save the album from being kinda borin/depressing.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Iconic songs from an iconic voice. Every song on this album is someone's favorite song.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

Eh, just ok, eventually my brain just tuned it out.

Hotel California

Eagles

1/5

I had a good childhood, I heard this album a lot back then... But this album doesn't make me feel nostalgic, it just annoys me. Maybe that means something deeper about my childhood, or maybe it just means the Eagles are boring.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Started slow, turned into a fun 3... But then it saxed me up and by the time it got to The Funky Space Reincarnation, it was a definite 5. So much funking groove.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

1/5

Melancholy garbage. I appreciate the song These Days (St. Vincent's version is top notch), but Nico was right, the strings and flutes make this album almost unlistenable.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

Fun, wide variety of sounds.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Light reminiscing, all thing go.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

1/5

Yawn

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

Punk yeah! That was fun!

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Real groovy, kept me hooked the whole album, way better than expected. I can't believe I've never listened to this before.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

Perfectly vulgar, had fun, would do again...

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

3/5

I still don't know if I love this or hate it, so I think it gets a 3... If I re-listened the vote might go up or down depending on the day and my mood, which I further think solidifies the need for this album to be a 3.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

The rap I wasn't supposed to listen to as a kid, wasn't all that bad.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

Just ok...lost interest halfway through.

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

3/5

I don't hate his voice, but this was my first time paying attention to everything else on this album, musically it's purdy good.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

3/5

Eh, only giving three because of the reminiscing I did about Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Nostalgic feeling, now I want a lemonade or a cheap cold beer... Idk what that means, but it was a fun listen.

The Yes Album

Yes

5/5

Yes, all good people should give this album a 5. Stanky bass, so many diverse sounds.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Incredible talent

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

Probably in my top 25 of all time. Classic.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

5/5

Sounds like a spring Saturday morning cleaning the garage with my dad in the 90s.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Fun and jazzy, not too poppy, solid album.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

5/5

I like jam bands, and though I've never been a flag carrying Allman Brothers Band fan, this album has me questioning why I haven't given them more time, thanks for letting me give them more time. It was fun.

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

A couple ok tunes, overall kinda boring.

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

4/5

This album started as a 1 or 2, but the tragedy really amped up in the middle and the stories were thrilling.

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

1/5

Despite my appreciation for Killing Moon, I did not enjoy this album.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Very well produced, some solid tunes, got a little bored by the end.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Even my kids enjoyed this album.

Night Life

Ray Price

2/5

I appreciate a good drinking tune, but these were just meh.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

1/5

Booooorrrring,... She has talent, but this listen couldn't end fast enough.

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

3/5

I wanted to like this more, it was good but not great.

Eternally Yours

The Saints

3/5

It started fun, still wanted more from it.

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

5/5

Really really great. 10x better than all the AI lofi hip hop channels and videos on YouTube.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

This album seems particularly fitting for the crazy year of 2026 and world events going on currently.

Truth

Jeff Beck

4/5

Classic rock sounds, not the biggest fan of Rod's voice, but the rest of the talent here makes up for it.

Gold

Ryan Adams

1/5

Vanilla, over-produced, lifeless, boring, gross.... were the first words that came to mind...

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

Nasty! In the best way possible. Loved it.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

There's something good to find in nearly every track on this album. So good.

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

1/5

Ahead of its time does not always equal good or foundational.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Fun, but not exceptional.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

I like the blues and I like BB, but the songs and the album as a whole were just too short. It was just a blues appetizers...

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

4/5

First impression was obviously pretty low, but I embraced the weirdness factor and landed on a shakey 3/5... But then I reminded myself about active listening and eventually that led me to bump it up to a 4. It not just weird for weirdness sake, there's some real substance throughout the album. If the Flaming Lips had stuck to blues rock, this is what they would have sounded like. It also reminded me quite a bit of various Jack White productions.

Peter Gabriel

5/5

Simultaneously everything I love and hate about most music from the 80's. The fact that it can exist in both planes with equal abundance in my mushy grey brainz means it gets a 4/5, though I'm tempted to give it a 5/5 because of that reason alone. F$&@ it, it's getting a 5 for being the actual definition of antithesis.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Contemplative and serious but also silly and fun. Solid listen.

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

Lots of nostalgia for me for this album. Some big hits for sure, I had assumed it would get a 5, but after listening I'm ok with it getting a 4.
