Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Rapid rating based on the track listing and the shit ton of Beatles I listened to way back in the day. Solid theme album, with their best song period at the end. Not quite a high end Zep or Floyd 5, but a 5 nonetheless.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

3/5

I like Radiohead. They're unique and adventurous. But this album was a bit too different at times for too long. A few really good songs. A few decent listens. But another 3.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Brought me back to the days when Kris and I would slam dance for hours at all night raves.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

3/5

Love the 2 songs I already knew, Lucretia My Reflection and This Corrosion. The rest was a mix of minor hits and misses. Reminded me of Kris and I in our Goth phase.

Femi Kuti

3/5

I was not familiar with this artist. Enjoyable listen. I was hoping it would be more Talking Headsish but it was jazzy.

Cut

The Slits

1/5

Oh boy where to start? I was thinking late 70s punk, it's gotta be good! No, it wasn't. At least they tried?

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

I was familiar with several War hits but this was my first deep dive into one of their albums. Very enjoyable listen overall. But some songs were a bit too long and/or too mellow for my liking. My 2 favorite War songs, Spill the Wine and Low Rider, are not on this album.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

I had this CD way back in the day and listened to it quite a bit for a while. It was unique and fun at the time but it's not something I kept going back to. Certainly not as good and rich as some of the old Simon and Garfunkel tunes.

The Band

3/5

Love the Pixies. Several of my favorite Pixies song, like Where is My Mind and Monkey Gone to Heaven, aren't on this album. Velouria is a great tune and this album was a good listen overall. Solid 3.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

I liked the songs I had already heard. I liked how raw the band is on others, but the others were a mix of hits and misses. An OK 3.

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

Love REM. However, this isn't one of my favorite REM albums. And Stand is one of my least favorite REM songs. Low 3.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Love the Pixies. Several of my favorite Pixies song, like Where is My Mind and Monkey Gone to Heaven, aren't on this album. Velouria is a great tune and this album was a good listen overall. Solid 3.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Sensing a common theme. Love the artist .... but. Maybe I'm not a deep diver? High 3 because it's Jimi.

Queen II

Queen

3/5

I was not at all familiar with this album so decided to give it a whirl. After all, it's Queen. And Queen was awesome. Seemed like a band still figuring stuff out. Like "we're on our way to the amazing Bohemian Rhapsody but not." Most songs could have used more of the amazing vocals of Freddie Mercury. An average 3.

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

A really nice listen. Didn't have a tall tropical drink in hand, but should have. Only a few songs I had heard before, and doesn't have some of my favorites, but a solid 3.

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Amazing album by an amazing band. Saw them play in McNichol's Arena way back in the day. This album was their apex. They had some great stuff prior to it, then declined after it.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Not my favorite Zep album but it gets a 4 because it's Zep. The Immigrant Song is a great hockey song.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

Had this on CD and enjoyed it immensely. Cobain was a legendary talent. Loved the cover of Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Great album by a great and influential band. My favorite tracks are Heroin and Venus in Furs.
