What the heck was that. I have no interest in listening to that again. I am not sure why this is on the list

Maggot Brain

Jethro Tull

4/5

Great album

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

4/5

Just good music to listen too.

1/5

Good for a renaissance fair

The College Dropout

4/5

Good country album. Lots of good lyrics

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

2/5

It’s not my kinda music. But I didn’t hate it as much as the rest of the 1 stars. Rock and roll survives this one

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

It was ok. It all kinda blended together. Not sure if it was the lead singers voice or what

Signing Off

UB40

2/5

I didn’t hate it. But I also didn’t really like any of the songs. None of them stood out.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

I forgot how much I like Fiona. Really it was a different album than most 90s music. In a way she was in her own genre.

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

It was ok. I was slightly disappointed. I guess I just had High Hopes. I enjoyed it but was not blown away by any song

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

1/5

I am not sure what that was but it was not my jam. To much going on to follow. I am sure the people making this music had a hell of a time, doing Durga and hangin out.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

2/5

There were some funny lines but they were kinda repetitive.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

3/5

There are some good songs and some that are not so good. Super sad, she should have gone to rehab.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

5/5

She rubbed her legs like a cricket. Everytime I listen to the album I hear lines that make we say wow. Such a great group. Too bad Ice Cube didn’t get his $$$$$ they could have made even better.

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

2/5

I didn’t hate it. It also didn’t have any songs that I liked

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

There are a lot of good songs on this album. It made my Sunday listening to this while I played Zelda on the 64

Zombie

1/5

This is not my style. 3 long songs with a couple repetitive lyrics

Sister

3/5

Some good tunes. Some bad ones

There were some really good songs and some that had too many weird parts.

LP1

FKA twigs

1/5

Ummmmm. All the songs seemed the same

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

I could have been a punk band member. Make some noise and say some shit about authority. Either way they were one of the best early ones

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

2/5

It was a decent 80s album. There were some unique blend of blues into it.

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

1/5

Not sure what to say So it’s best to say nothing at all

The Doors

5/5

Great album. There’s some variety to make the whole album 5 star from start to finish

Gris Gris

Dr. John

2/5

I felt like I had alligators coming for me while I was listening to this one

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

It’s certainly a decent album. There’s lots going on but no songs really grab you and say I am a hit.

Fragile

Yes

4/5

I enjoyed this album. Lots going on and some songs you could jam too

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

A good live album. Jam band

Trafalgar

2/5

It was ok. One of them has a real strange voice.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

There were some good songs. A good blend between early sixties and late sixties

Common

2/5

Again I didn’t hate it but it was not all that good. I did not find myself liking any particular song

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

1/5

Where was the hallelujah song. Kept waiting for it Other than that not sure why it made the list

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

There is some really good guitar work. Lead vocals is a little blah

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

I like the album. It’s considered punk but clearly it’s not like 1970s punk. I would say it’s the beginning of alternative rock’s break from punk

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

1/5

I guess I am not all that interested in jazz

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

A good jam album with lots of good songs.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

4/5

I really liked it. Super fun

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

I I like the album. A good album to tie early 60s Motown and Gaye and wonder of the 70s

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

This may have been the birth of metal or just a song about a metal postcard?

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

4/5

I thought it was a good 80s album. There was some good music to go along with some good singing

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

2/5

I’ll give jt two because there was instruments playing and it was not jazz but it made my head hurt

The White Stripes

5/5

Great album. Just good music

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Girls singing pink

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

1/5

So strange. 1st song really set the mood.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

1/5

Nothing against the skills. But I am not into listening to someone play the piano for 20 minutes at a time

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

2/5

She sang. There were instruments. She had a few moments of this is ok.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Half the album is as 5 star as it gets. Half the album is not really all that good so it ends up at a 4. When they were clicking there was not a better band

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

1/5

I would not use this album to samba on the beach
