Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Good album, would listen again. Not MJ's best though.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Real good album, but feels more like a collection of songs than a cohesive listening experience.

Low

David Bowie

4/5

I know plenty of Bowie, but wasn't familiar with most of this. Great stuff! Experimental, weird, and enjoyable.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Didn't get to listen to the whole thing, but it is top notch. Doesn't get much better, would recommend others to own it!

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

2/5

Decent, but aside from a couple hit singles, it seemed a little weak. Would maybe buy if I saw it at the record shop, but wouldn't seek it out. Enjoyable listen though.

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

4/5

Listened to 2/3rds of it. Damn, should have listened sooner. Knew some of the main songs, but missed all the story telling.

Tago Mago

Can

3/5

Well, that was quite something. Feels like good music to work to or get high to. Don't know if I would be putting it on for a roadtrip. The description claims no wasted notes. Hmmmm. Can appreciate, but in a certain place.

The Stooges

4/5

Killer proto punk front to back. Amazing to think about this being from 1969! Slamming album.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

Classic, conceptual but has so many tracks that stand on their own.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

2/5

Couple real good songs. Enjoyable in the right setting, but I don't think I would regularly sit down and listen to this one front to back. Wouldn't go out of my way to add the vinyl to my collection even though it is a classic in many ways.

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

Good album, I can see why it is considered a classic. I would like a little more cohesion throughout. Would buy for collection if I saw it.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

2/5

Meh

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

2/5

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

5/5

Fantastic! First 5 star rating for me! Great music to work to.

The Joshua Tree

2/5

It is fine. I have always thought Streets with no name, still haven't found, and with or without you are basically the same sounding song. And to put them front loaded as the first three tracks is quite the choice. Rest of the album is meh.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

4/5

Real good, would be nice if Clapton was as good of a person as he is a guitar player.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Slamming. Need to buy it for the collection right now!

Metallica

3/5

2 bangers, the rest is ok.

Foo Fighters
