Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Life on Mars, Changes are the shining stars on this album. But even the lesser known songs like Andy Warhol are great listening.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

This was my first listen to this album. I am super familiar with the singles. But it was cool to listen to the entire album from cover to cover.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Great live album. Lots of classics.

Pretenders

2/5

I used to use to not be a Pretenders fan but after listening to this album I am still not a Pretenders fan.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

Highway Star and Smoke on the Water were the only songs i was familiar with before listening to this album. Interesting album but not one I’d go back and listen to. I did go back and listen to HA and SOTW.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

Listened to this twice. After the first listen I realized I didn’t give it enough attention. I put it on a speaker for the second listen and I got a better take on the album. I don’t always fully understand why Dylan is regarded so highly but at some level I can understand it.

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

I will say that Who's Next is carried by two (maybe three) songs tops. I don't think it's an extraordinary album.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Didn’t know many songs off this album. But I enjoyed listening to them

Stankonia

OutKast

3/5

This album transported me back to a simpler time. I still fucking hate interludes though.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

This takes me back to my early 20’s. This was an album that always went well with a workout. May need to try that again.

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

4/5

This was the first time that I listened to a PIL album and I thought it was pretty good. I like it a bit more than the Sex Pistols actually. I think the song Low Life sounded a lot like a Pixies tune.

New Wave

The Auteurs

1/5

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

1/5

This is what Radiohead would sound like if Bjork was the lead singer. And I don’t say this in a good way. This was a struggle to get through.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

4/5

I enjoyed this album. Barbarism begins at home was probably my favorite off the album. Listened the the album twice.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

Great album that always takes me back to a pivotal point in my life. I didn’t appreciate how great the album was at the time. I just knew I liked it.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

This was a Beastie Boys album that flew under my radar when it came out. I owned Licensed to Ill and loved it but didn’t really know about this album until almost ten years after it came out. It could well be their best album.

C'est Chic

CHIC

1/5

Sucked

Queens of the Stone Age

Queens Of The Stone Age

4/5

First time listening to an album from this band. I enjoyed it. I will probably check out more of their work. Album was pretty consistent style wise. Interested to see what the other albums are like.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

I remember not liking the singles off this album because they sounded too polished. I’m glad I gave the whole album a listen. It was pretty good. Definitely polished but I don’t mind that now.

Young Americans

David Bowie

2/5

Fame is the only redeeming song for me on this album. Not a fan of the Philly solo on this album.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

This album takes me back to the summer of 99. A great time in my life. As for the album I think I like a lot of the non singles more than the singles.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Cypress Hill

5/5

I had never listened to this album. I only knew a few songs off of it. But this album was exceptional. I really enjoyed it.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

Mr Bluesky is the track for me on this album. Everything else was forgettable for me.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

DNF - I still love Son Of A Preacherman but I couldn’t get into the rest of the album

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

I always enjoy this band when I hear them. But I’ve never listened to one of their albums all the way through. This was pretty good.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

1/5

Wasn’t for me

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Some classics on here that I forgot were CCR.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

I don’t know anything about jazz but I enjoyed this album. It’s a perfect album to cook to

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

1/5

Didn’t really like this music

Fever Ray

1/5

Didn’t like this enough to finish listening

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

I’ve listened to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel but this might be the first time I’ve listened to this album cover to cover. I enjoyed it driving with the windows down today.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Solid album by a band i only know by singles. Enjoyed the album but wasn’t blown away by it.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

1/5

Ugh

Let It Be

The Replacements

4/5

Didn’t know much about this band prior to listening to this album. I enjoyed it and plan to check out more of their stuff. I really enjoyed the first track (on second listen) with Peter Buck on guitar.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

1/5

I skipped ahead a lot on this album. It just wasn’t for me.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

There was a time where I didn’t like the Rolling Stones at all. I’ve grown to like them and I enjoyed listening to this album for the first time.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

5/5

There are a few tracks on here that really take me back to a time when I first remember paying attention to music. Time After Time is a track that always resonated with me and I enjoy it even more 40 years later. Overall i think the album is really solid too.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Pretty cool album. I’m more in love with the album artwork than the music itself though.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

2/5

There were some interesting parts to the music but I didn’t enjoy the music overall

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

4/5

First time listening to this album. I’ve always loved New Jack Hustler but have always listened to it on the movie soundtrack. This album was pretty good though.
