Listenable. Will I seek it out? Not sure.

If I didn’t speak English- maybe. Let’s have a toast for this piece of shit.

The Cars

5/5

One of my favorites. Played this album frequently as a kid. Amazing sounds and creativity that still affect me the same way.

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

I’ve never been a fan of Green Day, but I will say I was impressed with the production quality, and listening to the whole album in order gave the songs a distinct context… lyrics-wise, there seems to be a lot of overlap and several songs seem to be about the same thing.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

3/5

.cool. I thought the album got better as it went along. Fantastic Voyage was my favorite.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

I love some NY songs. Did not love this album.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

Poetic, artistic, of its era…

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

4/5

Technically excellent. Better than expected.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

4/5

Poetic, odd, bold, dreamy. I wish I had been introduced to this as a teenager.

Different Class

Pulp

1/5

It’s music I guess. Not my kind. Sounds like lyrics written by a high school boy.

Solid Air

John Martyn

3/5

Listenable. Will I seek it out? Not sure.

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

I am a big fan of The Boatman’s Call. For many years it was my only Nick Cave. I think that makes it harder for me to enjoy his other albums, but maybe if I listened to them as much as the boatman call I would love it too.

War

4/5

This was one of the first albums that hit when I was in early teenage years, so it was an important album for me and my friends. Haven’t listened to the whole album in many years. It is quality in my opinion. Actually heard it differently now that I’m old.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

If I didn’t speak English- maybe. Let’s have a toast for this piece of shit.

New York Dolls

3/5

Had a pretty negative review half-written. Dog woke me up at 4:30 am… put my earbuds in, this came on, and hearing it for a second time totally changed my mind. I’ll listen to this again, and maybe I’ll add another star…

Pretenders

4/5

Some well known songs from the radio, and some I’ve never heard. I’m impressed with the production and listen-ability even those I’ve never heard.

Debut

Björk

4/5

My wife loves Björk. I don’t, but I did very much enjoy the soundtrack to dancer in the darkness. I guess I’ve never listened to Björk, this album specifically on my own terms, but when I did, I really got into it.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Never was a fan of JP, but as I’m finding now that I’m 15 albums in, listening to an album from beginning to end does give context and better understanding of a group’s music.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

2/5

Enjoyed the first song, but after that it was a challenge.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Ok, mellow and smooth. For me, more background music, will have to try again in different circumstances.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

Uneven album, but some really good moments. Who new that Dave Matthew’s, Jack Johnson and others are doing impression of this guy!

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

I’ve known this album since my parents played it on the 8 track in our used Duster. One of the best.

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

4/5

I’ve listened to Morriset in the past, though I’m not sure I knew any of these songs. Even at first listen I was struck but the melodious sounds and evocative lyrics.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

3/5

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

2/5

Aladdin Sane
