After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

The whole thing was fine. I thought it was fairly repetitive.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

All I think about is the scene in the office with Michael and Darryl in the moving truck when Darryl is teaching Michael the Blues. It's the same song.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Love this album, so many great songs. It's crazy to think of all the hits he got out of this one.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

I really liked this one. I had heard of them but never gave them much thought when I was younger. I should have

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

4/5

I liked this more than I thought I would. I hadn't heard of them at all, but it was right up my alley

Violent Femmes

4/5

I liked this a lot. Felt very blues-rocky to me. Almost a 5

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

1/5

Really not my style. I can respect it and she's very talented but I will likely never listen to it again

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

Good, fits right in with a lot of the stuff from that era. Considering I had never heard of them and they don't sound out of place next to any of those bands is kind of sad. Surprised they didn't make it bigger

Sister

Sonic Youth

4/5

I really liked this one. I have been meaning to listen to more Sonic Youth, I'm glad I did. This was close to a 5 for me.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

not as good as the other bob marley album but still excellent

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

2/5

It's fine, just not something I'm ever going to listen to again or really appreciate.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

there's no bad excuse for another listen of Nevermind, 6 stars.

Kid A

Radiohead

2/5

super disappointed in this one. 1 star bonus for being 90s

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

3/5

I had 0 clue what to expect with this but it certainly wasn't that. I felt this was the most up and down album so far. Some tracks I was thinking wtf am I listening to while others I really enjoyed. Unlikely to ever listen to it again though

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

I've heard most of it, but still a great album. No notes.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

I did not see this one coming. I kind of assumed I wasn't going to like this but it was funky and fun, definitely enjoyed listening to it. Went through it a couple of times.

Green

R.E.M.

5/5

This is another one I only knew the hits off of, excellent album all around though. I think Orange Crush might be my favorite REM song.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

I didn't hate it but I've been disappointed with the radiohead stuff so far. I don't know much of their catalog so I've been excited to try them

The Stooges

1/5

this was just plain boring to me, I couldn't wait to be done with it.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

5/5

I think this is my favorite album we have done so far. Banger after banger

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

This was pretty decent, definitely better than I expected

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

1/5

I'll be honest, I listened to 2 songs. This genre is NOT for me

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

I enjoyed this, classic 70s stuff here

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

Not a ton to say about this one. I had never heard of them before. I like it, almost a 4, but I don't know that I'll seek them out

Caetano Veloso

2/5

Another genre just not for me, I did listen to the whole thing this time though

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

I don't usually love 80s metal, it's fine, but not my favorite. This was really good. I knew number of the beast well. Hallowed Be Thy Name sounds really familiar to me. I wonder if it was on rock band/guitar hero.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

Not much more needs to be said about this. I don't even typically like pop music, but this is another level.

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

1/5

I am pretty sure track 1 is the worst thing I have ever heard. The album has some moments that are okay but this was a tough listen. It reminds me of a french Rammstein but way way way worse.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

3/5

I didn't expect to like this at all. I was very pleasantly surprised. I don't know what it is, but I was into most of the songs

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

2/5

Dolly actually does my favorite country song (of which I don't like many) but I didn't like this album much at all. It felt whiney and awful. Granted, country has to be my least favorite genre so it's already fighting an uphill battle for me

Make Yourself

Incubus

5/5

such a great album, classic from my high school days. Awesome to revisit it. I never really did listen to the whole thing front to back but it's got a lot of hits on it.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

4/5

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I need to listen to more Lenny

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

somewhere between a 1-2. He's such a bad singer I have a real hard time listening to him. His songs make for great covers though so that's why I went 2.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

I've never been a huge beatles fan. I'm sure it was great when they were novel but at this point the music sounds derivative because music is derivative of them. Still a good album though. Lots of hits and I enjoyed listening to it

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

It's good, I won't really ever seek out this kind of music but it's impressive. I did give it a bonus star because I pictured snoopy the entire time
