Definitely Maybe

Oasis

4/5

Better than I expected. Not a huge oasis fan, but I had never listened to an entire album of theirs before. Listening to Shakermaker felt like unlocking a core memory. It must have played on the radio when I was growing up as it conjured up memories of long road trips with the family. The album helps explain the hype of Oasis to me, as I think having only heard the hits I didn't really get it. Favorite Track: Shakermaker

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

2/5

This is my first time listening to S&G intentionally. I've avoided them for many years due to the only song of there's that anyone ever plays being sad and over played. The album as a whole is interesting. I wasn't prepared for the range of sounds. Since all I knew was 'Sounds of Silence', it felt like a nice reprieve to hear something else from them. Favorite Track: Keep the Customer Satisfied

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

It's been a minute since I listened to the album front to back, but it still slaps. Alanis really front loaded the bangers, but it's still a great listen. Favorite Track: All I Really Want

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

I don't really have a lot of say on this one. It's a good album, but I'm not sure if it hits for me. It may need another listen down the road for it to truly sink in. Favorite Track: The Chain

1999

Prince

3/5

It's not as good as batman, but what is? Favorite Track: D.M.S.R.

Odessa

Bee Gees

1/5

Bad. Somehow worse than their disco, which I didn't think was possible.

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

1/5

Even though I listened to the entire album, it felt like I didn't. Nothing stuck out to me that wasn't already done by every other 80's artist.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

He looks like one of the bad guys from The Goonies. Listening to this is like an exercise in trying to stay awake while being read the most intensely boring bedtime story you've ever had to endure.

Play

Moby

4/5

You know, this album surprisingly holds up. I remember owning it as a kid, and I was thinking it wasn't going to be the same, but turns out making techno songs using blues samples does work. Favorite Track: Honey

Electric

The Cult

3/5

Danzig vocals over AC/DC beats?

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Favorite Track: Highway 61 This song sounds like it could easily be a They Might Be Giants song.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

There is some funky bass on this album. Why isn't all their stuff like this? Favorite Track: The Ledge

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

A classic, not much to say about it though. Favorite Track: Passin' Me By

Gorillaz

2/5

Eh, overrated. I think at the time when this came out it was novel, but now listening to Damon Albarn is tough as he just sounds so melancholy and boring. Favorite Track: 19-2000

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

Good stuff, tribal metal sound Not sure if I had a favorite track but the whole album was consistent and awesome.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

2/5

Back to the 70s mines.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

I thought these guys only had one song, and that it was 'My Girl'. To hear otherwise is, to put it bluntly, earth-shattering. Favorite Track: Cloud Nine

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this since his Sister-Wife wasn't on the album, afaik. But it does feel like the logical extension of the white stripes. Favorite Track: Freedom At 21

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Good, maybe even 5 stars, but I need to listen to it more to confirm.

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

3/5

Confusing looking at this album on Apple Music as it shows that the artist is a classical artist, but then you play the album and it's Mambo.

Suede

2/5

Meh

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Perfect album

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

1/5

The theme from the exorcist was bad enough, but to find out there is an entire album.. rough

Live Through This

Hole

1/5

Hole sucks

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

1/5

Mad boring prog rock nonsense

...And Justice For All

Metallica

2/5

Some underground shit, if you consider yourself a metal head and you haven't listened to this then you are a poser. Go back to wearing your attitude era wresting shirts. Loser.

Closer

Joy Division

2/5

First song was pretty good, then it goes down hill from there. I don't really see all the hype.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

1/5

Remember when the Brady Bunch went to Hawaii and Bobby found an evil idol? What a crazy thing to happen. Greg crashes surfing, Bobby almost killed by a painting, and Peter is nearly bitten by a spider. Then Bobby gets rid of the thing only for Jan to bring it back. Then the crazed archaeologist tries to kill them. After that they have a big party, but like the crazy part was that the trip was all expenses paid, and they even brought their maid. That had to cost a small fortune.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

2/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

1/5

Yeah, I was in middle school too, like any one else. But with 20 years to reflect I can confidently say this album sucks shit. The whole reason I listened to Nirvana was for the hard rock noise that would soon become the staple of classic rock stations. Not for folky cover songs.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

3/5

What if Bob Dylan spoke like a normal person?

Le Tigre

4/5

Some of the very best that Riot Grrrl has to offer.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Mid

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

Odelay

Beck

2/5

Apple music has a note about the album that says a producer said not to release the album, and you know what? That producer was right, and the fact that Beck has a career at all is shocking. Doesn't even have loser on the album so what is the point?

Music From Big Pink

The Band

1/5

More boring dad rock

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

Like a Prayer still slaps, great song.

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

2/5

What if Bob Dylan and Lenord whoever, but girl?
