It was all downhill from here 4.1/5

Gorillaz

4/5

Paul Simon

4/5

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

first listen. never been a big JA fan, but respect their place in rock history. this is fine.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

2/5

the album cover and title track are stone cold classics. the rest - meh.

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

i love the cure. this is not one of my favorites of theirs.

War

5/5

stone cold classic

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

2/5

listened to this years ago and it didn't stick. it's fine, nothing terrible here. maybe i'll try again next decade

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

It's Fela. It's a Five.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

2/5

not my thing but i respect where this was coming from in 1976 and it's importance in electronic music history

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

2/5

while i probably enjoy this a little more than when i first (and last) heard it back in '96, it's still not an album that anyone MUST hear before they die

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

2/5

first time intentionally sitting down to listen to Earth, Wind & Fire. 70's soul/lite funk. there are much better representatives of this out there IMO, but respect.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

1/5

nah

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

at times it leans closer to metal than grunge for my usual tastes, but there is no denying layne's greatness.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

enjoyed this more than the last time i listened to this album 6 or 7 years ago. some greats songs, some not so great songs.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

i've never been a huge fan of janis but there is no denying the raw fuzz and rock on this 1968 release. and that crumb artwork! respect.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

1/5

nope. one of my most beloved bands turned to shite. will not listen.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

chill. this is the good stuff.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

i LOVED the doors in high school. some memories are best left in the past. edit post listen: this is less cringe than i had expected. maybe that's just nostalgia.

All Directions

The Temptations

2/5

not overly familiar with the temptations outside of the singles. this was fine. kinda drags on the second half for me.

Vulnicura

Björk

2/5

pretty indifferent to bjork, but this was better than anticipated. still probably wouldn't reach for it again at any time.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

3/5

been a minute since i last heard this one. it's fine. prefer my nico with the velvet underground vs solo.

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

hell yeah a lost gem (to me) that i hadn't heard since my friend back in high school would play this tape constantly in his nissan sentra. memories....

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

perfection

Fragile

Yes

4/5

god i hate prog. at least i thought i did. this album kinda kicks ass.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

i'd like to go to cuba some day

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

sometimes i wish they didn't grow up so quickly

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

2/5

happy to have listened - it's a great example of why i'm doing this project. but unlikely to revisit.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

1/5

never heard this before. interesting how it sounds so far ahead of it's time. not for me though.

Metallica

3/5

i'm big enough to separate the negative associations i have with this album and the people who love it and admit that for the genre - which i generally despise - this is a "great" album.

Dare!

The Human League

2/5

i was excited for this one. but nothing really grabbed me here as i'd hoped.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

2/5

another one i was excited about. great spacy, trippy grooves -- but overall didn't dig the spoken word intermissions and it ultimately just went on way too long.
