All Ratings

The Clash

4/5

The lyrics are applicable to society today, with mentions of war and police, along with long-standing angst about the corporate rat race.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

1966, singing the truth, and foreshadowing other female voices to come, including Roberta Flack and Carly Simon.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

Solid, easy, upbeat listening, and I like Belinda.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Fun, 90s defining soulful pop that holds together as an album with a few great tunes.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Penetrates the roots of emotion, ethereal, rocking double album that holds together with strong lyrics, music, and stories.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

I enjoyed some of the intros and outros, but this album did not resonate with me.

OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

Just OK.

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Not much to this other than the history that was about to be made.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

I forgot I was listening to album.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

Great melodies under heavy guitar and reverb, an evocative, cool alt rock album.

Buena Vista Social Club

2/5

Interesting music and voices.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

This is a very good album through which R.E.M. manages to deliver its usually verve, punch, and melancholy — always sounding original, with sparse lyrics.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

1/5

God, I find this irritating and I am a Radiohead fan.

Parachutes

Coldplay

2/5

Definitely some good songs, but his voice wore on me over the course of the album.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Wow, a great listen all the way through, with the vocals, guitar, and theatrics one would expect, plus some surprises.

Hotel California

Eagles

5/5

A masterpiece that sets a high standard for the rest.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Bluesy, edgy rock for its time and all time.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

3/5

I mean, the crooning , Bond-like, delivery of manly sentiments was more than I expected this morning.

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

4/5

This really holds together as an album, each song delivered with conviction and emotion.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

He delivers melancholy in his own unique way, and it sounded better on a rainy morning.

Joan Baez

2/5

I am not a fan of the vibrato covers.

Metallica

3/5

Solid pop metal, part of my high school years, with a few solid hits.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

So many great musical and lyrical stories on this one, delivering the variation that makes a good album.

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Must be an acquired taste.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

I found myself wanting less talk-singing, fewer effects, and more music, melodies, and singing.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

2/5

In spite of his undeniable voice and soulfulness, this album did not move me.

Different Class

Pulp

3/5

Enjoyable, upbeat, seemingly personal, fun songs.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

2/5

An incredible story and a few good hits, but no much more.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

3/5

Heartfelt and interesting, raw.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

Great jazzy rock with classic tunes.

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

This stands the test of time and feels modern, then I realized based on its release that it influenced punk, alternative, and pop like the Strokes.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Trip through time as a barbershop quartet meets the Bo Diddley beat, creating a classic of youth longing in early rock.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

Despite not being able to understand the lyrics, her stories of love, loss, anticipation and optimism shown through in the music.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

Great cowboy tales of adventures, love, and loss that give you that nostalgic feeling.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

3/5

Great beats and interesting lyrics throughout, and very high energy, although I could have done without some of the outros.

Dire Straits

3/5

Steady guitar riffs lead the talk-singing raspy voice which delivers on this album.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

Not one of my favorite things, but that sax sure can still tell a story.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

An eclectic, sometimes dissonant avant-garde jazz-rock album, which was not what I expected, but delighted me nonetheless.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Many of the artists I like seem to appreciate Joni, but this album doesn’t do it for me.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Entertaining, creative, and music — and better to listen to now than when I was a kid.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

What a nice surprise.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

3/5

Really fun, pleasant, upbeat album.

The Rise & Fall

2/5

I occasionally found myself moving to the beat but not much else.
