Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

All Ratings

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

Super long, but such a vibe all the way through. It's two albums in one, and both are bangers.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Love his voice. This was my first time really diving into Leonard, after reading about him for years. Like a mix of Bob Dylan and Lou Reed.

War

3/5

Not bad, but Bono just doesn't really do it for me. I really like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" though.

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

I really like this. I've never been a huge Neil Young fan. Didn't hate him, but his voice never super appealed to me. This album is just a solid rocker, with grunge-y dark elements.

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Not my favorite MJ album, but still some heavy hitters to enjoy!

With The Beatles

Beatles

5/5

Just an absolute banger. One of the best early Beatles albums.

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

4/5

This was the first artist in this project that I had zero history with whatsoever, and I really enjoyed it. Cool to learn he performed with bands like the Clash, and is in the country music hall of fame.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Pretenders

5/5

This band is ... fun. The guitars are phenomenal. I had no idea they were a British group, and that Hynde lived in London. I had always associated The Pretenders with Northeast Ohio, but the origins of this and are pretty fascinating.

Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

3/5

Only the edited version was available on streaming, which was a big bummer. Not bad. I liked the guitars. But would not be my go-to style of hip hop.

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

4/5

Love love love her voice.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

Janis kinda sounds like Marge Simpson at points of "I Need a Man to Love." I really like the guitar on "Summertime" Honestly, I'm liking this album a lot more than I thought I would. I wasn't sure I liked Janis Joplin that much, but the band is great and her voice is definitely powerful.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

Man ... it's such a shame Kanye is the way he is. This is the only album of his I ever spent much time with (in college) and the production is just impeccable. Oh man, I forgot Nikki Minaj was on this one, too. Another hip-hop superstar who has fallen from grace. There's a Donald Trump reference on "So Appalled"! I'm so appalled, Spalding ball Balding, Donald Trump taking dollars from y'all

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Might be nostalgia, but I think this is my favorite Hendrix album. It's the first I owned (on vinyl) back in high school, and it brings back memories of spinning it in my small basement bedroom and expanding the universe.

Bert Jansch

3/5

This album wasn't exactly what I needed the day it was offered up. But as I listened into the second half, it grew on me. I love the guitar playing. Some of the instrumental tracks are stellar. A 3.5 album for me.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Noise jazz is just not my thing.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

What a voice. I got a kick out of "Let's Get It On" being followed up a few songs later by "Keep Gettin' It On." "You Sure Love To Ball" is a jam, too.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

I think I’m a Neil Young fan now?

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

Not bad. Definitely need to listen again, but on first listen I don't necessarily hear why it's a classic.

I See You

The xx

4/5

I like every album this band put out. Good vibes.
