Lord. This is still not my kind of music. 2
Nick Drake · 1 likes
5/5
What a relief from the misery that was yesterday's Metallica. 5 stars. And lead me down the wiki-hole of Nick Drake's life. I have to admit, I often confuse Nick Drake, Gram Parsons, Nick Cave and Nick Lowe. I have to consciously think through which is which whenever one of them come up. Every one of them has 5 star albums.

The Who
4/5
It’s not Tommy. But it still slaps
Radiohead
4/5
An album I didn’t hear a lot when it was new, but it pervaded the culture. It’s a testament to their taste and style that 20 years later it still sounds completely modern. A truly great track 1 too
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Ella Fitzgerald
3/5
Not my cup of tea, but amazing in its own right.
Van Morrison
4/5
As I’ve gotten older the most loved albums of people 10-20 years older than me have all sounded better and better.
The Rolling Stones
4/5
IN the running for best side one, track one. Also, under my thumb is one of my favorite Stones tracks
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
I wish I didn’t dig these old classic rock albums as much as I do. I blame my upbringing.
4 stars
Motörhead
4/5
Ace of Spades deserves its spot near the top of any list. The rest of the album is mostly new to me.
Arcade Fire
3/5
This was fine, but I don't get it. Nothing made me want to relisten 3/5
Beatles
5/5
Rubber Soul + Revolver is likely one of my oldest digital playlists. Way pre-dating actual Beatles available on streaming. 5/5
Erykah Badu
5/5
I love Erykah
Malcolm McLaren
3/5
My favorite part of this album was the wikipedia article. And it's always nice to learn some origins of stuff that is just ubiquitous later. 3/5
Johnny Cash
5/5
Can you imagine this getting made today? IN a prison!? Such great story telling and just great short, snappy songs. 5/5
Leonard Cohen
4/5
Beautiful, haunting
The Byrds
3/5
I don't think I'd ever listened to this entire album. Growing up with an old hippie record collector, that's rare to find for something from 1966. I had no idea this was pre-Gram Parsons either. Wikipedia got a workout for this album. I can appreciate the songwriting, but it's a bit too slow and plodding and 'samey' for me.
3/5
The Band
5/5
I keep a playlist of covers of The Weight. I think it is one of the best songs in history. 5 stars.
Miles Davis
4/5
I enjoyed this a lot. 4/5
Air
4/5
1 minute in and this is a vibe I can get used to. Big thumbs up. Reminded me of Portishead *a lot*
Neneh Cherry
3/5
This was hugely popular during my last high school years. Other than what made it to mtv I am completely unfamiliar. 3/5
The Band
4/5
Had The Big Pink just a couple of days ago. Well I don’t like this one as much. Purely because it lacks The Weight 4
Leftfield
4/5
Enjoying this a lot. The Wikipedia articles may be my favorite feature of this site. They inevitably make me appreciate an album even more. 4
Skunk Anansie
2/5
Not my thing. The wikipedia article didn't give me anything to glom on to to find something to listen for and/or enjoy on a different level. 2
Nirvana
5/5
I was 18 years old. And a college freshman. I mean I may know this album a wee bit. 5
Derek & The Dominos
3/5
I'm sure I listened to this long ago. Was pretty unclear on the history, so my favorite thing is again the Wikipedia link. This deserves a 4, but it is Clapton, so I'm giving it a 3.
FKA twigs
4/5
I liked this. Took 2-3 tracks to find my ear and then as it ended I just played it again. 4
Happy Mondays
2/5
Felt very very 90s. I’d never heard it. Listened once and have no desire to hear it again. 2
The Clash
5/5
5. 5. 5.
Dr. John
5/5
My only complaint about this album is that it’s way too short.
Arctic Monkeys
3/5
Well after my regular music listening. Didn’t hate it. But it sounds very generic “rock”
3ish
The Undertones
4/5
I enjoyed this a lot. Had not heard it.
Portishead
5/5
Stumbled on this the long way around. It quickly went to the top of my modern music ists.
The Dictators
3/5
Proto-punk. I didn’t hate it, but I should give it a listen when I’m in more of a mood for punk. 3
Amy Winehouse
5/5
A singular talent. Man, what a loss. 5. Super catchy songs from top to bottom. Soulful, well produced.
Radiohead
4/5
I’ve never given Radiohead a fair shot. It’s always been fine, but I never make time to let it really draw me in. Still, this album ain’t my favorite of theirs in even my limited experience. Wikipedia tells me this is the one they released on the web, when the industry was floundering. That gets it an extra point from me. Just because it was an important moment.
Paul Simon
4/5
I liked it. But it felt like elevator music. That's probably a comment on the success and likability of Paul Simon's music. But I'll never forgive him for taking Edie Brickell away from me. 4
DJ Shadow
4/5
Really liked this. Makes me want to research how people compare him to Dilla
The Cardigans
3/5
My thoughts can be summed up with 2 words, *very* 90s. I only knew the LoveFool song before hand (Romeo + Juliet soundtrack got a lot of repeat listens from me) 3
Deep Purple
4/5
Another new to me album. And serendipitous, I noticed a Deep Purple t-shirt in a tv show (from the 80s) the other day, and commented on it. I really only knew Smoke on the Water. Live show CDs are fun. I give this a 4 for 'fun' but a 3 for music itself.
Iggy Pop
4/5
Very Bowie. For obvious reasons. I dug this album, I was surprised to hear China Girl. 4
Madonna
3/5
Not for me, but it's clearly well produced and designed to get you moving. 3
The wikipedia article for this album is *sprawling*. This lady has some fans.
Fela Kuti
4/5
Loved this album. The songs are a bit long, but it feels like a jam band concert, without having to deal with all the people. 4
Billy Bragg
3/5
I really enjoy Wilco. And the track California Stars has always been really enjoyable, but maybe I'm just having a bad day. A little too 'country', the lyrics failed to snag my attention. 3
Basement Jaxx
3/5
It's dance music. I guess it's good for what it is?
3
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
3?
One or two fo the songs really grabbed my attention, but the rest I just wanted to end.
Jerry Lee Lewis
3/5
If you can seperate art from artist, 5. If you can't, 2, at best. But the art is -amazing-
Rahul Dev Burman
3/5
This was not what I expected to find this morning. I really like Indian music.
The English lyrics were unexpected. 3/4
2/5
I kinda want to make this my first 1, but I'm sure it has redeeming qualities. My hopes were kind of dashed when I saw "noise rock" 2
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
5/5
songs from this album featured heavily in mixtapes from my early dating life. I cannot fairly evaluate it on its own merits. 5 stars.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
I wish I liked listening to Neil young more. I like his songwriting.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
Dug it. Nothing stuck out. Nothing made me wanna fast forward. 3
Steely Dan
4/5
One of the innumerable albums I can tell is amazing, but I still wanna skip through the songs I've heard 10,000 times. 4
The Cure
4/5
My wife is a huge fan of The Cure. I've always liked them fine, but don't think I'd ever heard this. It sounds like The Cure to me. No qualms. 3-4
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
4/5
I liked this a lot more than the Neil Young album from 3 days ago. 4
The durdling jam band esque songs grew on me through a 2nd listen.
The Notorious B.I.G.
3/5
3 There are some songs I really love the flow of, but I can't forgive the mid 90s
Elvis Costello
5/5
Mixtape memories. 5
M.I.A.
4/5
If I was a bit younger this would have been on repeat a lot. I had no idea she was one of the first MySpace music stars. Another wiki article that takes an album up a point. 4, but damn near a 5.
The Style Council
2/5
2. Meh. Seems like elevator music. (Which I am fine with sometimes. Today was just not the day for this pablum)
The Velvet Underground
3/5
Oh look. It’s my favorite band’s favorite band. 3
The Damned
3/5
Bad timing. I’d have likely enjoyed this more if it had come up at another time.
Metallica
2/5
I vowed to never get an album someone else loved a 1. This is testing me. I did listen, hoping to find something I cared about. But nope I loathe this band and their music. 2, but really 1
Nick Drake
5/5
What a relief from the misery that was yesterday's Metallica. 5 stars. And lead me down the wiki-hole of Nick Drake's life. I have to admit, I often confuse Nick Drake, Gram Parsons, Nick Cave and Nick Lowe. I have to consciously think through which is which whenever one of them come up. Every one of them has 5 star albums.
Buffalo Springfield
3/5
Pleasant, but very 'samey'
I think I've heard quite enough CSNY and their 'tree' of bands to last a lifetime.
3-4
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
I did not enjoy this as much as the previous Costello
Fugazi
4/5
I had only ever listened to 13 songs. This is a bit rough for the early morning when I normally listen to my albums of the day. But a solid 4 stars for the lunch break listening period.
Nick Drake
5/5
This album has been my melancholy rainy mood album for decades. Every time I hear a simple guitar based singer/songwriter album this is what I compare it to in my head. The fivest of five stars.
Pixies
4/5
I legit didn’t know this one. And my wife is a huge pixies fan.
Dwight Yoakam
2/5
Not my thing. The twang was too much to give it a fair shot.
Blur
3/5
I don’t have a score yet, but I hope these guys are all rich from licensing Song 2 to every-damned-thing for 25+ years now.
Dr. Dre
4/5
The beats are so damn smooth. The language is off putting. What it did to music for several years was too. 3 but it should be more.
The Beach Boys
3/5
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Brian Wilson makes good music.
Femi Kuti
3/5
I believe I can just flat out state I'm a fan of Afro-Pop. I do wish the songs were about half the length they are, though. That says more about me than the music though. At least what gets to American shores. Given that Femi is the child of Fela Kuti, that leads me to believe that Lagos's music scene is wild.
Miles Davis
4/5
When I was a younger, more abrasive, man I often said Jazz was mostly musicians showing off to each other. This is the coolest, most charismatic guy reminding all the showboats that he’s better than they are. And does it with style. I don’t know enough music theory to talk about the music beyond “vibes” but this album definitely makes me feel in a way most jazz does not. 4
Wire

Depeche Mode

4/5
I can't believe they used that Hot Topic t-shirt graphic on their album cover!
R.E.M.
5/5
This is one of those mixtape all-stars from my young adulthood. Instant 5 stars, because at least 5 tracks on it appeared on mixtapes I received or shared with people who were important to me.
Slipknot
2/5
Uhhh. No thank you
New Order
3/5
If I were 5 years older I have no doubt I’d be a huge new order fan. This was nice. 3, but is very likely a 4
Frank Sinatra
4/5
Swing away, baby.
4
Stan Getz
4/5
This went down smooth.
Tim Buckley
3/5
Takes some guts in 1972 to make the first track of an album the worst track. This is also the year I was born, maybe that's why the scattergories of this album didn't bug me at all. 3
Ali Farka Touré
3/5
His son’s album with Khraungbin prepared me for this. I flat out dig “world music” 3-4
Bill Evans Trio

Welcome after 2 dud albums in a row.
Buck Owens
3/5
I'm really surprised this is as late as '65. Enjoyable, but definitely only because of growing up with my step-father.
Pearl Jam
5/5
Man, I listened to this a lot. It might be 'basic', but it's definitely 5/5 for that time of my life.
Nirvana
5/5
Paul McCartney
4/5
I wanted to come into this with my normal baseline 'meh' toward McCartney's solo work. But half the tracks on this really really worked for me. I appreciate the pure "acousticness" of it.
Nina Simone
5/5
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
Really tested my “won’t give anything a 1 star rating” resolve.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
The Smiths
4/5
4 for the album. 1 for the lead singer.
John Martyn
4/5
A completely new album to me. I loved it.
Cream
4/5
A few songs on here I didn’t realize were Cream. Quite an album.
The Chemical Brothers
5/5
I listened to this a lot in the.mid 90s. Don’t feel like it’s aged well but it definitely took me back.
Living Colour
4/5
Saw these guys open for The Rolling Stones in 1989. I was working as a stadium vendor, and people assumed I had beer in my cooler, despite me being 17 and looking 12 years old. I made like $15, but got to watch most of their opening, and ALL of the stones. 4 stars.
Lenny Kravitz
3/5
The filler songs were really forgettable. A few great tracks though. 3.
Yes

5/5
I can’t help it. I love this. Even as overplayed and over exposed as it is.. I mean I still listen to the Beatles too. 5
Anita Baker
4/5
A surprise 4+ for me.
I remember the 80s pablum of pop R&B with mostly eyerolls. But as I’ve gotten older, I respect the craft of creating pleasant music highlighting a beautiful voice as an instrument a lot.
Kate Bush
4/5
What a glorious weirdo. 4
The Good, The Bad & The Queen
4/5
Aerosmith
3/5
Meh. Soooo overplayed in my last year of HS. At least the videos were fun to look at.
John Grant
3/5
This was a pleasant new album. A bit over the top lyrically in a few spots, but that's hardly a complaint. 3
Jorge Ben Jor

4/5
As a 21 year old white midwestern dude who spent a TON of his disposal income on CDs, I had opinions on music. I remember when I heard Method Man (the track), I realized it was 'different' from most of what we were hearing, and whoa, the words were fast. 4

Michael Jackson
5/5
This album was given to my step-sister on christmas day 1981. I got a copy of the Rolling Stones "Start Me Up" on 45. Proving that my dad and step-mom loved my sister more, or they got a deal on a 2 year old album. We were 9 years old.
We played both on our new portable record player a LOT.
King Crimson
4/5
This was a huge tonal shift from the previous album. I'm edging up a point, because I can tell if I listened through a few more times, in a few more moods, it would speak to me in totally different ways.
