Paul Simon

3/5

I could swear I'd listened to this before, but the only songs I recognized were Mother and Child Reunion and Me and Julio. A good album, but far from Paul Simon's best solo work. 3/5

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

I really just do not see the appeal of this band. Some serviceable if down-the-middle rock songs, but I really don't hear anything groundbreaking here. Also Liam Gallagher has a whiny voice. 2/5

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

Not super familiar with her catalog beyond the big hits, but this is a fun listen. I can definitely see why this was impactful at the time. 4/5

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Not Jimi's best album, but still outstanding all around. 4/5.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

5/5

I absolutely adore Steely Dan, and this is a top three album for me. Not a bad track on the whole thing. 5/5.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Familiar with the man, but not so much the music. The juxtaposition of this compared to contemporary recordings like Kind of Blue or Mingus Ah Um is really interesting, incredibly different but with streams of common ground. Overall very enjoyable. 4/5

Fred Neil

2/5

Fine I guess? Everybody's Talkin' is of course an all time classic, and a few other songs were decent, but I didn't really hear anything remarkable imo. 2/5.

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

I think I've listened to this before? Very funky, fun album. 4/5.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

Overall really good, I was only familiar with the radio tracks previously. The whole thing sounded like high school. Didn't like the interludes, I don't know why those were so prevalent for a while there. 4/5.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

4/5

I'm honestly not sure what I was expecting, but it definitely was not this. I guess Dear Mr. Fantasy is the only Traffic song I was really familiar with. This is great though, very much digging it. 4/5

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

some very nice songs on this, most of which I've not heard before. 3/5.

Arular

M.I.A.

4/5

not at all what I was expecting, and honestly this was quite good. 4/5.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

one of my favorite albums of all time. does this thing go higher than 5?

American Pie

Don McLean

2/5

the only songs I was familiar with were the title track and Vincent, and now that I've listened to the whole album I can see why. not bad necessarily, just blah. 2/5

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

I haven't listened to this in well over 20 years, but I still knew the words to every song. Simon and Garfunkel were huge parts of growing up for me. 5/5

Black Sabbath

4/5

I've never listened to really early Black Sabbath before, this is great. 4/5

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

bit of a slow burn, but I was really enjoying it a lot by the end. 4/5

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

wow, what a voice 4/5.
