The Dear Hunter - Sunya
80

I have a friend obsessed with this band and he essentially sold it as prog rock/alternate rock and while I can see the influences, this album is essentially jazz fusion and is reminiscent of bands like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and even Snarky Puppy at points. Really enjoyed this album even though it was a lot different to what I expected

The Beatles - The Beatles
70

Honestly has some of their best work, so much so that if they kept about 11 of these tracks it would be a 95 album. Unfortunately much of the rest is bad or generic (Wild Honey Pie is atrocious).

Better Beatles Tracklist:
1. Back in the U.S.S.R.
2. Dear Prudence
3. Glass Onion
4. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
5. Happiness is a Warm Gun
6. I'm So Tired
7. Blackbird (Best song)
8. Helter Skelter
9. Revolution 9
10. Revolution 1
11. Good Night

The Kinks - The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society
55

The 70's couldn't come quicker, I'm sick of psychedelic music at the moment and none of it is especially imaginitive

Nico - The Marble Index
70

It's innovative and interesting to listen to but I struggle to connect to it. Comparisons can easily be made to Bjork but there's something that this album is missing compared to Bjorks music.

Bill Evans - Everybody Digs Bill Evans
70

Not as good as Undercurrent but still pretty fun to listen to

James Blake - Trying Times
50

Just imagine I wrote something interesting and insightful for this review and you laughed

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
55

Not a van (fan) of this ... get it

Columbia Symphony Orchestra / New York Philharmonic / Leonard Bernstein - Rhapsody in Blue; An American in Paris
95

Couldn't find just rhapsody in blue so rated this instead (after listening to an american in paris). Rhapsody alone would be 100.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland
75

There's some amazing tracks here. Didn't blow me away as an album (why it can't really be higher than a 75) but definitely some incredible guitar work and songwriting

The Doors - Waiting for the Sun
20

3 albums of the doors and I think I've listened to them enough to convincingly say that they're the most overrated band in history. Their music is boring and feels like it has no influence on anything afterwards, nothing stands out compared to the other classic bands of the time. Even if I don't like a popular band I can usually still see why they're popular whereas this I just can't see why they're considered classics.

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets
75

The title track is definitely one of the best songs of the 60's so far

Miles Davis - Walkin'
60

Solar was good, the rest is just background music.

Simon & Garfunkel - Bookends
35

So far most of the must hear classics from the 60s are just really boring and don't hold up well in the modern era of music as nothing interesting happens. Hazy Shade of Winter is really the only song worth listening to.

The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
35

There is absolutely no reason for a song to be 18 minutes long

Dorothy Ashby - Afro-Harping
55

Enjoyed the first 2 but the rest were pretty bland

Bill Evans & Jim Hall - Undercurrent
100

The most at peace I've ever been in my life

Harry Styles - Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.
95

I don't even know what to say, I wasn't expecting to like this album. It just has a really nice vibe

Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
50

1 more allbum till I never have to listen to Bob Dylan again. After this album, it has become clear that compared to all the other music of this year, this remains bland and uninspired, released years later than it should have as it has quickly outdated itself even within the year of release.

Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
65

Fables of Faubus being one of the lowest on this album when not only is it significantly more interesting than everything else, it's one of the best jazz pieces of this era

Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen
70

Listening to albums in release order makes you really see the slow progression and movements of music that start to happen and with the knowledge of where music goes in the future you can start seeing that this is the early development of that music
