Popular Reviews

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Just straight beautiful, catchy, well written songs

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan

tangled up in blue is a classic, rest is pretty much nondescript except vocals that rise up into a weird falsetto. Great song writing but otherwise not sure why Bob Dylan is so popular.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand

really solid indie rock that I never thought to listen to before outside take me out

Bummed by Happy Mondays

weird sound but a few good songs
