Elvis Presley

4/5

An amazing intro to young Elvis. Whether it was cultural appropriation or bringing a new type of music to an audience who wasn't as openminded as we are today, it's still a fun listen.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

So futuristic and influential. Creative and fun funk music.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Lots of classic songs. Mix of soul and western. Vocals are cool, have swagger and super distinct. Not a lot of diversity.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

1/5

Other than The Look of Love, this felt almost unlistenable.

S&M

Metallica

4/5

Metallica playing with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra really accentuated the theatricality of their songs. I don't think I'd listen to it every day, but it's a good intro to Metallica.

I never listened to it before, but the mix of vocal and instrumentals is great. Nice introduction for me, but a favourite for her.

1999

Prince

Maybe the best three-song start to any album ever? Don't think I ever appreciated how prolific and talented Prince was when he was alive.
