Great jazz album, really upbeat and catchy.

The Boatman's Call

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

2/5

Probably great live, a little uninspiring recorded. Good background music.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

4/5

This feels like a quest soundtrack + 80s (although released in 1973). Feels like there's 10 different movie soundtracks in here... Part II is a wild ride

Rage Against The Machine

I know this is a legendary protest album, but I don't love the sound - a bit yell-y

Machine Head

Deep Purple

That's definitely rock (hair rock?) A+ guitar

Everything about this album is a lot.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

3/5

Has the 'mashed potatoes' song from Dirty Dancing - is it a cover?

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

1/5

Very rough, grumbly vocals - is it singing or spoken...who knows? My vocal cords hurt listening to this. Not sure if this is on purpose, but this music makes me viscerally uncomfortable. I want it to end. Some later songs are less discordant. Couldn't finish it.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

5/5

Really groovy, cool backing beats and vocals. Fave songs - Penitentiary Philosphy

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

Buck Owens

3/5

Very "of the era". A bit like Marty Robbins, but less catchy.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Great guitar! Some classic songs like Iron Man and Paranoid. The vocals match the vibe, normally would find this kind of singing a bit grating to the ears, but it really works.
