All Ratings

Was first introduced to Louis Prima and Keely Smith with the Big Night soundtrack. That was way too late in life! Enjoyed them ever since. Listening feels like I might be on the back porch of a two-flat in Melrose Park circa 1955. Buona Cera!

Interesting. First time I've listened to an entire Eminem album. I have enjoyed a couple of his songs in the past including 8 Mile movie. However, this was a bit harsh.

What cave have I been living in the past 20 years? Never heard of this group. Enjoyed it! Oh Canada!

Ahhh! Gotta love the Eurythmics. Such great music and an unbelievable voice!

I had high expectations but was very disappointed.

Different. Enjoyed it!

Trouble finding this album on Spotify due to copyright but believe I listened to correct playlist. Interesting sounds but WAY TOO LONG! Can only listen to so much of this! Maybe the original album isn't that way?

Couldn't find this exact album on Spotify or other music site. Listened to a play list for same artist and name that maybe has these songs. Enjoyed some of it. But, seemed to lack a little snap.

Enjoyed it. Sort of Carole King ish.

Interesting. Generally enjoyed their sound and style

Reminds me of the American Graffiti soundtrack! Played that often!

Nice sound

Didn't think much of this jumble.

Classic early Jeff Beck. No big hits.

Despite some interesting sax, not my idea of good.

So good. Reminds me of St Charles.

Some interesting sounds. Maybe I'm feeling generous this morning?

Remember and like some of the songs. First time hearing the entire album. Generally enjoyed it!

Know some of the songs but not the entire album. Enjoyed it.

Great guitar from the smooth hand

Some of the best Hip Hop is Missy Elliott.

Not a big fan. Maybe this was even generous.

Had high expectations. Disappointing.

Couldn't find the love with this one.

Love classic George Jones. This doesn't have his greatest hits. But, still nice!

Read one of her autobiographies but never listened to this album specifically. Groundbreaking punkish.

Different bluesy sound than earlier Joni. Enjoyed it.

Has that early 70s Motown sound that I enjoy.

Not good.

I don't get Bjork.

Classic sound!

Went into this one with some negative bias. Just OK.

Only one top song. Memorable 70s sounds.

Always creative. No hits but still an interesting Bowie compilation.

Thought I would enjoy this more. But, alas no.

Maybe this is generous? Fell asleep listening!

Some enjoyable music but don't understand any of the words! That matters.

Not a fan.

Influential Blues!

Generally like the hip hop of 90s better than today's rap but this didn't move me very much.

Enjoyed it!

One of the best

This one has been getting even better since it came out senior year of high school.

Classic 60s vocals but no snap to their sound.

Pleasant surprise. Thought it would be a little heavy for my taste.

It started sort of strong and then faded. Overall, not much fun.

Always like his sound, Steely Dan or solo.

Surprisingly interesting and enjoyable

Love Sly's sound!

Did not enjoy.

Maybe one or two songs. But a whole album of this! No.

Didn’t know what to expect as I haven’t always been as bid a fan as others. But was an interesting mix.

I’m not anti Oasis. But I listened to the 3.5 hour remastered extended version of this album. And it was too much Oasis.

Like him better as part of group but you can hear where he has had influence.

Great 80s memories. Never listened to the album before. Not too long with some great songs.

So good. How fitting to get this one a day after Dad’s birthday. God Bless Frank!

Surprise! Never heard of this band and enjoyed their Ministry like sound.

Couple songs I’ve heard before overall enjoyed it!

This might be generous rating. Felt like she was singing covers to show tunes I’ve never heard of.
