All Ratings (1001)

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.

Enjoyed the bluesy 70s feel to the music. Prompted me to learn more about this artist online. Another who died too young. And, same for his son!

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!
