At Fillmore East
The Allman Brothers Band
Now, this is an interesting mix of musical genres that I've never had the opportunity to hear before... Rock + Blues + Country + so much more. I enjoyed the whimsy of it all, swinging between the different styles, and weaving them into a single fabric, making you feel like you're listening not to one band, but to a strange one-time fusion event.. which I suspect it was? I may be wrong, and I will be happy if it wasn't... it means more music like this I can look forward to in the future!
It's always a pleasure discovering new flavour combinations in food, and style combinations in music, and this was no exception. This was totally my jam, and probably my new favourite flavour of it (pun intended).

I know Led Zeppelin is supposed to be one of the iconic rock bands of their time, but they're not exactly my cup of tea. Sorry Zeppelin fans.

All Directions
The Temptations
This album is a mixed bag of tracks, and I couldn't get a feel for an overall theme or style. Is that why its called "All Directions", I wonder?

"I want to go down in musical history", they say on this album. I'm no historian, so I can't comment on how that went, but the tunes were groovy enough to justify that ambition. I feel that if I listen to it a few times, this album will grow on me. It has the makings of something that is entertaining and soothing at the same time. Something that I could chill out on a Friday evening listening to while basking in the satisfaction of a week well spent.

Metallica
A strong start with my favourite track from the soundtrack for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, though I don't see what that has to do with Metallica. As for the rest of the album, symphonic metal never fails to impress me. This is more on the metal side in the mix, I would have preferred the orchestra to have been a bit more forward.
Also, no offense to the singer, but I would have enjoyed this album more if there were no vocals.

I was hitting next in the middle of each track and half the time I wasn't sure if I really was on the next track.

One or two songs from this band sound good. More than that is a little difficult to handle.
