Favorite track:Hungry Like the Wolf, favorite musician: Drummer. I felt at times they could have gone higher or lower to gain more depth. But lots of Duran Duran follows after this album, so who am I to critique an oldie but goodie.

If You're Feeling Sinister
Belle & Sebastian
This album was unknown to me,but I am a newbie to listening to an album from start to finish. I feel it like is was popular in it’s time, the late 90’s. The musicians were amazing. From guitar to trumpet to harmonica, and piano, I was impressed. I loved every tracts beat and calming effect. I was disappointed in most of the lyrics. My favorites were Don’t Look Back like Dylan in the Movies and Judy Dreams of Horses. On the whimsical side, I wonder how many of this bands’ members are parents of a Wiggles band member? It reminds me of an album to get the Wiggles out for adults. Calming and peaceful.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier
Adam & The Ants
Well that explains what started all the head bangin,body slamming dancing. Adam looks like a David Bowie wannabe but sounds like a Duran Duran groupie. Very wild beat but the words failed to move me. Even with an amazing high intensity beat. Kept losing interest a few minutes into each song. I can image Pee Wee Herman doing his high intensity workouts to this album. But am going to go with “heard it once and won’t repeat that mistake again”.I I will leave saying Adam’s most famous words “Don’t drink Don’Smoke” That is a fun dance song that the ants can go marching 1 by 1.

I was expecting an explosion of fun but didn’t even get a fizzle from this production. I have so many favorite Jagger songs and Rolling Stone Albums but this is one I will not recommend to others.

David Bowie
Loved it! David Bowie in the USA. From the play on words within the title I was ready to see through his eyes how America looked to a Ladd from across the pond. A beautiful cover, understandable lyrics and fun beat all worked together to make this is a great album. This is the first album I liked more that 50% of the songs. Favs were Jean Genie, Lady Grinning & AlladIn Sane. I truly enjoyed this album. He was before his time for extravagant display of art, persona and musical talent. “Ground control to Major Tom” is looking down on us all!

The Everly Brothers
This is a band who had so many great hits due to their lyrics; Wake up Little Susie, Cathys Clown, Dream Dream, Lucille, Till I Kissed her! So I am cutting them slack on this album of puffted put together songs. They were like The Beach Boys who too, were pushed into fast hits, fast profits $$£.
I think it’s important to look at the when and why these albums were produced. My desire is qualitative not quantitative. Great acoustic and good group performances. Listen to their greatest hits and you’ll see their true talent. And in my own words”I am awake-tee hee...Suzi”

Roxy Music
What a fun surprise this was! If Bowie & Elvis parented a child and named it Roxy this would be the genius result. The singer in Beauty Queen sounded like Elvis had entered the building. Super ziggy album cover. I feel like there were other songs they held hostage somewhere, to be released in the future, that represented the Killer Cat image. The strength of the panther totally subdued by the killer woman was so deep. Reversed power- very slick. I had several favorites: Beauty Queen, Gray Lagoon, Bogus Man, The Strand. Exceptional beat through out the album. Even if I stopped listening the the lyrics, I found myself tapping the beat. Definitely right up there with all that I enjoy of Bowie’s work. Well done Roxy.

Very eclectic horror. That sums it up for me. I gotta say I liked it in a strange way. Today this would have fit in with Interstellar movies. I did not like the length of the songs. I felt they were trying to burn them into my brain which was a creepy similarity to the album cover. X-ray photos of maybe Aisha’s shoes! I will keep this title in mind for Halloween or funerals. Felt a little like Def Lepered from the 70’s. Broken Sister &Aisha were my 2 favorite. And do not forget Aisha....he is a Murderer.

Move over Lady Gaga, Joni Mitchill has entered the room. Joni would be a tough competitor if she was spinning her vinyl magic today. Pianist, Acoustic Guitarist and Clavinet were just a part of her artistic talents. What a beautiful voice! I loved Help Me” and “Night in Paris”,and “Raised on Robbery”. I rank her in the top 15 most amazing women artists. This album is just a small glimpse of her talent. Have to listen to her sing “Big Yellow Taxi”, Woodstock and “Both Sides Now” She is by far one of the most talented women out there. Her songs are catchy songs or folk songs that weave a web of life and its journeys. You can “parking my lot” any time any day. Well done Jonie

Never knew this was more than a “one hit wonder” for Love Fool. But can say after listening to this album, which was their most sold,they should have stuck with the one hit. I watched 3 in video style and that helped,but feel the lead singer is too whispy of a vocal lead to push the great beat and words to the top. I did like New Cuckoo and Been It. The Iron Man remake was blasphemy of an amazing song that should never be tweaked. Cant image who permitted the desecration of such an Iron Clad song. So, nope Swedes, not impressed.

Every song I expected John Denver to belt out the next lyrics. But was not disappointed by the relaxing flow of vocals from Drake. I can’t list a tract I didn’t like. Especially since the album cover confused me completely. Acoustic guitar was so good. The lyrics very deep. When he sang Place To Be, I imaged the colors greener than a hill and palest blues . So wild how he brought those images to my mind. It was sad to read he was battling depression, because his talent was so maximal for a minimalist production. I respect a musician who does all his own writing ,playing and singing. Great album .

Fantastic music for a fall back to the 60’s. I never listened to them since I was a toddler and marijuana wasn’t legal. I image a psychedelic couch in a smoke filled room with pillows, plants and pot everywhere. They are the grooviest then and now. I’m sure my parents were terrified of them more then Elvis bringing rock and roll to the world. I could do meditation and yoga to this music all day long. Great drummer or should I say Symbolist! Great lyrics and a true opening up to the expanding minds of the 60’s revolutionary times. Don’t know if I would have like this music then but now see the beauty to it in all counts: lyrical, artistic, musical and dimensional. Girl we couldn’t get much higher. Come on baby light my fire. So cool man!

I just saw him and Carole King doing a live set to an intimate audience and his agent was there. James thanked him for all the years of commitment .

Why not name this Classic Covers? I get so confused by who is the writer or presenter. This album was a great way to open eyes 👀 to country singing. But not a big Willie fan Lots more “twanging” talent out there, then & now. Willie is definitely talented in replicating music but in the years after this he shows a lot more talent and teaches the world what Country music is. Did like the rendition of Unchained Melody!
