Alice Cooper
3/5
Kind of like a very competent Halloween gag. Also, weirdly, I don't think I knew what Alice Cooper sounded like until this.

Justin Timberlake

Not bad for the guy who threw Janet Jackson under the sexy bus. 4 stars.

John Lee Hooker
5/5
The master with a cavalcade of extra guests, great stuff.
Radiohead
4/5
I am generally not a Radiohead fan, but this album is quite good.
Living Colour
5/5
Amazing. From start to finish, this album is funky, rockin' and gets you moving.
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Been ages since I listened to this, but it still holds up. Very 80s, and yet still classic Springsteen.
Motörhead
5/5
Saw them live once, they were great. RIP Lemmy. Fantastic album.
Donald Fagen
4/5
Couple of tracks were definitely familiar, I had not heard the rest and dang if it isn't a fine album. Steely Dan-ish, of course.
Boards of Canada
3/5
Well done, not really my cuppa but interesting.
Björk
4/5
Very impressive, more danceable than I was expecting, bouncy good fun.
Small Faces
3/5
First side: well, that's pretty interesting and proggy. Second side: What the ... ?
Billy Bragg
5/5
Like both artists, makes sense they would sound good together. This album is lovely, bouncy and clever.
The White Stripes
4/5
Footy! Really great album all around.
R.E.M.
5/5
Radio Free Europe remains one of my absolute fave R.E.M. songs, and the rest of the album is equally fantastic.
Jungle Brothers
5/5
Really fantastic, these guys are great, clearly they paved the way for a lot of groups who came after. I hear them in De La Soul and even a little in Digital Underground.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
Meh. OK, but I like their earlier albums better.
Joan Baez
5/5
Lovely and haunting, spare and magnificent.
Adam & The Ants

4/5

Joni Mitchell
4/5
Lovely way to start the morning.

4/5
Classic sound of SF, couple of massive hits supported by a bunch of fantastic songs.
4/5
Classic album from a country legend.
Fleet Foxes
2/5
Remind me oddly a little of Fairport Convention. But if they got Jack White to play along.
Daft Punk
2/5
Meh. Like hot food that's hot for the sake of being hot, not the flavor, this album is a lot of sound looking for a more groovy plan.
The Soft Boys
4/5
Fantastic album, psychedelic new wave, was not familiar with this band at all.
Jeff Beck
5/5
Epic.
Michael Jackson
3/5
Very polished, bouncy album.
Gotan Project
4/5
Fantastic, groovy, a little clangy at times, reminds me of the "Frantic" soundtrack, a bit of north African trance with the tango.

3/5
Super-trippy, like late-stage Beatles but also some very Beach Boys-ish stuff.
Pet Shop Boys
4/5
Lush, disco relaxation music
Serge Gainsbourg
2/5
1970s French pop is a thing, that's for sure.
