Lynyrd Skynyrd

Some classic tracks on here such as Free Bird, but so is Tuesday's gone and my all time favourite track from this band, Simple Man. Never listed to one of their albums before.

Def Leppard

This is a classic 80s rock album. I heard this a lot growing up through older family members loving it. Objectively, probably not a 5 star album, but all tracks are really really good and some catchy radio friendly tunes in there for good measure.

Really enjoyed listening to this album, but not quite a 4 for me.
Beatles
3/5
A well put together album that sounds very much of it's time. Thankfully the Beatles progressed and drove music forward from the early pop/rock sound.
Garbage

I don't get the appeal of Joy Division. I know they were trend setters, but nothing much stands out at all.
Van Morrison
