Stevie Wonder

5/5

I was lucky enough to see Stevie Wonder live at the time that these songs and those from Talking Book were most what got played. It was one of the best concerts I ever saw.

Some good musical ideas in here. But, I get bored quickly with bloviated, self- aggrandizing lyrics.

I had never heard of these guys before. This music made me move! I really liked this disc. I listened to the Expanded Version, which has many versions of several of their songs. It's a great showing of their creativity and command of different styles of music and recording.

Scott Walker

1/5

If you look at Scott’s lyrics out of context of the music, some of it actually okay poetry. But the aimless music makes it sounds like rambling drivel.

5/5

A classic for sure! So many great songs, here. I bought this one in high school. Alas, the stars never aligned so that I could see them live. I think I would have enjoyed that.

This had many interesting styles and constructs. I would have enjoyed discovering it earlier in life!

Never been a big metal fan, but this was a very nice trip down memory lane.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

I'm not big on country and western music. This was great work!

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

4/5

I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this, as I'm disinclined to like pop music that was done after about 1980. (It's not a fair prejudice). He puts out a lot of energy in this music.

Cosmo's Factory

Some music brings back strong memories. This was the soundtrack to a long weekend out of town. It was one of those experiences that makes me thankful that we didn't kill anyone from stupid teenage boy antics. This album was heard many times over many years.

I never cared a great deal for JLL's style, but always recognized that it was a significant contribution. It was a fun listen.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Well, it'll never be my favorite Stones album, but there are a few treasures on it.

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

5/5

That was fun!

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

One of may favorites from the 80s.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

4/5

I've often felt that Dylan was one of those artists that I did not pay enough attention to. This was a great piece of work that showed that not all highly successful artists just phone it in as they get older.

Roxy Music

3/5

The only Roxy Music that I was familiar with before this was their final one, Avalon. I've always really liked that one. This one is light years different. It's interesting, and I see how it is influential.
