Bit hit or miss. "Mother" is really strange. Sound of album is a bit dated

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

4/5

Not bad. Solid.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Deep Purple seems to be right at the cusp between rock and roll of the sixties with organs and flutes? to the start of hard rock of the seventies. They're a gap in my classic rock knowledge. I like this album. I think it will grow on me with familiarity. Different songs seem to emphasize the skill set of the musicians. Vocals, drums, guitar.

2/5

Typical Pink Floyd.

2/5

What is this, Techno? Too quick paced to enjoy.

Nope.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

There's a reason he won a nobel prize for literature. Every song is great.

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

This album has universal appeal. Most people have heard at least one of the tracks. Great entry album for new Prince fans. Low 5, for rollercoaster of themes best listened to alone.

Dare!

The Human League

3/5

Not bad, just dated. High on the synthesizer. Very new wave.

Adele

2/5

Music isn't bad. She has a nice voice. But the lyrics seem childish. They don't resonate with me.

Cut

The Slits

1/5

This isn't music. this is a toddler banging on pots and pans.

OK Computer

Radiohead

1/5

I don't get it. The vocals are moany, and hard to understand. Didn't like Radiohead then, still don't like them now.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

Sounds similar to other groups of the time. Time of the Season is the only song I think I've heard before. It's not bad, but just bland.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

3/5

Nothing remarkable. Nothing bad.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Funny and enjoyable. Clever lyrics. Generally upbeat.

Suicide

2/5

Tommy

The Who

2/5

The Modern Lovers

4/5

Voice doesn't quite match the music. Lyrics are on the young side. Pleasantly surprising.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Many songs ring a bell. Not bad. Has the vibe of it's time.

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

I'm Your Man

The Kinks

3/5

Some goofy lyrics. Music is basic, but fun.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

Many familiar songs. Nice to hear them all together. Casual music fans are bound to recognize at least some of the songs.

I Against I

3/5

Not bad. Fairly simple production. This album/group are completely unfamiliar to me. Would listen again.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Well known songs. Good starter album for someone to get into them

The Byrds

3/5

Not bad. Sort of quiet as expected for the time. Well put together
