I'm just not a fan of Bruce Springsteen.

It does an incredible job of making you feel like your actually at the club. Usually, when I hear live albums, its more contemporary rock bands playing in stadiums. While the experience is different, it never really makes you feel like you're there like this album does.

Something certainly more my speed. It's more melodic than most of the early punk I've listened too. This is also my first time listening to The Stooges that I'm aware of. You can hear a bunch of influences within Iggy's voice, but this album feels very unique. The first side feels like a descent into depression. The B side is a wild, self-medicating drug trip to pull yourself out of said depression. LA Blues is just insane.

Classic Dre. Whole album slaps, but if you're looking for hits: Nothin' But A Thang, Bitches Ain't Shit, and Let Me Ride. I really dig Rat-tat-tat-tat and Stranded On Death Row as well.

I don't have a ton of experience listening to Elvis, but his voice is damn near angelic. His ability to inflect the emotion of the song is second to none. Its probably for these reasons that this version of "Long Black Limousine" became so famous. "Only The Strong Survive" and "I'm Movin' On" are my personal favorites after listening to this.

Synth heavy 80's English Pop, but I found the album hit or miss. While The Look of Love is iconic, Poison Arrow was a large miss for me. (the disco-ish mix was certainly... a choice.) 4 Ever 2 Gether was a pleasant surprise however. Pretty rad song.

A true trip that instantly fills your head with ideas of "Yeah, these guys where high when they recorded this one." Psychedelic music is hit or miss for me. I dug Moving In With, Fat Lady Wrestlers, Wrote For Luck (which almost feels out of place on this album), but some of the songs like Mad Cyril just didn't click with me. Certainly worth a listen.

MAYBE the best The Who album in their catalogue. Baba O Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, and Won't Get Fooled Again are the headliners, but don't sleep on Love Ain't For Keeping, Getting In Tune, and Going Mobile are all terrific as well.

I don't have a lot of experience with this sort of music, but this was a breeze to listen to. It had some really wonderful beats, and you can really feel that early 2000's vibe of punk rock suffused with the electronica. North American Scum & New York I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down are the standouts. Would recommend if you have a thing for early 2000's music in the same vein as The Gorillaz or The Killers, but with more dancing potential.

What more could be said about this landmark album? It's just great, and a pillar of the development of Rock and Roll during the 1970's. Highway Star and Smoke on the Water are the ones everybody should/will know, but the rest of the album is just stellar too.

Bob Dylan is the prototype Singer-Songwriter that so many here in the US have tried to emulate in their own ways across multiple genres since he burst on to the scene in the 1960's. While I'm largely unfamiliar songs that aren't apart of his "Greatest Hits", this album opens with Tangled Up In Blue, a very well known song that is absolutely terrific, and I think sums up everything Bob is about (musically at least) in a nice little package. Whether or not this album is actually about the disintegration of Bob's marriage at the time, you feel a lot of hurt in all of the songs. It's a certainly a heartfelt goodbye to something, and for that, this album absolutely deserves to be on the list.
