Rhythms were good. Vocals were haunting. Lyrics were dark. It's not my usual taste, but I enjoyed hearing it.

Syd Barrett
Very interesting to hear from a historical perspective, considering his contributions to Pink Floyd. Knowing the history, however, I couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for Syd Barrett.

The Scream
Siouxsie And The Banshees
Liked "Overground", builds nicely and a little more melodic. Most lyrics are very dark, but seem to be congruent with the pulsing beats and thrashing guitars. Interesting to finally see them in the video for the last song.

Catch A Fire
Bob Marley & The Wailers
When it comes to reggae, you can't be Bob Marley. Right from the first notes to the end of the album this record rocks. The bass lines and rhythms are infectious and the guitar solos have real feeling, as does the singing. This album also has Peter Tosh, another great talent who died too young.

This album is an old friend. Cream was a 60s super group that produced some great music. Strange Brew, Tales of Brave Ulysses, and Sunshine of Your Love were big hits and are standouts on the album. There's a lot of good music here,

Likeable pop. Powerful voice. Hard to criticize Adele, but I'm not a big fan of this. Could be my age, but it sounds way overproduced and overly dramatic.

Abbey Road
Beatles
For my mind, this is the best of Beatles, especially side two. I could do without Octopus' Garden and Maxwell's Silver Hammer, but the rest of the album is solid. The guitar work on "I Want You" is fascinating. On a side note, this YouTube version is a little frustrating because there is silence between all the tracks on side two. They should be connected together.
