Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 31 2022

Lots of volume on these song; Back in Black and Hells Bells are the top songs for me.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Feb 01 2022

Great album; Led's early albums changed rock music; moved music away from the beatles and the like. They had songs with great stereo effects. they had songs with drum solos in them, they had songs with great change of pace. their albums' songs were all different from each other with different sounds. this album should easily be in the top 50.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Feb 02 2022

Nice album; easy to listen too while at work. nice rthym; loved the lyrics "let me put my shades on so i can see what i'm doin."

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 03 2022

enjoyed the groups' music. had not heard of them

Feb 07 2022

Rock music means you put out in music what you feel...this group have made it clear. it's an experience to listen.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Feb 09 2022

instruments are great; singing sub par. not a bad album

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Feb 10 2022
Dummy by Portishead
Feb 14 2022

the leads singer is passionate about the songs

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 21 2022

great songs on this album. so many good things have been said about this album. song "Homeless' is great, with a great lyrics. remember when this premiered, Paul said "this is my best album" and everyone was wishing for more music from him and Garfunkal. when it came out, everyone was amazed with it. different types of music and instruments. maybe this started more globalization of music, seemingly it was ahead of its time.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 22 2022

really great album. Willie's got a good voice that this album show. some of the songs are older than me.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 23 2022

not as good as some of their other catalog

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 02 2022

simple musically; not a lot of instruments, background vocals, etc. music is creative

Bossanova by Pixies
Mar 07 2022

the song "Rock Music" sums it up; it's rock music defined.

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 11 2022

Van Halen's album is a standard for albums of the time.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 18 2022

the album has great music background; the lyrics are not what i am used to... but that is the choice of the performer.

Be by Common

nice instruementals ; not looking good at the lyrics tho

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 31 2022

great album by Aretha Franklin.

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 12 2022

lyrics are somewhat puzzling

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 25 2022

incredible guitar sound; landmark lyrics in the songs. noted many of the songs were authored by an individual(s). the singing voices sometimes sound strained. great collection of their best.

Aug 09 2022

good album; this is one of the top albums that i had not heard previously

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Aug 10 2022

one of few groups that had their best album as their debut album. besides the commonly known songs, the album has unbelievable depth.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Aug 11 2022

probably their greatest album. Jeff Baxter is credited on the album, a guitarist that has a great resume.

some good piano tracks; "Sunlight" is a long time fave.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 24 2022

they included a great up time cover of Let's Dance besides the hits..as the band has said, they play long songs very fast.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Sep 13 2022

great album; The Only Living Boy in New York was the B side to Cecilia

Savane by Ali Farka Touré

without knowing the lyrics, can feel the blues in the instruments, (perhaps the oud)

Leftism by Leftfield
Sep 23 2022

Dog Man Star by Suede
Sep 28 2022

a wide variety of music on this album

much different from his more known music;

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Oct 10 2022

Watched Elvis movie, then listened to this album. If movie is to be believed, a very sad story of evil and tragedy.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Oct 13 2022

Freddie's Dead from the album is a classic protest song

Faith by George Michael
Oct 17 2022

top notch album that was somewhat controversial when it came out due to its lyrics

classic

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 21 2022

Good album

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Dec 28 2022

great album; "I've Got My Mojo Working" really gets it going. Part of the lyrics in "Soon Forgotten" are "The 12th of April in 1951". That's a long, long time ago.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Dec 30 2022
Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

Jan 12 2023

Mister Kelly’s was the club in Chicago to perform or watch . Sarah’s rendition of Stairway to the Stars is tremendous.

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 17 2023

A unique album. Broke new ground in 1967. Timeless

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Jan 18 2023

A psychedelic band. A genre that is not discussed, but portions absorbed and have influenced other genres. Rate as a 3

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jan 19 2023

1 out 100

My Generation by The Who
Aug 11 2023

great album; you can hear the influences of the blues in the album, just like many of the albums of the time period.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Oct 05 2023

so many things on the album are unique or rare; running songs together, the two ending songs, the way certain songs end, plus hits, and every Beatle has a strong prescence

after listening to this, album and the band is more than a one it wonder.
