I didn't listen to the lyrics in a detailed way. I was tempted to give it 4, as 3 doesn't seem high enough. But will I really listen to it again...maybe more than other 4's I've rated on this list.

Bad Company
Bad Company
Lol. OMG! Why is this on the list?! I know this album well. I've listened to it a few times, and I weirdly like the simplicity. However, the arrangements are simple, the singing isn't exceptional. But my biggest criticism is that the lyrics are terrible, and possibly the most basic lyrics of all time. If feels like they wrote this album just to make tons of money and get laid. The cheese factor is high with this album! Is it on the list because it was popular in the 70s? Ugh.
And yet...I know the lyrics to some of the songs. I would 100% sing the song Bad Company in karaoke. Never mind, maybe they are geniuses...
Story time: I worked at a record store while in college, and I heard this album for the first time when someone put it on in the store. The song Bad Company came on and I ask who the band was, and someone said Bad Company. And my co-worker said "you've never heard of Bad Company" and obviously I hadn't. I asked the name of the album and they said Bad Company...thought it was very funny (and still do) that we were listening to the song Bad Company, by Bad Company on the Bad Company album. How creative and original is this band?

I'm a huge Miles Davis fan, and jazz of this era in general. This album came two years before Kind of Blue, and it has such a different vibe. The songs are short, and the album is short too. It doesn't have the long solos I'm used to in a Davis album. It's all about the band playing together, and not about Davis in particular. It's a very sweet and complicated at the same time. This is such a good recording too. I really loved this album, but I'm likely to give all Davis albums of this era a 5.

But I can't see myself putting it on and just listening to it or having it as background music. Hence my low rating. It truly is just too repetitive. The one song that made me sit up and listen was The Way Young Lovers Do which is excellent, and I imagine in my head that Stufjan Stevens listened to this album and it inspired the band in Illinois.

Every Picture Tells A Story
Rod Stewart
Overall the album's not horrible, but I won't listen to it again.
Toughts:
It's weird hearing him sing the song "That's All Right", which was made famous by Elvis. I just listened to the original of "That's All Right" by Arthur Crudup and it FAR surpasses both Stewart and Elvis. But the Elvis version is good too. Stewart can't hold a candle to either of them. And why the hell did it transition to Amazing Grace?! That did not work at all!
Why does "Maggie May" start with a classical sounding chamber piece? This album is trying too hard, and comes across as pretentious for no reason.
I just realized that almost all these songs are cover songs done bady! Look up the song "(I know) I'm Losing You", the Temptations sang it, Gladys Night and the Pips AND The Jackson Five. This version by Stewart sucks!
And on a weird note I know most of the words to "Reason to Believe", and I had no idea until I listened to this album. My parents were Rod Stewart fans so I blame them. I don't recognize this version, so I guess I just know the unplugged version.

Love how bluesy and jazzy this album is compared to Back to Black. So much potential.

What a voice! I knew I would like this album. So easy to listen to. But, as it was common in pop music back when, most of these songs are covers. And some of the originals are WAY better. That being said Elvis is pretty great.

I actually liked this and found it easy to listen to and fun. I've always liked blue rock and Eric Clapton.

Patti Smith
Ok. I really wanted to like this album because it's so influential. But I just don't do well with meandering lyrics and song structures. It makes sense that she toured with Dylan a lot as they both have very poetic styles. I do like her voice, so maybe I'll try a few other albums to see if they have more structure.

Hotel California
Eagles
I tried my best to listen and like this but I couldn't. The Eagles were my Dad's favorite band, and if the sounds were all as good as Hotel California I would love it, but this album is way too cheesy for my taste.

Eh. I really like the first song. After that this album is way too long and feels like one long song.

Taylor Swift
It was a pleasant album and nice to listen to on a fall day. But it didn't really grip me. All the songs sound similar. I've never been very moved by Swifts lyrics, or metaphors. The only song I really liked was "no body, no crime" because it felt different and had a good hook and melody.

Eh, not my thing. It was a bit odd. I liked a few songs, and I feel like Tori Amos was really influenced by her...but this album didn't hit.

I forgot how much I love this album. There are some weird tracks but overall so good. My favorites are all the hits, but I forgot about X.Y.U. I love that song!

I was resistant to give this a 5 because I'm sort of embarrassed about how much I love this album. But Mike's right, it's iconic. It's a 5.

I listened for Mike. It's one of his favorite albums of all time...But I just don't like U2. I can stomach the first three songs on this album and the last song, but I find U2 to be boring and cheesy. I'm sorry. I really tried. But I can't.
