Caetano Veloso

4/5

Easy listening, tropical meets 60s rock vibes. It could easily be used for movie soundtracks. Enjoyable and relaxing, even if I don’t fully understand Portuguese.

Paul Simon

4/5

Easy singer/songwriter vibe. Paul Simon incorporates some world type sounds into his album, ex: "Duncan" uses what sound like pan flutes. I enjoyed it, though I'm not sure this particular sound is my fave.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

This album is ok but nothing in particular engaged me or caught my attention.I found it a bit under stimulating.

Adele

4/5

She’s a good singer and although I enjoyed her hits, I am definitely not into pop. I can’t say that most of her songs are memorable.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Solid guitar, keys, drums, singer..I can see how this band and album have probably influenced artists. It’s my first time listening and I enjoyed it, though I hadn’t grown up with my parents listening to music like this and therefore have never been too in touch with classic rock.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

I can see the influence this band has had in a lot of indie bands. However, I do not enjoy the upbeat 60s vibe personally.

Suede

5/5

Love it. It's got a post-punk vibe. Catchy, edgy, fast paced and not so cookie cutter, which is great!

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

4/5

Pretty good. A cross between punk rock and a hair band…glam rock?

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

Classic 50s rock, easy listening.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

Easy listening. Clapton has songs showcasing various music styles, such as reggae, blues, and country.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

3/5

Good overall punk/post-punk album.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

4/5

Tori has her own sound as a singer/songwriter/pianist. However, I can pick up on her Kate Bush influence. I think her songs are suited for a more mature female audience. At least, that's been my experience as I knew of her while growing up but never really enjoyed her music until now.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Rockin', bluesy, jazzy. It's a really good overall rock'n roll album. Can't really say I like his voice, but still...

Le Tigre

3/5

It's been a while since I've listened to this album. It's catchy, upbeat, fun, a little punk and a little electronic. All in all good and fun album.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

4/5

50s/60s rock'n roll vibe, surf-rock styled guitars. Classic tunes found in this album like "Do you love me?" and "Roll over Beethoven".

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

It's got a couple of singles, mainly "Like a Prayer" and "Cherish". Aside from Madonna's reputation and legacy, the album is average, in my opinion.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

Caetano Veloso

4/5

Easy listening, tropical meets 60s rock vibes. It could easily be used for movie soundtracks. Enjoyable and relaxing, even if I don’t fully understand Portuguese.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

A little bit country, folk, blues and rock’n roll. It’s no doubt that Neil Young is a great singer/songwriter. It’s not really my style, but my hats off to him and the obvious influence he’s had on may others musicians due to his own musicianship.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Classic 50s rock, blues.

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

3/5

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith
