The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith

A country artist I have never heard. And that's a hard feat to do! 5 star album all the way

Pyromania by Def Leppard

Maybe I was being unfair to Def Leppard. This album rocks

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 08 2022

I have heard most of these and they are all fantastic even the ones I hadn't heard

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jul 09 2022

Not terrible. Some songs are good. But I probably wouldn't listen again

In Utero by Nirvana
Jul 10 2022

A few good songs but nothing to write home about. Solid three stars.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jul 11 2022

I started off not liking it. It kinda grew on me a the day wore on. Not something I'd listen to all the time but I may play it again

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jul 12 2022

Not a big fan of disco. This album has a few good tracks but most of them get on my nerves

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jul 13 2022

I go into this biased: I hate edm and techno. It's like nails on the chalkboard to me. With that being said I went into this with an open mind. Maybe since it was on this list it may change my mind. God knows my son would love that. Within 5 minutes I was wondering if i could convince a deity to send someone with a hot soldering iron to jam into my ear to end the pain. After about twenty minutes or so (Felt like an eternity), the song (can you really call them that though? ) what does your soul look like came on. This was the only reprieve on the entire album. This is the one track that if I was stuck on an elevator listening too I wouldn't end it all. After that one track it was back to pondering whether a rusty screwdriver to the ear would end the pain. I listened to it all, I will never willing do it again, even though most of these albums I listen to twice in case is something that might grow on me.

More Specials by The Specials
Jul 14 2022

I honestly feel like a broken record. While this was not nearly as bad as the album from yesterday. It is not something i would listen to willingly. It does not get 1 star from me for two reasons. There was a track in there rather catchy unfortunately not catchy enough for me to remember the name but it was towards the top. And all of the album was tolerable to some degree or other. But it's definitely not my cup of tea

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jul 15 2022

Finally an album to enjoy! This entire album is solid and la grange is a pleasure to listen to. I would definitely add this into my rotation. 4 out of 5 stars.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jul 16 2022

The album was a lot better than I expected. I even knew some of the songs despite never having knowledge of this artist. Solid 4/5

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jul 17 2022

Omg. I expected not to like this album. Boy was i ever wrong. I love it. It's relaxing and it will definitely get an add in my shuffle

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jul 18 2022

It sounds like someone is trying to beat the radio shack for more information. Either that or a gang of toddlers got ahold of their parents instrument's. Probably listenable if you're into that sorta thing. This album has about ten seconds of listenable music. But I assume that's just when the babysitter walked in. Don't worry he left quite quickly

Jul 19 2022

Wasn't sure what to think going in to this. It was not bad. I could see this band going on my shuffle. Without knowing any musical terms (im learning) I would describe this as upbeat but slightly angry rock. Sounds kind of familiar but at the same time foreign. 4/5

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Jul 20 2022

This is the kind of music that when one song comes in you go... that's not too bad. But then as you hear more and more of it; It will start to irk your nerves. Wouldn't be bad to add to my shuffle but i probably wouldn't listen to an album again. 3/5

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jul 21 2022

To much electronica for me personally

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 23 2022

5 star album from a 5 star band

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jul 24 2022

Is background music. Wouldnt be bad to add to a shuffle but not interesting enough to go searching for

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Jul 25 2022

Great country rock.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Jul 27 2022

A country artist I have never heard. And that's a hard feat to do! 5 star album all the way

Love the sounds of this album. Definetely earning a place among my favorites.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 29 2022
Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jul 30 2022

It wouldn't be bad background music. Just don't listen to closely and it's nice. 3/5

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jul 31 2022

Maybe I was being unfair to Def Leppard. This album rocks

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Aug 02 2022

Odd to find a band that both me and my teenage son enjoy. Gotta give this one a five

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Aug 10 2022

um.. for the first time i thought what the hell is this? the sex pistols are bad enough this somehow made that worse? 2/5

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Aug 11 2022

Sounds like Morrison. great background music but nothing i'd probably go out of my way to play, but this album will go on shuffle

Back In Black by AC/DC
Aug 13 2022

I love AC/DC and as much as I have heard most of these, it did have a few songs I had never heard. solid 5/5
