Good enough but probably won’t be looking for more of his music anytime soon.
James Brown
4/5
Had some very fun and groovy tunes. Was very entertaining and original.
The Smashing Pumpkins
3/5
I honestly want to give this more stars but the singers voice is wretched and the melody behind it is boring. Some decent songs but I couldn’t wait for this album to end.
Kraftwerk
3/5
Very underwhelming album. Love Kraftwerk but this album was very long and drawn out for what I was looking for.
Lorde
2/5
Nothing entertaining or even remotely interesting about this album.
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Amazing album. Not the biggest fan of her style but so genuine and real.
Nirvana
4/5

Iron Maiden
5/5
Amazing. Didn’t realize how the band started and kicked so much ass.
The Boo Radleys
3/5
Was decent, very strange band that I could get into the flow with but wasn’t totally blown away by. Very cool but not my style.
Electric Light Orchestra
3/5
Was a pretty easy album to listen to. I wasn’t blown away by it.
Pink Floyd
3/5
I’ve tried and tried and tried and I mean really tried ti like Pink Floyd but they just don’t do it for me. Couldn’t wait for this album to be over. Was fairly bored, mildly entertained.
Rage Against The Machine
4/5
Always a classic. Not a fan of every track but a stellar band from the 90’s.
Throwing Muses
2/5
This was added to the list for some reason and first listen I wasn’t blown away by anything.
Todd Rundgren
3/5
This wasn’t just an album, this was an experience. Seems like he was given the keys to a huge studio and he made anything and everything. Some really interesting tracks and some really boring ones too. I want to give it 4 but I probably won’t be revisiting this album anytime soon.
