Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul
Otis ReddingGood music. Lots of covers so was familiar, but maybe more originals would have been better.
Good music. Lots of covers so was familiar, but maybe more originals would have been better.
The language and topics were too much, but if I could ignore that, I actually enjoyed the music.
I knew the popular ones here and generally liked the album. By the end I was a little tired of it though.
Fun songs, makes you want to dance even if you don't like to dance.
I own this one on vinyl. Many of the songs are played on the radio, so it's very familiar, but still excellent.
This was pleasant enough but a little dreary.
Good reggae. Some serious topics that I've not heard or at least haven't registered to me in my previous limited exposure to reggae.
This was pretty good. It felt a little repetitive, but generally I liked it.
I hadn't heard of this band before. They sound similar to other early punk bands to me.
I've heard probably half of these songs. Not really my type of music, but Adele has a great voice and I mostly like the songs fine. I did find the general tone a little sad and depressing though.
Really liked some of it, the rest not very much. Mixed bag for me.
Wow, I am quite surprised I liked this one. It was not what I was expecting and I liked it. Good variety of genres. Only thing I'd say is it got a little long by the end.
I generally like nine inch nails pretty well. This didn't catch me on a day when I was in the mood I guess, as I didn't enjoy it that much.
Not surprisingly liked this one. Enjoyed pretty much all the songs.
Mixed bag. Mostly pretty good.
This was okay but not what I expected from Iggy Pop. The Bowie influence was clear here.
I hadn't heard of this band, though it looks like I should have. This is the third or fourth punk band it's picked lately. It was fine but didn't stand out to me.
This was weird. I listened to the whole thing but did not enjoy much of it.
Liked this much more than I expected. In fact I really liked it!
This was okay but didn't grab me.
Pleasant enough but meh.
Own this on vinyl. Very nice.
I've tried to get into Nirvana but it's never really clicked. This album was just okay for me.
Just can't get into it. It's almost like ambient music. Not unpleasant.
Classic blues.
Good album. I like the Kinks but am not too familiar with their discography or many of these songs.
I like The Band, in moderation. I think I've listened to this one before. Pretty nice.
I knew some of these songs. Some I knew their version, others are covers. Great voice, but not really my style, though the couple of big hits I enjoy for nostalgic reasons I guess.
Never heard of this band but I was impressed. Not crazy about the singer. Reminded me of violent femmes but for some reason I didn't care for the voice here.
This is not like what I've heard from Beck. It's very mellow but sad and dreary. Would have to be in the right mood to listen again.
It's Frank, so pretty good! Not many songs I know but enjoyable enough.
I've learned that I like The Smiths.
Some classics here, love White Rabbit.
This was fine.
This was generally good but the songs seemed very similar. The vocals were a bit muddled for my taste.
Not a big country fan, but I enjoyed it for the most part.
Listened to this many times at the end of high school. Great album.
Not much of a rap fan. I think I liked b.i.g. a little better though.
Never listened to this whole album before but have intended to. Like it.
This was a bit mellower than the earlier rap albums I've listened to.
This was pleasant enough, but had some unexpected murder ballads (now I know what that is).
Never heard of him but this was pretty good guitar and singing.
I like this band, though a full album is probably more than I need at a time.
I'm not a huge CCR fan but I know and like a lot of these songs.
Some of the songs weren't available on spotify. What I listened to was pleasant but not that memorable to me.
Own the vinyl. One of the best by Yes!
I guess it's fine as far as rap goes.
I really liked most of this. The double album made it a bit long.
I had listened to this before. It's not bad but doesn't really grab me. Very cool he created this so near the end of his life though.
I remember some of these songs. Pretty tame rap these days.
This was pleasant
I liked this album. Heard of it before but didn't ever listen.
This was better than most of the hip hop I've listened to. There is some variety and other genres explored.
I recently started liking The Cure and other similar acts, but I found this overall a little dreary. Not sure if it was just this album or just too much in one sitting.
Haven't listened to them much. Good jam band SF vibe.
This didn't inspire me. I like some Temptations stuff but I guess it's older than this.
Interesting. Generally liked, though a little depressing.
This was pretty cool. Was not familiar with this bandleader.
This is a classic and I don't think I'd ever listened to it! It was good as I expected.
I thought I would like this better but it just didn't grab me.
I like Kiss just fine, never a big fan. This had a few good ones though.
I never liked Anthrax growing up, but recently I've heard some that were pretty good. I did enjoy this album for the most part.
Good Blues!
This was enjoyable. I remember some of these songs. Nothing new really grabbed me but it was fine.
I don't know enough to judge the quality of a jazz piano performance but I really enjoyed it.
I liked a few of the songs quite a bit but the double album was a little long.
Own this one so I obviously like it!
Generally liked this. A couple songs were a bit dreary though.
I like this pretty well, and already knew some of the songs. Interesting backstory on this that I wasn't aware of.
This was a little milder than I was expecting. It was not bad overall.
I own this on CD. Like the variety of styles, it's good!
Nirvana-esque, especially the unintelligible vocals. Pretty guitar focused which I liked though.
This was pleasant and pretty interesting, though I probably wouldn't listen again.
Have it on vinyl. Very nice!
I've listened to this before, and I'm mixed on it. There is some good stuff but it's also quite long.
This was a little dreary for many songs. Also spotify didn't have all the songs. I preferred the first Big Star album.
Some of this was pretty good. Didn't love it but decent.
I liked this better than Kid A, but just can't seem to get into Radiohead for some reason.
This is a classic but has never been my favorite Zep album.
I enjoyed this one. None of the songs were that memorable to me but overall it was good.
This has a lot of hits. Didn't realize they were all from this album. Actually enjoyed this probably much out of nostalgia.
Own this classic!
Some classic songs here and overall enjoyed it.
This was fine. It's just not the type of music that grabs me and makes me want to listen, but it was pleasant to listen to.
Not my preferred genre but was okay.
I liked this. I've never been a big fan of Get It On but I've recently doing I like a lot of their other music.
Own this one! Especially side 1 is great.
Some classics here!
High energy, I liked.
This felt like background music to me. Not bad but not very engaging.
I liked this better than the one I listened to earlier in the list. Seemed more uptempo.
We listen to quite a few of these every Christmas.
I'm not a big Dylan fan but I did like this.
This was a little dreary. I preferred the one a little while ago with more "swinging" tunes.
I enjoyed this. Still pretty mellow but better than later era Rod.
This was interesting in that this influenced a lot of folk music I guess. I enjoyed it for the most part.
This is good. Own it.
Pleasant voice, some songs I know. Not bad.
This was pretty good. There are a couple of my favorite Elvis songs here.
I have/had (not sure which) this on CD but don't think I ever really listened much. This was generally pretty good, I enjoyed it.
Good album, brings me back to high school.
I'm not a big Dylan fan but I liked this one. Has probably my favorite of his, Tangled Up In Blue.
I liked the first half better, which is surprising since I really like Hey Ya. Overall was just okay and clearly too long.
I liked the first half. The second half was a little slower going.
This was fun.
This was weird. I actually really liked the music, the vocals, etc. The topic really made it hard to totally enjoy though, so I can't see listening again.
This has the Bon Jovi songs I like so this was actually enjoyable.
This was not unpleasant but really felt like just ambient music. Kind of a waste of my listening time.
This was good. Mostly happy enjoyable stuff.
I just heard of this folk group. This was pretty decent but didn't seem like something I'll remember a week from now
Good set of classic Elvis tunes.
Early liked the first couple songs. The rest wasn't as memorable but perhaps I was distracted while listening.
This was just okay. A little dull.
This was even better than I remember it being.
I enjoyed this but it isn't something I feel is listen to repeatedly.
This was more interesting historically than anything, but I generally did enjoy it.
Funky!
Wow lots of good ones on here.
No problem with this but I don't love it. I remember the hits when it came out and as then, it's fine but meh.
This was pretty good.
I actually really enjoyed this.
This is enjoyable and nostalgic for me.
Last song wasn't available but this was pretty good. First half was pleasant ambient, second half more rock.
This was pretty good. Is only listened to a little of this band. I feel like i liked the songs as they were playing, but at the same time was ready for it to end.
This was pretty good but I remember liking Back to Black better when I listened to it.
I have this on CD but haven't listened in a while.
This was good. Interesting that this was a big turning point for the Stones and the type of music they were recording.
I enjoyed this. Unique pop music and the singer was also good.
This was interesting and apparently a very important album.
This was really good blues!
This was pretty good. I had listened to Blur a little before but not much.
This was good. I like the Kinks and while I didn't know most of these songs, I enjoyed them.
I've listened to this a few times and I just am not that crazy about it. Some of it I enjoy but it's a little too long or something.
I have this. I enjoy it and obviously it's an important album.
This was more interesting then most rap I thought. It was a bit long though.
I liked a few of the songs a lot, but the rest was just okay. Mostly piano and vocal harmonies.
Pretty good Blues
This was super pleasant to listen to. All of a similar style but upbeat musically (maybe not lyrically) so nice to listen to.
Have this LP. It's really good.
Good one
I discovered this recently. Guitar focused instrumentals are great. Shorter songs are good too.
This is not my preferred type of music, but this was pretty enjoyable.
Did not really enjoy this. Too long.
I expected to like this more. It was pretty dreary.
This was more country than I expected, though after reading about it I guess that was the intent. It was pretty good but not something I really would gravitate to.
Listened to this one on LP.
This was pretty good.
Like some of it but got a little old.
Never listened to this but there were some good songs.
This was definitely not my type of music, but I enjoyed it more than I thought. There were even some vocals to mix things up.
This was pretty interesting. Not something I would necessarily listen to repeatedly but pretty cool.
I've never listened to this whole album but here are a lot of good songs. Some I knew and some new ones.
Very good. A little long.
This was just okay. I found it a little slow, though the songs were nice.
I have heard most if not all of this before. It's not really my style but I did enjoy many of the songs. Even a Cure cover!
This was a little mellower and more folksy than the title track.
I haven't listened much to their studio albums, but this one has a lot of good songs.
This was pretty country but I enjoyed it!
This was decent for the genre.
This was pretty good.
I own this one and it's good. I feel maybe it's a few too many songs, but it's really good.
I feel like I should have liked this more. It seemed good, but something about it just left me cold.
There are some good songs but this was really too long.
Really like some of this. More interesting than what I think of from the temptations.
Meh
Meh. I don't know who listens to this. It's basically background noise.
This was fine. It was not too hard core or anything. I'm not sure it will be memorable to me though.
This was not bad. Better than I was expecting.
Good Latin music
I liked a few of the songs but didn't like it as well as I expected overall.
I have been wanting to listen to this one. It seemed good but it didn't grab me like I'd hoped.
Liked it. Good message, good music.
Pretty good and kind of weird.
It's a little crazy but mostly good.
I did like this better than most others I've heard of this genre.
Good and swampy!
Mostly enjoyed this. I remember a song or two from when this came out.
Just a little too dreary for my taste.
Not my type of music but this was okay. At least I could see how someone could dance to it.
I liked this.
Liked this pretty well
This was okay.
I've never been a big fan but I know some of the songs. Interesting that Prince is on here too.
I grew up listening to this one and own it on vinyl.
Yes! Probably my favorite Floyd album (this or Animals).
Classic!
Own this one A bit surprised to see it here but it's a good one.
Is never listened to this whole album, but it was good.
This was decent but not a huge fan of the vocals.
I used to really like this band and it was still enjoyable, but the songs I hadn't heard didn't really grab me.
I listened to this once before and for this genre it's one of the best ones in my limited listening. Not too harsh, good music.
I listened to this one before but O still can't get into it. Seems like something I should like and it's not bad, but leaves me a little cold.
Ugh. Long and boring
Doesn't sound much country to me but good.
Really good. Desert Blues!
This was even better then I remember. Besides the well known songs, I really liked some of the other ones.
This was actually really good
It's was fine. I just can't seem to get into Waits though. Voice seemed extra scratchy on this one!
This was cool. Mostly different songs from Folsom live.
I think I listened to this one before. Not really my genre of choice but it was not bad.
Own this one on vinyl. Really good tunes.
I probably missed something but this seemed like pleasant pop but nothing remarkable.
I didn't particularly care for it.
Good early Dylan
Fine for the genre but not really my preferred music.
Good very 80's sounding pop.
I remember a couple of these. Pretty good 90s record.
Some of this I liked okay, but it was too long.
I own this one on vinyl.
This was pleasant yet somehow a little depressing.
I liked it. Similar to what I know from Randy Newman.
This was pretty good. Was not familiar with her or her music, though I'd heard her name.
It was a little weird. I thought i would like it better. Maybe after a few listens.
Wow, I knew a lot more of these songs than I expected. She wrote or cowrote all of them as well.
I've owned this in the formats, so I'm a fan!
This is another favorite!
I remember my roommate had this in college. I like several of the songs, and others not so much.
Great one.
Not the biggest fan but it was enjoyable. Pretty discoish and I knew a few songs.
This one is great
Some of the tunes were catchy but I didn't love it
Favorite billy joel album.
I hadn't really listened to them but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I've tried Flaming lips, and they're just ok for me.
Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed this one. This is more like what I expected that EDM would sound like... actually danceable.
Mixed bag on this one.
I enjoyed this.
Hadn't listened to this whole thing before.
This was a pretty good one. Just a little long.
I have listened to them before and never was excited. This was pretty good though.
I liked the up tempo songs but the rest was a bit slow. Nice voice I suppose.
I liked it better than I thought. Songs were more mature than I expected... not sure why.
I know it's old but this one seemed a bit dated to me.
Good debut album that I own.

This was pretty entertaining.

Good piano jazz
Lots of good tunes here.

Classic
This was tolerable but I got pretty tired of it by the end.
Never listened to a whole blondie album. This was good.
Owned this when it first came out. I don't enjoy it as much anymore probably because it's been overplayed.
Not sure if I'd listened to this entire album before. It was a good one.
Pretty disturbing lyrics but i guess it's satire. Other than that the music was pretty good for the genre.
This was better than I though after reading the description. Another long one though.
This had a lot of songs I know,plus more I really liked. Surprisingly good.
This was pretty good. I think I need to give it another listen.
This is a good older live show.
There are some good songs here but too much of a good thing for me.
This was fine. I'm not a dance fan but it was pretty good.
This was good. More up-tempo than The Idiot.
Pleasant. Never listened to anything from them other than the big hits, but was about as expected.
Interesting but quite long
I liked this pretty well. Never heard of them.
This was good.
Own this one.
This was okay. Not really my genre but it wasn't obnoxious or anything.
Only got to listen to part of it.

This might be their best.
Generally better than I remember liking Beck. Like quite a few of the songs, some others not quite as much.

I liked it. I've listened to some songs from them pretty recently. Definitely hit or miss for me.
This was pretty interesting for the time it was made.
Good jazz
This is good. Own it on vinyl.
Interesting as a historical piece but I didn't love it.
Never heard of them. This was okay but not amazing.
I've heard a couple of these. Not bad.
Nice!
Good voice and music but got a bit stale by the end.
This was just okay. Not sure why there are multiple albums from them in this list.
I have this CD and it still sounds pretty good today.
This was interesting and overall pretty enjoyable, but weird.
I didn't like this very much. Too poppy and not even catchy to me.
This was actually pretty good. Probably my favorite EDM album I've listened to.
This was weirder than I was expecting.
Good reggae
Not bad. Very clear topic on this one
Calm, pleasant, nice singing. Overall just a bit slow and too much of the same sort of sound.
Duh
