Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Sound a lot like the Pet Shop Boys. Good - not great. Best song is Go West. 3/5

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

4/5

Trailblazers. I can hear so much of groups to come on this album - Yaz, Dépêche Mode, Erasure…….so many. I really enjoyed this album and have recommended it to others.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

4/5

Classic album. I’ve already listened to this hundreds of times. Saw them on the tour supporting this album back in the late 1980s. My favorite song is Hysteria my least listened to song would be excitable or run riot. While all songs “fit” this album, those two are my least favorite. Great album that is a super quick listen because it is easy on the ears.

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

3/5

I do not recall hearing this band before. Despite that - they sound familiar. They sound very British and some of the songs remind me of The Beatles or Oasis. It is an entertaining album.

The Score

Fugees

2/5

Lauryn Hill is what I like most about this album. Such a clear, strong and beautiful voice. I will listen to her songs again - not the whole album.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

One of the funkiest and smoothest bands on earth.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

Great stoner album.

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

I do lot recall the last time I listened to this album. What a swan song (album) for such a great and influential band. It is a great listen and every song gets your attention. Also takes me back!

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

Good album containing some all time classics. More background music for me.

Gorillaz

4/5

Only heard singles from this group before. Wish I would have listened to the album sooner! Great tracks that keep you interested and nice beats. Solid album.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

Interesting album. Not my bag.

Crazysexycool

TLC

3/5

Cool, funky and a great Listen.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

Never listened to this album before. While there are definitely some Dylan songs I really like, I did not like all on here.

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

1/5

I tried - I really did - just not my thing. While it has a rhythm and beat to it, I don’t totally understand this music.

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

1/5

I have never heard of this band. With pretty much every track I feel as if I am waiting for the song to begin - as if it is unfinished. Good background music……I guess.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

The Real Thing

Faith No More

4/5

LOVED this album. Kid rock owes them a big thank you card for his career. This album seemed so groundbreaking and different to me. Is it rap? Is it metal? It was just good. It was also a bit cheeky - which I liked.

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

The soundtrack of my teen years. Not a bad song on this album. From the cheeky You can call me Al to the harmonies of Under African skies - such deep and rich music. Although, I never understood why an album with such African music influence was named after, and a song about, Elvis’ home.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

1/5

Nah

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

1/5

I listened once…..that’s enough.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Bought this album after hearing the song Fast Car. She has such an emotive voice. Honest, raw storytelling.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

What a fantastic album. Spector’s wall of sound pairs perfectly with Christmas music. Great album from beginning to end!

Dire Straits

2/5

I had only heard the song Sultans of Swing from this album. I like that song and liked the others on the album. Bluesy with a bit of country/western mixed in. This album is different from the more mainstream and pop-ish album that I remember well, Brothers in Arms, in the early 1980s. . Would I listen to this album again? Probably not, but I did not mind listening to it today.

Black Monk Time

The Monks

1/5

Never heard of the Monks. I was ok with that.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

I like oasis. Decent album.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

1/5

It’s the kind of music you put on at a party when you want your guests to say “What the f$&k is this?”
