Talking Heads 77
Talking Heads
Talking Heads' entire catalog is great! Remain in Light is a masterpiece. I recognize the critical hype of Talking Heads: 77 and have a hard time accepting it as more than 3.5 stars. I try to listen as if I was exposed to this in 1977, amd think that it was a "you had to be there" moment. Good for a casual listen.

Pictures At An Exhibition
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Not bad, but not an album that I feel I needed to hear in my lifetime. Maybe had I listened to the Mussorgsky orchestral piece prior to "get this." More like a 2.5 rating from me.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
I really dug this! I had previously never heard of them. I learned while reading up on them that Michael Franti fronts Spearhead. Very reminiscent of Public Enemy. I'll add this to my collection.

I've never been able to digest Tom Waits but I respect his artistry. I cannot give this a 1 becuase of it. Am extra star for the fact that this album wasn't completely unlistenable for me, it had some decent moments.

I spent the greater part of my life dismissing The Band as overrated having never fully sat down with their music. After giving it my full attention, I can see/hear what people recognize as nothing short of great. Five stars!

Odessa
Bee Gees
It was better than I expected. Starts off strong. A bit long winded and bloated. I'm glad that I listened before I died, I don't know if I'll be running to listen to it again. If it was cut shorter it would be a solid 4 or 5 in my book.

Emergency On Planet Earth
Jamiroquai
Im torn between 3 and 4 on this one. This was my first listen of Jamiroquai outside of thier "Virtual Imsanity" song. Even that song, I sum up as entertaining at the least. Very reminiscent of Stevie Wonder.

At Budokan
Cheap Trick
I will never understand the hype of this album or Cheap Trick in general. They are a fun band at the least. I forget that I've seen them live and what I do recall is that they were fun. But I don't see them as much more than that.
I had to give this album 2 listens and that's that I've given it 2 listens prior, I know my parents played the shit out of this too, and It doesn't click for me. Ive tried to see the greatness of this album, and I can't. Perhaps I had to be there?
At the very least, I'm glad that I gave it a listen so that I can give an opinion on the hype, but this albums borders a 3 for me.
