Jangly. Poppy. Not something I’d search out on my own. But not a bad listen. Just not my cup. 3/5

This is more my speed. I did take a course on the history of rock music and this kind of classic, foundational music was something I was really into. There's so much energy here. I can imagine being a kid in 1957 and this would have been like getting shocked if you stuck a fork in the electric socket. Your hair standing on end, your spine-tingling, and your feet jittering. This is just amazing because I can't even imagine rocking on a piano like this now. Besides Billy Joel and Elton John, do we even see pianos anymore in rock setups? I'll totally come back to this. I forgot how great this album was. 5/5

This is pretty mellow for my liking. It also is my first James Taylor album. I know him. Never listened to him though. Not bad. Not something I’d be to interested in listening to regularly. It feels timeless and dated at the same time. ‘Fire and Rain’ is a great song. But that’s about it for me on this one. For a greatest album, I feel like it should have more hits or really sticky songs. Cormac called it pleasant. But why am I listening this country stuff? 3.5/5 75/100

Torn between 3 & 4 stars here. It’s a good album. Uneven in spots. But I have fond memories of it as well. 75/100 4/5

I’m surprised that I enjoy this. It also reminds me of a period of time in music. Reading the liner notes on Apple Music, adding guitar would have killed these songs. Trust the artist.

This is great for just grooving and locking in on my work. I like jazz and EDM for focusing. 4/5 85/100

I like this. It’s depressing but good. 4/5 83/100

72/100 3/5 Solid. Trippy. I remembered it differently than when I listen in 2023.

AMAZING! 5/5 90/100

Never listened to Morrissey before. It’s nice. Sad but nice.

3/5 Melodic and heavy.

Power pop is how I’d describe this. Pleasant but nothing special.

An Irish jig or something. Knew the name but nothing else. I like this even if it’s completely something I’d never listen to. Pop with Irish folk influences. 4/5

Cmon. This is the best. 5/5

Fine. Not my thing. Not that interesting to me. 2/5

“I don’t believe you! You’re a liar! Play it fucking loud!” 5/5

A favorite of dad rock. 5/5

New to me. I knew the name, but this is solid classic 70s-ish rock. Hints of psychedelic music. Poppy. I’m not sure I’d search it out normally, but I like it and I’d listen again.

This sounds before it’s time. It’s crazy the sounds that these guys used. 5/5

Epic

Not my thing.

Obviously 5/5

Not my favorite. Muddy guitar that sounds a little generic dirty rock guitar. 2/5

4/5

Would never have discovered this without the site. I wasn’t sure what I was listening to at the start but by the end I loved it. 5/5

3/5. Not my favorite Funkadelic but some of the songs still jam.

4/5 Before my time but good.

5/5 I’ve listened to this a lot lately due to the Ryan Adams take on the album. I’d forgotten how great it was.

A nightly soundtrack during the early nights of my career when I was involved in nightclubs. A great album.

4/5

Some of this is good. Some of it is filler. I remember having a lot of fun at this tour though. I’ll go 3/5

Seductive, obviously. Not as dated as you might expect. 3/5

Make sure you go for the explicit version. I like the beats and jazz influence. The flow is different compared to the hip-hop I grew up on. But it’s a solid album. 3/5

I like this. Love the energy and the beats. Still feels fresh. 4/5

3/5

Just the right album for a holiday weekend. The driving beats. The songs that are familiar. The songs that aren’t as famous. It all mixes nicely together to make a really good album. 4/5
