Muddy Waters
A lot of history in this dude. Sounds good for being live and really starts cookin' after a few songs. The last Newport blues festival, so important in multiple ways. Pretty classic.

10cc
I saw this and thought, "10cc?! What, an album full of "I'm not in love"?" Turns out this is much more eclectic than I expected. Some upbeat head-bobbers, a couple quirky numbers, and Queen/McCartney/ELO vibes in a few places. It sounds like they were trying new things and having fun, and I appreciate that.

Brian Eno
What an odd thing...setting out to make music that's intentionally unremarkable and inventing a new genre in the process. The synth voice was probably pretty novel for the time, but I prefer the piano-based track. It has its place and could be a repeat listen.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse
For a Neil Young fan, this has to be a great album. As a casual fan, it's what i would have expected, however there are some rocked up numbers that make it feel like new territory for NY. I guess that makes it a precursor to grunge? It's decent, but not something I'd reach for.

UB40
When I think of UB40, the cover songs come to mind. I hated “Red Red Wine”. So I wasn’t so sure about this, but it’s solid. Mostly laid back reggae, but there’s some good social commentary – and with the Thatcher era starting (nod to the cover art) it has a right-for-the-time feel. Some tasty bass licks too. 3.8
