Born In The U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen
First time I had sit down with this one and I very much enjoyed it. Had heard all the singles before so interesting to hear it in the context of the album

Deep Purple In Rock
Deep Purple
Hadn't listened to much of their music outside of the millions of times they run on Classic Rock radio due to stuff like Smoke on the Water, but I think always had a good appreciation of where they stood within the rock/metal pantheon. I think this is a good entry point into their music. Fairly economical songs, and a great guitar record.

John Lennon
I was not familiar with this one going in at all. Maybe it will grow on further listening, but I was not a fan of this record. The Phil Spector stuff is never really a selling point for me, so I can't speak to the production as some sort of saving grace. There are some bits and bobs that were stronger than others, but I did not find the overall listening experience as pleasant

SY were always on the periphery of my music world back in the day, but I never dug too deep into them. Although I will say "The Diamond Sea" is one of my favorite tracks of theirs (not on this album though)
I liked this one quite a bit and probably will be revisiting again in the near future

I was a little surprised by this, but in a good way. Knew Walk on the Wildside of course, but wasn't as familiar with what surrounded it. I didn't know the history with Bowie and Ronson either, and how it was considered "glam". Solid

The Renaissance
Q-Tip
I had really only consumed Q-Tip's music through A Tribe Called Quest, which is all time(plus his great guest spot on Get it Together from Ill Communication). A lot of the Tribe aesthetic does bleed over into the production on this album, with maybe some more overt R&B inflections. Maybe just to my ear. A solid album
