The Cars

1/5

Sounds like the very definition of american FM rock. Kinda sounds bland to me.

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

1/5

I hate this song Allergies, I think it's ridiculous. The 80s synth instrumentation kills me. I'm reminded of what I don't like about Paul Simon, the lyrics that go nowhere (in my opinion) except to a rhyme or pun. I don't feel a deep meaning, despite the songs hinting to it. No, Paul, in this case, you did not think too much.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

1/5

Did not like this one, made me think about how men of this era were telling yourg women to "feel their feelings", meaning let yourself get sexual, knowing that women were the only losers in the case of sexual relations: risk getting labeled a slut, risk stds, risk getting pregnant; while the young man gets no blame, can pretend the child is not his, can rely on the woman being ashamed and not outing his behavior.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

2/5

A little boring, nice plucky guitar, soft voice. Not really grabbed by the melody, some words stand out, but not something I'd want to listen to again. Sorry Nick Drake, this album is not my cup of tea.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

1/5

I prefer early Elvis to this. Here his voice is heavy, lacks energy, in my opinion. Instrumentation is more R&B and less rock.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

1/5

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Groovy

Grace

Jeff Buckley

Love it

Arise

Sepultura

2/5

seems a little adolescent on the drumming style, so cooky. Guitars are pretty classic. Everyhting sounds artificially sped up... like a parody

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

2/5

I like the musical style of this era. I had an incorrect preconception of this band. They are very much a band of the 60-70s, very much talks about human alienation, degradation of mental health in the modern world, loneliness, fear of the bomb and war.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

1/5

Confusing and not very interesting to me

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

so nice

The Visitors

ABBA

1/5

Really not into this disco stuff. The words are boring and cliché to me as well. The videos are awful, they make me think that the whole point of feminism for the women of Abba was in order to me able to go shopping and buy kooky outfits.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

1/5

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

1/5

This group was popular when I was young, but I never really caught on. Listening to it, now, I'm even less impressed. It sounds like college kids trying to be rebellious or moody or rock. Not very genuine nor melodic.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

2/5

I liked the Jesus Walks song, but otherwise I'm not a fan of Kanye.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

1/5

can't listen to it

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

1/5

Do not like his singing style, the band sounds ok

The Cars

1/5

Sounds like the very definition of american FM rock. Kinda sounds bland to me.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

2/5

Too abstract for an enjoyable experience for me.

Suzanne Vega

1/5

Not my cup of tea. She has a nice voice but I don't relate to it personnally. I don't like this style of talk-singing song style.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

1/5

I hate it.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

2/5

The first piece starts with that mellow, delicious guitar, heavenly. The singing on the first Motherless children lacks vivacity to me, but the music is great. Apparently these are covers. I don't like the "Give me strength" piece that is too country for my taste. A little boring.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

Blueberry hill is great, but a lot of these are very formulaic. Smooth, especially like the brass section.

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

2/5

Some is fun, some is joke-rhymes, some is sexist foolery. Very smooth, but not my jam.

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

2/5

I especially appreciate the bass in these songs, and the urgency and tightness of the playing. The drums are really fire. I don't really like the voice of the singer, and the completely (to me) unintelligible lyrics. I don't understand the album title. Singing is too fast I think.

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

1/5

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

Did not know this singer, a really nice discovery!

OK, but not super fun
