Beastie Boys
A solid 4 for me, really enjoyed it. Quite different from their typical hits. Nice dubs and tight vocal delivery in true beastie fashion.

Bat Out Of Hell
Meat Loaf
To me it's a 2. I tried to like it back in the day, listened to it again but still just doesn't resonate. I appreciate musicals so it surprises me that I don't dig it. Not really sure why but it might be the Las Vegas style vocal delivery.

It's a really solid 3. Liked it back in the day but some of it sounds a bit dated now. Excellent musicianship all round though. Roundabout and Mood for a Day always brings a smile to my face.

Fear Of A Black Planet
Public Enemy
Only getting a 2 off of this one. Didn't know it back in the day. The first song had my expectations high but the rest just didn't resonate. I appreciate that it moved the genre forward with its dubs and media cuts.
