Let It Be
The Replacements
With classics such as "Gary's Got a Boner", it's hard to deny the impact that The Replacements had on the punk rock scene. However, while this album had some bops that I could bob to like "I Will Dare", overall I wasn't truly encapsulated by what was there, no matter how fun the overall album is.

The Stranger
Billy Joel
Billy Joel has always been a favorite of mine; his strong lyricism and jazzy melodies always keep me invested. While this album has some absolute bangers ("Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) is AMAZING), I can't say every song hits like I would like it to. Still fantastic, though.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan has always been a beautiful lyricist with incredibly soulful and meaningful songs. This album is no exception and really epitomizes his style. The only issue I have, and this probably goes for most folk albums, is that with just having a guitar, harmonica, and a sultry voice, the songs blend a little too much.

Live At The Regal
B.B. King
Love this; the way B. B. King can work a crowd is phenomenal, not to mention just how much soul and passion is put into the music. I usually don't like live albums, but in this case the crowd is truly a part of the experience and heightens the impact of King's music. The only reason I don't give this 5 stars is that the album seems to be pieced together from various live performances versus being one performance, and that breaks a bit of the immersion.

Crosby, Stills & Nash
I’m going to keep saying that these albums are good until there’s one that I don’t think is good. That day is not today, though, as this album is good.

A bit problematic, but still a bangin album. As far as I can tell the band hasn’t done anything shitty, so I feel better for liking the album.

Songs In The Key Of Life
Stevie Wonder
This feels like an album that everyone should know about. Classic Stevie just oozing with personality. If it was condensed (which I’m sure there’s a version) then it would be a 5. But with a few songs that didn’t quite hit, bouncing it back to a 4.
