Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

5/5

Great classic orchestral jazz! Clean and upbeat sound. Loved it!!

The Doors

5/5

A great album! Several great original classics I never get tired of hearing The Doors and Morrison were way ahead of the curve!

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

Good jazz! Coltrane and others are more appealing to me but I would listen again.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

5/5

Enjoyed this album! Blast from the past and diversity with some blues thrown in. Slick and Thomas on the vocals give them a great sound along with the guitar work for sure!!

Murmur

R.E.M.

5/5

Had never listened to this album. The more I listened the more I realized how much I like their music. Every bit as good as the later stuff that got a lot of radio play.Cutting edge but easy to listen to and appreciate for its musical creativity and integrity.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

1/5

West knows how to make good music and he is good at telling the stories we need to hear in our society. He seems disturbed most of the time and I really don't care for his extensive use of serious profanity and sexual matter. In fact I find it disgusting.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Enjoyed this album. Don't remember much of their music but no surprise they were a success. Relaxing.easy to listen to with similarities to Tears for Fears. Definitely groundbreaking for its time. Well done musicianship.

S&M

Metallica

4/5

Liked most of the songs on this album. Masters of the heavy metal sound. Orchestra adds to the experience.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

Never heard of this group. Good clean British sound from the 80s Not sure I'd listen again, not my cup of tea🤪

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

5/5

Very well done latin/Puerto Rican music! Both these artists are super accomplished musicians! I can definitely see why they've won so many awards! Loved listening to the beat and energy of a type of sound I have appreciated too little.love the trombone!!

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

5/5

Love Elvis Costellos sound. Could listen to him at great length while driving or just going through the day. Easy to listen to!

4/5

Soothing relaxing meditation music. Introspective

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

5/5

Great classic album! Roadhouse blues sets the pace for a great diverse showcase of Doors music. Morrison is greatly missed!!

McCartney

Paul McCartney

4/5

McCartney's first album on his own has several songs that are teasers of what is to come from him in later works. Truly enjoyed revisiting this album, which I have had on vinyl for some time.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Lots of good songs on this album. Quincy Jones influence very obvious here. Enjoyed listening to some of his early hits. Vocals are well done and easy to listen to. Loved listening to. No surprise Jackson rose to the heights he did before his tragic demise.

I like this album very much. Only heard a couple of songs that I had heard on the radio. One of those bands that actually has better stuff on the album.
