Songs In The Key Of Life
Stevie Wonder
I have not heard this album before but I know of Stevie Wonder’s existence. I recognized a few songs: Isn’t She Lovely, Sir Duke, and Pastime Paradise. Some songs that stood out to me for being catchy/likable were: I Wish and All Day Sucker. A song I could go without hearing again is Easy Goin’ Evening (My Mama’s Call). The songs in this album are on the longer side with many instrumentals. I think I would listen to this album again but I wouldn’t integrate it into my regular playlists as it’s not my ideal taste in music.

Is This It
The Strokes
I have not heard this album before and I only know of The Strokes by name. I was a bit apprehensive about listening as I thought their genre would be too left field for my taste but I was pleasantly surprised. I found myself liking all of their songs in some way. A few songs I would like to mention are: Barely Legal, Soma, and Alone, Together (which I really like the instrumental from). I would say my least favourite song on the album is the title track, Is This It. The songs are very short in length with primarily vocals and only a few guitar solos (which were good). I will definitely listen to this album again; I just have to find a playlist to put it in.

Kid A
Radiohead
I know of Radiohead but this album was not the sound I was expecting. Granted, the reviews say that this album marked a shift in their style, dropping from traditional rock music. It has an electronic sound with many instrumentals and eerie vocals. I did not enjoy this album as the vibes were sad and dystopian. Some tracks I did like the best were: How to Disappear Completely and Morning Bell. I think I’d listen to more of Radiohead’s earlier music as they were on my list to check out but definitely not listening to this album again.

Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix
I had not heard this album before but I’ve been waiting to listen to Jimi Hendrix. It sure does cover the sound of psychedelic rock. There weren’t a lot of songs that stood out to me in any way which makes me relate this album to background music. However, there were some songs I liked better than others. Those are: Fire, 51st Anniversary, and Red House. There’s nothing wrong with the album, just let down that it wasn’t revolutionary. I think I will listen to more of Jimi Hendrix just because he is so famous in the music pioneer world.

John Lennon
I have heard of this album before being a Beatles fan but I had not listened to it yet. I heard the song Imagine before and it is still my favourite off this album. I overall enjoyed all of the songs with just Oh Yoko! being the only meh song. My favorites other than Imagine were: Oh my love, How do you sleep?, and Jealous guy. I will definitely listen again!

I had never heard of this album or group. This isn’t really my taste in music so I wouldn’t intentionally put this on but I wouldn’t mind hearing it again as background music. I did actually recognize one song, Intro, which is an instrumental that is a popular audio. Some songs that stood out to me a bit more were: Infinity, Crystalised, and Night Time. There were songs, however, that I really didn’t like, those were: Fantasy, and Basic Space. I don’t think I will give this album another listen.

The Beach Boys
I have not listened to The Beach Boys yet but they sound exactly how I expected. I’m not so into the early rock n roll from the 60’s so none of the songs really stood out to me. The last track was just a conversation which I didn’t like (Bull session with “Big Daddy”). It wasn’t terrible so I will listen again if I had to but I would not intentionally put this album on.

Not many songs stood out to me as favorites so I’ll listen again to see if I like it more. Anyways I did like: Summertime Rolls, and Pigs in Zen. Thank you boys was only a one minute song so I regarded that as my skip song. They are hard rock so I can see myself getting into their music, will listen again!
