...And Justice For All

Metallica

1/5

Too monotonous for me, the guitar/drum/bass synchronous drive overlaid by the harsh vocals was headache inducing.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

1/5

Not a fan…songs sound alike and Lemmie’s voice is just not for me.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

1/5

2 good songs I could listen to in regular rotation, but only this acoustic version. The balance of the album is dark and morose and very much not my taste.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

2/5

Moody Blues/Pink Floyd influencer.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

Moody Blues/Pink Floyd influencer.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Excellent album. Will pick up on vinyl

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

3/5

Not horrible…punked out Tom Petty. Won’t likely buy it but wouldn’t change station if songs on the radio.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Excellent record, some great remakes and many great originals. The “strolling” piano notes and tempo are not my thing but overall the record is strong.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

Very interesting…not a fan at all of the vocal pieces but the instruments are strong and varied in some cool ways! Strings, horns, banjo…love it all.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Really nice record. Love the covers of some great songs! Solid guitars, cool R&B tunes for an evening playlist.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Ok album, a bit of the psychedelic sounds. Huge guitars, iconic. But not my groove overall.

Maxinquaye

Tricky

1/5

Not my thing, explicit language only added to my low appreciation.

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

1/5

Really not my interest...

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

Forgot how good this album is. Need to buy it on vinyl for the collection. A good one.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Decent record. Have not been a CSNY fan, group or solo. But Stills is a good listen.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

2/5

A bit James Bond sounding, psychedelic tones and some wild lyrics. Par for the time...

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

4/5

Solid! Love the fusion of sounds, good chill/hangout music. Long time Steely Day fan.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

5/5

Excellent

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Excellent album!

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

1/5

Not my style

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

Never been a Dylan fan based on later years sound. This one is terrific!

Stephen Stills

3/5

Solid. Not a big CSNY fan but this I enjoyed.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Excellent record! Had it on CD years ago. Need to add the vinyl.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

1/5

Nope…

Play

Moby

3/5

Some cool chill background music and some interesting blues takes. Would listen again.

Django Django

1/5

Sounded like soundtrack to kids cartoon or a video game background.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

1/5

Nope, musical-sounding songs. Broadway perhaps?

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Great record!

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

1/5

Oh no…old country is not for me at all. Do not like the instrumentation, the harmonies, the beat. Nothing about it is enjoyable to me.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

2/5

Not terrible…could listen to 3-4 songs if I heard them on a playlist or XM.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

Like this one, great sound and varied instruments. Love Winwood’s vocals.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

3/5

Interesting. Might buy this on vinyl, cool vibe.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

1/5

Bobby Axelrod from the show Billions was a big Metallica fan…that character’s personality rubs me the wrong way just like Metallica’s music. I just cannot find anything good about their music. It is just intolerable to my taste.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

2/5

A little too old-school jazz. Ok for background but not one to focus listening ear.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

1/5

Closest I can get to this is Sirius by The Alan Parsons Project…

Face to Face

The Kinks

2/5

Beatles, Stones, Dylan all appear to be influencers of this record. Good but not one I’d buy or put on a playlist. Not a big fan of Ray Davies’s voice.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

1/5

Not a go…just not my style at all. Much of it sounded like tools banging together.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

Oddly some songs were really bad while a few were decent. I didn’t think I’d like any of them at all.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

I enjoyed this way more than expected. My best friend loves this band so I was glad to check this out. Pretty good.
