Boston by Boston
Jan 05 2024

Enjoy every song on album!

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jan 08 2024

Didn’t really listen to The Who in younger years but a few of their songs I really enjoyed and recognized. Good live album and definitely has the rock/band sound of 70’s for teen youth.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jan 09 2024

Not so much a music album, more like talking style poetic lyrics. Songs out of tune really because it came across more like talking vs singing.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jan 10 2024

Good album, fun songs to listen to. Blonde is a category all on her own & band is great!

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jan 11 2024

Good album to listen to when doing chores. Most of the songs are hard to sit still for.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jan 12 2024

Vocals sound a lot like Willie Nelson but music has a more bluesy undertone.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Jan 17 2024

4+ First time hearing this album and really like DW’s singing style and the different music notes on this Album.

Da Capo by Love
Jan 18 2024

Last song on album good because it’s most instrumental.

Being There by Wilco
Jan 19 2024

Contemplative, reflective album

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 22 2024

Too many recordings on this album. No lyrics, only statements to a good beat. What comes to mind is singer had a hard, troubled, unhappy life. Not an album a parent, grandparent, brother or sister would be bragging about.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jan 23 2024

A unique individual and such a distinct voice. An icon.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Jan 24 2024

Rock/Techno sound

Truth And Soul by Fishbone

As Austin Powers would say…”yeah baby”

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Feb 21 2024

So great that I got to hear this album! The cover is deceiving as I wasn’t sure what to expect. The music and lyrics are very mellow and flow very easily.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 23 2024

Classic Rock ‘n Roll band. Had no idea all these great songs were on 1 album.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Feb 28 2024

Lyrics are a bit of a downer, melancholy-ish. Music sounds like it could be (maybe is), in the background of few movies.

Feb 29 2024

Great techno-type sound, very little lyrics. Good for movie soundtracks, exercise workouts, dance clubs.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Mar 01 2024

Not a fan of this style of singing. This is more talking-style and some notes sounded off. Definitely times of the 70’s, but not rock-n-roll.

Harvest by Neil Young

Neil Young has such a distinct voice. Few iconic 70’s songs on the album that never age.

Green by R.E.M.

Techno dance club type album, not very many lyrics. Last song has notes of middle eastern music.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Apr 11 2024

One of the greatest theme tracks, like how the album begins and ends with theme track. Album has great music notes on all tracks except song 10, that one didn’t fit the music style for this album.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Apr 12 2024

Album cover doesn’t match the type of music that comes to mind. Each song is so different, middle eastern notes, Indian, a few tracks that sound a bit rappish.

Arrival by ABBA
Apr 15 2024

There’s no other band like ABBA. Such pure music.

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 16 2024
