All Ratings
Fleet Foxes
4/5
Easy listening. Clear vocals. Progressive folk sound. Kind of a cross between Grateful Dead and String Cheese Incident. Worth vinyl purchase.
Miles Davis
5/5
If you like cool jazz, jazz fusion, nobody does it better than Miles Davis. Perfect early evening listening music.
Talking Heads
4/5
Talking Heads always deliver interesting rhythm, this album is no exception. Very creative but at times monotonous.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
For Led Zeppelin this album is a switch from the heavy R&B sound to a more acoustic set. Nevertheless, it's still classic Zeppelin. Great lyrics, vocals, and acoustical guitar work.
Eminem
2/5
Traffic
4/5
Easy listening. A progressive jazz-rock fusion with one very folk rock song, 'John Barleycorn Must Die'.
Aretha Franklin
5/5
The one and only Queen of Soul fully on display. This album just can't be beat.
Fela Kuti
3/5
3/5
Dinosaur Jr.
4/5
I never heard of this group and based on what I read before listening didn't think this was going to take long. What a surprise, I really enjoyed it. Each song was unique. The only song I could pass on was "Don't", but even that noisy song had some appeal.
Grateful Dead
5/5
One of my favorite St Stepen renditions.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
5/5
Poems set to music. Unique harmonies that scream classic CSN.
Garbage
4/5
It's the music that saved us from "big hair bands". Raw at times but nonetheless great grunge. Worth it.
Boards of Canada
2/5
Dated, yes. Boring and sophomoric in nature. Kraftwerk, a German group had it right two decades earlier.
Suede
4/5
Kind of a surprise like. Definitely has that British pop sound. The lead vocal can at times sound monotonous.
Elton John
5/5
I don't think there is a better Elton John album out there. A masterpiece.
Violent Femmes
3/5
Ho-hum. Monotonous sound.
James Brown
4/5
Love the live sound. Spirited, full of life. Truly the Godfather of Soul.
The Beach Boys
3/5
A clear commentary on the late 1960's. Kind of a forced collection of songs to reflect on social and environmental issues. Not the cheery songs one would expect from the Beach Boys. Even the album cover is a downer.
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
4/5
Great hip-hop. Enjoyed.
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
The White Stripes
3/5
A little repetitious for my liking. Makes good background music.

If you enjoy ever other word being f**ker, motherf**ker, or nigger, then this album is for you. Not me.
Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye has a beautiful voice and this album truly highlights it. Easy to listen, enjoyable from beginning to end.

Kanye West
4/5
I'm not a fan of rap but I have to say this album did connect. Most rap are words spoken (or some verbal means) with plenty of profanity to a beat. This album had all that but also had musical sense.

Sepultura

The precision of their music is like at times listening to a metronome. Then comes the lead vocal who I'm sure doesn't know what he is saying. It's too bad that the musicality is spoiled by the lead singer...or more like screamer.

This is the first time I have listened to an entire Arcade Fire album at one sitting, and I can say I enjoyed every track. For not really knowing them, this was an eye-opener. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) very haunting piece but my fav. Putting this one on my add to vinyl collection list.

Shouting, heavy drums/bass lines, and attemped guitar solos sums up this album.
