Another album that if you don't like you are not cool.....I am not cool!

The horns are the only thing that made this worth listening. They are also the only thing that made this a 2 and not a 1.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

I enjoyed the album way more than I thought I would. The long story was not my favorite....it could have been more tolerable without the drum.

1999

Prince

I am sure he is talented, but I could not tell at what on this album. 80's coke music....

Shalimar

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

I loved listening to this album. The cover of "summer breeze" is great. I had never listened to this album, but will again.

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Rush is one of the last bands of the 70's rock era. I enjoy most of Rush's stuff and this is no exception. The camera eye was my favorite.

Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

Not my favorite Neil Young album.....but a classic. Favorite Heart of Gold.

Da Capo

Love

2/5

Psychedelic rock is not my thing. I have never heard of this band before this. It was worth the listen, but will probably never listen to them again. Favorite song was Revolution....minus the screaming in the middle.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

2/5

Never heard of this group. It did not kill me to listen to this, but will never probably pull up again. Favorite was Some kind of Kink. One of the worst songs I have heard yet was The Rough and the Quick.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

I really enjoyed this album. It had been awhile since I heard this. My favs on this one are That was your Mother and All around the world. Not as high on my list as the S&G albums, but very good.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Listened to this album a lot when I was younger and enjoyed it. I think I liked it more then than now. Still a good album. Favorites Cosmic Dancer and Bang a Gong.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

4/5

I love this album. It was almost my first 5 rating. Parsons is great. My favs are You're still on my Mind, Life in Prison, and Hickory Wind. This album influenced many rock and country legends. I know a lot of people who do not like country rated this low and I get it. I think the Beatles doing this album would have been awesome.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

I Should Coco

Supergrass

2/5

I liked the 2nd half of the album way better than the 1st. They could have been a very good band if they were not so tied to the screaming punk stuff. The drummer is very good.
