Very Good album. A collection of his ballads with a message. Very simple lyrics and always a great hook. I enjoyed this ver much.

5/5

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

A very good album. Such a shame this young man left us so early. His Music still holds up today.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

1/5

I didn't like this album. The music was too simplistic, and the lyrics were not very captivating.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

2/5

This album was pretty good as a background play list. Smooth and melodic.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

4/5

A really cool album. Billie has such a smooth voice, and her songs are great.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

5/5

An exceptional album by the great singer/writer Willie Nelson. It highlights the clarity of his unique sound, love by many. A great collection of classic songs, performed brilliantly.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

3/5

A good, low-key music album. I heard his blues influences, as well as his easy listening lyrics.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

1/5

Im not a huge Hendrix fan, and this album illustrates why. Although his guitar skills cannot be questioned, his composition can. Many of these tracks are compilations of wild, and unattached riffs. While many on their own are great, these tracks do not carry a melody. Sounds like random riffs strung together.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

4/5

Very nice album. I particularly liked Birdland. The melodies were tight, and well balanced.

Arular

M.I.A.

1/5

Not a fan of this album. I'll admit to steering away from rap. I can't follow the lyris, as they are often disjointed. The beat and melodies in this album are too simple to be interesting.

Bossanova

Pixies

1/5

Pretty basic background music.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

I really enjoyed this album. I've heard many of the songs over the years, but not all. It was a great album.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Easy listening at its finest. Some classic tunes, sung with incomparable harmonies. What a great collaboration. Im a big fan of Paul Simon. But I don't think he would have ever been what he has become without Art Garfunkel.

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

1/5

Not bad background music. Fairly good beat. Nothing on the album caught my ear, as the vocals were lacking.

The United States Of America

1/5

I'm pretty sure I know why this band only had one album. Experimental music, that failed. Horrible album.
