1989

Taylor Swift

5/5

I now understand Taylor Swift’s appeal to her fans, especially young women. She is easy to listen to and upbeat. I am a fan now.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

I was surprised how much I enjoyed listening to this. At first I thought it was not for me, but the more I listened, the more I liked it. It certainly was good dance music. My toes were tapping.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

The Rolling Stones have never been my favorite band and I have been around a long time. I did enjoy the slower selections though.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

1/5

Not for me. I just cannot get into rap or hip-hop

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

I did not know what to expect, but I found myself mesmerized by the piano playing. I wish I could play this well. I was put off by the moans, but I thought maybe his left hand was aching from the constant movement. Great background music for reading.

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

The music was interesting, but the lead singers voice totally threw me off. Not for me.

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Good old rock band. Took me back years.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Loved it. Love Supertramp. Takes me way back in time.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

4/5

My experience with the Youngbloods was the song Get Together, so I was quite surprised by this album. I liked the keyboards. It seemed more of a jazzy album than rock. Good to just let roll in the background while doing work.

Debut

Björk

3/5

It was ok, I could take it or leave it. Music was repetitive. Seemed like good dance music.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

5/5

Music was mesmerizing! I loved it!

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Always liked Dire Straights. It was a treat to,listen to them again. Loved it!

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

First time listening to Thelonius Monk. Felt like I wanted a cigarette and a bourbon. Great music to let it waft over you. Thanks for sending this one.

Ray Of Light

Madonna

4/5

Strangely enough, I have never listened to a Madonna album. This was easy listening at its best.

On The Beach

Neil Young

2/5

Not for me. Neil Young’s voice grates to my ears.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

1/5

Just a lot of noise. I did not like any of the songs.

1989

Taylor Swift

5/5

I now understand Taylor Swift’s appeal to her fans, especially young women. She is easy to listen to and upbeat. I am a fan now.

Paul Simon

I have not heard Duncan in years. Great song! Paul Simon is just great! Interesting to hear demo version of Duncan and Me and Julio.

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

808 State

1/5

Could not find on Amazon Music

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

One of my favorite albums. It does not get old. Simon & Garfunkel at their best.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

I had never listened to Radiohead before, but I knew they were very popular. I really enjoyed listening. I guess this is why you listen to new music.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

A blast from the past! Loved listening to this. Loved reliving the disco beat!

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

Never listened to a solo George Harrison album before. I was familiar with My Sweet Lord, but not heard the others. Most were quite nice to listen to.

Konnichiwa

Skepta

2/5

Not for me. Initial Japanese music was nice, it this is just not for me.

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Just noise. Not a heavy metal fan.

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Likable music. Had never heard of Franz Ferdinand, which blew my grandson away.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Good listening. Ironic that I listened to the band when I was in college and my children listened to it 20 years later. Led Zeppelin is timeless.

Truth

Jeff Beck

4/5

Great bluesy guitar…especially loved version of .Ol Man River

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

I know I am in the minority, but I am not a big Who fan. I appreciate the musicality and really like some of their songs, but they are really not for me.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

3/5

My initial reaction to this selection was “oh no” but I rather enjoyed it. It was not something I would have picked, but it was decent.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

4/5

I really liked the album. It was the music. The lead singer was kind of annoying. I would definitely listen to this again.
