not my cup of tea. OK music, but the vocals are screaming and everything sounds repetitive

doesn't work for me

all sounds the same

this is a country/folk album. Mostly generic folk type songs. There were a couple of rock sounding songs that were OK

Love this album! I was just listening to it a few days ago.

Classic Talking Heads. had a few songs I recognized. Not bad but I don't know if I would go looking for it

Classic rock with Janis Joplin. Awesome stuff. Thanks for reminding me about this.

OK stuff, but seems pretty generic

typical Joni Mitchell - not bad but boring. Sounds like Joan Armitrading

not bad, but nothing exceptional. I'd listen to it again

typical old Neil Young stuff. Not bad, but kinda boring

I've never heard of these guys before, but I like them.

bleh

Interesting to hear sings from this group other than When I Die & Spinning Wheel. The other stuff isn't too bad. I never was big fan and this won't convert me, but it improved my impression of this group.

60's heartthrob (Teenager in Love). Album released in 2001. Not bad - I didn't mind listening to it for a while, but bland. The songs all sound the same

not a bad album. I'd listen to it again

afro Cuban rhythm stuff. Not bad but I got tired of it

sounds like disco to me

This is pretty good shit. I'd definitely listen to it again.

couldn't find this specific album, but I found another one from 1979. It is old school punk stuff. OK, but not exciting

pretty nice stuff, for the most part. I'd listen to it again but nothing good enough to make my favorites list

kinda like Elvis Costello. I like it. Would listen to more

funny idea for an album and many of the songs, but the music just doesn't do anything for me.

generic 90s grunge. Some of it is OK but I gave up after a while

OK stuff, I didn't object to it

80s synth music. Not objectionable but there are better things to listen to

classic John Lennon. Good stuff!

original Doors, awesome!

George Clinton. Interesting, but I'm not sure how much I can take

good stuff

Protest music. Some soul, some reggae. Not bad

mellow pop music. nice listening!

not bad, but there is a reason why I've never heard any of these songs

mostly instrumental, mellow music. pretty nice for the most part

not bad stuff. could listen to more.

bleh. Not bad but didn't do anything for me. gave up on the 3rd song

awesome

mellow, reminds me of Joni Mitchell only better

classic Dylan!

awesome

decent 90's grunge

Decent Rock. I like it.

good shit (mostly)! a couple of non interesting ones, but mostly good stuff.

mellow pop, classical female vocals. not too bad

awesome classic blues

It's a classic. not bad

not bad for background music, but not something I'd pick to listen to every day

OK stuff, but ....

Better than I expected!

classical (sinatra) woman singer. pretty good

good shit

old, non-descript punk

classic!

OK stuff.

decent stuff

decent, not too bad

rap..

good dstuff

good old stuff. 4 stars

OK... Not hip hop, but a little to close for my preferences 2 stars

OK, but repetitive

boring

too much baby talk!

released in the 80's but sounds like 60s music to me

surprisingly not too bad if you listen to it for a while. The songs are all very short

ok, but too country

OK stuff. 3 stars

not bad 4 stars

somebody too much naval gazing

old school punk, like Garbage. Decent stuff

kinda screechy

decent folk music, nothing exceptional

songs start OK but soon become very repetitive

nice, but repetitive

surprisingly good!

nice stuff. good background music.

pretty much Steely Dan. Not bod but not exciting

not bad, decent female vocalist. Probably need to listen to the lyrics in detail to really appreciate

not my cup of tea. OK music, but the vocals are screaming and everything sounds repetitive

not bad

doesn't work for me

Classic Elvis. Only a few tunes that I recognized

Good Bob Dylan. Only one song I might have heard before

too much new age

too much big band

discordant!

Abba, but boring

many (most?) of Randy's most well known songs. Didn't discover any new ones

not bad, not too inspiring either

not bad. I like this stuff

good stuff, but greatest hits. I changed and listened to Veni Vidi Vicious (one of the albums the songs here were taken from)

nice. Reminds me of Boomtown Rats

not bad, reminds me of early punk

can only take this in small doses, not a whole album

not bad for Capt Beefheart!

Sounded like a poorly recorded garage band

pretty good

Nice

lots of covers of random old songs

There is a reason why I’ve never heard of this album before. Because it isn’t any good

good stuff!

Ok, but not something I would listen to for itself. I could tolerate it for background music

not opera, but too close for me

arabic music - not my style

some good stuff, some screechy stuff

Sounded a little rough

Not as good as I thought it would be

Better than I thought it would be

Probably not bad if I was alone with a woman but I’m not so ……

Hard rock but not too bad

Boring…

This is good stuff! Good music to concentrate by or program to

too hard core for me

Not bad

it is Steve Winwood. Not bad, but it gets repetitive

Ok but it’s jazz

Beach Boys repetitions

Not bad. Nice and mellow. Reminds me of Chris Rea.

Old beach boys makes it palatable

Noisy

Reminds me of Iron Butterfly. Nice but not too exciting

Nice mellow music

Catchy in small doses

Not. Ad

Pretty nice!

If you want to listen to the Mamas and the Papas, this is the album to listen to

I guess it’s ok if you like Joni Mitchell. I don’t

Despite my great memories of this album, the music is boring.

Not bad, but non descript 60s music

drum & bass

sounds annoying

OK, but not exciting

Seemed like a poor quality recording

Not bad, but didn’t strike me. Very mellow

Not bad. Much better than expected

decent

pretty good

not bad, but didn't do anything for me

mostly new age jazz with no music

Pretty punk!

really nice stuff, especially for Irish music

Not blues, but not too bad for African music

Ok stuff, not bad

Electronica, drum and bass

He has some good stuff but this isn’t it

Not bad, mellow

Not bad mostly instrumental, but I doubt I’ll listen to it again

Not bad, but a little too raunchy for me. Some good stuff there

OK music, didn't care for the vocals

nice, mellow music. good stuff

surprisingly not bad

ok instrumentals

Ok but after a bit it all sounds the same

a little too metal for my tastes

Yeah, Sting can do syncopation

all sounds the same

surprisingly good for EDM

I’d rather gaze at my shoes

It all sounds the same to me

punk!

surprisingly good. I want to hear more

for sentimental reasons....

yes, it was strange. Too weird for me

I'm surprised how much I liked this

Didn’t do anything for me

Uninspiring

I could listen to more of this

The vocals sound like old David Bowie. Not bad stuff
