The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 06 2024

It was OK. More twangy and instrumental than I would have expected. I’d give it 3.5 stars. I might listen to this one again.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 07 2024

Not bad. I’d give this 3 stars.

Jan 08 2024

I really didn’t like this album. It was very repetitive and noisy. And I didn’t even listen to the explicit songs with expletives. I won’t be listening to anymore by this artist.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jan 09 2024

I quite enjoyed this. It kinda grew on me, and would consider listening to other albums by this band. I give this album 4 out of 5 stars.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 10 2024

It was nice enough background music. Very indie rock, and I quite enjoyed this. I would consider listening to other albums by this band. I give this album 3 out of 5 stars.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 11 2024

I had expected English vocal blues. Instead, the lyrics were in local language. I don’t like listening to vocal songs that are not in English. And the music was more R&B than blues. Still, the music was pretty good but I didn’t care for the songs where there was singing. I will give this album 2 stars.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Jan 12 2024

It’s very 60s rock. It was OK but nothing special. I would give it 2 stars.

Harvest by Neil Young
Jan 13 2024

It was OK, some tracks (such as Heart of Gold) better than others. It was short, being less than 40 minutes. I give it 3 stars.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jan 14 2024

It was pretty good. Some of the tracks I really liked but some had too much drums and sounded too noisy to me. I give it 3 stars.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jan 15 2024

Music was a little odd. Some tracks were OK but lyrics were not in English. 2 stars.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jan 16 2024

I used to own this album and do like it. It has You are the Sunshine of my Life and my favorite, Superstition. However, I don’t think it is his best album. That belongs to Songs in the Key of Life. Still, I give this 4 stars.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 17 2024

I used to like Costello when I was in England. I think I like his earlier stuff better than this album. But it’s not bad. I’ll give it 3 stars.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Jan 19 2024

I am not really into post-punk, and this album did not resonate at all. I gave this 2 stars (not 1 because a couple of the tracks were OK).

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 20 2024

I didn’t realize how much I like 60s music and I liked this album. It features Bad Moon Rising (twice, once a studio cut and the other a live version), a classic single. It also has some bluesy tracks. I give this 3.5 stars.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jan 21 2024

Surprisingly, I really liked this album. It had a diverse sound, ranging from soul to blues to jazz. I should listen to more of her music. I give this 4.5 stars.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 22 2024

Good album. I knew several of the songs from their greatest hits album. The others were good. I’d give this 4 stars.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jan 23 2024

I had never heard of this soul singer, but he was pretty good. I enjoyed this album mostly. 3 stars.

Jan 24 2024

This self-proclaimed new rave music is not my cup of tea. It sounded noisy and not pleasant; I give this 1 star.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 25 2024

This was an underwhelming album. No singles that I had heard of. Several of the tracks were long, with 60-90 seconds of faint speaking at the start (faint enough that I could not hear in the car). Not overly impressed, and the band folded after this album. I give it 2 stars.

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 26 2024

I recognized their single “Light My Fire” and some of the tracks were kinda OK. Give this 2.5 stars

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jan 27 2024

Nice album. I remember some of these tracks from my youth. Give this 3.5 stars.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jan 28 2024

Not that great. 2 stars.

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jan 29 2024

I read this was alternative country but it sounded more like alternative rock/pop to me. The sound is haunting and captivating. I really liked this. 4 stars.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 30 2024

I’ve heard several tracks from this album before. It’s a great album, and Simon’s acoustic guitar and soft vocals are compelling. I give this 4 stars.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Jan 31 2024

Really didn’t like this, which included several tracks of narration. I can only give this 1 star.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Feb 01 2024

This was really good. Most of it was classic R&B with a blues sound. I give this 4 stars.

Play by Moby
Feb 02 2024

I was surprised to find I enjoyed a lot of these tracks a lot. There were some instrumental and some electronic dance music. I would listen to more music by Moby. I give this 4 stars.

The Man Who by Travis
Feb 04 2024

Not a bad indie sound for this Scottish rock band from the late 90s. I give this 3 stars.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Feb 05 2024

Really disliked this album. First one that I started skipping tracks as they were grating on me. I give this 1 star.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 06 2024

Light pop, and the album includes Mr Blue Sky. What’s not to like. I give this 3 stars.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Feb 08 2024

I remember them from my youth. Was never thrilled with them then and not thrilled here. I give this 2 stars.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Feb 10 2024

This is a great album, classic jazz. It’s a little bit noisy for me to give it 5 stars but out worth 4 or 4.5. Coltrane is one of my favorite jazz greats.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 11 2024

Didn’t like this album. I give it 1 star.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Feb 13 2024

I love Miles Davis but this is a little too avant garde even for me. It’s a long double album. I give this 3.5.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Feb 14 2024

I didn’t like this album. I give it 1 star.

Feb 15 2024

It’s a good soul album, but I don’t like live albums. I will give us 3 stars. It would have been 4 if a studio album.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Feb 16 2024

I have not listened to much electronica music but this was pretty good. I could listen to more. I give this 3.5 stars.

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 17 2024

Didn’t like this. It sounded too noisy and raucous. I give this 1 star.

Vespertine by Björk
Feb 21 2024

Not bad. I give this 3 stars.

Feb 22 2024

I didn’t like this. Some of the songs were OK but several were in a foreign language and I didn’t like that. 2 stars.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Feb 23 2024

Very interesting album, with some different musical instruments. I liked the instrumental tracks the best. 3 stars.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Feb 24 2024

Not bad. I am not a country fan but I like this better than rap and some of the other albums I’ve heard. I will give this 2.5 stars.

All Directions by The Temptations
Feb 27 2024

What I did hear, I liked. I give this 3.5 stars.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 28 2024

I was surprised at how bluesy this sounded. I liked it. I give it 3.5 stars.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 02 2024

Good funk album from way back when. I give it 3.5 stars.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Mar 04 2024

It was surprisingly good, peaceful instrumental music that I could relax to. I give this 4 stars

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 05 2024

Not bad soul, but some tracks are a little long. I give this 3 stars.

Marquee Moon by Television
Mar 11 2024

Very forgettable album. Nothing stood out. I’d give it 2.5 stars.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Mar 12 2024

Good album with a couple of his hits but a little too much country. I give this 3 stars.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Mar 14 2024

Got a bluesy feel. Kinda liked most of the tracks. I give it 3 stars.

2112 by Rush
Mar 15 2024

Mar 22 2024

not impressed. It was just OK. I’d give it 2.5 stars.

Mar 23 2024

I was surprised by the amount of instrumental music on this album. I liked it a lot. I give it 4 stars.

Sea Change by Beck
Mar 25 2024

found it kinda dull and depressing but at least listenable. I’d give it 2.5 stars.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Mar 26 2024

Some great old fashioned jazz here. Really liked this. 4 stars.

War by U2
Mar 27 2024

Not overly impressed. I could take it or leave it. 2.5 stars.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 28 2024

Mostly instrumental but still not what I like. 2 stars.

Da Capo by Love
Apr 04 2024

Sounded very 60s. One track was very long, at over 12 minutes. Ok. I’d give it 2.5 stars

Gold by Ryan Adams
Apr 11 2024

Not bad. Very easy to listen to. I give it 3 stars.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Diamond Life by Sade
May 14 2024

What a great album! 5 stars.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
May 24 2024

Not bad. Some well known songs. But the songs went on too long and some were too rocky and not bluesy enough. I give this 3.5 stars.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
May 31 2024

Surprisingly good. Very upbeat and danceable. I give this 4 stars.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jun 13 2024
