Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

I enjoyed the album Head Hunters. I am motivated to listen to more of Herbie Hancock’s music. What a musical genius!

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

3/5

Though the it is a classic rock album, I found the original version to be rough as far as the mixing and sound engineering goes. I listened to a remixed version of the album and enjoyed it. There are several classic tracks on the album.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

I have been listening to Wish You Were Here for forty plus years. It is a great album! Just in the past few years I have learned that Roy Harper did the vocals for Have A Cigar.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

A very psychedelic album by Cream! Some of the more popular songs I had heard. Even Clapton seemed to have been experimenting a little bit! Over all I enjoyed the album.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

I found the album very psychedelic and unique. The band consisted of some very talented musicians, who didn’t play their instruments in a traditional rock and roll fashion.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

One of my favorite rock albums of all time! I wore out a copy or two when I was younger. The guitar solo on Comfortably Numb is one of my favorites. David Gilmore is a fantastic player and has been one of my favorite players for a quite some time.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

2/5

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

I enjoyed listening to the Talking Heads album. It has me interested in hearing more from the Talking Heads.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

I really enjoyed listening to this album. I learned a lot about Otis Redding. For example, I didn’t know he wrote Respect.

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

2/5

I recognize the talent,but it is not my cup of tea.

G. Love & Special Sauce

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

2/5

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

3/5

Worth another listen

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

3/5

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

The album Rio reminds me of being a young man. A good friend introduced me to new wave in the early eighties. Rio by Duran Duran was one of those albums. It was a fun listen!

Rocks

Aerosmith

3/5

A classic rock and roll album.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

2/5

Doolittle

Pixies

2/5

Brutal Youth

I listened to the album twice yesterday and the second time was a charm. I was hooked! Elvis Costello is both unique and talented. He has a new fan!

Great album! The Police were so creative and innovative! I enjoyed listening to the album when I was younger and still enjoy listening to it now.

Closer

Joy Division

3/5

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

The album Tapestry by Carole King reminded me of being a kid and listening to AM radio. Several of the songs were played on the radio, back in the day. I enjoyed listening to the album.

CHVRCHES

2/5

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

2/5

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Off the Wall is such a great R&B album! Quincy Jones showed his genius and talent and Michael Jackson did the same.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

3/5

The Band

4/5

I enjoyed listening to the album. A real classic Rock And Roll album. Great writing in the Band.

War

5/5

I love the music of early U2. I think the War album was a classic. Not only the big hits like Sunday Bloody Sunday, some of the less known ones such as Seconds as well.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

I have a ton of respect for Neil Young as a songwriter and acoustic guitar player. I don’t care to listen to him play electric guitar.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

2/5

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

4/5

As a young man I heard some of Gary Numan on the radio, but never listened to the album. I really enjoyed listening to the album and plan to listen to it again. The synthesizers are spacey and tasty.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down

3/5

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

An album packed with energy and memories. First album with Brian Johnson and he did well. I remember seeing the band when they toured for the Back in Black album. I couldn’t hear for days afterwards!

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Despite not being a big Dolly Parton fan I listen to the album. I enjoyed Early Morning Breeze and the title track Coat of many colors. I can see why this is considered a classic Dolly Parton album.

The Next Day

David Bowie

2/5

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

This live album has so much energy! I think Cheap Trick takes it to another level when there playing live.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Jimi Hendrix was a creative genius and Electric Ladyland was his Magnum Opus. On the album he had tight concise songs like Crosstown Traffic and a cover of Bob Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower. Then he had songs like 1983 where he appeared like he was just letting his creative juices flow.
