1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 10 2024
Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 12 2024
Manassas by Stephen Stills
Feb 07 2024
Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Feb 19 2024

Interesting. I liked a lot of it but some of it was a little repetitive. Very ethereal.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Feb 20 2024

I enjoyed some of it but not enough of it to rate it higher. I like the slower emo tunes, not so much the 'rap-ier' ones.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Feb 21 2024

I like the sound. Wouldn't buy it but wouldn't mind listening again.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Feb 23 2024

I can see the appeal, I'm just not into New Wave.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 26 2024

My husband loves this album. I'm not a Jimi Hendrix fan so I'm rating it lower. My nerves don't like the kind of electric guitar Jimi plays but I understand that he's very good on the guitar.

Third by Soft Machine
Feb 28 2024

I had never heard of Soft Machine and I like to try to have an open mind with music. This sounded like a cacophony to me, not the kind of jazz that I like.

Mar 06 2024

Gotta love Rod Stewart and this was one of his best from that era. It was an 8-track tape you had to have.

Mar 07 2024

I like Tom Waits. Fun to listen to. Not great for work listening though. Can't listen to his commentary in between the songs.

Hms Fable by Shack
Mar 08 2024

Another new artist for me. This was 'ok.' Doubt I would listen again. Nothing grabbed me about it.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Mar 11 2024

Although I'm not a huge Johnny Cash fan, you've got to love this album. I love the under his breath comments he makes to the prisoners, you can tell he understands where they are.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 12 2024

I didn't realize how many of these songs I know. Enjoyed listening to this with the exception of one or two of the songs which were a little to cacophonous for me.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Mar 15 2024

kd lang has a beautiful voice. This album was 'ok' not one of her best but I still like to hear her.

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 18 2024

This isn't my usual style to listen to but I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. This surprises me. Interesting combination of styles of music and it makes sense that it's '90s, sounds like it.

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 19 2024

Ummm, actually liked this better than I thought I would. I doubt I would ever listen to it again, not a fan of electronic pop, but it didn't run me out of the room like some bands. I was impressed by the quality of the sound, very rich.

Timeless by Goldie
Mar 20 2024

I'd never listened to Goldie before. I like the ethereal parts of this artist. Didn't like the heavy beat of one or two of the songs, but overall, nice.

Synchronicity by The Police
Mar 21 2024

Discordant sounds. Grungy, punky. Every Breath You Take & Wrapped Around Your Finger are good ones. Mostly disliked the first part of the album, liked the rest.

Mar 22 2024

Nope. Punk is not for me. I just don't get the interest. But that's me, I'm not the right generation for this music. Tried to listen to the whole thing, but, no.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 25 2024

Great album! It isn't often you like an entire record but that applies in this case. Great lyrics, great tunes.

My Generation by The Who
Mar 26 2024

Never been a big fan of The Who. I liked Tommy and some of their bigger hits. This album had a couple songs I knew and liked but the album overall didn't grab me.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Mar 28 2024

I love the variety of this album. Good listening.

Apr 02 2024

Hmmm. I almost didn't listen to this one. I'm 68. Wu-Tang Clan? But I actually liked it better than I thought I would. I don't like the lyrics or the violence but the sound and the beat were both good. I was bobbing my head, so, yeah, ok.

Apr 03 2024

Once again, not my preferred style. Sounded off-key and grating but I think that's the point.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 08 2024

One of my all time favorites. This was the soundtrack to my high school days. Still own the vinyl from back then.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Apr 24 2024

Just ok for me, nothing stood out.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Apr 25 2024

Interesting mix of reggae and jazz. I'd listen again.

Parklife by Blur
Jun 13 2025

Not bad but not my preference in music. But not annoying either.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 16 2025

A lot of the songs just sound the same. I didn't listen closely enough to the lyrics which likely would have affected my view of the album. As it is, I like the sound, couldn't listen to a lot of it at once though.
