Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jan 08 2024

I enjoyed a few songs, but most of the album wasn't my style. Prince is a brilliant song writer, but this album didn't showcase that, in my opinion.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 09 2024

This is a better Prince album, in my opinion. It reminds me of the late 80s.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 10 2024

I enjoyed the second half of this album more than the first half. Sometimes I was reminded of the Talking Heads or Mumford and Sons. Not bad.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jan 12 2024

I was surprised at the musicality of this metal album. Some of the guitar sounded melodic and bluesy, not something I expected from Black Sabbath. I especially liked Planet Caravan.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 15 2024

Everything about this album makes me happy, from the title, to the songs, to the artistry. Miles Davis was a master at his craft and a forerunner in jazz trumpet. Smooth.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 16 2024

What a unique voice. Her style and sound were so varied, that I thought she had several different guest artists at first. At times she sounded like Chet Baker and at others like Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane. I was excited to read that she played the piano, as well. Overall an interesting listen, but I probably won't listen again.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 17 2024

The songwriting and music on this album sound high quality. I just don't care for the talk-singing style. Maybe that's an unpopular opinion, since it's Leonard Cohen, but I just can't get into it.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jan 18 2024

Meh. That's all I have to say about that.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 19 2024

Reggae sounds light and easy even when dealing with the heaviness of politics. I enjoyed this and recognized several of the songs from pop culture. This sounded like a summer day.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 22 2024

I don't need this. I'm sure Dr. Dre made a difference in music culture with this album, but I can do without all the foul language. Not my style.

Jan 26 2024

I like Genesis, and this album is interesting. The instrumentation is first rate, but I think they may have tried too hard to be creative and different. Maybe drugs played a part. That said, I still enjoyed many of the songs, particularly on the second half of this double album.

Low by David Bowie
Jan 29 2024
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 30 2024
Quiet Life by Japan
Feb 01 2024

This album reminded me of Gary Numan at times, and I liked the music. It was very repetitive though.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Feb 05 2024

Nah. I felt this didn't showcase Ozzy's unique sound, and the songs were just plain boring.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 06 2024

Americana at its finest. This album is full of songs that I sang along with in highschool, so it holds a lot of memories. Although Bruce Springsteen doesn't have the best singing voice, I feel like his songwriting and lyrics make up for that. His music make me feel something inside that's hard to explain, maybe nostalgia, maybe pride or longing, but I think that's why I like it.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Feb 13 2024

Harry reminds me of Billy Joel in his songwriting and vocals. He has some classics on here that I enjoyed.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Feb 16 2024

This was fun! It was unique and varied. Some of the sound quality was poor, kind of buzzy or distorted, but I enjoyed the 1970s Bollywood sound.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Feb 22 2024
Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Feb 23 2024

😍 Fabulous! So moody and evocative.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 27 2024

A classic that never gets old.

Mask by Bauhaus
Feb 28 2024
The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Feb 29 2024
Chelsea Girl by Nico
Mar 13 2024

Interesting voice. The first song caught my ear, because her singing style is so different, but then all the songs after that sounded too similar. Meh.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Apr 04 2024

❤️ I guess I'm a Swiftie now.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
May 17 2024

This guy can't really sing, but I still love it. The lyrics are interesting and catchy and I laughed out loud more than once.
