Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

Mainly focuses on singing harmonies and dark lyrics. Amateur piano. Best piece is 1st tune “Care of cell 44” ( which has some surprising turns) and last tune “Time of the season “ which was the only one I had heard before. Grade: 3/5

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane

An album that starts a bit weak but improves. Part 2, 3 and 4 are strong. Would be fun to hear a modern recording of this one. Grade: 4/5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie

Glam-Bowie. It was adventurous for the age. In hindsight it is a bit raw, but a steppingstone on his amazing career. "Starman" and "It Ain't Easy" are the best tracks. Grade 3,5/5

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

Such a fun listen! Never fails to put me in a good mood. Grade: 4/5

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

I really liked this album. Grade: 5/5

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg

Hip Hop is nothing for me. The album itself is a little bit more melodic so I will give it a 2/5. Did not like it.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Started slow, but the album grew on me. I actually liked a few of the songs. Not my first choise of listening, but occationally good. Grade 3/5.

Dirt by Alice In Chains

Dirt is great. Many songs don't hit me as hard as they do for other people, but the ones that grab me are flawless. Grade: 4/5

Palo Congo by Sabu

Not my cup of tea. Grade: 1/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You by Aretha Franklin

Fantastic album. 4/5

MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana

This is not an album that I like. Very amateurish compositions and performance. I didn’t like it then and I still don’t like it. Grade: 1/5

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison

evermore by Taylor Swift

A totally forgettable singer-songwriter album. Will not listen again.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

Watermelon Man and Chameleon are classics. The two other sons are fillers. Grade: 4/5
