All Ratings (953)

Fun old school hip hop

Not my cup of tea. I can see the appeal but not my taste.

How can you not like old school Aerosmith?

Hits and little knowns.

Classic Motown

Not my cup of tea. I do appreciate the talent specifically drums and bass. Definitely one of those you have to be in the right mood to listen and for me - I am never in that mood.

Great 70’s hits

I wouldn’t have played this on my own, thinking it wouldn’t be my type of music, but they actually liked it more than I thought I would.

Not a fan. Lead singers voice a little too high pitched for me

Loved it! Good background music while you’re getting stuff done

Knew more songs than I thought I would. Good grooving music.

Southern Rock, dated references. If not for his crazy political rants I’d listen more when in the mood for this genre.

Not my favorite of theirs. Only two hits

Eh. Scratchy

Fun

Southern rock, Chris Stapleton feel.

Great guitar / bass

Not available on Spotify

Wouldn’t seek out but wouldn’t balk if on

Throwback to my high school days

Liked the beat, not big on the lyrics

‘80’s Brit rock - felt more like an one hit wonder group

Good electronica / trance

Good background music

First change the album version to Taylor’s. Great pop songs mixed in with ballads.

Throwback to the 90’s hip hop poppy music

Folk - blue grass- country - she has a pretty voice but not my genres

Good head nodding rock

I opted to not listen. Not my favorite genre or “artist” so not wasting my time.

Of course beautiful soulful bluesy voice.

Was surprised to learn they aren’t a British 70’s punk group. Some head bopping tunes but overall not mine

Eh. Some electronic r&b feel but too long an album

Eh. Felt too long.

80’s rock at it’s finest

New wave- y.

Some hits … some misses…

Metal

Fun 80’s tunes

Good background music

Trance - electronica

Didn’t realize this was old as it is. Some big hits mixed with eh.

This is horrid. I can scream my lungs out too.

Classic Coltrane - great smooth jazz

Nice R & B with shades of reggae

One hit wonders and that one hit wasn’t on here

Good arena rock

Many hits several misses - great ‘80’s rock

Not into angry women singers

Devo-ish

Too much synth

Soothing jazzy, bluesy love songs

Abba doesn’t change much

Pretty voice

Fun world music

Recognized & liked one song,the rest were ok wouldn’t seek out

Not their greatest only two “hits” rest are unknowns and should stay that way

Not a fan. Reminds me of Bruce Springsteen and I don’t like him either. Personally don’t think gravely voices are good.
