Let's Stay Together
Al Green
Pretty good chill songs. Very smooth. Haven't heard this before, except for the hits, and it is pretty nice. Not sure if I would see myself sitting around and listening to this but if it was on I wouldn't be upset.

The Cure
Really good album that I have heard many times. This was the "smart kid" music back in the day. The deep kids would listen to this and think they were smarter than everyone else and that no one understood them. I'm sure the same thing happens these days with different bands. It's a great album that I will listen to many more times and remember how normal and boring of a kid I was.

Not bad, I've heard the hits from this album but never the whole thing. It's pretty good, the non hit songs are more of the same kind of pop music but it isn't tiring and has a catchy beat. Not sure I would go out of my way to listen to this again but it is not bad at all. If I happened upon it I wouldn't be upset.

The Who Sell Out
The Who
When I saw it was an album from The Who I was kind of excited, but unfortunately this album is super juvenal with simple beats and riffs that are not catchy or fun to listen to. Seems like a lazy album made by some guys who were to high to care what they were doing. Hopefully I never hear this again.

Very good jazz piano, it's pretty chilled out. Nice beats perfect for background listening at work or some time you want to relax. I'm sure that I will be listening to this one again when the mood hits.

Not bad Neil Young. I'm not a huge fan of his work but this album is pretty good, it has a few big hits and some other nice songs. Makes me feel kind of smart listening to this.

Great album that was a staple of my youth. This really propelled hip hop into the massive genre it is now. This album was very controversial when it came out with many pearl clutchers freaking out over "Fuck the Police". I'm sure that I will listen to this again even though I probably won't seek it out it's still a great album and I think it's historic too.

I'm not a huge punk fan but this is not terrible. It's not too wall of fuzz sounding as some punk can be. The singing is not terrible either, I'm sure there is a great punk type message there if I looked at the lyrics. Not bad but I probably don't need to listen to it again.

Classis Simon and Garfunkel album. Plenty of hit songs and great harmonies. Very chilled out and easy to listen to with a pleasant folk vibe. I really like this album and the rest of their work together. I'm sure I will be listening to this one many more times.

Really good album that I have never heard before, only a few hit songs. It's something that I will definitely listen to again, kind of chill folk music. "River" is my favorite song on the album reminds me of times past, very contemplative. I'm sure I will listen to this again.

Even though I'm not a huge punk fan, this is not bad. It was probably super innovative back in the day. A really nice raw aggressive and emotional outpouring of music. Don't think I need to hear this again but I'm glad I heard it.

Great album! I remember my older sister listening to this and I thought it was the heaviest music I could imagine. There couldn't possibly be anything heavier, this was it. Obviously I was wrong but I still like the album and think that it rocks. It flashes me back to thinking about how cool my sister was listening to this super heavy music.

Great album, I really enjoyed listening to it. Never heard it before and I'm not very familiar with west African music so I don't have a lot of experience but the beats are great and it has a nice chill vibe. I would listen to this again at work or as a chilled out background.

Great album, very chill vibe obviously. I have heard some of his songs but never the whole album. If you like reggae then you have probably heard of him and if not give it a listen. Definitely makes me want to smoke some ganja.

Great dance album. I've heard it several times before this, it's pretty popular. Very groovy with nice beats but it's different from other edm, hard to describe. I'm sure I will be listening to this many more times. I think it's a classic and sonically very interesting.

Not bad, lots of classic Stones music. I've just heard it so much and it is such a part of pop culture that I don't need to hear it anymore. It's great but I will hear it just by living in our current society. Once again, no complaints about the music, it's good. It's just overplayed everywhere.

Reminds me very much of being a teenager in the 90s. This was very popular back then. It has a lot of great songs and I really enjoy it. Sort of a unique type of band, nothing is quite like them. I enjoy it and will listen to it many more times.

This album is really different, not in a bad way. I have never heard of this band it's sort of hard to describe but maybe early rock or blues rock, maybe rockabilly? It's got some nice grooves and interesting lyrics/singing. I'm not sure that I would go out of my way to listen to it but I'm not sorry I heard it.

Love this album although I've heard it many times it never gets old. Great guitar work, excellent lyrics and vocals, it really clicks for me. Also brings back memories of this guy I used to know Dallas who worked at a sheet metal shop with me, he was super cool and loved Boston. Whenever I mentioned any other band to him he would inevitably compare them to Boston.

The Downward Spiral
Nine Inch Nails
I grew up listening to this album and I think it is near perfect. Trent's study of the downfall of this no named individual is nothing short of genius. It was a staple of the 90's with Trent being a legendary musician. Several major hit songs but the other tracks are great too and contribute to the overall story of the album. It's great and I'm sure that I will listen to this many more times.

I remember listening to this album in my apartment in Lawrence Kansas. It was my sophomore year at KU and my friend and I would listen to this album and smoke cannabis. It was really good times, I can almost smell the incense that we would use to cover up the smell from my neighbors. Lots of good memories around this album. It's unfortunate that all three of them appear to be less than stellar individuals, the music is still great though.

I know he is legendary and all that but I just don't like his style of singing. It seems kind of talk singing that is not appealing to me. I'm not sorry I listened to this but I don't need to hear it again.

They are very skilled rappers with great flow, what's not to like?
