Mott by Mott The Hoople

Always a fan of this group!! Not an album I had heard ..Loved it!

I Really liked the lyrics and the beat box sound and music and was pleasantly surprised that it was not "Rap" music...but the spoken word parts were like poetry...it was beautiful.....<3

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders

An older and a goodie! It transcends time. I love it!

Butterfly by Mariah Carey

Incredible voice and lyrics…Always!!

Doolittle by Pixies

Awful noise….Just no…

Is This It by The Strokes
Jan 09 2024

I loved punk rock in the 80’s but this I found the lyrics boring as well as the music itself

Jan 10 2024

I loved this albumn!! Rich tones, delightful melodies and great lyrics. I’d forgotten that I’d heard them in the past and was Most Grateful to reconnect with their music!!

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 11 2024

Sorry, not sorry but not a fan…. I felt yelled at… and please understand I loved punk rock in the 80’s… but this just was just not something I enjoyed. I listened to 3 songs… I couldn’t take any more…

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 12 2024

Love ❤️ this whole album!! Every sing is a Gem 💎!!

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jan 13 2024

I love ❤️ listening to the Stones… they’re Great in concert according to friends( I’ve never been). This is an earlier album and I feel they were desperately trying to “Americanize” their music…

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jan 14 2024

Did not like this at All… grated on my nerves and created anxiety

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jan 16 2024

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!! Ella Fitzgerald could sing the phone book and it would be Epic!! A voice of the Ages!! George Gershwin was an Incredible song writing Genius!! Hearing Ella sing his works was A Breath of Fresh Air…. I would give it 10 or 20 stars!!⭐️ Musical 🎶 Theater at its Finest!!

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jan 17 2024

I liked it, not loved it but the music and lyrics were rich and full and I enjoyed most of the rhythms. I would've given it 5 stars but after 1/2 of the album it started feeling repetitive.

Skylarking by XTC
Jan 18 2024

Not my favorite album of theirs but I’ve always loved XTC… Dear God is Epic!!

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Jan 19 2024

This is classic Bluegrass at its Finest. For those folks who are music history buffs you need to understand that this music came from RURAL America, not big city….it moved slowly thru minstrel shows, religious revival la, family reunions and brought small communities together to create and celebrate what was happening in Their lives. Where it came from??it started out with roots in gospel, blues, folk, country music in the southern states and it moved to the Heartland of the Midwest where I grew up in Kansas. There is a National Bluegrass Festival in Winfield, KS every year and a Huge number of these individual musical artists also perform at the Yearly at the American Folk Alliance Festival in Kansas City which goes on for se real days…KC hosted the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band as did Lawrence, KS and other college towns in the 70’s and 80’s. I know Bluegrass is not everyone’s cup of tea but it started a movement during the early 1900’s !!

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 20 2024

ok, I gotta say...I had never listened to them previously. If I had listened to them in the 90's early 00's by review might be different. Not a fan. Loud, poor chord transitions and many of the songs sounded similar and yet others didn't seem to fit the others...a mish mash of songs, sounds, instruments, lyrics....I gave it a 3 only because the group has done songs, per friends of mine that enjoy them that are better....otherwise I would've given it 2 stars.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jan 21 2024

This album was controversial when it came out bc of apartheid in South Africa. What many do Not understand is that apartheid prevented South African black society from earning money from All jobs that’s the downside of sanctions of any kind. Paul Simon actually did a very Brave thing… he sought out South African musicians and he gave them work. He paid them and gave them credits on the album…it is a wonderful reminder of how music crosses All boundaries and divisions and ignites the souls of All it touches!!

No Other by Gene Clark
Jan 22 2024

I didn’t know until it finished that it was from the Byrd’s singer!! It was delightful!!

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Jan 25 2024

I love Jazz… just found it a bit slow and felt it needed more vocals

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jan 26 2024

I was actually amazed that I liked several vs of the songs and the beats. I’m not a prude about language and swear words, I drop plenty of F bombs of my own. That said swearing, every other word just to swear, not a fan…. I know that this is just one sample of Missy Elliott’s work, so gave it 3 stars for that.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 27 2024

I know that this man was a Huge symbol for many future rappers and that his style of rap has been used by Many famous current Rap and Hip Hop artists….he deserves their praises and the honors they bestow upon his memory. May he Rest in Power….this is just not music I listen to or have been exposed to…not my jam but mean no disrespect…

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Jan 28 2024

An older and a goodie! It transcends time. I love it!

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Jan 29 2024

One of the Greatest albums of All time!! Love it !!

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jan 30 2024

WOW 🤩 just WoW to hear an Iconic Album with Incredible riffs, lyrics a that smooth rich sultry voice of Grace Slick…. I’m still on a high just hearing This album!!

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jan 31 2024

Loved the beats on this one!! I danced in the kitchen while I was cooking it was heaven!!

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Feb 01 2024

This may be for some ..but definitely NOT for me….put in on to take my shower, normally a calming wake up experience turned into shrill, anxiety ridden followed by high agitation levels…This album is as bad as fingernails on a Chaulk board….Noise, not music…. you have to give 1 star to vote.. or I would have given a negative number….dimply awful, I feel as though my ears are bleeding..

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Feb 10 2024

An older album of theirs… I liked their later stuff better because the lyrics improved greatly. The songs on this album I liked were more instrumental and less angry!!

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Feb 12 2024

Loved 🥰 this album

Green by R.E.M.
Feb 14 2024

It was great! I have friends that love them… can’t say I’d ever listened to them before!

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 28 2024

Not a fan, just not… I tried I really did but for me it was a nails on the Chaulk board experience….NO, Just NO… but to each their own…

evermore by Taylor Swift
Mar 01 2024

Lyrics, music, the total package… the voice…I Love it All !! I am a Senior Swiftie NOW!!

Bossanova by Pixies
Mar 02 2024

It was loud and the lyrics & music were just meh for me

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 04 2024

Not a fan…sorry/not sorry… not into rap music in general… just not my style…I had to give it 1 star to vote. In truth I would give it Zero stars… if I want “nails on the chaulk board” perhaps but that is annoyingly Awful and hurts my eardrums which start to bleed after just the few seconds of this ….

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 05 2024

Classic sexy, wonderful honey coated music and lyrics. Marvin Gaye was Epic and Ine of the Very Best smooth jazz/blues/Motown Sound!!

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Mar 06 2024

Big lover of Till Tuesday…. Really enjoyed hearing her incredible vocals and lyrics… now, I just wanna hear more!!

D by White Denim
Mar 07 2024

Had never heard of them and I loved their sound and song lyrics. Always love hearing a band or individual I’m not heard and enjoy listening too!!

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 08 2024

I Love ❤️ Van Halen!! Eddie Van Halen is IMHO one of the top 5 greatest guitar players of ALL time!!

Pretenders by Pretenders
Mar 09 2024

I LOVE ❤️ The Pretenders!!! I could listen to Chrissy Hynde sing All day long….my fantasy trio would be Chrissy, Annie Lennox and Brandi Carlile!!

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Mar 10 2024

In college, I dated a guy who was Totally into Punk Rock, so I grew to love it in the late 70’s early 80’s. I think of Iggy Pop as the grandfather of Punk Rock… I attribute him being who launched the genre whether that’s true or not and so think his work is Genius!!

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Mar 11 2024

I had never heard of the group, u til I listened to this. Then magical realized that I’d heard them on the radio as a young girl at the swimming pool! That my high school babysitters played some of their songs!! Thoroughly enjoyable music!!

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Mar 12 2024

May 27 2024

The break out initial Classic U2 Album hits my sentimental side as do many albums from several decades ago. One begins to recount all the memories and people i that time period....This album had so many Big hits and so many of the songs on this album got incredible airplay here in the US from this band from Ireland and the UK...I even believe at one point they were labeled as the "new Beatles" in terms of popularity "across the pond"...I Have Always loved U2 and this particular album brings back the Most of what I long for from them......I would give it 20 stars if I could.....
