Paul Simon

5/5

Love the percussion and creative drumming. Typical Simon lyrically poignant mixed with humor. Excellent. A master playing.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

Excellent guitar work. A bit choppy for me however I can see why they are respected. Not necessarily my cup of tea.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

5/5

Melodic, gentle, easy to listen to as background though rewarding to focus on. I only knew of Nick Drake from the Garden State Soundtrack.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

2/5

Sounded like rock opera. Perhaps I don't understand or get the brilliance but I did not enjoy it.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

5/5

Very much enjoyed it. Happy and complex with some of the underlying tension present in Tango. Quite fun!

Elvis Presley

5/5

I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I have not been an Elvis fan but enjoyed some of the B cuts that sounded more creative and playful to me than the more popular hits.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

5/5

Totally enjoyed this. I had never heard of this artist. Reminded me of Buena Vista Social Club but more melancholy.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

I wasn't able to listen to all of it as I was out of the office a lot. Quite fun. I enjoyed the 80s throwback.

High Violet

The National

5/5

I had not heard them before. What a great band!

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

Quite a fun album. Nice hooks. I found myself wanting a broader sonic palate.

Van Halen

5/5

Wow! Loved this album. You could see their brilliance as well as see where they grew in subsequent albums.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Loved this album. I still remembered nearly every song by heart. Took me back to my teen years.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

3/5

Thought it was an interesting peek into their earlier years before they really hit their stride.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

I didn't get it. Perhaps it was brilliant and if I spent weeks with it I would understand it. I don't. It seemed like an album of demos.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Some really great songs but a lot of the album just felt vexing.

Arise

Sepultura

1/5

I disliked screaming metal and the satanic vibe.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Quite a fun album! I had not heard of them before.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

I rather enjoyed this album. I had listened to the River song but the other ones were mostly new to me though I think I could hear the influence she had vocally on Sarah McLaughlin and Tori Amos.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

5/5

Great album! I had not realized how blues oriented they were! Very cool.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

3/5

Fun 80s sound.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Loved it. Easy to listen to. Fun and sexy.
