The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground
An eclectic group of songs, some of which have very haunting melodies. These are supplemented by Reed's chanting vocals. The lyrics are the highlight of these songs which are very clever and gritty. Nico's vocals are best when complementary to Reed's instead of in the lead. Some of songs (i.e. European Son) have instrumental sections reminiscent of free form jazz.

Music for the Masses
Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode was never one of my favorites growing up in the 80's, but no one can deny, that they have that iconic 80's sound that defined that decade's music. I tended to 70's music and the goth rock bands of the 80's (The Damned, Bauhaus, and The Sisters of Mercy). While a little too synthpop to me, I did enjoy some of this record, notably the lyricism and the song "To Have and to Hold".

I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to jazz, but I know the significance of this record. I purchased a Canadian first press of "Jazz goes to College" for a dollar but haven't had a chance to listen. As I get older I am looking for new musical experiences that I have yet to discover. This record was one of those experiences. The musicianship is superb. A very enjoyable listen.

Pet Sounds
The Beach Boys
I am not a huge fan of the Beach Boys, but cannot deny that they have many catchy tunes, that I like very much. This album shows growth in musical direction away from their standard beach party music. This album was Brian Wilson's response to the release of Rubber Soul by the Beatles. He has definitely taken the Beach Boys to a new musical level with this, but I still give the edge to the Beatles here. (IMO). I find that as the Beatles moved away from "The Fab Four", their music grew increasingly better. With the Beach Boys I like several songs on this record, but tend to like their party fair a little better. I listen to both the mono and stereo mixes of this (2016, 50th anniversary mixes). I liked the stereo mix better in terms of sound quality.

I liked the influences on this record, it was very musical with a rhythm and blues vibe.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
OutKast
I am only 26 albums into this project and this is the 4th hip-hop record that has come up. When I saw this one pop up. I read the Wikipedia entry and saw that this consists of 39 songs, I resigned myself to a long listening session, also seeing the warning label on the cover of the album I knew I was in for a bumpy ride. I must admit the album was not what I expected. There are songs here that take influence from all manner of genres and I have to admit there was a lot here to enjoy. Many songs get their roots from funk, jazz, soul, and some of the lyrics are just downright funny. There were a couple of songs on here that had a Frank Zappa vibe. There were also a few songs that I could barely muck through. If you cut out some of the weaker songs, this would have been a very solid album but with some of the lesser material, it makes it a bit of a marathon listen.

Elephant
The White Stripes
What do you get when you take two weird kids from suburban Detroit and have them meet at a bar in Royal Oak? One of the greatest garage rock bands of all time. The White Stripes started with a simple blues and punk-based influence and a minimalist approach of only guitar and drums. They were relatively short-lived releasing only six studio albums but their albums sold millions of copies and have had a lasting legacy. Jack has continued as a solo artist and with numerous other projects supporting other bands. His musical ability is no less than genius. Meg has been very controversial as an artist, with many believing her playing to be rudimentary and with very little technical ability. Say what you want to about her ability but her playing had a distinctive sound that was integral to the White Stripes' music. When she decided that she had enough, Jack knew the White Stripes were done. This album is a testament to how great a band they were.

Paul's Boutique
Beastie Boys
Paul's Boutique was not as commercially successful as Licence to Ill. But sonically this is a far superior record in all regards and it established the Beastie Boys as legitimate hip-hop musicians. Now when I say hip-hop, I do so with a grain of salt. I find that the Beasties have a hard rock and punk kinda vibe as opposed to several other hip-hop records in this list. I would classify this more as Alt hip-hop. The Beasties started as a punk band and the music and attitude of punk musicians shines throughout this record. The lyrical interplay is top-notch, and the lyrical content is very amusing even if it has an angry adolescent quality about it, same as License to Ill but, rawer and introspective. There are some shining stars on this record, Johnny Ryall being a particular favorite.

At Folsom Prison
Johnny Cash
This album is one from my personal collection. I'm not a huge fan of country music, but Johnny's music transcends any labels that could be used to describe his style. Johnny's music takes influence from country, rockabilly, folk, and blues. This album is a great listen from start to finish. The songs here deal with many unhappy subjects but Johnny does justice to them all whether the lyrics are sad or humorous. His rapport with his audience of inmates is undeniable and he seems to have enthralled the prison staff as well, which is why they kept bringing him in to do prison shows. I am somewhat surprised by some of the things he gets away with on this record, knowing what the censorship of the time was.

Band On The Run
Paul McCartney and Wings
My mother exposed me to The Beatles when I was around 10 and my cousin and I would listen to them for hours. We would play air guitar and sing along to the music, both of us wanted to be Paul. My first exposure to the Wings was the album "Wings at the Speed of Sound", which was a favorite of mine. I was also aware of the songs "Live and Let Die" from the James Bond film and of course the eponymous, "Band on the Run" from the radio. It wasn't until much later that I listened to this record from start to finish. I think this record has a similar feel to "Abbey Road" which is one of my favorite records. You really can't go wrong with Paul McCartney. Great listen!

Pixies
I had never been into the Pixes and had never listened to this album before. My first exposure to the band was a few years ago when a friend invited me to see a Pixies/Weezer concert. I was not very impressed with the Pixies set. It seemed lackluster and uninvolving. So ok, I had to give this a second listen, to be fair, but I am afraid it did not improve my overall impression of this. I find this to be a mix of college rock and garage, too many repetitive lyrics and some spots are just unintelligible screaming. I never really felt this one, a couple of good songs. Bright spot "Where is my Mind?"

Waits gets his inspiration from all manner of jazzy and bluesy influences with a vaudevillian atmosphere and lyrics that stem from the darker, seedier side of life. Also being a fan of Captain Beefheart, I can also note similarities with Waits' music there as well. A really good listen, looking forward to experiencing some more from Mr. Waits.

I have to say that I'm not familiar with any of the Bee Gee's music other than the disco hits of the 70s. (which is excellent btw!) So this was my first listen to this record. Billed as a concept album, this attempt falls short of an album like "Sgt. Pepper's" or the rock opera "Tommy", but it is good sixties rock and a very enjoyable listen. I think the production is very high quality but overdone and some of the musical interludes could have been scrapped for a tighter finished product.

That being said there are a few tracks on this record that I don't really like and can be somewhat repetitive, but they will deserve another listen. It is a shame this band was so short-lived.

But when I first heard this album, I knew the possibilities that music provides. That being said, I would say this album is not my favorite in the catalog, preferring "Revolver" and "Abbey Road".

Highway to Hell
AC/DC
Classic rock and roll recording. This has been a favorite of mine for many years. When it comes to AC/DC, I prefer the Bon Scott-era of the band. Not to say they didn't have some pretty good releases following his death. Many people claim that all their songs sound the same. I disagree regarding the music produced in the earlier days of the band. They had a formulaic style, but the earlier music was much more rooted in the blues. Bon Scott's lyrics were well-crafted and tongue-in-cheek. I feel that this is somewhat lost in the music produced after his death. Although I would not call this album my favorite AC/DC record which I would say is, "Powerage", this is probably the runner-up.
Favorite song: "Walk All Over You"
Least Favorite: "Love Hungary Man"
