Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jan 05 2024

Some really good iconic songs and some not so good.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 10 2024

Liked it more than I expected. She has a great voice.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 11 2024

Angry, racist, sacriligious. Couldn't finish it, had to move on.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 12 2024

Very nice. Lots of hits.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 15 2024

Makes me want to go to the beach sipping on a drink with an umbrella in it.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jan 16 2024

Always liked ELO's music. But, all sounds the same after a while.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 17 2024

Excellent rock album. Listened to it when it first came out on vinyl in a friend’s basement.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 19 2024

Not bad for a computer programmer. Kind of liked most of the songs.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jan 22 2024

Bit too grungy for my taste. Couple of good songs.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jan 23 2024

Having played in bands when I was younger, the musicianship of these folks is off the charts.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 26 2024

Quintessential Bruce. A couple of classics on this one.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers

Interesting mix of styles. Some 60’s ish, some grunge. Kinda liked most of it.

Synchronicity by The Police
Feb 02 2024

Some weird ones on this one. Some of them like random noise over a drum beat. Wonder if that was his mother on the phone? Synchronicity II is excellent. So is Every Breath You Take. And King of Pain.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits

4 hits and lots of other good tunes too. Always enjoyed their music.

I guess there is some talent here but I think it sounds like a pinball machine.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Mar 04 2024

Pretty good but after a few songs they all sound the same. 2

Mar 05 2024

Couple of decent tunes on this one.
