Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Very good album from Dolly's early career when she was still a protégée of Porter Waggoner. Title song is a story from her poverty-stricken childhood as one of 12 children. Several good songs mostly written by Dolly. The song "Coat Of Many Colors" is one of her classics.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

A seminal work in the history of Rock amd Roll.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

4/5

Classic Jazz fusion album but it is not the kind of music I prefer.

Slayed?

Slade

1/5

I hate this kind of music. I did not listen since I've heard it before.

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

One of his many solo albums that explored world music.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

A good album for Cat. This is long before he converted to Islam, his mother's religion, and stopped making secular music.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

Not a jazz fan

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

2/5

A little too pretentious for me

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Classic album by an artist people are starting to forget.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Radiohead depends on excellent songs to pull its sound out of the mire of mediocre playing. This group of songs is not a good group of Thom Yorke's tunes.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Good album from a Jazz legend. Not really my style but I can appreciate it.

Bossanova

Pixies

2/5

An average album at best by this usually top-notch group.

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

1/5

Waste of my time.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

An album that helped define soul.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Classic album that changed the way popular music was recorded and presented.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

4/5

Nice follow up to the classic first release. It shows development from the self-named previous album but that one is a classic teen-angst release. In this case, musical development is not necessarily good.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

Somehow people believe experimentation is all good and bands should be rewarded for trying new techniques. No problem with experiments but let them die in the studio when they don't work. Radiohead's catalogue is filled with experiments that should have not bloated their releases. Please, if it doesn't work, let it go.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Very good songs but reflecting of their time period.
