Graceland by Paul Simon

One of his many solo albums that explored world music.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Apr 12 2024

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.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Apr 24 2024

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

Slayed? by Slade
Apr 25 2024

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

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 26 2024

One of his many solo albums that explored world music.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Apr 29 2024

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

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
May 27 2024

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.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jun 14 2024

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

Bossanova by Pixies
Jun 17 2024

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

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jul 12 2024

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 by Radiohead
Jul 15 2024

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 by Harry Nilsson
Jul 17 2024

Very good songs but reflecting of their time period.
