Popular Reviews

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music

Reminds me of the Talking Heads. Kind of meh for me. Not compelled to listen to more.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 12 2024

Heavy "funk." Like a long jam session. Probably wouldn't include on my playlist, but kind of fun. "Psychedelic funk" is a good descriptor.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jun 13 2024

Drop the bass dance club/rave crap. Unimaginative, repetitive, and boring. I stopped listening.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jun 25 2024

Nice voice but album is mostly covers of others' hits. Feels unoriginal to me.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Jun 26 2024

Just no. I hope to never hear this music again. If I was making a terrible 60s movie, I would choose it for the soundtrack. Just awful. How embarrassing it must have been to put this out at a time when we had The Beatles.

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 27 2024

True classic. Demonstration of their desire to evolve and experiment. The Beatles were ahead of their time.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 28 2024

I like his sound and distinctive voice. Although I wouldn't put this album in my regular rotation, it's a nice listen.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 01 2024

Saved by Aqualung. It's okay, but way too much flute. I find that odd and distracting.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jul 02 2024

I'm kind of over Bon Jovi, but you have to give it up for them - this is a great album. I'll still listen when it's on the radio.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jul 04 2024

I'd never heard of The Soft Boys. I like the music - not timeless music, but I would include on my playlist. I was immediately reminded of The Replacements.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 08 2024

No disrespect to Bob Marley - he's the king of reggae. But I went through my reggae phase many years ago and don't enjoy listening to it aside from the once a year visit to the Wild Hare (RIP).

Who's Next by The Who
Jul 09 2024

I'm not a huge fan of The Who, but this is an iconic album that is hard to beat. Baba O'Riley will always be the start of the night at Woodfield's from my college days.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jul 10 2024

Some good music here, but too disco-ey for me.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jul 11 2024

I dislike everything about the Beach Boys. It was crappy, schmalzy music back in the 60s and is worse now. I didn't enjoy it even a bit.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 12 2024

I like the strong guitar and beat. A bit punky, but good. I would almost put it in my rotation. First I've heard of them.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jul 15 2024

Surprisingly good. Reminds me of a cross between The Cars and Elvis Costello. Take Me Out is great, and some other nice songs as well.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jul 16 2024

I'd really have to be in a certain mood to listen to this. Not a big fan of blues, and it's just too slow for me.

Leftism by Leftfield
Jul 17 2024

Just terrible. If you want to spend an hour listening to random electronic noise, this is the ticket for you. I kept imagining Ross with his Casio working on his "music." Ross's was probably better.

Electric by The Cult
Jul 18 2024

I liked it. Guitar centric, so that makes sense. Didn't realize they did "Fire Woman". I would listen - the music holds up.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 23 2024

Just not a Coldplay fan. Maybe it's his singing voice, but maybe just not enough "edge" to make their music compelling for me.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 24 2024

Awful. Worst one I've heard to this point. I hope to never hear it again.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jul 25 2024

Reminds me of the Talking Heads. Kind of meh for me. Not compelled to listen to more.

Illmatic by Nas
Jul 29 2024

Not a fan of rap.

Different Class by Pulp
Jul 30 2024

Not terrible, but uninspiring altish rock. Meh.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Jul 31 2024

Nice groove - I'd call it light funk. Nice easy listening for dinner music. Not a rotation album, but nice.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 01 2024

It was okay, but not something I enjoyed much. Would not put it in my rotation. Just kind of blah to me.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Aug 02 2024

Dinner music.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Aug 05 2024

Wild World makes it for me. I was never a Cat Stevens fan, but glad he was there.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Aug 08 2024

I really liked it - my kind of music. They remind me a bit of Rush.
