Jurassic 5
Not much to say other than a solid effort on the part of the group. It's definitely worth listening to for those interested in the genre or maybe looking for something different than what they normally listen to.

Joan Armatrading
Joan has a very strong voice. She's very soulful and expressive in a way that a lot of musicians can't match. I'm not sure I like her voice with the type of music she sings. I give her four stars for her vocals but three stars for the music she's singing to.

I liked the writing, the musicianship, and the meaning behind the songs. But, I didn't like his voice. His tone and enunciation were not good for me. Songs like Road and Which Will are great, as was Parasite. But the vocals made it hard for me to listen to.

Culture Club
As someone born in 1972, it might be a shock to some that I've never been a fan of 80s pop music. And, most of it hasn't held up well over time. I didn't like Culture Club when they hit in the 80s and I still don't. However, I have to give a tip of the hat to Boy George as he did deliver solid vocals for the group and often times his tone reminded me a little of George Michael.
