Boston
5/5
Hit after hit. You would be hard pressed to find an album as successful when it comes to radio play. Almost all of the songs on this album are still played regularly and for good reason. Love the energy and I'm a sucker for a good organ sound which this album definitely delivers in spades.
Fleetwood Mac
1/5
Couldn't even listen to this whole thing. How can they have Rumors and have this also?
The Smiths
2/5
Some good sounds but couldn't get in to it.
Bon Jovi
4/5
The Go-Go's
5/5
Fan of Tonite and Lust to Love
Van Morrison
3/5
A few great songs but the rest seems to be all the same.
And It Stoned Me - Somewhat awkward beginning, soft, but delivers some good instrumentation. What is Jelly Roll?
Moondance - Familiar song. Sounds like some old lounge songs. Good.
Crazy Love - Too soft for me
Caravan - Sounds like just another Van Morrison song
Into the Mystic - Familiar classic. Good.
Come Running - Starting to tire of this style
These Dreams of You - Another similar sounding song to my ears with some solos
Brand New Day - More of the same. I need some more energy
Everyone - Forgettable
Glad Tidings - Seems a little more upbeat but not enough
Beatles
3/5
Not my favorite era of The Beatles, but Don't Bother Me has some hint of what they could become.
It Won't Be Long - Not bad
All I've Got To Do - Ok
All My Loving - Ok. Chorus is good.
Don't Bother Me - Nice groove
Little Child - Not for me
Till There Was You - Not a bad cover
Please Mister Postman - More covers
Roll Over Beethoven - Better cover
Hold Me Tight - Not bad
You Really Got A Hold On Me - And another cover. Only ok.
I Wanna Be Your Man - Ok, kinda catchy.
Devil In Her Heart - Ok, but another cover
Not A Second Time - Ok I guess
Money (That's What I Want) - Another cover but I like this song
Why are the songs so short? Also the cover: We don't have room for Ringo so I guess just put him down in the corner.
Dion
2/5
I think all of this was new music to me. An ok listen but nothing that memorable for me.
Supergrass
5/5
Somehow never heard any of this wonderful album before. Supergrass has a new fan. Every song was great except for the last one because I hated the ungh sound they were using for the bass line.
Slipknot
4/5
I am not a fan of screaming music, so I gravitate toward the songs that have less of that. The energy of the music is great especially those drums. Snuff is so good. Sulfur, Psychosocial, 'Til We Die, and especially Dead Memories are also really good. On more listening the other songs grew on me too.
Air
3/5
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
Starts off soft, builds up, gets weird, and ends strong. Interesting to have the same song in two different forms as the bookends. Also interesting to have some live and some not songs.

Started strong. Not sure if country copied Elvis or what but it sounded very country other than the first song.
Beatles
4/5
Good album. Not all great but very good. Never been a fan of Yellow Submarine.
Fleetwood Mac
5/5
Great songs from a great band. Not all are great but enough to deserve its 5 stars.
Elvis Costello
3/5
Not my style but not a bad listen.
Baaba Maal
2/5
I liked the sound but it did seem to be repetitive.
Jack White
4/5
Good music but only a couple things stand out for me. The Sixteen Saltines and Weep Themselves To Sleep stood out as memorable.

Actually enjoyed several of these songs even though it is from so long ago.
The Who
3/5
Not my favorite Who music but do respect the effort to make an album that tells a whole story. I especially liked the 'tures. Never been a fan of Pinball Wizard.

I know I have heard some good Radiohead music but I didn't recognize any of these and the vocal were so grating to my ears that I was barely able to make it through once.

Barely went with a 5 on this one. It has some great songs but as a double album there are quite a few songs that distract from them.
