Old school hip-hop, with intriguing beats full of low-end and jazzy samples. Nicely crafted with well-thought lyrics. Interesting
Harmless pop with an alt-rock (and some false pretences of grunge) mask put on, crafted for GenXs left by their boyfriends. Production is very well-executed, I give her that; which is something of a lost art nowadays. The voice can really be annoying sometimes, and the lyrics do nothing for me (a bit cheesy for my taste), though I'm not really the market they were written for.
The King Himself, nothing else to add; great performer, master of his craft and with an incredible dominion of the stage. Relic of a better past (musically); this is The Blues and nothing can compare to it.
Started out pretty funky and full of color, only to shift to a slower, less rich type of ballads that simply are not as enjoyable
The masterpiece that elevated the thrash metal from a simple 'get-fast-and-get-loud' type of music to practically an art. Carefully crafted, with lyrics that went beyond the 'rock and roll lifestyle' that was so common among their peers, full of classical influences and references, both musically and lyrically, and technically flawless
Nice breakup from the bebop style that Davis was known for at the time. The big band touches make it very interesting
