Aerosmith

5/5

Some of my personal favorites in this collection! Great songwriting and performances, timeless riffs and melodies. Certainly not over produced but still very clean recordings.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

This first offering by TP & the Heartbreakers has a refined sound without being over-produced. I think this is in large part due to the songwriting, arrangement, and performance by the band. Songs are fresh and a little punchy.

Station To Station

David Bowie

5/5

Hard to go wrong with David Bowie. Great songwriting, great vocals, great production.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

5/5

Such a raw, bluesy collection of songs, original and covered. Sound production is pretty organic and captures the emotion of Clapton and Whitlock so well. Fantastic songs; probably only a couple I wouldn't have on my playlist.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

1/5

Did not care for this genre of music nor the musician's style. Not a fan of hip-hop fused with jazz.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

1/5

Wow, just waiting for each of these songs to be done.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

Punchy tunes from the 60s; raw and musical. They use a certain sound gimmick which was cool on one song but then kept using it; becomes purely annoying.

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

3/5

Not an album I would choose otherwise to listen, but I enjoyed the exposure. The collection of songs and covers were all punchy, say "pre-punk", and the band seemed to enjoy poking fun at themselves. Aside from the quirky originals and clean covers, the lead guitarist's solos were actually pretty good.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Energetic performances from this Blues Master! Recording production is relatively good considering the older technology and live setting.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Exceptional songwriting skills and vocal delivery. Timeless music!

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Smooth, sometimes haunting, vocals. Nice mellow soul.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

I had never listened to this album in entirety. Wow, what a fantastic debut! The original songwriting and music, the clean production. Great work!

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

Really enjoyed the offerings on Pretzel Logic. Some classics as well as great songs that had limited airplay. Can't go wrong with Steely Dan.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

2/5

Not a genre I would likely pick, but certainly not terrible, especially as backgroung music?/noise while working. Some of the songs had pretty cool vibes; others were a bit painful.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

Phenomenal album of original music that transcends time and "popular" categorization. Insightful lyrics, wonderfully composed music, soulful vocals, and clean instrumentation underscore how great this album is.

Rocks

Aerosmith

5/5

Some of my personal favorites in this collection! Great songwriting and performances, timeless riffs and melodies. Certainly not over produced but still very clean recordings.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

4/5

Not my typical genre of music but there is no denying the songwriting genius of Elvis Costello. Each of the songs is still an enjoyable listen and the vocal and instrumental performances are top notch.

Os Mutantes

3/5

Not a fan of the Spanish/Mexican languages but the music and vocal deliveries are very good! Some songs have that late 60s psychadelic vibe and carry it very well.

NEU! 75

Neu!

3/5

Interesting band with great instrumental work. Can't fit this into a single genre. Sounds original.

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

I don't always agree with RAM's politics, but the songs do make me think, and I respect that. I also respect the vocals, instrument performances, and songwriting; top notch. Some of the most memorable guitar riffs!

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

2/5

Some catchy pop grooves, so I can undertand its appeal; I'm just not a fan of pop, especially drum machines. Too much synth for my liking.

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

Clean instrumental performances and clear lyrics. Quite a few catchy (short) tunes. I could probably tolerate a couple of songs and then break to something else more substantial; tough to listen to the album in entirety.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

5/5

Timeless music. Very upbeat and uptempo; great mood lifter. Miles Davis plays impeccably! Likewise, all other musicians' performances are top notch.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

Light and very smooth! All compositions easy to listen.

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

4/5

Unique and easy-listening songs. Nice instrumentation arrangement and performances. Going to check out more by this band.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Such a phenomenal album of songs, including mostly original songs and some old Blues classics masterfully rearranged with Jimmy's bad-ass riffs, soulful vocals by Robert, and solid grooves by John Paul and John. From John Bonham killing it on Moby Dick to Robert pouring out his heart and soul in all of the vocals, fantastic album!!!

The Coral

2/5

Not really my cup of tea. The genre is okay but I'm not a fan of either the vocal style or instrumentation and songwriting.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

I've never been a fan of Dylan's work, but I also haven't invested the time to really listen to the lyrics. I'm sure there is a lot of depth there, but the tunes and his voice just aren't good enough to hold my attention that long.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Some classic tunes from this offering. Insightful stuff like Simple Man and more irreverant like Gimme Three Steps; all great songs!
