Enjoyed this. So far best album I have been recommended. Easy listening, and great background music.

Born To Be With You

Dion

3/5

I saw another comment on here that says it sounds like a discount version of Elton John. Agree. It's not bad; it's just not Elton John's quality.

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

3/5

This album was a decent listen. I got through all the tracks and it was easy to hear in the background.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

It turns out that I have heard every single song on this album before. Who knew?

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

I'm not a huge reggae fan, but this was nice background music. Relaxing enough, and I didn't skip anything.

Moondance

Van Morrison

2/5

Ok.

Tical

Method Man

3/5

Not a bad listen.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

1/5

I waivered about giving this album a 2. There were small parts of these songs that I enjoyed, but very shortly after that it would get overwhelming and weird again. Felt like discount MGMT.

Purple Rain

Prince

3/5

Solid hits.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Based on my typical love for the 70s/80s I had high hopes for this album.

Ingenue

k.d. lang

1/5

I tried really hard. Not my thing.

Survivor

Destiny's Child

3/5

Finally an album from my childhood. Would usually rate a 2 but it gets a sad extra star for being nostalgic.

Atomizer

Big Black

3/5

Kerosene was the best song on this album. It's fun pick-me-up background music.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

1/5

I think I would have enjoyed the not live version of this a WHOLE LOT more.

Nevermind

Nirvana

3/5

Although I don't like 90s punk rock, I can appreciate that this is a good album.

Sail Away

Randy Newman

2/5

This album was not terrible. I got through most of the tracks. It loses a star from me for all the god mentions.

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

3/5

Before I read these reviews, I had pegged this album as background shopping music. Apparently, I am not alone in this theory. However, I actually didn't mind this.

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

3/5

This album was a lot better than I expected. The vibe - small town country fair.

The Stone Roses

I really really enjoyed this album.

Yep, I am doing it. Out of the 33 other albums I have listened to on this list, this is my first 5 star. I ended up actually downloading 2 songs - Born Under Punches and Once In A Lifetime. The uniqueness is right up my alley.

Rattus Norvegicus

This was refreshing after a bunch of not so refreshing albums.
