Surrealistic Pillow
Jefferson Airplane
A tour de force of 60s music that I generally dislike. Harmonizing vocals in a very 1960s style. Acid psychedelic stuff. Great guitar though on Come Back Baby (terrible voice...can someone else sing?). My Best Friend is pretty solid though, even though it's a bit cheesy.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominos
Classic rock album - kind of heart-breaking, especially Have You Ever Loved a Woman. Layla is a classic too, although not my favorite song, even on the album. Clapton's got a pretty solid voice but the guitar (especially with Duane Alman) is fantastic. Really solid album although simply not my style of music. I've always kind of hated Layla for some reason.

Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A.
solid - although not my style. The songs I knew were fun, but really, I started to trail off toward the end.

Live At Leeds
The Who
Great album. Awesome classic live rock album. Really actually enjoyed this one. Loved My Generation. Hated Summertime Blues even though its one of my favorite songs. Terrible cover

Tres Hombres
ZZ Top
Solid album...classic texas blues style. La Grange is such a classic. I would say it's a little bit boring as it's the same stuff over and over, but that ZZ Top sound is so iconic, that it's really fine.

The Genius Of Ray Charles
Ray Charles
Ray Charles is my kind of music. Bangers like Let the Good Times Roll and It Had to Be You. Some hidden gems too. Some reviewers commented that they didn't like the big band sound...I love that stuff. Not sure what they're talking about...Ray's voice is clear, strong, and not drowned out.

James Brown Live At The Apollo
James Brown
Solid album for 1963....shows all the promise of James Brown. Some catchy songs, but really I just don't think I'm a James Brown fan, especially the live stuff. I know that's sacrilege but I want something more polished from a production standpoint. The music was INCREDIBLY tight, so I can't fault James on anything musically. 4/5.

Dirt
Alice In Chains
Surprised at how much I actually liked this. Not normally a grunge rock type of guy. Probably my least favorite song was Rooster, probably their most famous. Dam that River was really solid though. Them Bones too. Really depressing album though. Hits hard.

Taylor Swift
honestly, incredibly boring. I literally had it playing and at one point I forgot I was listening to music. It wasn't offensive, just...boring.

We Are Family
Sister Sledge
Some really solid tracks. I liked hearing the original "Miami 2017". "We Are Family" is such a banger. Like the reviewers said, a solid 3 or 4 songs, but the rest were filler. Nile Rogers is kind of a boss though.
