The Atomic Mr Basie
Count Basie & His Orchestra
Not my preferred cup of tea but listenable. Has some nice very interesting songs. One of those albums that I will have to be in the mood for to play it again.

The Joshua Tree
U2
Never been a big fan of U2, but this album has a few songs I like (just the first 3) after that it turns into a meh record for me.

This is one of those albums that have that raw and dirty feel to it. I love it!

Black Holes and Revelations
Muse
Muse is one of those bands that I really have to be in the mood to listen to, but when I do I really enjoy them. That said I still cannot listen to them for too long, they can get a little monotone after awhile. I just listened to this album I'll be OK for the next year if I don't hear another album. A song here and there sure (I have a few sprinkled in my playlists) but not a whole album. To me the album is a solid 4 when in the mood.

Rumours
Fleetwood Mac
Rumours has been one of my favorite albums since I first heard it back in the early 80s. It is a very well recorded album and I use The Chain to test the staging of a system. The harmonies on the album are great and musically it is tight.

American IV: The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash
Hurt is by far my favorite song in this album. You can feel the pain of that the song evokes in Johnny's voice. The rest of the album is OK.

Lou Reed
Perfect Day is the only song that I really liked out of the whole album, but I have never been a huge fan of Lou Reed to begin with. Walk on the Wild Side also OK, but in general the album is not for me.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears
The Mamas & The Papas
This album has 2 of my favorite M&P songs Monday, Monday and California Dreamin'. The rest of the album is pretty good. I have always been a fan of the layered harmonies that the M&P produced.

The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
Now we are talking. The album that made my neighbors think that I was scarifying virgins (it was a lot easier to find those back in the 80s) and goats in my house when I was growing up. One of my mom's neighbors actually talked to my parents one afternoon because they were worried about me (I turned out OK, I think). I would blast this almost every day. This is a banger from the beginning 'til the end.

Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits
I've loved this album since my cousin bought it back in 85-86 and I put it in my grandpa's record player. Great all around guitar work and exquisite bass lines.
