Miriam Makeba
Miriam MakebaA couple catchy fun tunes. Singer hits some great ghost notes, and I like the background vocals, soulfullness, melodies. Same artist that does the Pata Pata song the kids like in just dance.

Dig Me Out
Sleater-KinneyDecent guitar work. Very vibrato vocalist, to the point where it was sheep-like. 1997...at that point lots of other similar grunge albums out doing similar things, arguable w better writing so not sure why this one was on list compared to similar others from the era. Still liked it all things considered.

Sign 'O' The Times
PrinceInteresting use of vocal harmonies, w 80s synth drums. Lots of instruments. Overall not styles I seek out, but can't deny the talent, creativity, and how this album captures and defined 80s sound. Didn't hear any single song i wanted to hear again immediately tho.

Third
Portishead1st song is a great driving groove of a tune, followed by many songs of aimless singing melodies and droning electronic noises and beats nowhere near the groove, energy, and coolness of first song.

Rejoicing In The Hands
Devendra BanhartSounds like a lamb, bit more gratuitous use of voice vibrato than Jeff Buckley or alt J, but if you can get past the voice, there is nice guitar picking in the album. 2 stars for that.

David BowieHeard this one when it came out... hard listening then, hard listening now...he knew he did not have much time left while creating/recording it. No track really stands out, especially compared to many great albums and songs Bowie left us. 2 stars for it being Bowie, there are quite a few other albums that better be on this list if this one is.
