She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

Why is she standing like that? I liked "Girls just want to have fun" because it was energetic. Sad songs are not fun but this is exciting and great for dancing. I like "Time after time" because it sounds great. The music songs very pretty. "She bop" was also great because it was interesting. The music was really cool. I would definitely recommend this song.

All Ratings (45)

Jan 22 2025

I enjoyed the songs "Where the streets have no name", "I still haven't found what I'm looking for", and "With or without you" because the instrumentation sounds nice.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 24 2025

I like the song "Pale Blue Eyes" because it's gentle and sweet. I don't like "Murder Mystery" because it sounds messy and strange. I think "Jesus" is not the greatest but not the worst because I don't like the organs but the singing sounds nice.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 27 2025

I liked "You sent me flying" because I like the lyrics. "Take the Box" is okay but I wasn't as fun because the music stays the same through most of the song. I thought "October song" was okay but I wouldn't normally pick it because it's not really fun.

Jan 28 2025

What genre does Bob Dylan's music fall under? I like "Blowing in the wind" because it sounds really nice. The harmonica and acoustic guitar really work well together. I like the folksy music and lyrics. I like "Masters of War" because it's so true. The lyrics are excellent. They portray what world leaders and rich/powerful people avoid the war and let others do the dirty work. I liked "A hard rain's gonna fall" because Bob Dylan sang well. His singing voice was very good. It was better compared to other songs. I would recommend this because the lyrics mixed with the music makes for great songs.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Jan 29 2025

Why is there a naked half human on the cover? I like the music because it's pretty. The instrumental music is excellent. The melody is nice because it changes through the song instead of staying the same. There are interesting parts where the music changes and seems like completely different song. I recommend this album because it's really cool.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 31 2025

I liked "All along the watchtower" because it was cool. I liked the guitar music. I thought "Voodoo chile" was okay. It wasn't the best. "A long summer night" was pretty good. The signing was good. Overall I think this album is pretty good.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Feb 03 2025

I think "Pusherman" is okay. I like the music but I don't like the lyrics. "Freddy's Dead" was the same as "Pusherman" for me because the music is cool but the lyrics are bad. "Superfly" is the same as the others, the music is great but not the lyrics. I do not recommend this album.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Feb 04 2025

Why is she standing like that? I liked "Girls just want to have fun" because it was energetic. Sad songs are not fun but this is exciting and great for dancing. I like "Time after time" because it sounds great. The music songs very pretty. "She bop" was also great because it was interesting. The music was really cool. I would definitely recommend this song.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Feb 07 2025

Why do they all have the same hairstyle? I liked "Norwegian wood" because it was nice. The music was interesting and unique. I also liked "My life" because it was great. The music was pretty and the lyrics were also great. "Run for your life" was good too, but I prefer the first two because I didn't like these lyrics. I would definitely recommend this album.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Feb 10 2025

I thought "Shh! Peaceful" was good. I liked the instrumental music even without the lyrics. "In a silent way" was also great because it very delicate and nice. It's actually good without the lyrics. I recommend this album

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Feb 11 2025

The people on the cover look scary. I thought "Not fade away" was nice. The instrumentation was simple yet sounded good. I didn't care too much about the lyrics. "That'll Be The Day" was good, I liked the music and the lyrics were okay. "Oh Boy!" was great. The music was much more upbeat and fun. I might recommend this album. It's pretty good.

The Visitors by ABBA
Feb 12 2025

What are they doing on the cover? "One of us" sounds nice. The instrumentation is great but the lyrics are sad. I thought "Slipping through my fingers" sounded very pretty. The music was gentle and not overpowering. I feel like this song may be about feeling like she is losing herself or her personality. Or maybe it's about losing a friend or family member as time goes, being afraid to grow apart. I liked "Head over heels" because it was more upbeat. The lyrics seem like their about someone who is inspiring but also kind of bossy and pushy. This person makes the singer feel like she isn't in charge. I wouldn't recommend this album.

Future Days by Can
Feb 14 2025

`Why does it sound so strange? "Future Days" started out really weird. I thought the lyrics were okay but I didn't really get the meaning. "Moon shake" was definitely better. The music was more fun and upbeat. The lyrics seem to be about slowing things down, probably in a relationship. "Bel Air" wasn't to great, the instrumentation was interesting but the singing was hard to understand. I wouldn't recommend this album.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 19 2025

The cover looks strange. I liked "Running with the devil" because it was fun. It was energized and pumped, I liked that. "Eruption" was good. The beginning was really cool with the guitar. I thought "Ain't Talkin bout love" was okay. I loved the guitar but I wasn't really into the lyrics. "You really got me" was great, I thought the music was awesome and so was the singing. Out of all the songs, I liked this one best. I would for sure recommend this album.

Feb 21 2025

Is the woman on the cover the singer? "I've been loving you too long" is okay, the singing voice isn't the greatest. The music is decent but kind of boring. I liked "Respect" because it was good. The music was upbeat and fun. "Satisfaction" was okay. The music was fun and the singing sounded pretty good. I might recommend this album.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 24 2025

Why is everyone looking one way except for one person? I loved "Bitter Sweet Symphony" it was awesome. The lyrics are so relatable and powerful. I also love the violin music. "The Drugs Don't Work" was good. The guitar is pretty. The lyrics are sad because they talk about drug usage and how they just make people feel worse. "One Day" is also good. The music sounds sad, and it talks about loneliness and not having purpose. I would recommend this album.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Feb 25 2025

"Just a gigolo/ I ain't got nobody" was good. I liked the singing voice and the melody. But I thought the lyrics were good. I thought "Body and Soul" wasn't as bad because it was like smooth jazz. Smooth jazz is boring, but I liked the ending. I liked "Jumped, Jive & Wail" because it was fun and energetic. I would recommend this album.

"Smash the mirror" was good but it was short. I liked the smashing mirror at the end. I liked "We're Not Gonna Take It" because it had a good message. The harmonies were good and so was the music.

Mar 17 2025

The cover looks really messy. "U Got Look" was good. I liked the drums, the singing voice was interesting. But I thought the lyrics were good. "If I Was Your Girlfriend" had an interesting start.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Apr 14 2025

The way the picture was taken makes the guy on the cover look strange. "Walk On The Wild Side" was interesting.

The singing voice was really good. The strings paired perfectly with the singing. I liked "Satellite of Love" because the music and singing were really good. But the lyrics are a bit confusing.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Apr 30 2025

Are those supposed to be zombies? I did not like "Gematria." I liked the beginning but the rest of the song was terrible. The singing is just strangled yelling, it does not match the music. The only good part was the guitar solos. The start of "Phsychosocial" was good with the guitar and drums. I liked the second singing voice that didn't sound strangled. "Snuff" was much better. I liked the singing and guitar, they were really good. This song didn't really fit the same vibe as the rest of the album though. I do not recommend this album, except for "Snuff".

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
May 06 2025

"Jeep's Blues" wasn't terrible. I'm not a fan of jazz but this is good. I like the saxophone and piano. "Take The A-Train" was not as good. The piano sounded off-pitch. But I did like the horns. "Sophisticated Lady" is okay. It actually sounded like in a movie a sophisticated woman is entering the room and seducing men. I don't know if I would recommend this album.

May 09 2025

I thought the black and white cover looked cool. "King's Lead Hat" sounded cool, like a good dancing song. The lyrics were a little confusing, but the instrumentation was cool. "By This River" was good. It sounded very sad though. The lyrics are also sad. But the instrumentation still sounded good. "Spider and I" was good.

May 19 2025

Why is there an undressed woman? "Do It Again" was good. The music was upbeat and the singing sounded good. But it's hard to understand what the singer is saying. "Dirty Work" was cool.
