Electric Ladyland
Jimi Hendrix
Several JH gems on this album to include Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), and All Along the Watchtower. Like all Hendrix albums it's a bumpy ride as there are several cuts that are decidedly less than the hits. I would stress that Jimi didn't have the chance to fully develop his song writing skills which most likely would have improved over a longer career. Having said all that, the world is a better place having been graced with the Hendrix material that we have.

Smash
The Offspring
This was the album that really introduced the Offspring to the world. Perfect post punk from 1994. Still a good listen when I'm in the mood for uptempo, angsty rock.

Greetings From L.A.
Tim Buckley
Too before my time. Folk just never grabbed my attention. On the plus side, Tim Buckley gave us Jeff Buckley.

Ramones
Love the Ramones. They followed in the footsteps of MC5, Iggy Pop and others but in my opinion, The Ramones really started punk in the US.

Although TV on the Radio have a number of songs I really like, I just can't appreciate this entire album. Not my thing.

Ray Price was a musical treasure. Not exactly my favorite genre but it's certainly grown on me as I got older.

k.d. lang
I appreciate some of Lang's music, she can certainly write and has a nice voice. However, "Western swing" music just isn't my thing and I found this a hard album to listen to.

Back In Black
AC/DC
Still sounds great. I don't often listen to AC/DC these days but this album scratches the itch when I need some down & dirty rock. Many people counted AD/DC as done when Bon Scott tragically died but the boys found a more than adequate replacement in Brian Johnson. Great comeback album
