Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

5/5

I think this is the music that plays in heaven. This gets a little repetitive, especially in the middle - but it’s great music and I have no complaints. Best songs: You are my sunshine You don’t know me Careless love Worst songs: Just a little lovin

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

How much harmonica is too much harmonica? This album really takes that question to the limit. Some songs I thought were very strong- but others kind of blended together. (And others i couldn’t wait to be over) Best songs - Most likely you go your way Obviously five believers Worst songs: Absolutely sweet Marie

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

3/5

I guess I’m just not that into 70s hard rock Best Songs - Simple Man - Things Goin On - Free Bird - Tuesdays gone Worst Song - Mississippi Kid I agree with the rating “Music to empty the bar” to some extent - but I have to give some respect. And even though when I listen to Free Bird all I can think about is that one scene from Kingsmen, it’s still a legendary guitar solo

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

I love the folky rock sound, none of the songs are really showstoppers for me but as a whole this is a really lovely album Best Songs: Into the Mystic Worst songs: Everyone

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

5/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

On the first listen I wasn’t completely sold - but this is really a perfect album - almost each song is a hit for me. I was starting to list the best songs but I put most of the songs on the list.

Young Americans

David Bowie

2/5

You can definitively tell he was inspired by soul and funk for this album, but the execution isn’t great in my opinion. I think Bowie has much better albums :) the only track that was genuinely funky was Fame (which is amazing)

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

3/5

Give me a beach with some shade and a drink in my handdd. But this album was enjoyable even now in the winter. Nothing more than that in my opinion. Best songs: Igziabeher

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

I think there are more bad tracks here than good ones. Can I appreciate their music without liking it? :) The angsty guitar solos and screaming really isn’t my cup of tea… Best songs: Cross the Breeze Teen Age Riot Silver Rocket

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Honestly, if I’m in the right mood I can definitely enjoy this album which is surprising after yesterdays indie rock album that I couldn’t listen to Best songs: Cecilia Ann All over the world Worst songs : Down to the well Rock Music

American Idiot

Green Day

2/5

Don't love punk, but wake me up when september ends - amazing. As a whole I just feel like this album was made for weird teenagers in the 2000s.

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

1/5

This was a hard listen. It feels like it wasn’t all the way finished. I think if the production was better, and maybe the playing at times too, this would be a really great album. Sadly it isn’t. None of the songs could keep my attention for the whole run.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

Wow I really loved this album- her voice, the instruments, the music… all of the songs are pretty solid to me - but especially: The windmills of your mind Just a little lovin Son of a preacher man Just a really special album

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Amazing. But got boring at times

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

2/5

I mean.. I get that this was supposed to be a “draft”, but since I have to rate this like any other album - I wouldn’t listen to this again

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

I meannnn It was amazing. I can’t give it 5 stars but yes it was amazing

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

Honestly I didn’t think I’d be into this, but it was a lot easier to listen to and to enjoy than I thought! The songs weren’t too just all over the place. There was a clear vision and execution. This might have been the first album where I thought - this is just a great album. But since I probably wouldn’t listen to this again unless I HAD to choose metal - this is 4 stars for me

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Yes. This was great. Amazing ending to a really solid album. Loved it.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

4/5

Yeah I had a lot of fun! Loved the instruments, loved the singers, loved the grove! But 2 hours?????? Agahaah

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

LOVED IT. ICONIC.

Medúlla

Björk

2/5

This was horrible but it’s a very cool concept

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

I actually really liked it- it was very pleasant music to listen to, if I’m ever tired of my own music.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

I’m not crazy about the grunge alternative rock from the early 2000s, but I really really like the production here

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

2/5

For most of the album I really couldn’t find the beat but a few songs stuck out to me. And yes the production is good but how much screeching can I hear? Lil Ghetto Boy was good tho

Disraeli Gears

Cream

5/5

Great music, love 60s rock, I really hope to listen to this again and again

Me Against The World

2Pac

3/5

I think 2Pac has better albums

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

I mean.. anything other than a 5 is just crazy. This is a masterpiece
