1/5

I won't listen to this. He will not get any royalties from me.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs · 1 likes

2/5

The only song I know and like is Maps. Most of the album is heavy for my liking. If I had an angry side of my personality, I would listen to this. Maybe.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

I appreciate Michael Harriot's comments on this album in the first chapter of Black AF History. I agree with his uncle Junior: "...Earth, Wind & Fire albums should only be played in their purest form, from beginning to end." Love, love, love.

Van Halen

3/5

Eddie Van Halen. I knew more songs on this album than I would have thought.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

I only know them because of the Hard To Handle cover and that is the only song I cared to listen to. The music reminds me of theme songs for TV shows.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

2/5

I would never listen to this album on my own. I can recognize Neil Young's voice and I do not know how.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

2/5

This was on in the background. I do not think I could listen to this for extended periods. It is easy to drown out, but I appreciate the guitar playing.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

Before I even listen, I know this isn't a heavy metal band. Ha! This album is entirely too long for someone who does not like the music.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

The only song I know and like is Maps. Most of the album is heavy for my liking. If I had an angry side of my personality, I would listen to this. Maybe.

If you have always lived with the full Beatles catalog, it is hard to understand why this album is so special.
