Superfly
Curtis Mayfield
I'm no expert, but my impression is this genre--funk in general and blaxploitation specifically--is filled with forgettable music. Superfly stands out as a solid album top to bottom, plus major hits in Pusherman and Superfly. Mayfield was ahead of his time.

Blood On The Tracks
Bob Dylan
Great writing, but the music--especially Dylan's voice--is not for me.

That's The Way Of The World
Earth, Wind & Fire
I'd never heard most of this. I didn't like the ballads, but most of it is worth listening to again.

Hot Rats
Frank Zappa
I've tried to get into Zappa before, but struggled. Listening to this album through, I get it now. I can see how this band has influenced many bands that I love 40-50 years later.

not my style of music. it's fine in the background, but I'd prefer a half dozen other types of jazz.

Hot Fuss
The Killers
I don't understand why The Killers are so big, but this album almost convinces me. Thoroughly enjoyable, and at least three of the songs will sometimes pop into my head out of nowhere--they're a part of my personal soundtrack now. I have to give it 5 stars.

Live At The Regal
B.B. King
King's of course a legend for his playing, but his raw singing makes these often straightforward blues songs timeless.

One of my all time favorites. Two pop sensations, 4-5 more classics, and then Coldplay's best song (Amsterdam).

really like the first 4 songs. And they're pretty long, so I can give it a 3. Augmn and Peking O are hard to listen to.
