Bruce Springsteen
I feel sad and sleepy listening to this album and then WHAM harmonica whiplash... fully awake again until the next drift off, I can be damn sure the harmonica is coming back to wake me up though.
I don't really understand why it's in the list, it's a complete miss from me. A bit dull, a bit repetitive, a bit dull, a bit HARMONICA.
It's kinda like if your drunk dad got on the guitar at an open mic and tried to be Dylan.

Jack White
Not sure this brings anything *new* that the White Stripes hasn't already done.
Now, I like Jack white, his direction in The Raconteurs genuinely brought a new Jack sound, I'm not so sure this solo album does.
It's good, but I don't think it's ground breaking (does all music need to be?)
It feels like it's missing something but the parts that are there are pretty good, I enjoyed listening to this album.
Fave Tracks:
Freedom at 21

I've never really liked Bowie, this album has done nothing to change my mind on that.
Big production for less than mid vocals

If a medieval musician fell into the early 2000s electronic scene.
It's an interesting listen, I've never hear melancholic Electronic before.
No real stand out tracks, but quite pretty I guess?

Talking Heads
Starts as funky white music, and doesn't really ever achieve that.
This feels like they've watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show and tried making that into an album, badly.

Ellington at Newport
Duke Ellington
Okay, it's long - but Jazz is easy listening, right?
Yes, it is, this is great.
I did skip the announcements; I understand it's a live album, but I don't feel like I missed anything by skipping them.
First time listening to a full jazz record and I can really get behind this.

Kraftwerk
Is it repetitive, yes. Is it interesting, yes.
Did I enjoy it? Sure.
Forward thinking for 1978, sounds right at home as a video game soundtrack or late night drive.
I enjoyed hearing this and linking it to modern Electronic music that has obvs taken inspiration from Kraftwerk.

First time listening to an Elton album in full. Knowing a fair amount of Elton's work, this is exactly what I had hoped from an album. It's piano, glam Elton-core.

Obviously 'Perfect Day' and 'Walk on the Wild Side' are the standouts - I just don't get Lou Reed. Kinda boring, influential, sure but boring.

Waylon Jennings
I don't like country music, but the first track started and maybe I've just been listening to the wrong country music??
The first country album I think I would go back to, such easy listening.
It gets an extra star because it made my 3yr old daughter want to dance with me.

Dion
I agree with the ARTIST that this is 'funeral music' unfortunately the funeral was for my ears.
It's not the worst thing I've heard, but it's also not the best. Background music at a wake maybe.

It's metalica - it has no business being only one song and still an hour...wait, it's multiple songs!?

I listened to this whilst deeply angry with incompetent co-workers, and it was surprisingly suitable given the amount of violent, incoherent noise/rage in my brain.
I don't think there is any other scenario where this album fits.
