Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

5/5

Loved listening to this album! Im a sucker for any kind of music with jazzy undertones, and Chicago brought that and more in transit authority. Some incredibly moving solos, some catchy tunes, fun lyrics, what more can you ask for from an album?

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Wonderful album, totally matched the angsty teenage energy of my day.

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

3/5

A surprisingly diverse range of sounds and styles, the album kept me engaged the whole hour and three minutes. Sadly, the themes and lyrics did not speak to me. Solid album, just not for me.

2112

Rush

3/5

A masterpiece of a rock album. Nothing says 70s rock like a 20 minute, 7 part ballad of electronic squealing. And what’s that? There’s more? Bonus content? I’m sold. Would certainly recommend to any hard core rock enthusiasts. As for me: 3 stars.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

4/5

A beautiful album. Loved the variety of sounds and themes. From love to religion, from funky to chill, this album has it all. 4 stars.

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Lowkey expected more from the velvet underground's "boundary pushing" album. Pretty solid nonetheless. Loved especially the title track. 3 stars.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

A phenomenal soul album. It made my day, just vibing to this all morning long. Would not recommend to listen and run if you're trying to get a pr on your 5k, but absolutely would recommend if you are looking for an upbeat, happy vibe. 4 stars, hands down.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

A classic. It's good. Great even. An impactful and impressive album even to this day. Shaping the future of rock and pop music in its own time and a timeless masterpiece in our time, the Beatles never fail to disappoint and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is no exception. "We hope you have enjoyed the show." 5 stars.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Pretty cool blend of styles. Unique sound for sure. Still kinda mid tho imo. 3 stars?

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Picture Book

Simply Red

4/5

Phenomenal album, beautiful combination of styles and sounds. From the jazzy sax/piano comping to the groovy, funky beats. Love it. Plus moving lyrics? Sheesh. Part of me wants to drop a 5 star, but I’m a chicken. 4.5 stars if I could. 4 stars otherwise.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

4/5

Ok sheesh! Jazz fusion is on this list?? Of course I already had heard birdland, but super cool to hear the other tracks on this album. Such a cool vibe and style.
