I see the popularity, I was there so I'm sorta over it because it was sooooo overplayed but it aged well.

Fleet Foxes

3/5

Meh, it's nearly invisible background music.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

It's Aretha! I can't get behind every track but I'm not hating any one of them.

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

Great 00s band, fun to listen and gets the energy up. A little on the angry side but that isn't a terrible thing.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Willie is sooo not my thang BUT this was such a pleasant surprise. I probably won't listen again but now I get his fandom.

1984

Van Halen

4/5

Some of VH greatest hits, good. I've heard it so much that can't give a great review. It was one of my first music buys.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Love the funk! Good listen with one of my favorite songs, Everyday People.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

2/5

Not my thing, too unexciting, not boring just plain.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

3/5

This is a new artist to me. Country Folk of my dad's or his dad's time. I wouldn't choose to listen but I don't mind it on in the background.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

1/5

I don't like the Rolling Stones, I couldn't get into this album. There are a few songs that are a little overplayed in addition to just not my thing.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

It's a great Johnny Cash album. Not my personal taste but a good listen. He has a style and these song remakes are interesting.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

2/5

I really thought I liked this but NO, I really don't. it isn't what I remember and I only got through 3 or 4 songs. I'd have it as a 1 star but kept one because at some point I did enjoy.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

It's the epitome of 70s alt rock with included radio versions! It is a great album but not something I seek out.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

I know no other Eurythmics music and enjoyed this.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

1/5

I just can't. I tried but I am not a BD fan at all.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Great album, very David Bowie, to say no more. Not usually in my lineup but ok if it is on.

My Generation

The Who

1/5

No, not even a little bit

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor

Lupe Fiasco

3/5

The longer I do this the more I realize most music in the background is fine. I liked this but I think it will take a few more listens before I love it.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Such a great listen, I come back to it often and will continue to put on regularly.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

So good, so legendary. I should listen to this more!

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

4/5

Better than I expected. Like a mashup of Spa music and 80s metal pop. It's just weird enough to be good but not weird enough to be too much to put the whole album on in the background

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

2/5

I listened but I don't remember a single thing

Feast of Wire

Calexico

5/5

So Good! Weirdly reminded me of the Beatles but not really, I seriously love this.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Legendary for a reason, a good 70s funk makes the day go so much better!

The Velvet Underground

2/5

Nah

Street Signs

Ozomatli

4/5

Bangers all around! What a great new discovery

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

Kinda depressing

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

3/5

Just not appropriate for work but otherwise not bad. Old school rap can sometimes be great but this one just ok for me.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

Legendary again, these are great albums for a reason.

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

I see the popularity, I was there so I'm sorta over it because it was sooooo overplayed but it aged well.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Aqualung is now icky

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

A day after Brian Wilson passed I get this, I'm sure it was mildly planned and I love it. The album used to be great but as time has gone by it's just settled into good. I guess time does that.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

Good but again another over played so it's fine for the background

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

Great album, not great if you are stuck in a van with your brother and he is obsessed with Priest but otherwise it's a fun go.

Who's Next

The Who

1/5

Nah
