Just your classic hard rockin British Heavy Metal band. Rob Halford brings alot of gravitas with his singing. Enjoyed this album not a whole lot of filler either. 4

I understand Elvis's place in music history & I love him but alot of these hits are done better by other people. He kills the vast majority of them. Still loved the album.

Alot more mature then Liscense to Ill. You can see their punk influences. I never really went beyond Sure Shot & Sabotage, but it was a great album

Meh. Not for me.Bloody Well Right is the best song. Asylum is an interesting song. Musically they great musicians its just not my bag.

Alot more jammy than I thought it would be. Solid Neil Young album.

Fantastic renditions of stone cold classics. Satisfaction & Respect are Fantastic

Funk, Funk & nothing but the Funk. Enjoyed it but I was a little disappointed and I've seen Parliament live.

Loved it even though I'm not into punk. Politically charged, interesting musical genre mix.

If your opening track is Being Boring boasting lines of Never Being Boring, you best not be boring. You were! Even when the beats picked up, I was still bored.

My first exposure to Nick Cave beyond Red Right Hand. I found it to be a bit uneven & long winded & over indulgent. When he hits though it can pretty interesting & dark. For whatever reason his voice sounds like a poor man's David Bowie to me.

It may sound cliche but I've always felt this album feels like being stoned without actually being stoned. To the dream like trippy feeling of music & voices to giggles & hypnotic heart beat like drums. You can feel you eyes deepen & relax like being stoned. Great Gig in the Sky is overrated. It's just a gospel singer screeching over trippy music.

This is a Missy Elliot exclusive review. Her flow is good, the guest rappers are good & she has a good singing voice. I just found it to be annoying & didn't care for it. She's really only on here due to her frank nature of talking about sex. Oh & did I mention this is a Missy Elliot exclusive.

I'm a tad disappointed. This nice bluesy, 60s sound that the British did is nice. I'm A Man is a nice cover. My Generation is a classic song but rest is meh to good. 2.5.

To get this outta the way, Bob Dylan can't sing. Even when he could "sing" he wasn't all that great at it. This bluesy album works in that way with his voice. Somebody done did break Bobby's heart & he's gonna tell you about in 5 minute+ songs that desperately needs trimming. When the songs are on they are fantastic. When they are not on, its just boring. Cold Iron Blues is great. Trying to Get Into Heaven just sounds like he rewrote Knocking on Heavens door. Decent breakup blues with long winded songs.

Pleasantly surprised musically how good this is. The drums can be hypnotic, the guitar pleasant & his voice is wonderful. I can't speak lyrically as there is a language barrier but I'm kinda assuming this is this culture's gospel music. I'll probably never listen to this again but I'm glad I did.

Fun, infectious 80s cheese at its finest. Boy George surrounds himself with amazing musicians that makes this better then it ought to be. Man Shake is hilarious. Very much a product of its time 3.5

Amy Winestone shoulda went to rehab but that's not this album. She is one of many stars that I like to call burning stars. You know, the Jim Morrisons, Hendrix & Joplins of the world. Genius who went hard & fast with drugs & booze then later died young but left a lasting impact. Amy Winehouse wasn't that for me, while others might find her fascinating, i was lukewarm on her. Her voice is undeniable, there's some good tunes here. Nice arrangements. BUT there doesn't seem to be any hits here. Mr. Magic? FUCK me pumps? I liked it, didn't love it. 3

Is this a good album? Is it Great? No, not at all. The problem I have with this album is: Sweet Emotion & Walk This Way are too damn good & seem way too polished. They almost stick out like sore thumb. Big Ten Record plays like drunk, horny Weird Al song but it's not funny. Round & Round sounds like they are trying to ape Zeppelin. I want to score this higher but I cant.

Pick a song, any song. They all sound the same with enlightened lyrics that they think will change the world. Connected is all you really need to listen to & you've heard the whole album. Fun & upbeat hip-hop electronica. 2

This is intriguing. I've heard most of REMs music but for whatever reason this doesn't sound like REM. You can see the glimpses of their future self. Its interesting to see how they have evolved as a band. The drums are awesome on this. Just everything that hits that sweet spot. I really 4

I don't know what to make of this. He looks he would be crooner like Sinartra bur it's more like beatnik spoken word poetry jam. It reminds me of William Shatner's attempts at singing but Cohen has some talent. His prose throughout is too similar in the vast majority of his songs. So Long, Marianne is the best song in a sense that it's a more melodic song than others. He is songwriting is good but I just see anytime I would listen to this beyond this list. 2 only because it's more interesting than good.

I've heard that early Genesis was progressive as I'd only heard their hits after Phil Collins took over the band but didn't realize how awesome they are as a prog band. Collins' drumming is amazing. Musically this is amazing prog music with face melting guitars & a flute!? With a dash of folk music.The songs run a bit long but thats expected for the genre. Lyrically though Genesis did little to nothing for me but I'd willing to go down the rabbit hole for more Genesis. 4

He sounds like the lovechild of Don Henley & Bob Dylan who doesn't know how to properly end a song. Your soundscapes aren't interesting enough to end every song like that. The songs tend to be needlessly long. To me the drummer makes this incredibly better then it ought to be. Fun upbeat keeping the flow really saves alot of the songs.

I want to give this a 4 but it's the instrumentals that drags it down. They are wonderful atmospheric songs that sounds like a score for an unproduced Horror movie with Bowie but they don't fit the rest of the album. The rest of album great I really dug it.

I made the mistake of telling my son about Music Boners but he said that was too crass. So I changed it to Music Errection, but that was still too crass. So I settled of Music Attraction. Or what it is that attracts you to a certain thing that just turns you on Musically. This album gave me a Full On Chub. While a handful of songs just sound like Brit punk, the rest you can hear the groundwork of early alternative music.

I'm really struggling to see why this is on the list or even what the "hit" is on this album. It's kinda sad when your best songs rely on guest stars, when the rest of the bands open their mouths, you can see why. There's some funky bass lines on a few tracks. Oh I enjoyed Ron Burgundy's guest appearance on flute in African Dance.

David Bowie is a bad man. Infinitely funky & soulful. All the funk converges in Fame, which is so damn funky it hurts. I don't think there is a weak song here. Loved it.

Critics really do like to glob onto anything that is even remotely different & act like it's the best thing ever. When really it's just artists recording their own farts. That's what this feels like. Musically the compositions are fine. The lyrics are quirky, odd & awkward. The only accessible song is I'd Like That, which I'd had Heard the song before & it's a decent song. 2

This is Morrissey? the douchey-ist douche whoever douched. THAT Morrissey. Well he shows it in the We Don't Like Our Friends... song. Other than that he's just kinda medicore. The rock music is fine. The love ballads are a bit much but fine. He seems like a sad petty little man based upon reputation for just meh music.

Horny NERDs amirite? I had fun with the album. Alot of the songs have positive messages which is kinda refreshing. Has a nice blending of genres. Some of the songs kinda blend together. A bit too horny for my tastes at times. But solid fun album. 3.5

There's a reason why Bowie has 9 albums. It's because he deserves it. This is great album. Psychedelic, bluesy with interesting lyrics & themes presented. This is my 3rd Bowie in the last 10 albums issued. Keep em coming. Another 5.

I'd never heard of this band before. I quite liked it. The sound is very 90s alternative but different than the sound of that era here in the US but familar as well. The piano adds a different sound. His lyrics are quite odd & quirky which I like. My few knocks on this is the songs can run a bit long & they all sound to blend together.

Would I want to listen to again? No, Fuck You. What the fuck is wrong with you? As I say this, I don't hate it. When it finds its groove & rhythm, it can be quite good but unfortunately they rarely maintain that groove. It ends up sounding like a cacophony of frantic drums & saxophone noodling. I could compare it to a panic attack at times but that's mean. Or the sound of infinite toolchests falling down endless stairs while running over infinite cats. Just buckle up & enjoy the ride. The second half is much more coherent than the front. So stick with it. I want to give a 3 or even a one. But 2 feels like the right rating. I kinda get what Zorn is attempting to do here: compress Coleman's compositions. It just doesn't quite work.

Not nearly as fun as her first album but it is superior. As the songwriting is much more mature, but also depressing considering her fate. You can see her depression in the songs & also she seems to have a submissive nature towards men. She shoulda went to Rehab.. 3

This is that Buster Poindexter guy. The cabbie from Scrooged! This will indeed affect the review. This album is Hot Hot Hot! Like a punk rock Rolling Stones with lots of angst. Buster's (I know that's not the name he used in this band) voice is gravelly & smokey which adds alot to angst, sometimes he sounds like the singer of Rancid. Which one would guess that he may have been influenced by NYD. You can hear their influence in the punk world.

Her voice is pleasant but not all that great. The songs that hit like Cranes in the Sky are quite good but most of the rest I just get bored with it & want it to end The music itself is a nice music collage. Songs start to blend together. I get it, there's strong themes here & its fine. Is that the reason this is on the list? Or is it because of who her sister is? I'm not a huge Beyonce fan, the hits on the radio are fine if that's the type of music you like. I'm gonna guess that Beyonce's albums on this list are better than this. At least, One would hope. 2 By the way, that's Master P on the interludes. It was driving me nuts as to who this guy is & why we should listen to him.

This was delightful. Silky, smooth compositions. Made me want to take my best girl out on the town for dancing & martinis. Maybe smack the Cigarette waitress on the ass after getting a pack of Lucky Strikes. Seriously good album. 4

So Teddy, my pug, does not like Welcome to the Jungle. When that opening came up, that head tilt & annoyed disposition & Axel began to squeal. He hid next to his mommy. This is not for a Pug Dog, no Sir. He proceeded to lick the air obsessively for 3 songs & fell asleep. 1 star from the pug. Luckily I'm not a pug. This is a solid album from top to almost bottom. Five standouts: Welcome to the Jungle, Mr Brownstone, Sweet Child, Paradise City &Night Train. Axl shows his sweeter side with Thinking About You. And of course there is that little layer of 80s cheese that you can't deny is totally there but you love it anyway. I listened to this with my wife & I asked her what she thought. She said: Its Guns N Roses!

Lyrically & sonically, this album rips. If you surround yourself with great musicians, you get great results. That's exactly what Harrison does. Does this run long? Yes, especially the Apple Jam but it's Derek & the Dominoes. What are you complaining about? It's a high & tight jam with George Fuckin' Harrison & a great band!

So the idea of the first concept album is Frank's Sad. It seems a bit lazy but it was a different time. Which is exactly what this album sounds like. Frank's the best crooner that there is & his voice sells it but alot of these are dull & boring. The music behind him is fine but it sounds like I'm watching a Disney movie. But again from a different time. I'm giving a 3 if only for Frank's voice & showmanship.

This is a great blues that explores the blues. You got country tinged blues like No Exceptions & Dear Doctor. Then your standard blues & boogie blues sprinkled throughout. Sympathy for the Devil is one of my favorite Stones tune. Street Fighting Man is raw hard song with nice piano bit to make it more melodic which I dig. Easy 5

This is a delightfully weird album with weird, far out soundscape jams. Dr. John's voice is both unique yet familiar & adds alot to the New Orleans flared sound but you can tell it's a Dr. John song. Which can go both ways: good or bad. I guess it depends on how you reacted to this sound. 3

This was....zzzzzzz... an incredibly.....zzzz...boring.....zzzzzzzzzzz...album! While the music is pretty it never really goes anywhere. If that's Eno's critique of muzak, than it's spot on. I've heard elevator music that's better this, it's faint praise, but it's praise. My God, he made 3 other albums like this. At least, it'll put you to sleep. I need a nap.

I would like to give this a 3 but its just that I don't care for this type of music, so when the songs go long, I lose interest Musically, I love the musical collages she makes & her voice is fine, rap is ok. The lyrics are where I just lose interest. It's fine if you like this type of music. Otherwise, mediocre. And what's with that weird panting at the end of All I Want.

This is a great album with a nice groove throughout. Moody but not as moody as I thought it would be. That might be because i wasnt quite paying attention to the lyrics. Overall I enjoyed it. 3.5

This album is unfair & frustrating because it is so good. It gets its hooks in you but those hooks drag a bit. That really is my only complaint of the album is: the songs tend to drag on & needs an edit. I found this to be a lovely surprise though it very much is a product of its time in a good way. 4

The hype behind this guy is very much real. His flow, his voice & voice effects confuse me at times. And I DON'T KNOW WHY? But I dig it. In Dick For Sale it's straight up scatting over jazz. In For Sale, he adds a childlike lisp. This dude tells the world & his own people the harsh reality of the world that needs to heard. I had gotten Solange's album a couple few albums ago, it deals with the same themes as this. I had given it a Medicare review. Difference between the two is the writing & sounds you put around you to tell your truth. Kendrick just does it better. It takes alot to impress me in rap & hip hop world. So my hats off to Kendrick. 5

Silky, smooth, funky fresh soul & r&b at its finest. The stark difference between the singles & album can be jarring but that elongated bluesy version of That Lady is just amazing.

A pleasant surprise of an album. I've never heard of them. This was fantastic. Horns added depth. Various punk sounds & also some surfer vibes too. 4

Light Doobie, Press Play & Enjoy!! The debate about all your songs sounding the same but still be amazing is a long & sorted one. Like acdc & Motorhead, this is Deep Purple. Face melting psychedelic hard heavy rock. Accept or don't. 3.5

This may be the best Ska album I've ever heard but I'm no aSKAcianado (I butchered that spelling) Every song is a different journey. Soul, metal, hip hop, reggae, funk & dash of doo wop. Songs about struggle, politics, sex & funk. Just a fantastic album. I wanna give it a five but for now 4.5

It's amazing how you can listen to something & have little to no reaction to it. I know what I like & it ain't this. Didn't care for lyrics or style of rap. The beats were meh & did little to nothing for me. I feel nothing for this. I just don't like it. No musical attraction whatsoever. 1

Why covers? She has a lovely great voice but you're having do cover songs. She does them quite well. Can you imagine if they introduced the world to Brittney Spears with a cover album? Apparently that's what they did at the time. She has a great voice & does a great job of these covers.

Atmospheric but at times dull. Uses music to build their wonderful world. At times they can be funky. Easy Money is easily the most accessible song on here. I have only really dipped my toes in progressive rock but this is indeed PROG. I listen to this & I hear how King Crimson helped shape Prog. This album demands an emerisive listen, so that you can hear all that they put out. These guys most be the Grand Pappys of Prog. Right?

Just your classic hard rockin British Heavy Metal band. Rob Halford brings alot of gravitas with his singing. Enjoyed this album not a whole lot of filler either. 4

Hold Me Cloaer, Tony Danza. Once you hear it, you cannot unhear it. And it amuses me to no end. Anyways, I love this album. The compositions are fantastic. I call them compositions because they feel like that rather than rock songs. Strong first half but peters out at the end. 4

Atmospheric, weird. The instrumentals are good & interesting. It's uneven though. Weird Atmospheric instrumentals then punk inspired rock. Emusik is a mixture of both. This is right in middle. 3 or 2.5

For some reason I thought this was an Electronica band. Its not, they are a fantastic alternative rock band. Various different song styles not be bored. They remind me a lot of Garbage but not as creative. This is very high 3. 3.8

The nicest way to put this is: the last 20 or so years of Jackson's life, he was a weirdo. He chose to be weird instead of making great music. This is great music. There are times where it sounds like a product of its time, the 80s. Lovely, wonderful 80s cheese. The hits are, well, hits. It's almost unfair how good they are. I may have misheard the lyrics in Dirty Diana but did MJ just imply that he was raped (or emotionally raped) by a groupie or shows his disdain for groupies. Messed up song but I guess that's the price of fame.. Liberian Girl is probably the reason this isnt a 5 star record. Its just awful. Too simple. Opinion: I prefer Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal. 4 Fun Fact: Michael Jackson is from Gary, Indiana. That explains everything.

Just your run of the mill British techno band. Never heard of em. They can build a good groove & great atmosphere with the songs but can either get repetitive or annoying. Sometimes on the turn of a dime. Better than most of the other Brit techno on here. Also I have the urge to put together a gang for some sort of heist. Which is kinda like this album: Sometimes I'm IN, but most of the time I'm OUT! 2

I get to listen to Abbey Road today! Today is a good day! That's really all that needs to be said. Brilliant, Bizarre Beast of an album. 5

Jack White always delivers. This is an album of his That I have somehow not heard. Though not his best work, it's still amazing. White always takes you on his music journey with face melting guitars & bluesy country licks. Always a showman. 4.

This is more interesting than actually good and there is a difference. The songs and music are pleasant enough but go on too long. I can hear the comparisons to Radiohead but they are just not even on the same level as them. The songs tend to blend together. Not necessarily a bad thing but if you don't care for the one song they keep playing "differently", you're in for a bad time. 3

I was surprised to find a bluesy bar band that totally shreds instead of Iron Maiden. Then The Metal Showed Up on Phantom and barely let up on the back half. This is a solid debut. Bruce Dickinson is whom I'm used to but this guy is very good. He doesn't have the gravitas of Dickinson though. Can't wait for Number of the Beast to show up. Soild 4

Zappa is niche. He is music for music nerds. That very much means that this album should be on this list. He tends to have perverse, Bizarre lyrics, luckily all but one is an instrumental. First & foremost he is a composer, who surrounds himself with the best & expects perfection. All of this is for his amazing musical experience but still niche. Amazing great album that the average person would struggle with. Which is why it gets a 4.

Groovy, mellow, psychedelic sound of the 60s. Personally, I'd prefer the psychedelic tripping balls stuff like White Rabbit than the Hippy Dippy I Love You stuff. Those are still good but to each their own. Different styles throughout lots of bluesy numbers or skipping through the fields with your lady friend numbers. In The Morning is generic blues song #362 that is actually pretty great. Grace Slick is best of the vocalists here it really shows up when she takes over in some of the songs. 4

The Psychedelic British blues band.that features Clapton among others is utterly fantastic but I'm find myself underwhelmed. Their singing voices are serviceable at best & where does Cream land on the list of great British blues bands of that Era. Let's face it there's a ton & they are in conversation. Just seems like it's been done. Kinda felt this way about The Who's debut album. It's fine, the hits, HIT & the rest is fine bur been done better by others.

Southern Rock Legends with all their legendary songs. Simple Man is too good & gave me the feels. Mostly cuz that was Mother/Son Dance at my wedding reception. I'm tempted to give it a 5 but it's a 4.

Silky, swinging, smooth jazz with Ol Blue Eyes smooth as silk voice is still very much a product of its time but that doesn't make it bad. Most of his hits are here & they sure are swell. The others are swell as well but still suffers from sounding all the same. I've said it before: If you don't like the ONE song they play DIFFERENTLY, you're in for a bad time. If you do, you'll love it. I enjoyed the album much better than the Frank's Sad album that is on the list but it's still a 3.

Where have I heard of the band, Faces? That's right. Rod Stewart's band. UGH! I dislike Rod Stewart & this album only helps that cause & fuels it. Silly, cheesy Lyrics, rhyming Judy & Moody, then Rita & sweeta. UGH! The band itself is actually fantastic & the music is impressive but I have to listen to ROD some of the time. UGH! 2.5 Rod Stewart looks like someone put a mullet on a pug & cut off the party in the back. Then squeezed it into tight leather pants & a white collared shirt with the top few buttons undone.

Sounds like a punk version of Tori Amos. Her quivering voice is very unique & adds a lot to the sound but can scream if need be. I am slightly annoyed by having to hunt for the album but it is what it is. This is a weird, fun album. Some of the songs seem to transition into another but its the same song. Dying Rabbit is a fine example of this: it starts out slow & somber then BAM something that sounds like a country hoedown with punk flare. Right back to slow & somber. Overall it was a pleasant surprise. I'm beginning to like punk more & more. I've never had anything against it, just never got fully into as other genres. I always found it simple musically but simple isn't bad. The old saying KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid works with music too. 4

This was indeed a wild gift. Punk rock with rockabilly sensibility. I got the vibe that if Courtney Love started a punk band with a mediocre Elvis impersonator in the 80s, it would be this band. I'm struggling between a 3 & 4 on the rating because the songs start to blend together. So I'll split the difference & say 3.5

This is a fantastic performance but this being the second Who album I've heard so far. They are overrated. The weakest of the British Invasion bands of that Era. That doesn't mean it's not good, it's just not hitting for me. It should as I enjoy Loud bluesy based bands, it just not doing it. As someone who listens to a lot of live albums, they translate well live. That's a great variation of Magic Bus. Their jams tend run a bit long & kinda boring. I'd be a Happy Jack if I saw this show live. 4.5
