This album definitely feels like a time piece. I haven't listened to much of The Who's discography before this but I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with the Blues tracks on this project. While most of the blues tracks were okay, most of the pop-rock tracks were a miss for me. Overall, this was an album with a little more hit than miss. Favourite Track(s): My Generation, I Don't Mind Least Favourite Track(s): Much Too Much

Listening to this album was like jumping through many calm dreams and some turbulent ones as well. This album was unlike something I've heard before. I thought most of the tracks were good, but none too outstanding. Overall, I feel like this album would be great for enhancing an outdoor walk or for drifting you to sleep. Favourite Track(s): Olsen olsen Least Favourite Track(s): Avalon

I imagine this album helped shape the Rock & Roll genre. I thought it was okay. Most of the songs had a similar sound, and it didn't feel like there was a standout track. Favourite Track(s): Rack Me My Baby Least Favourite Track(s): Not Fade Away

Toe tapper, head banger, body groover are just a couple of words to describe this album. Every track in this album hits and I didn't find any that disappointed. Favourite Track(s): Get Innocuous, Time to Get Away, Sound of Silver Least Favourite Track(s): Watch the Tapes

It's hard to believe that there are so many classics on this short album. Favourite Track(s): Highway Star, Smoke on the Water, Lazy Least Favourite Track(s): Never Before

With this album, I can see why Bruce Springsteen is widely revered. I never really liked his music or this genre, or at least I thought I did, until I started listening and thinking about the lyrics in each of these tracks. The stories in each track are told masterfully, and the stripped-down instrumentals and the delivery from Springsteen's vocals emphasize the raw emotion in those narratives. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Favourite Track(s): Highway Patrolman, Mansion on the Hill Least Favourite Track(s): Open All Night

I liked the big band and upbeat tracks on this album. I felt like most of the sombre tracks sounded too similar to each other. Favourite Tracks(s): Let the Good Times Roll, Deed I Do Least Favourite Track(s): Tell Them You'll Wait for Me

This album has many of my favourite tracks that the Beatles have made. This project also has a couple of experimental tracks. I think the most interesting track here is Revolution 9, which I liked because it made me feel scared and vulnerable, rather than how it sounded. Favourite Track(s): Blackbird, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Rocky Raccoon, Mother Nature's Son Least Favourite Track(s): Piggies

I think that this album was decent. I didn't like the washed-out, tinny vocals. I had to listen to this album a couple, too many times, because it felt like most of the tracks sounded the same. This album didn't appeal to me, but I can see how it would for others. Favourite Track(s): Sneaky Feelings, Mystery Dance Least Favourite Track(s): Pay It Back

There is so much emotion, so much soul in this album. You can feel her anguish, anger and a sort of hope through her vocals. Amazing vocal performance and instruments alongside. Favourite Track(s): Love Is A Losing Game Least Favourite Track(s): Just Friends

Overall, it sounds pretty good and very theatrical. I would have enjoyed it more if I understood the language, although the instrumentation seemed pretty good for a live album. Favourite Track(s): Les jardins du casino Least Favourite Track(s): Les vieux

This guy rocks and rolls. Favourite Track(s): La La, Mardi Gras in New Orleans Least Favourite Track(s): Goin' Home

I liked the latter half of the album more. I didn't really like the vocals. I feel like the instrumental performances were decent at best. I can't say I'm a fan of this sound. Favourite Track(s): I'm Not in Love Least Favourite Track(s): Warning Sign

A funky album with every track being introspective. Favourite Track(s): Young Americans, Fascination Least Favourite Track(s): Win

Was this record composed of ads and jingles? 100% yes, but each track has a poke and a prod about culture at that time, which even has relevance today. I had to listen to this album a couple of times to get the meaning from each song, and while I didn't really like the sound they produced, I did understand what they were trying to achieve here. Overall, I didn't care much for the production here, but the songwriting was thought-provoking. Favourite Track(s): Odorno, Can't Reach You, Tattoo Least Favourite Track(s): Our Love Was, Medac, Sunrise

I couldn't get into the vocals, and the production on the first few tracks felt lacklustre to me. I feel like the theme in this record was consistent throughout the tracks. I liked the latter half of the tracks more, but marginal at best. Favourite Track(s): It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine), The One I Love Least Favourite Track(s): Finest Worksong, Strange

Impressive vocals and great performances from the band. This record is packed with upbeat tracks, with only a single song being a lower tempo. I feel like most of the tracks sounded too similar, with the only difference being the vocals at times. Favourite Track(s): Your Cheating Heart, Great Balls Of Fire Least Favourite Track(s): Long, Tall Sally

I can't say I liked this record. The stripped-down, experimental synths with the washed-out vocals didn't really tickle my fancy. There was probably some sort of message in the lyrics, but I couldn't get any of them since they were so faded. Favourite Track(s): Penthouse And Pavement Least Favourite Track(s): Soul Warfare, Geisha Boys And Temple Girls, Song With No Name

This record seamlessly blends funk and soul, crafting a raw and emotional sound. I enjoyed the songwriting in this album and the variety of genre mixes throughout. Favourite Track(s): Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away, They Won't Go When I go, Bird Of Beauty Least Favourite Track(s): Creepin'

This album had a lot going for it in the first half, and then it falls off drastically. I enjoyed many of the funky tracks and also a number of the heavier rock tracks. The vocals on all tracks were hit or miss due to the goofy sound. The last half of the album lacks the cohesive songwriting that it had in the first half. I guess not every track has to have an impact, but some of these songs weren't even fun. By the last track, "They're Red Hot", it feels like they weren't even trying. Favourite Track(s): Breaking the Girl, Under the Bridge Least Favourite Track(s): They're Red Hot

A great and emotional record. A variety of unusual instruments were used here, and it worked out well. The vocals are superb, and the songwriting is amazing. Favourite Track(s): Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Baby Driver, The Boxer Least Favourite Track(s): Why Don't You Write Me

I didn't expect the amount of doo-wop that was in this record, and I am all for it. I enjoyed most of the tracks, and there was enough variety to keep my attention. The highlights in this track are the blues-heavy tracks, especially in the last track, "Reconsider Baby", where the band puts up a remarkable performance. There wasn't really a lowlight in this record, but if I had to choose, it would be the sombre tracks, specifically "I Will Be Home Again". It wasn't a bad performance, but it did feel a little out of place considering the brighter tracks in this record. Favourite Track(s): Thrill of Your Love, Reconsider Baby Least Favourite Track(s): I Will Be Home Again, Dirty, Dirty Feeling

This record has its ups and downs for me. I didn't know what to expect, so I planned to see a bunch of folk tracks. I was glad that there was a diverse set of songs here. Highlights for me in this record were the surprise blues in "In The Morning" and the instrumental performances in "Embryonic Journey". A lowlight for me was the vocals. The vocals felt underpowered compared to the instrumentals, and overall, I didn't like the vocal tones found here. Favourite Track(s): In the Morning, Embryonic Journey, White Rabbit, Somebody to Love Least Favourite Track(s): Comin' Back to Me, Today

This is a record with a legendary first track, but unfortunately, the rest of the album can't match its pace. The rest of the songs weren't necessarily bad, but it felt like the quality had gone down with each subsequent track. Highlights of this record were the instrumental performances, the songwriting, and, obviously, the track 'Imagine'. A lowlight for me on this record was the lack of a lasting impression outside of 'Imagine'. Favourite Track(s): Imagine, Crippled Inside Least Favourite Track(s): I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier Mama

Smooth and sexy can be used to describe this record. Most, if not all, songs include a "sexy" sax accompanied by a bumping bass line. A highlight for me on this album was that saxophone performance. I feel like it just added a little extra to each track. The only lowlight I could find was that the tracks sounded too similar to each other. Favourite Track(s): Your Love Is King Least Favourite Track(s): Frankie's First Affair

There was a whole lot to love in this record. There is a variety of tracks ranging from R&B, funk, soul and rock. Highlights on this record for me were the slow songs and more R&B-oriented songs. I also found "Housequake" as a pleasant surprise; I was not expecting a boom bap track in here. A lowlight that I found on this record was the use of those '80s synths. Those synths are just not for me. Favourite Track(s): Starfish and Coffee, Slow Love Least Favourite Track(s): It, Hot Thing

This is one of those records that you play when you're working away or doing something else, but you don't want any silence. It was decent at best, but I don't think I was in the mood for this one. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future. I couldn't say I had any highlights on this record other than that all the tracks, except for the last one, were decent. I couldn't find any tracks that stood out in this record, nor were any tracks distinct from each other. This record just felt like a blend of one sound, and I couldn't tell where a track started or ended, which might be a highlight if you're looking for that sort of thing. I am also not a fan of 80s synths, but that's just me. Favourite Track(s): Ancodia Least Favourite Track(s): The Fat Shadow (Pointy Head Mix)

After hearing this for the first time, I can easily say this has made it onto my all-time favourite records. I was first indirectly introduced to Otis Redding from one of my favourite movies growing up, called "Are We There Yet?" starring Ice Cube. There was a scene where one of the characters sings 'Respect', but it was Aretha Franklin's rendition. After all these years, I'm glad I can listen to where it all began. I had many highlights in this record, but I'll list a few. I enjoyed the way that Otis Redding exuded soul in the emotional tracks. The saxophone in most of the songs was a pleasure to listen to. Almost every song on this record is legendary; it's something you've probably listened to before. I can't say I really had any lowlights in this record. One might be that maybe the tracks could have been organized better. The first track, "Ole Man Trouble," didn't hook me as the others did, and it could have been moved further into the album. Favourite Track(s): Respect, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, I've Been Loving You Too Long. Least Favourite Track(s): Ole Man Trouble

I couldn't get into this record. The language barrier might play a factor, but I don't think I could get into the melodies and the general sound of this record. I didn't have many highlights. I enjoyed the heavier rock-oriented songs in this record. My lowlights, as you my have I have guessed, were the general melodies in many of the songs. The language barrier was also an issue, but that's just my own skill issue. Favourite Track(s): Trem De Doido Least Favourite Track(s): Lilia, Ao Que Vai Nascer, Cravo E Canela

It's a technical masterpiece. With every listen, a new detail is heard, a new story discovered. This record is like an empty canvas that each performer contributes to and builds off of. Each performer has their chance to shine, and each of them absolutely killed it. Feeling Coltrane pour an ounce of soul out into the first and last track was a highlight for me. The loss of his presence in Part III makes you yearn for it, and it feels so satisfying when he starts playing again. I didn't have any lowlights on this record. This record needs a couple of listens to get the ideas that they were going for here. Favourite Track(s): Part I - Acknowledgement, Part IV - Psalm Least Favourite Track(s): Part III - Pursuance

This record was pretty groovy. I usually don't like synthpop, but this one surprised me. The good tracks were really good. The other tracks were just meh, but not that bad either. Favourite Track(s): The Robots, The Model Least Favourite Track(s): Spacelab

Lots of variety on this record, ranging from hard rock to psych rock. I enjoyed the lower tempo and heavier stuff. I couldn't get behind the heavier psych rock, but it wasn't bad. Favourite Track(s): Orange Least Favourite Track(s): Green

It's an enjoyable record. Live records can be hit or miss. This record, however, was more hit than miss. I liked the performances from the band and B.B. King. I thought there was good emotional delivery in the vocals. I was surprised by the lack of guitar presence in this record, although I loved it when it was there. The saxophone and piano performances were also amazing. I only had a few low points that I noticed. One was sacrificing some of the sound quality because of the live recording. Another was that some of the tracks seemed forgettable. Favourite Track(s): How Blue Can You Get? Worry, Worry Least Favourite Track(s): Help the Poor

I wasn't expecting an album from 2017 to be on this list for some reason. Overall, I think the album was okay. This record had a lot more lows than highs for me. This album was interesting and made use of a lot of different sounds, some to a positive or negative effect. The production was decent enough, too. Most of the tracks on this album were just decent. There were only a few tracks that stood out to me. Favourite Track(s): The Lightning Back Least Favourite Track(s): Slow Motion, The Architect, Ravenspoint

As much as I love "There She Goes", the rest of the tracks don't do anything for me. The other tracks were decent at best. Those gritty, harsh vocals don't do it for me. Favourite Track(s): There She Goes Least Favourite Track(s): I Can't Sleep

Pretty good! It's the first time I've listened to a full record from The Beach Boys, and I got what I expected. I enjoyed the vocals in this record. I feel like the instruments were sparse; it made the vocals shine more. My only ick on this record was the lyrics. Some of the songs felt kind of cringy in the present day. Favourite Track(s): Dance, Dance, Dance, Please Let Me Wonder Least Favourite Track(s): Don't Hurt My Little Sister

If this is a country album, I'd love to listen to more country. Honestly, I felt like this album was more of a soul or gospel record. This record is relaxing and dreamy. I loved how Nelson expresses his feelings throughout this record. His dream-like vocals make me feel like everything is going to be all right. I also find the faint use of the organ throughout many of the tracks on this record. Favourite Track(s): Georgia On My Mind, Unchained Melody, September Song, Moonlight in Vermont Least Favourite Track(s): On The Sunny Side of the Street

Some tracks on this record were so painful to listen to that this was the first record I had to skip tracks on. I understand what this record was going for. The genres that they tried to satirize just made some tracks awful to listen to. I think this record is probably important with the messages that it brings throughout each track, the experimental sounds (that didn't age too well, in my opinion), and the freedom of being able to clown on other genres of music. I found that "It Can't Happen Here" to be particularly relevant to today. Favourite Track(s): Anyway The Wind Blows Least Favourite Track(s): Help, I'm a Rock

This was a fun live record. Each band member had their own time to shine, and every track was strong instrumentally. I also enjoyed how well they worked the crowd. The only thing that could have been better was if the vocals were slightly louder. Favourite Track(s): The Boys Are Back In Town Least Favourite Track(s): Sha-la-la, The Rocker

I can't say that I enjoyed this record. Every track feels annoying to listen to, almost like it's constantly trying to sell you something. Almost every song felt like an annoying jingle to a soap opera. I think the only good thing I enjoyed was the variety of genres in this record. Favourite Track(s): The Moonbeam Song Least Favourite Track(s): Coconut

A short and sweet record. I enjoyed most of the performances from the band and James Brown, too. I think this record suffers from too much filler, and it being a live recording is to blame. The background noise, the audience, and the short set make it harder for me to rate higher. Favourite Track(s): Medley Least Favourite Track(s): Think

It's a good swing record. I enjoyed the performances from the instrumental tracks. All of the tracks were catchy and easy to listen to. I think that this record lacks a track that stands out. Favourite Track(s): Body and Soul Least Favourite Track(s): The Lip

This record is great. The production is good, the performances are amazing, and it's easy enough to listen to. Favourite Track(s): All Blues Least Favourite Track(s): So What

There was a lot to enjoy in this record. While it was solid instrumentally, I didn't like the gritty vocals in the more upbeat tracks. The vocals did shine in the mellow tracks. Favourite Track(s): Today, Sweet Sweet Least Favourite Track(s): Mayonaise

Every track in this record sounded different from the last. I thought that this album started strong, and the quality diminished as it went on. At certain points, the difference in sound played in favour of this record. As the album continued, I felt like the tracks were sounding too experimental for me. One thing is assured, though; it is interesting. Favourite Track(s): Re-Make/Re-Model Least Favourite Track(s): Sea Breezes

This was a mixed bag. I enjoyed some of the songwriting. Some tracks painted a good visual of the themes. I think that for other songs, the songwriting didn't connect with me. The first few tracks on this record felt sort of similar to other tracks on here as well. Favourite Track(s): Run to the Hills Least Favourite Track(s): Invaders, The Prisoner, The Number Of The Beast, Total Eclipse

A great album. I enjoyed most of the tracks. All of the good tracks, were really good. Favourite Track(s): Ms. Jackson, Spaghetti Junction, B.O.B. Least Favourite Track(s): I'll Call B4 I Cum, Stankonia
