Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

3/5

An enjoyable enough listen, though I wouldn't say I typically listen to this type of rock. It's definitely "of it's time," bringing a similar vibe as The Beatles. Maybe a 3 out of 5 from me. I could listen to it again, but I'm not sure I'd reach for it that often.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

I haven't listened to much Bowie in the past - definitely not a full album from start to finish. This was vibey and fun. There was stuff on here that I definitely liked better than the main song "Heroes." Would listen again - and will try out some more Bowie. 4/5

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

I really liked some of the voices / songs - some voices I found a bit grating. Would probably listen again, 3/5

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

I found some of it fairly boring, but there were a few standouts. "So Long, Marianne" will stay with me. Unlike some of the other reviews, I don't find Cohen's voice particularly annoying - and do really like his backing guitar work. I do wish he would do a little more at points. 3/5

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

A couple of standouts. I feel like this sound is not totally my vibe. 3/5

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

4/5

This was fun! 4/5

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

4/5

I had a good time - a few really good winners.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

I don't really understand the haters on this. Is it mind-blowing? Not really, but it's certainly fun, easy listening. I'd listen to more Simon & Garfunkel after this - 4/5

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

She has a nice voice. This wasn't really my favorite though - I think I found it a little boring. 3/5

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

4/5

Fun - not sure why it's getting the hate. Maybe some people want to listen to the boring white guys sing folk music from 70s all the time. 4/5

Take Me Apart

Kelela

3/5

I did like this, but found it a little boring overall - some songs stood out (LMK), but overall, this didn't grab my attention. 3/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Beautiful voice! 5/5

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Really loved her voice. 4/5

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

I generally love the indie/folk-ish stuff, but I just find his voice so boring. 3/5

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

3/5

I'm so-so on the new wave stuff. Some of the electronic work is great, but some of this just wasn't my scene. 3/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Rock on. 5/5

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

3/5

Maybe it was listening to it in the morning - it felt like too much. I can appreciate that these are bops, but I felt too overloaded.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

3/5

This was alright, especially in the beginning. Was kind of done with this by the time the album finished.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

Was it fun - yea, definitely. Will I listen to it again, probably not. 3-4

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Eh, it was fine. What a weird song to end on.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

2/5

This was pretty profoundly boring. (2)

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

2/5

This was not interesting enough to be over an hour (2).

Black Sabbath

3/5

I didn't like this as much as Paranoid, but still some great guitar work.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

2/5

Meh (2.5)

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

This really just isn't my thing, but some of it was fun.

Beautiful voice, though admittedly a bit boring at times.

3/5

I found a lot of this quite boring, actually.

4/5

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Way more fun than I was expecting!

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

This was pretty fun!

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

3/5

This was kinda fun for a listen - do I love it? Eh. But a little fiddle never hurt anyone.

Adele

3/5

Beautiful voice, but I love the more upbeat stuff more. This is a lot of ballads.

American Gothic

David Ackles

2/5

It's not like offensive or anything, but I wouldn't say that it's "good." I got like 3/4 of the way through and stopped.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

3/5

Kinda fun - not the best thing I've listened to, but still alright! (3/5)

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Hadn't listened to any Jethro Tull before. I thought this was actually ok! Not all of it was really my thing, but I'd probably listen again.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

This was good, definitely enjoyed. (4/5)

Blur

3/5

This was kinda fun - hadn't really listened to Blur previously. 3.5ish

Purple Rain

Prince

2/5

I think I just don't really like Prince? (2-3) Favorite on the album: Baby, I'm a Star

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

Feel like a lot of the reviews are not positive, but this was pretty fun. A bit much at times, but still fun!

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Pretty fun - I generally like RHCP anyway. (4/5)
