Very corny… this type of music from the 80s really sucked

Aja

Steely Dan

3/5

Interesting… definitely sounds like the 70s but I liked the funk

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

I’ve heard a few of these songs before growing up but wouldn’t be able to tell the artist or album. Fun, funky beats

Van Halen

3/5

Classic Van Halen… Some great songs on this album but I’m just not a huge fan of a lot of the guitar licks with the two hand tapping

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

Hadn’t heard any of these songs before. None of them stuck out as being memorable or catchy or anything I’d like to listen to again.

Low

Weird… weird … weird!

School's Out

Alice Cooper

2/5

Interesting but not my preferred style of music

Roots

Sepultura

2/5

I could tolerate this more than the previous albums but I’m still not a fan of this sort of heavy metal with the singer just yelling at me angrily. lol

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

This was pleasant to listen to but mostly all the songs sounded too similar to me. I think it’s his voice combined with the style. Sounds all too similar to listen to for an hour. Nothing stuck out as anything Is want to listen to again and again.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

Lots… LOTS of sampling of news clips, conversations, sayings, etc… kinda works but there’s too much of it for me. The beats were cool and I liked the more rock-ish approach to hip hop than other stuff I’ve heard.

Not the best Beatles album that I’ve listened to, but was still great and had a lot of fun songs on it. Some of them I’ve heard them more as covers than the original Beatles cut, so this was cool to hear too

Play

Moby

3/5

I am not a fan at all of sampled music that has repetitive lyrics and just a cool beat behind it. Most all of these songs really hit on my nerves. However, South Side is so good it almost makes me a Moby fan. Almost but not quite

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

1/5

I don’t get it. I’d heard of fiona apple before. I’ve never heard a single song on this album. Nothing… I’m not sure now if I e ever heard a single song by Fiona Apple. And, I didn’t like any of it. I just don’t think I get what she’s after.
