Back to Basics
Christina Aguilera
I enjoyed Back to Basics more than I thought I would. Well produced; she has a strong voice; different music styles including some throwbacks, quazi-swing (Candy Man). Not my preference, but I would be happy to have it as background music.

Songs In The Key Of Life
Stevie Wonder
If there were a Mt. Rushmore of musicians, Stevie Wonder would have to be on it. He's a national treasure. Classic album, iconic songs. Songs in the Key of Life is five stars plus.

Aqualung
Jethro Tull
Someone called Aqualung music for Hobbits, and to me it's like RenFaire music. Yeah, I can totally imagine listening to this album in the Shire. No one plays the flute like Ian Anderson, and I can't think of any other group's music that sounds like Jethro Tull. Like taking a trip to a far-off land. Five stars.

In Utero
Nirvana
I'm still sad about Kurt Cobain's suicide. He was too pure and sensitive for this harsh world that too often doesn't appreciate artists. That said, I enjoyed the classic Nirvana songs. All Apologies is one of the all-time greats.
This is my first time listening to In Utero all the way through. Aside from the classics, I didn't so much enjoy the others. I appreciate his anger, though. Some tracks were not to my taste, so I rate this four stars, while acknowledging Nirvana's immense impact and influence on rock music.

Youth And Young Manhood
Kings of Leon
One time through was enough. It's all right, but not my favorite. Wouldn't seek it out. 2.5 stars
