Bouncy, bright, fun, clean straight up dance pop. Singing style has Michael Jackson influence. No surprises, all tracks have similar arrangements and 80/90s vibe.
Diverse, typical 70s folk-rock, raw singing. Beautiful album.
Range of 70s styles from acoustic, rock to punk. Excellent audio mix. Great intro and outro to classic live album.
A sign of things to come. Raw, heavy prog-rock.
Overall an enjoyable and varied album. Surprisingly peppy and less angsty. Some lyrics relevant even today.
Solid Who, similar to Tommy and Quadrophenia minus the rock opera vibes. Just straight ahead rock. Solid bass and drums.
Relentless, raw Fatboy with vintage drums and sometimes guitars. Lots of interesting bits peppered throughout.
Classic ZZ. Simple but catchy. Basic lyrics and structures.
Ok live album. The mix doesn’t highlight Jerry’s piano and vocals. But the energy is clearly there.
Typical “rock” music coming out of Africa. Clean guitar tones and syncopated playing, interesting percussion, full of energy.
Energetic new rock in the style of the Strokes, etc. Catchy, clever, engaging.
Pure country. Strong, clear vocals. Clean guitar, sounds beguilingly simple. Tragic themes but still somehow positive.
Rough and raw reggae, social commentaries, with horns adding colour. Quite different from the popular radio hits of later years.
Essential Stevie Wonder. Funky arrangements, soulful singing, lyrics with (still relevant) social themes.
Mix Police-styled arrangements but with female vocals (not angular like Sting but more raw rock). Good mix of songs and themes.
A genre defying instrumental album. Lots of mini musical ideas somehow held together to hold the listener’s interest. Don’t expect a virtuosic playing.
Early metal masterclass. Interesting arrangements and musical ideas. Killer drums.
Employing the typical 80s pop sound (Wham, a-ha) but juxtaposed with unusual song structures, melodies and lyrics. Interesting keyboards and bass guitar (in some songs).
Typical 70s R&B/Soul with funky arrangements and some inspired organ/keyboard solos.
