Black Sabbath

5/5

Knew a lot of their stuff, but never really sat down to listen to their debut album in whole. Definitely understand why they are considered legends.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

Loved the random yelling and noises from what I assume was audience. Piano is beautiful but second or third one was too repetitive.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

I liked it. Straight up jazz.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

2/5

Never been a huge fan of theirs. I do get the importance and influence they had on music just not for me.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

3/5

Always thought aha shake was the first one, but realized I have heard most of these throughout the years. It's incredible to think how they started vs how the sound now. Definitely recommend this one, even if you hate their new sound. This is gritty, dirty, straight up rock. Vocals aren't polished, music is catchy but not poppy. Great stuff.

Tank Battles

Dagmar Krause

1/5

Pretentious. Not for me.

LP1

Masterpiece. 5/5. This is the reason I got heavily into this band. 2003 tour for this album. Group of around 15 of us went. I was hesitant as I thought Kid A and amnesiac were ok. Didn't get the hype. Boy did they changed my mind. Hearing these songs and others from all their previous albums changed my perspective of what a live show could be.
