Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominos
Not bad - 3.5 out of 5
Eric Clapton is always a legend, depsite how ignorant he is (we didn't back then what an a-hole he was).
TIL Duane Allman was a huge contributor which makes sense. This sounds like Southern Rock and has the Allman Brothers sound.
Little bluesy, some southern rock, and little bit of folk rock.
Not too bad. Good background music while working.

Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden
5 stars.
Their iconic second album. Missing a little something without Dickinson, but still one of the classic heavy metal albums. Great sound and dark riffs.

Prince
5 out of 5
One of the all-time best. Funky, groovy, party beats.
Almost everything on the A Side is a #1 hit. The B Side has some absolute crunchy bangers.
Great music to party or focus. Prince and the Revolution just make me happy!

Joni Mitchell
1 out of 5 for me.
No offense, I know she's a legend but Joni Mitchell is not my kind of music. Too folksy.
Smelly cat, smelly cat. What are they feeding you?

This is why I signed up for this service! So happy to listen to new music not from the USA. Great blues and head-bopping beats. The first two tracks are ending up on my Favorites List.

He is the King but I’ve always been more of a Beatles man. Some of the classics are on this album and some other decent ones. It’s ok!

Just not my bag, baby. Sounds like something from Mad Men (zubie, zubie, zoo). But I made it through the whole album if that counts for something.

Very cool, groovy, trippy, funky, not sure what that was! Upbeat, fast tempo that makes you want to move. New to me!

Willie Nelson

WILLIE! I am not a country fan but he is legend. Fire one up, and kick back to some outlaw country. Few songs were really slow but was pretty good overall.

I was transported to Miami. My wife came down the stairs dancing. That was well worth it! Great Cuban music to set the tone.

The first song was ok, and a few were enjoyable. The rest was, to say the least, difficult. Not my genre unfortunately.

From the early days of rap. Chuck D and Flavor Flav had great beats and powerful lyrics. Not related to this album, but I really, really needed this music after they gave me "Super Fuzzy Logic" yesterday. That shit was painful.

This was epic when it came out. Pumpkins were so different from all the grunge that was out there. Edgier and sharper - classic 90s angst captured well.
