Bert Jansch

3/5

Good folk-classical acoustic guitar. Nothing "catchy" but great passive background listening music. Good guitar to study for learning. Some classic country sounds. Angie is an all guitar track that is good. All short <3.5min songs.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

1/5

Not a fan. Boring vocals and instruments. Not "catchy" hooks. No progress through the songs. Feels like a jam session with random moany vocals over top.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

Already heard most of the album. Good 80's electronic.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

3/5

A good live album with a bunch of good older hits.

The Pogues

3/5

A decent upbeat bluegrass style party vibe. Enjoyed but not something I would listen to actively.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

A decent British pop/rock album. I recognized “Alright” from some ads in the past. Nothing else too memorable. 3/5 would passively listen to.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes
