When this album started to play it seemed the dog felt he was in trouble. He crouched low and looked startled and confused. The same for me. However, as the songs went on, I found that I began to appreciate the guitar runs and drumming. I never listened to Metallica. DId not like the yelling. Yet, I was reminded of music that my brothers listened to when I was young…Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult. The song Damage had my favorite guitar and drum runs. Who knew that I could still enjoy some of this at age 65. lol.

First time listening to Lorde.

The only Oasis song I had previously heard was “Rock and Roll Star.” My favorite music was in “Columbia” and “Bring it all Down.” Favorite lyrics were in “Married With Children.”

I listened to this album in junior high and high school. The lyrics to “Help Me” came instantly to my mind as I listened. “Free Man in Paris,” “People’s Parties,” “Car on a Hill,” “Trouble Child,” and “Twisted” were staples in my adolescence. I love Joni Mitchell. I love this album.

Would not listen to the album again.

The opening bars of “A Certain Romance” would be great to start a concert. Will have this song on my liked song list. I enjoyed this album. The group is new to me.

Would not listen to this album again; however, “Bingo Bango” was enjoyable.

Glad The Stones improved over time:)

When I listened to Lynyrd Skynyrd in the 70’s, I heard them as a rock and roll band. Hearing them today, after 40 years, I am surprised at how country their sound is; and, how unique the LS sound remains. Following this album, I listened to their 50 Years Live at the Ryman concert. Wish I had been there. Will listen to the Ryman concert in the future:)

First exposure to this group. Well, until I read that she had music on the soundtrack for Slumdog Millionaire. Fun to listen to the rhythm and beat. Would need to study the background to the lyrics in most of the songs in order to appreciate the depth and message. Her personal journey is interesting and full of challenges i cannot fathom. Would listen to her work again.

Favorite song: Madame George. Also liked Ballerina.

Not a favorite. Lots of yelling. However, Weenie Beenie was a good listen while trail running. Felt like a drill sergeant was keeping me motivated:)

Not a fan of straight country. However, Nelson earns his star status.

Another throwback to my junior high years. I generally like ZZ drums and guitar, especially on Master of Sparks and La Grange. Fun:)

Not my cup of tea. Reminds me of the time, back in 1978, when I was abducted by aliens outside of Roswell. Bad deal. Trauma resurfacing!

Already listened to this album 4 times. I love the Temptations but had not heard this whole album. Had not heard the Temptations’ rendition of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face that was a signature for Roberta Flack—a personal favorite of mine and my father. Listening to Run Charlie Run, Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone, I Ain’t Got Nothin’ and Mother Nature reminded me of the tense racial and political tensions of the 70’s… and how much still remains the same. This album expresses pain and resistance. Do Your Thing is a favorite—exceptional lyrics and rhythm. Reminded me of Soul Train TV show.

The lyrics were compelling. Could listen to this album occasionally.
