James Brown Live At The Apollo
James Brown
This is the first album, I dont listen to old music often so the differences are blaring, however i do find this sound very intresting to listen to and i wont say it is bad in anyway. The biggest change i can see is the vocals are way different than anything today and it doesnt feel like the music played is a background track to the actual vocals like modern music. It feels like the vocals are being used as an instrument instead of being the stronger force. Like an example is that there are times where he makes a loud part of the song happen in tadem with the music as the instruments will stop and then start again right when he makes the big noise. Lastly there is also a lot of crowd work in the songs due to them being live which makes them very unique. i dont know what other albums are going to appear so i will start out giving this a 80/100

Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan
This is the second album i've listened to. Dylan is one of the most unique musicians i have ever heard I think his music is timeless and the way he blends his voice with his instument is insane. If you said this album was from the 80s i'd believe you. I rate this an 88/100

Sea Change
Beck
This is my 3rd album im listening to. I thought it was very nice but it wasnt really my type of music it was the first album that is closer to my generation so i could recognize the music more but it felt too slow and most slow songs have to be relatable for me to like so im gonna give this a 74/100

1999
Prince
This is my 4th album im listening to. I really enjoy this one prince was way ahead of his time and he deserevrs all his fame. The rhythm is completely out of this worst and it manages to encapsulate everything i know about music. I feel like im just saying buzz words but i cant think of anything else on this album it just is revoluntary. The only thing holding it back for me is the descrepancy on the songs, this is the first album i've acutally been moving to the beat so far but some of the songs are so out of place i feel that i lose steam when listening to it. 91/100

The Atomic Mr Basie
Count Basie & His Orchestra
This is my 5th album i've listened to. I love jazz and this is a great example of someone who pioneered almost all modern jazz. You can really tell that the tempo and how it just soothes your mind really plays a big factor into this. Now even though I do love jazz, if it isnt live I cant get into it as much. If only i got to see this album live than I dont think i would be able to put it into words. I wish i did but i was born 50 years too late. Now because i rate this in a way that i would listen to it on the daily, I cant give it that high of score due to its 'backgroundey' vibe. 74/100

Murmur
R.E.M.
this is the 6th album im listening to. I think this album is great and the calm rock atmosphere is gives of is very nice to listen to, I dont think this album feels that different from most other soft rock albums i've listened to and is part of genre I enjoy. However there are definitly a few songs im gonna add to my playlist after listening to this song and even though i bashed it at the start it is something i would listen to on the daily and i enjoy it a lot. 81/100

Led Zeppelin IV
Led Zeppelin
This is the 7th album i've listened to. I love his album, just to start it out like that this is definitly what i wish to do when i use my guitar. I can see a lot of younger rock use this as a base when creating songs and being one of the first albums to do this is insane. I love all the instruments in this and I feel l like I could listen to a lot of these songs on loop. That said I cant give this that high of a score since the only song i could get attached to was stairway to heaven and rock and roll HQ. I will give this a 86/100
