Dusty Springfield
2/5
I was familiar with quite a few songs…surprisingly. Not my style of music, but there were some catchy tunes
Aretha Franklin
2/5
I must give the queen of soul her due RESPECT. The album opens with that track, probably her most famous song. She has an amazing voice but her music is just not my style
Cream
2/5
I’m familiar with some of cream songs. There was one on this album that I recognized. I must say I don’t think this would’ve been my favorite album of theirs.
R.E.M.

I don’t think I have heard this album by the Boss before, I enjoyed it
Bob Dylan
3/5
Classic album, opens with one of my favorite Dylan songs…Like a Rolling Stone
Big Brother & The Holding Company
2/5
I have never been to familiar with Janice Joplin, I did not know she was in a band. This apparently was the last album with her on vocals. It was ok
Alanis Morissette
3/5
I remember when this album came out, a handful of songs got regular radio play. Good album
ZZ Top

Sly & The Family Stone
3/5
Classic album, another album that I have previously listened to and enjoyed

I know smoke on the water, but didn’t recognize any other songs..they’re ok

1/5
Not my style of music
The Streets

The Killers
3/5
Solid album, I remember seeing the Killers on this album tour
Robert Wyatt
2/5
This was a unique album….at first I really was not impressed but there was something about the later songs that were oddly rhythmic
Fishbone
3/5
I’m an old fan of fishbone, it’s been a while since I listened to them. This album brought back memories, it started a stream of old music that was in my rotation
The Allman Brothers Band
2/5
I guess I have to be in the mood for the Allman Brothers,, at times I like them, but I wasn’t feeling it today. Maybe it was a selection of songs. I’m actually a big fan of live music so I’m sad that this didn’t tickle my fancy.
The Rolling Stones

Garbage
3/5
Nostalgic album, has a few good songs
Pearl Jam
5/5
Such a great album, I want to rate this somewhere between a 4 & 5. It has such classic songs as well as a couple of bangers that didn’t get mainstream play…”why go” and “porch” 4.5 stars
Sarah Vaughan
1/5
This just really isn’t my style. I will be honest, I couldn’t even listen to the album in its entirety. I did think it was cool that at the very beginning they announced that the show was going to be recorded…funny how far we have come with live performances
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
Nice easy listening 2.5 stars

2/5
A couple familiar songs on this album. Not a huge fan of Neil Young but he’s is alright. 2.5 stars

Ray Price
1/5
I couldn’t finish this album. After listening to the first 3 songs I had enough. 1.5

Shuggie Otis

3/5
A band that I am not familiar with but enjoyed listening to them

Awesome album, brings back memories…such a good time when this album came out.

Pixies

Led Zeppelin
3/5
Not my favorite Zeppelin album but it has some good songs 3.5 stars

The album is ok, couple familiar songs
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
I can handle Neil Young for a couple songs, but after a while it gets old. This album is not too bad.
The Band
2/5
The Band is a group that I have heard songs of but couldn’t tell you what they are. I recognized a couple on this album. To me nothing makes them stand out amongst others 2.5
The Afghan Whigs
3/5
For some reason The Afghan Whigs were never on my radar when they were coming on to the music scene. I expected to be familiar to some of their songs, but they were all new to me. I enjoyed the listen. 3.5 stars
