Punk rock before punk rock was a thing. I liked this one very much!

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

Interesting! I usually prefer lyrics that I can understand, maybe sing along to, but the instrumentation was so good that I kept listening to the end. I'm really glad I did!

4/5

Some of the songs were a little heavy for me, but most of this was really good. A solid grunge album, it's obvious that Nirvana admired them.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

I loved this album in college, but hadn't listened to it in a long time. How many songs does Anthony need to sing about his dick? Ugh, it's just gross now.

5/5

Ah, redemption! Love me some Aretha!

4/5

Awww, the Monkees! My childhood favorites, I really enjoyed this

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

5/5

A classic, my favorite Dylan album
