Beautiful renditions of THE authors of the Great American Songbook. A lot to digest in a single day

The album grew into itself as it went along, but in the end, not my cup of tea.

Some iconic tracks, but to me, there is too much false anger of the Slim Shady persona.

Killer start with "Good Times, Bad Times". What a way to kick off an album Never been a huge Zeppelin fan, but this album shows off their influences well. It's eclectic in its own way, but the foundations of everything we know the band to be are all right there from the jump.

Loved this album since it first came out. Owned it on vinyl. Most of these songs are still regular radio staples.

Classic and hardens back to simpler times for the genre

Not a huge Doors fan, but another killer track to open

I found that the genius of Hendrix was not really on display here.

Apt title, because most of the 39 minute runtime of this album is a study on the title track. Lmost every track is a variation on the original theme, which while interesting to a student of music, can be rather one-note to the layman. Perfect transition into "Mercy, Mercy Me" is a plus.

Surprised me. Very of its time.

Not as many bangers as his later albums, but the genius of Stevie is on full display

Not bad, but not my cup of tea. If Metallica, P!nk and Evanescence raised a child, I think Skunk Anansie would be it

Not the biggest Costello fan, but I liked it

Great beats and Nuthin' But a G Thang is a classic, but the album themes and use of certain language made me feel incredibly uncomfortable.

An album ver of its time. I have always loved the title track

Not a huge Oasis fan, but 3 stars for Don't Look Back in Anger

A classic that defined the band. While not a Green Day fan, I can appreciate what they've done and how this music defined the late '00s

Another album that just is not my thing, but I can appreciate the appeal that makes my kid want to have watched the Super Bowl lol

Felt like I was in the soundtrack for a Wes Anderson movie

Not a punk fan, but I liked it

You're a Stones guy or a Beatles guy... ...and I am a Beatles guy. "Sympathy" is a great opening, though

My 6th grade teacher rolled this album out to us and introduced us to A Boy Named Sue. I was excited to listen to this one again

Loved this. As a huge Genesis fan, this hit hard

No.

Honestly surprised. I was dreading this one, fearing it would be like last week's offering, but there is a surprising amount of subtlety and nuance for the genre. And there's a straight ballad, which earns a star by itself.

Not familiar with them coming in. Felt like a Mashup of Talking Heads, the Kinks and some B-52s. Nothing really resonated with me though

Would have given zero stars if I could. Literally mostly just noise.

I am giving this a 4 for the artistry, but Kanye is still an absolute POS of a human being
