Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

All Ratings

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

5/5

mostly romance, lots of smooth and controlled vocals and really nice instrument tones. Very enjoyable overall

Frank

Amy Winehouse

5/5

really nice sound and iconic voice. I would listen to this again a bunch

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

i usually would dislike country but this album wasn't very over the top and had some good sounds I enjoyed, but I don't think I would revisit it much at all.

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

definitely a quality album. I see the appeal and eagles has a chill, strong sound, but I cannot see myself relistening to it much at all

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

2/5

I was interested by the sound at first, but it never really developed and the vocals/lyrics never interested me. I can rock with hip hop, but this seemed mindless and too punky for me.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Bob Marley is nice like that

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

2/5

2.67, good storytelling and cool sound but I would never listen to this again it wasn’t interesting to me

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Sounded musically authentic, and I generally enjoyed the instrumentals and vocals, but most of the record doesn't match my taste so I can't see myself returning

Femi Kuti

3/5

cool culture, great music, and I love long songs (6+ minutes). however, I can't see myself revisiting anytime soon

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

apparently I'm gonna have to listen to 5 more of this guy's records, and I don't really care for it

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

A little repetitive and generally didn't fit my taste, but the smiths are pretty good overall and surprised me with some songs like Well I Wonder

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

The Architect was groovy, but most of the album didn't interest me as much.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

3/5

definitely a vibe, but it just wasn't mine. slight chance I revisit someday though

LP1

FKA twigs

3/5

eerie, electric, unique. I like modern music that takes advantage of modern production tools. this just wasn't my vibe though.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

smooth, lovely, but I don’t like listening to the “live” part of this live album

Traffic

3/5

Good band but didn’t interest me enough to revisit any time soon

The La's

3/5

like 3.3/5. they had me hooked for a song but then would make we want to stop listening the next.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

3/5

I actually enjoyed the first half of this album, but the ladder half was much more disappointing for me. I also didn't feel as though there were memorable moments or catchy songs on this album, which usually brings me back.

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

I’m familiar with a lot of melodic rap or modern production in hip hop so seeing where it came from or the earlier stages of rap was enjoyable and fun

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

3/5

I see why it’s in here because it was politically relevant or significant for the time but this album was pretty boring for me. Also, I don’t get why it’s called untitled with its title in parenthesis

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Only a couple songs like Black Mud and Too Afraid to Love you were really grooving for me. Also, I don’t understand what’s up with this album cover. Most of this album was too average to stand out as a classic on this list. It’s missing the X factor
