1001 Albums Summary

It’s an uneven album for sure but the first side is so very good I will give it full marks. Naysayers need to turn up their radios.

Day 2: The White Stripes - Elephant 3/5 I like songs with one or more of the following: soul; witty or insightful lyrics; catchy hooks; a danceable beat; and an interesting groove. As you might expect, “Elephant” was not my jam. I couldn’t get past the incessant pounding. Favorite tracks: “I Just Don’t Know What to Do with Myself” which at least has a melody and “In the Cold, Cold Evening” in which the pounding subsides a bit.

Jones has a beautiful voice and the jazzy arrangements are tasteful. The songs are not memorable though and the pace is very, very mellow. It would be nice music to chill out to but I need something with a little more oomph. So it gets a 3/5.

I’m a huge Dylan fan and this album contains some of his most iconic songs. And he has the perfect voice for singing them. In fact, I think his sardonic delivery adds a lot to the message. This gets a very strong 4/5 from me. Favorite track is Mr. Tamborine Man - just beautiful imagery and a strong melody to carry it. Gave me chills all over again.

I fear that I don’t have the attention span or focus to properly enjoy this music. I found it intriguing though and worth another listen. But I have more than 1000 albums to get through so it will have to wait. P.S. Something about this kept calling me back and after a couple more spins this earned an easy 4.

Quite OK but not my jam. P.S. Another one that became better with familiarity.

How can music be this angry and this FUN at the same time? Absolutely love it. My own rage at the current system matches it nicely. Favorite Tracks: I’m So Bored with the U.S.A. and Police and Thieves.

This would have been tolerable if not for the lyrics. They are explicitly sexual and the sex is all transactual. It’s supposed to be some kind of feminist statement but it all boils down to women using their bodies to get what the want.

Some of it was almost painful and all of it was not for me.

Pleasant enough but pretty bland.

Enjoyable pop but uninspiring.

Spoken word angst is not for me.

Upbeat danceable pop makes for an enjoyable listen. No duds. I added Fools Gold to the generator playlist.

Day 14: The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen I really was not in the mood for exploring "the dark psyche of the '90s male". The album title is ironic and the songs seem to be a bit of humble bragging about the self-loathing of the “90’s male” and his bad behavior. I added “What Jail Is Like” to my Generator playlist but eventually skipped it so often I decided to remove it.

I liked this a whole lot, especially the instrumentation. The songs are themed around the natural world and love. A very pleasant surprise. Added “Disillusion” to playlist after considering title track, “The Shining”, “Pissing in the Wind” and “Say It Again”.

I listened to this twice and enjoyed it both times. Hours later I’ve forgotten which songs were which. Thus the 3 rating.

I love the Generator because there’s always a chance for a dopamine rush when you get served up a beloved album. I have been listening to this one periodically since childhood. Love all the tunes but I didn’t have to debate which one was going on the playlist. It was always going to be “In My Life”. Gets more meaningful with age.

I came in knowing zero about this artist and it was a very pleasant surprise. The Wikipedia article calls this “folk punk” which I didn’t know was a thing. To me it is the successor to the protest songs of Woodie Guthrie and Bob Dylan. Of course, there’s more personal stuff too. I liked all the music and, in the end, chose “There Is Power in a Union” to my Generator playlist.

Nope. Absolutely not for me. Rapping I cannot understand plus percussion. Didn’t bother to listen twice. Added “Paper Planes” to the Generator playlist.

Loved it then and love it still. Each and every song a hit. It could have been any but I added “Natural Woman” to the Generator playlist.

At first listen, I was surprised at how much more “country” this was than I had expected. On second listen, it really began to grow on me. Torn between a 3 and a 4. Feeling generous today. I added “Hot Burrito 1” to my Generator Playlist.

I’m in the early days of this and am trying to make an effort to understand the appeal of music I just don’t get. And I can see how this kind of raw distortion would appeal to young men. But I am neither young nor a man and it just makes me feel like I am being yelled at. The band does tone it down during the song “Drive” and that is what I added to my Generator playlist.

Although I am a big fan of Paul Simon, I had not heard this album through. Very relaxing and the two singles show a talent at adapting world music that would only improve throughout his solo career. I’m giving it a 4 but am sure it will grow to be a 5 with further listens.

This album was part of the soundtrack of my life at one point. Each and every song is a jewel. Deciding on just one for the playlist was impossible. I settled on “A Free Man in Paris”.

I’ve never listened to this before. I had assumed it was a low effort revenge album. It’s actually pretty good! Has a nice funky groove that makes it nice background music. I was not particularly invested in any of the songs though. I put “You CanLeave, But It’s Going to Cost You” on the Generator playlist.

A whole lot of effort went into hating this album. Nothing on Spotify so I tried YouTube Music. There was a playlist called Spy vs. Spy so I listened to that. But after I was through I determined that it was actually a collection that didn’t include more than two tracks from the album. Then I found some album called Spy vs. Spy on YouTube and started listening to that. This time I determined that it was not the real deal earlier. Anyway, all the tracks I listed to sounded like screeching saxophones over chaos. Sigh.

An album that makes me smile and want to dance the jitterbug on the darkest day of the year automatically gets a 5/5.

Someday I may appreciate rap music. I’m working on it. The rhymes are pretty good on this one but the beat is relentless. I added “Butter” to the Generator playlist.

Very interesting and adventurous for the times. “The Bogus Man” certainly overstayed its welcome.added “Editions of You” to my Generator playlist. I think I’ll be coming back to this one and it will grow on me.

This album has been part of my Christmas rotation for at least 20 years. Brought back fond memories. As far as I’m concerned Darlene Love is the star of the show. I added “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home )” to the playlist.

I found myself bopping with the music in a very satisfactory way. This would have been a 5/5 it were instrumental. The lyrics and the lead singer’s attempts to rap subtract a point.

What a beautiful album! It manages to sound interesting, serene, and experimental all at the same time without overdoing any element. I had a hard time deciding which track to add to my Generator playlist before settling on “Golden Hours”.

I had a mixed reaction to this one. It is a long album starting with many short songs. These seemed less psychedelic and experimental than self-indulgent and a bit silly to me. As the album went on the songs became more pleasing and I liked some quite a lot. I added “I Don’t Want to Tie You Down” to my Generator playlist. The track I liked best though was the medley of R&B covers.

I’m not qualified to review hip-hop. But this really moved me. It was like watching a movie or reading a short story. I was tempted to deduct a point for some of the lyrics but it would still be a 5/5. I added “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” to my Generator playlist but I enjoyed every track.

I love the Generator for exposing me to music like this. It’s like the band took rage and existential angst and exaggerates it to a degree where I found it pretty funny. (I have a warped sense of humor.). As for the music the drums are out of this world - the rest not so much. I would never listen to this for enjoyment but I’m glad I’ve heard it. And that it was so short and punchy.

I had several problems with this record. The songs mostly seemed half-formed, jolting from one style to another within the same track. There was very little flow. I found the lyrics pointless as well. Not for me. Ah well, on to the next one.

The singles from this album were all over the radio back in the day and for years to come but somehow I never listened to a complete Fleetwood Mac album. This is an excellent one with absolutely no filler. And yet I’m going to give it 4 out of 5. It just doesn’t speak to me in the way my favorites do. I added “Dreams” to my Generator playlist. My favorite song of theirs is “Landslide” but unfortunately that doesn’t appear on either album on the List.

All I knew about this band was hearing “Roundabout” on the radio often back in the day. The best parts of this album are excellent, especially the production, keyboards and harmonies. There are two or three tracks are more or less filler. In addition, I like my music rougher around the edges. So I’m afraid prog rock may not be for me . Torn between a strong 3 and a weak 4. Going with the 3 for the incongruous cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “America”. I added “Long Distance Runaround” to my Generator playlist.

There was a lot of variety in the tracks here which added a lot of interest to the album. I liked the ones that contained soul or jazz best. Not so keen on the rap numbers. I added “Complexity” to my Generator playlist.

I first listened to this when I was half asleep and found Morrison’s voice so soothing somehow. Listened later while reading the lyrics, which definitely do not improve the experience. The last few songs relax into a very pleasing bluesy groove that I liked a lot. I added “Maggie M’Gill” to my Generator playlist.

This album has been part of the soundtrack to my life for many years. It makes me feel like I am in a happy home surrounded with people I love. There is not a dud on there as far as I am concerned. I will probably add “Cripple Creek” to the playlist.

I thought this was delightful but I need to listen again when I am not so tired.

I was not in the proper mood to focus on this properly. I can say it is interesting and different without being inaccessible. I think I might like it even better after more listens but for now it is a 3/5.

This was far more bluesy and rocky than I had imagined and I really liked it. A nice surprise.

I can imagine really enjoying this on a dance floor. But I couldn’t decide which song to add to my playlist because they all had the same exact vibes. I finally chose “Let Me Be Him”.

This feels a lot like one of those albums made to capitalize on a hit single and containing a bunch of filler. I added the only great song, “I Had Too Much to Dream”, to my Generator playlist.

I had fun listening to this album. Not much more to say. I added “We’ve Got the Beat” to my playlist

Sorry, I found this ridiculous and not in a good way.

I never know what I’m going to get when the genre is metal. This is the hard rocking variety and there is not a weak track on the album.

Electronic dance music with dark lyrics. I liked it! Torn between a 3 and a 4.

I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this. Added “Enter Sandman” to my playlist.

Another album to thank the gods of the Generator for. Jazz + world + protest = My Jam.

Much too tortured for me for today. My opinion might improve on a relisten. I added his cover of “Hallelujah” to my playlist.

Old Blue Eyes sure could sing! And the jazzy arrangements by Nelson Riddle complement him perfectly. I added “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” to the playlist.

All these years later, this seems as fresh as it was when I first heard it. And time has transformed all the weird tracks into old favorites. So I wouldn’t change a thing about it. Every time I try to pick one favorite for my playlist, I feel like I am slighting about five others. I ended up choosing “Sexy Sadie”.

OMG, I could have died without hearing Rod Stewart cover “Old Man River”. I felt second-hand embarrassment for his little mannerisms which got on my last nerve. It’s really strange I don’t care for blues Rod Stewart, “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” Rod Stewart , or even crooner Rod Stewart. Yet Every Picture Tells a Story is one of my all-time favorites. Go figure. Any how, Jeff Beck’s own contribution is quite good and it’s definitely not boring. I added “Beck’s Bolero”, an instrumental, to my playlist. 2.5/5

This classic improves every time I listen to it. 5/5.

Willie Nelson has one of the most distinctive voices in music and he uses it beautifully. His simple approach brings out the tenderness in the standards covered. Pure joy to my ears. I added “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” to my Generator playlist.

I love Elvis Costello and he is in top form on this album. Three absolute bangers and the lesser known songs are good too. I added “Radio, Radio” to my Generator playlist.

I really liked this. I expect it will become even better with repeated listens.

Ferocious music loaded with rebel energy. Simultaneously shocks and entertains. I added “I Need Somebody”, which is nice and bluesy, to my Generator playlist.

Wow, I really liked this! Great upbeat danceable music that feels like a party.

So many layers that I can’t really grasp it all in one day. I found it less approachable that “good kid, m.A.A.d city” but I think it will improve on every listen. I added “You Ain’t Gotta Lie (Momma Said”) to my Generator playlist.

This album was definitely music to my ears. A better combo of message and funk cannot be found. I put “Pusherman” on my Generator playlist but it really could have been any of the tracks.

This artist was new to me. I enjoyed the album.

Metal will never be my favorite genre but I thought this was pretty good. I especially enjoyed the guitars. I added “Black Sabbath” to my Generator playlist.

A pleasure to listen to but it didn’t quite grab me. I added “Pitche Mi” to my Generator playlist.

I was excited to get this one as I have always loved the title track. But the rest of the album was not nearly as good and a couple of tunes didn’t work for me at all. So 5/5 for the good stuff and 2/5 for the rest. I added the title track to my Generator playlist.

What is the good of dance music if it doesn’t make you feel like dancing? This felt like an art project gone awry. Not a fan. Added “Valley of the Dolls” to the Generator playlist. At least that one doesn’t have the same spoken words over and over in a loop.

This was interesting as a time capsule of a certain type of sensibility in the late 60’s. But the band and tunes are just OK. I added the title track to my Generator playlist.

It’s Elvis Costello. It’s me. So it will be no surprise to anyone that I gave this album of 5/5. I added “Man Out of Time” to my Generator playlist.

This album has three 5/5 hits and several songs illustrating that Jim Morrison was not the “poet” he claimed to be. Nevertheless, he had one of the greatest voices in Rock & Roll history and those hits are pure nostalgia to me. Reminds me of being in L.A. headshops at the time.

Based on the description I had low expectations and they were not exceeded. Not offensive but in my opinion pretty dull. I saved “Sunday Shining”.

This was pleasant enough to listen to but did not really grab me.

Such beautiful and interesting floaty music. I loved this. Saved “… la femme D’argent”.

I should have listened to this years ago. A gem. I saved “Coyote”.

No. Not for me.

Great soul singing, a groove, but the songs don’t seem all that memorable. I guess titles can’t be copyrighted but I was looking forward to a cover with “Just My Imagination”. No such luck but that’s what I’m adding to my Generator playlist.

No complaints but it just did not excite me in any way. I added the single “It Doesn’t Matter” to my Generator playlist.

La Grange was a blast. The rest was OK.

Beautiful floaty ethereal music. I could have done without the spoken word track at the end. I added “Playground Love” to my Generator Playlist.

I thought this was GREAT! I’ve mainly known Cohen from his greatest hits. The songs on this are much less serious and arty. Some are downright amusing. I love the one about the jazz police. And this feels like real music, down to the backup singers.

Some tracks were instant classics and others were …. Debating between a strong 3 or weak 4. Stevie Nicks’s songs were my favorites. I think she had one of the best voices in the business. I added “Sara” to my Generator playlist.

Tim Buckley is a talented singer but sucks as a lyricist. His sexual exploits are not sexy but vaguely ridiculous. Less Marvin Gaye than This Is Spinal Tap. Perhaps he was influenced by “Deep Throat” which was a sensation the same year. I saved “Nighthawkin” to my Generator playlist.

This is not the music of my youth, but you can easily see why it would be emblematic of another generation’s youth. The energy just never stops. It’s electric. I added “Lithium” to my Generator playlist.

I’m not a math major but I think this works better when you don’t pay attention to the words. I added the title track to my Generator playlist.

I loved this. The poignant questioning songs were a perfect fit for my rather morose mood of today. I added “Candy Says” to my Generator -playlist.

I was more of a Beatles fan back in the day and I don’t know that I’ve ever listened to one of their albums all the way to rough. Of course their hits were inescapable. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Misogyny and all. I added “Doncha Bother Me” to my playlist.

Not bad! I added “Use Somebody” to my Generator playlist

A roommate had this album back in the day and I have always loved it. I had forgotten how sad the story is though. Willie Nelson’s voice so perfect for conveying the loneliness of a fugitive preacher. All the tracks are great. I ended up adding “Hands on the Wheel” to my Generator playlist.

Are you kidding me? Really? It’s like these guys were going for a humorous take on love similar to 69 Love Songs but without that album’s wit or musicality. The lyrics have to be heard to fully appreciate their atrociousness. Emphatically not for me. I added “In the Pursuit of Happiness” to my Generator playlist. It was the shortest track.

This was good until the last few songs, which I skipped on my second listen. A single album might have got a 4/5. I added “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?” To my Generator Playlist,

These are songs written to accompany plays by Berthold Brecht. They are strident and very theatrical. I think the interpretation was probably exactly what the composer and lyricist intended. But give me Kurt Weil for Brecht. Not something I want to hear again. This one isn’t on Spotify so nothing to add to my playlist.

I liked this and think I might like it more with a few more listens. I added “When We Were Young” to my Generator playlist.

Lovely. I added Boulder to Birmingham to my Generator playlist.

I’m not sure why this sounds like heavy metal to me. Not a fan.

97 albums in and I finally get one by David Bowie! He did not disappoint. I added “The Prettiest Star” to my Generator playlist.

Well, that was a powerful experience …. Not one I necessarily want to repeat, though. It was interesting as a reaction to the Rodney King verdict and subsequent unrest. I added “It Was a Good Day” to my Generator playlist.

Not my genre but I thought this was pretty good! I added “Born to Be Busy” to my Generator playlist.

Love the voice and the music. Could do with some cheerier lyrics every once in awhile however. I added “High and Dry” to my Generator playlist.

I’ve had three hip hop albums in four days and, to my astonishment, this was head and shoulders above the others. I think the guy is a complete asshat but damn could he put together a richly layered track. And not once but every time. I added “Runaway” to my Generator playlist.

It’s nice to listen to pleasant acoustic love songs once in a while. Nice but not exciting. I added “Babylon” to my Generator playlist.

I don’t know. I really don’t like the way Thom Yorke swallows his words so you can’t understand him. But then when I see they are “I’m an animal trapped in your hot car”, I think that may be for the best. I added “Jigsaw Falling Into Place” to my Generator playlist.

A relaxing and enjoyable listen. I added “Minawa” to my Generator playlist.

Really? Bad hip hop meets bad electronica. Definitively not for me. I added “Hold Ya Mouf” to my Generator playlist. It was the shortest track.

I was a bit afraid there would be a lot of filler but no. It’s all quite groovy and fun. I love The Temptations. I saved the title track to my Generator playlist.

I like the psychedelic tracks more than the folk tracks. Fortunately almost all of them are psychedelic and a pure pleasure to listen to. I added “Season of the Witch” to my Generator playlist.

This is the kind of Freeform Jazz I am struggling to appreciate. No denying the playing is good.

Fun album! I added “Some Candy Coming” to my Generator playlist.

This is not my kind of music but I can tell it was very good at what it was trying to do. I added “Orion” to my Generator playlist.

I’ve been curious about this album for so long. Sorry it took until today to give it a listen. I wasn’t disappointed. I love her supple voice, her rage and her wit. I added “Head Over Feet” to my Generator playlist.

I listened quite a while before realizing there was very little swearing and no references to bitches or hoes. Just good beats and pointed commentary on the lot of men on the mean streets. I added “I Don’t Wanna Be Called Yo Niga” to my Generator playlist.

This was OK. It didn’t grab me in any way. I added “Blueski” to my Generator playlist.

I was surprised at how poppy this album was. I didn’t object. I added “United” to my Generator playlist.

The highs are very high. And the lows are pretty good too. I added “Love in Vain” to my Generator playlist.

This was better than I thought it would be given the ratings. I liked the jazzy bits best. I added “You’re the Best Thing” to my Generator playlist.

This is good fun and the beat is infectious. I slightly prefer the group’s first album. I added “International Robots” to my Generator playlist. 3.5/5

Enjoyed this but the I think it would need a few more listens for me to fully get it.

Somehow I had never heard this before. I like the bluesy vibe. I added “Debris” to my Generator playlist.

It was OK but not something I want to listen to again. And I actually like classic Neil Young. I added “Mansion on the Hill” to my Generator playlist.

In think this does what it aims to do very well. But what it aims to do is not for me. I added “Cranes at the Table” to my Generator playlist.

Interesting and varied for the whole two hours. I added “Beautiful” to my playlist. 4.5/5

I thought this was quite OK. I don’t understand the low user rating. Maybe saxophone haters? I added “Blue Moon Rose” to my playlist but my favorite was their cover of “I Don’t Want to Talk About it”.

Really loved this. Well, “Coconut” was a little weird but the second time through, I even enjoyed that one. I added “Without You” to my playlist.

Had always been hesitant about the Mothers but needn’t have been! Some of it is mighty silly but it’s balanced out with some really nice playing. Overall a winner. Added “Trouble Every Day” to the playlist.

Exceeded my expectations! I added “Reconsider Baby” to my playlist. His rendition of “Fever” is also very good.

Liked Lynyrd Skynyrd and love the way these guys rock and thought they had something to say. Might be one of the discoveries on this project that will stick with me. Thought no way will I listen to something as long as this twice in one day but something drew me back to it. I added “72 (This Highway’s Mean) to the playlist. 5/5.

I knew this would be a 5/5 before I started listening. I never ceases to delight me from beginning to end. I added “The Myth of Fingerprints” to my playlist but I love every single track.

I thought this was OK. Didn’t exactly get my blood pounding. I added “Two Weeks” to my playlist.

I love punk music but this was so, so not for me. Spoken word ranting over garage band level music.

This is probably good heavy metal. But it is simply not something I enjoy.

Nice orchestral popish music with arty lyrics which is the kind of thing that might grow on me.

I admire musicians who commit to an idea and attack it with all their energy. The drums in particular are fantastic. On the other hand, I’m not likely to reach for something so consistently hostile. I added “Self Esteem” to my playlist.

Just as good as I remembered! Makes me want to experience it ay an outdoor concert with the smell of sweet ganja in the air. I added “Oye Como Va” to my playlist.

This passed me buy back in the day. I really enjoyed the music. I’m not much for depressive lyrics.

Charmingly idiosyncratic and worth further exploration.

Love this.

Kate Bush seems to be an acquired taste that I am having difficulty acquiring.

The first few tracks sounded like calls to prayer to my untrained ear. Then the fusion started happening and it got really good. I added “Olel” to my playlist.

Blondie always has been and always will be a blast. One of the funnest records ever. I added “One Way or Another” to my playlist.

A roommate played this a lot in my youth and I grew to love it. The standouts are well-known - the title track and “Vincent” - but I think all the tunes are superior singer-songwriter fair. I added “Everybody Loves Me Baby” to my playlist for something a little different.

No matter what you may think about Eric Clapton, he sure could play the guitar at this time of his life. I added “… All Your Love” to my playlist.

Very nice but somehow it didn’t grab me. I added “Watermelon Man” to my playlist.

Fun live album. I added “Surrender” to my playlist.

I had not heard The Smiths before! Another reason to be grateful to the generator. I added “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore” to my playlist.

If all the songs were as good as “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”, it would be perfect. As it is, it’s only very good. Guess what I added to my playlist.

Running out of steam tonight. I liked it. I added “Clint Eastwood” to my playlist.

Jackie Wilson and I were in heaven listening to this. I added “Domino” to my playlist. There’s not a weak track on here.

I think I need to know this one better. It’s my first acquaintance with Bjork and I don’t know quite what to think. I added “Heirloom” that my playlist.

Great album! I added “All Along the Watchtower” to my -laylist.

I was so excited for this after loving Dark and Twisted Fantasy. Alas, I struggled to enjoy anything about this one. Not even Lou Reed’s review could convince me. I added “Bound 2” to my playlist.

I prefer “One of These Nights” to this album but it does contain a couple of bangers. I added “Life in the Fast Lane” to my playlist as it is less heard than the title tune.

This was quite OK. Nothing earth shattering. I added “When I Dream” to my playlist.

Loved this! Unique and a little weird and fun, fun, fun. I added “Please Do Not Go” to my playlist.

Very, very nice. I added the title track to my playlist.

I always thought “Night Life” was an R&B song. That and “Honkey Tonk Angels” were the highlights of this fairly pedestrian album. I added the title track to my playlist.

I loved his banter with the audience! Can you imagine this in a 2026 prison? Very enjoyable. I added “San Quentin, Reprise” to my playlist. 4/5.

I never listened to KISS back in the day. Maybe it was on the radio but I don’t remember it. This was better than I expected. Just basic music to rock out to, with a little bit of out-of-place pretension.

Dopey good fun! I added “California Sun” to my playlist.

Fantastic album. I had a hard time choosing which song to put on my playlist. I went with “Purple Haze”.

I’m in the John camp. But I do think he did better with band mates who restrained his more self-indulgent side. The song “Imagine” is absolutely a classic. I added “Oh My Love” to my playlist because I hear it so much less often.

One of my favorite discoveries from the Generator. I had low expectations going in and the first 30 seconds is noise, albeit interesting noise but after that it was delightful. There is plenty of synthesizer but this band did not forget about melody and beat. Maybe Hookworms stands for good hooks? I haven’t decided which track I will put on my playlist.

I actually owned this CD at one time. Hated it then, hated it now.

I’m not a math genius or anything but I thought this was excellent as long as I kind of filtered out the lyrics. I saved “The Real Slim Shady” to my playlist.

Pleasant singer-songwriter acoustic folk. The tunes began to run together after a while. | added “Needle of Death” to my playlist.

Country music with a dark and folky twist. I added “In the Pines” to my playlist.

I thought this was very interesting. Did not expect so much rhythm in something called goth rock. I added “Harry” to my playlist

Absolutely not for me. There were times I thought it was getting good and then the singer would start bellowing again. So sorry. I added “One Step Closer” to my playlist.

Very nice. I added “Cruising’” to my playlist.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I could not endure the relentless noise. I added “Seven Seas” to my playlist. It is the shortest track.

I respect the rage but do not like the music much. I added “Killing in the Name” to my playlist.

Now that was a pleasure to listen to. Good melodies, good harmony, good playing. I saved “Thirteen” to my playlist.

Political rap. I appreciate the sentiments but much of it comes off as a lecture. I added INS Greencard A-19 191 500" to my playlist.

I liked this a lot. Need to listen to it some more. I added the title track to my playlist though all the songs were good.

The band’s greatest hits performed live and with gusto. What’s not to like?

I enjoyed this. It’s nice to listen to an album of love songs once in a while. I added “… Love Goes On!” to my playlist.

This was interesting. Lemper has a big theatrical voice that made me think she would be great for singing a theme song for a James Bond movie. She didn’t quite win me over. I added the title tune to my playlist.

If the only song was “Papa Was a Rolling Stone”, this would be perfect. And so I have added that to my playlist.

I loved this one, especially the witty pointed lyrics. I added “Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You into Heaven Anymore” to my playlist.

I won’t criticize what I can’t understand. I added “Children of the Damned” to my playlist.

I’d been looking forward to this and it didn’t disappoint. Have always loved “Time of the Season” and added it to my playlist.

I love Bowie. I named my orange cat after him. But I’ve never tried his full albums. This was excellent but I think they may need some getting used to. I added the awesome title track to my playlist.

I found this more enjoyable than a lot of the electronics I have generated but I liked it less the second time I listened to it. I think I’ll give it a 3 and see if it starts growing on me. I added “Epie” to my playlist.
