Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

This is one of my favorite albums. I've listened to Marty Robbins my whole life. I remember when he had a variety show on tv. He's the real deal. A true entertainer.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

5/5

Classic blues. Lively and true.

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

I don't usually listen to heavy metal music from this era. If I listened to this without the background of when it was created, I wouldn't think much of it. However, knowing the context and history, it's pretty powerful. I doubt I'll start listening, but it could definitely grow on me.

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

4/5

That was fun.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

A classic!

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

Love it. Capturing a moment in time with one of the greats.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

5/5

They have an beautiful, ethereal style that, for me, requires a specific state of mind.

Live Through This

Hole

5/5

Such fun. I'm embarrassed to say that I've always considered Courtney Love to be 2nd rate artist, but, again, embarrassed, I've never listened to Hole. This is great music. So tight with the era. My apologies to Ms. Love and the band. I've wasted 30 years of my life.

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

5/5

Very nice. Very much of the era.

Stankonia

OutKast

5/5

Oh boy. This is not my cup of tea. I've spent about as much time as 3/4 of this album listening to rap (or hip hop). It's a garrulous, joyous explosion of talent and fun. I can't say I love it, but I see why people do. I need a few more listens to understand it.

Boston
