Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

Understandable lyrics, great grooves. Appreciate this as a great example of the art and style. If this is not your thing, it still deserves a listen

3/5

Distinct for its time, bud does not age well

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

African jazz brought to America. If you love jazz, this is a must hear

Boston

5/5

They managed to make both the perfect representation of a rock album of the era, while also sounding unique A pretty hard feat The bootleg sounds even better.

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

Not my favorite Who recording, but a good job of bridging the music they came from to where they went

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

3/5

Psychedelia, a kiss of prog, a slice of mid 60s life well done

Disintegration

The Cure

A perfect combination of music, lyrics and vocals

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Great alt pop, even better from a "girl band"

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

The best stones album? Even the non hits are well crafted. But just redo the country style tracks

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Really 3.5 stars, just not quite there for 4. But a great intersection of pop, noise, end arrangements

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Great compositions, hits, and the best tracks are the deep cuts. Five stars for an occasional listen.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

Great if you like Christmas songs. Horrible otherwise

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

Just not for me. Musically, it hits a good note, but simply not good enough to carry an album

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

That is a lot of folk music in one place. It also packed lots of great writing, and timeless classics in one neat package.

Paul Simon

4/5

Superb lyrics, music that matches, and timeless hits. What more could you ask for

A Seat at the Table

Solange

2/5

Just not a fan of this vibe. I can't tell if it is "good" but I don't like it, or if it was a not good, or I just don't get it.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

3/5

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Any album that can have hits from Young Americans and Fame sure covers lots of ground

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

When elevators die and go to heaven, this is the music that gets played. A great singer, just not my style

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

Nothing poor, nothing great.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

There are some angry people here. Not my usual groove, but great performances, and great music win me over. Linton Kwesi Johnson would be proud.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

3/5

Lots of great little nuggets here. If this album dropped today, hits would still come off of it. Not quite 4 stars, but better than three...
