A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

3/5

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Pleasantly surprised.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

5/5

A classic for many reasons, "Time After Time" would be the number one for me. Then there's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and through in songs from Prince and Marianne Faithful, definitely a classic!

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

If I could give it a 10, I would. The Who at the height of their power. My vinyl sounds even better!

Tommy

The Who

5/5

This established the band as Rock Gods. Hard to believe 4 guys made that much music. And this album definitely showed they were not just another British Invasion band. The beginning sets the scene for the Opera and from Pinball Wizard to the finale they rule! See me, Feel me, Touch me, Heal me! Turn it up!

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

3/5

I liked songs 7,9,10 and 11, especially the violin. Not really my thing, but glad I gave it a listen.

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

4/5

Surprisingly pleasant

Kenza

Khaled

3/5

I wish I could find translations for the lyrics.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

The See Me Now song isn't available on Apple Music, so I went to YouTube. It was the best song of the album. Not at all my kind of music, but I guess if Rap is your thing, it's not bad. The profanity is off putting to me.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Beautiful album. In this album, Joni starts to get into jazz. She was always growing, reaching. And intelligent lyrics-no profanity needed.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

3/5

I liked the music better than I thought I would. The lyrics, with the exception of one or two songs are weak, like a song glorifying shoplifting. No thanks.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

On song 3 and so far to my ears, this is background noise, not music. To be fair, I will try to listen to the whole album. But if song 3 was his first hit, I'm not optimistic. The song Rodney Yates was the easiest to listen to, but not enough to call this album music.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

Took me back to my childhood! Interesting that Leon Russell was on piano and Sonny Bono on drums on all of the songs. Sad that Phil Spector went off the rails later in life. He did produce some wonderful music. Thank you for this Christmas gift!

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Doolittle

Pixies

1/5

Cacophony

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

4/5

Surprisingly easy to listen to.

Femi Kuti

4/5

Although this is not really my genre of choice, I found myself bopping along to the music, getting things done. Some sad lyrics

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

Missy makes rap easy to listen to. Loved the song with Aaliyah, Best Friends

The Clash

4/5

Had this been an instrumental album, I might've given it a five. Loved the guitars! However, the vocals were off putting to me. Most of the lyrics were worth hearing, but their delivery brought the album down for me.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

I wish we could give more detailed scores. Because I'd like to give this album a 4.5.

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

1/5

Sadly, more noise than music here.

GREY Area

Little Simz

3/5

Another album that I wish I could give ratings with .5 increments. She gets the benefit of the doubt so my 2.5 will be a three. To be fair, rap is not my genre.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

I was listening to the album in the background when Burning and Lost in the Dream really grabbed me. Then In Reverse, definitely shades of Dire Staits. I'm gonna go back and give it an attentive listen. Have to decide which way the the 4.5 I'd give it now will go. An Ocean in Between the Waves is an excellent hard driving song. This album would be a great accompaniment on a long drive.

1984

Van Halen

5/5

Jump!

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Really nice album. Had it on as background and it pulled me in to listen. He successfully melds many genres.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

4/5

Surprisingly pleasant.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

Johnny Cash's last album. I think he was trying to give us what he felt important even as his life was ebbing. Really a 4.5 compared to his earlier albums, but he gets a 5 final from me.

m b v

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

This is not music to my ears. On Nothing Is it sounded like stuck on a scratch vinyl.

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

3/5

Not my kind of music, but some interesting lyrics

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

A bit too down for me.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

1/5

Instrumentally, I might've given it a 2, but the vocals made it worse.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

1/5

Could not listen

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

Joan Armatrading

5/5

Good memories! Hadn't listened to this album in ages!

Django Django

5/5

Really enjoyed this. I was immediately reminded of the Beach Boys at the start of the album and later into it, some beats that just made me want to get up and dance. Nice vocals!

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

2/5

Brown Sugar

D'Angelo

3/5

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

Another artist gone too soon. His music grabs you.

Heaven Or Las Vegas
