Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

This is one of those disco staples you can’t help but move to. For me, it just feels overall playful and purely created to trigger dance and fun. Two songs I could not prevent myself from forwarding, they seemed so repetitive and poppy. But Overall though this list brings backyard memories and got me grooving.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

2/5

I know this is so classic, and I do love thriller. But really this block is also very reminiscent of Off the Wall to me and is similar pop tunes. I’d love the background noise but would not choose this for the feels I need music for.

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

This is in my personal top albums, I find it dense and layered and emotionally powerful. Even after all here years in hear it the same each time.

Van Halen

3/5

Powerful classic rock goodness with all the teenage nostalgia blended in

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

2/5

I just can’t do it - the majority of songs except two I find draggy and torturous.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

2/5

I’m glad to learn this musical selection, but would not ever turn to this style by choice. It was fun and felt like I was outside doing the salsa to sunset with a drink in my hand while laughing.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

2/5

This artist has a way of articulating her words that began grating on my nerves. Music was typical of the 80’s and I missed it the first go around in high school. Not really a miss.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

This collection found me on Christmas so it was perfect - curated and classic. I think I am just drawn to classics.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Missed it the first go round and found it heart pumping and fun!

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

The uniqueness and tone of this block of songs does make it riveting, but many songs sound the same and fall flat for me. It grew on me and I will listen again.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

2/5

Did not like, I tried and it was late lonnnggggggg

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

2/5

Familiar and Meh for me

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

I do love these pleasant jazzy tunes, the nostalgia is raging from my days living in Georgia but I still like it now.

Low

David Bowie

2/5

The uniqueness and tone of this block of songs does make it riveting, but many songs sound the same and fall flat for me. It grew on me and I will listen again.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

2/5

Classic and always a go to

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Yes on this one over all, probably overplayed in the 80’s and never gets old. Songs stick with you.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

3/5

Very interesting and different instrumental choice!

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

Love this album and missed the group in my youth!

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

3/5

Smooth tunes for drinking wine and making dinner! Loved this Latin Norah Jones similarity.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

2/5

This is mostly noise for me - I like two of the songs and those are not memorable

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Memories mixed with these tunes make it a go to soother for me - in today’s terms this duo feels odd and I don’t know if they would make it. But I still like it!

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Classic and love most of it. It is mesmerizing.

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Death to my ears; I found no redeeming qualities in the music whatsoever.

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

2/5

Very interesting and different instrumental choice!

Transformer

Lou Reed

2/5

Pleasant sounds and typical of 70’s for me, meh overall with a few soulful moments.

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

2/5

Pop and instrumental sounds for a lighthearted experience and nothing moving.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

I can’t help myself loving this whole collection so much!!!!

Station To Station

New music of his for me, mixed opinions.

Just love him, the poet and the craziness, Can’t help it!

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

3/5

A go to funky time!

In Rainbows

Radiohead

2/5

Found this choice to be interesting although somewhat monotonous

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

This comes from pain and experiences and is soulful - such an early example of his style. I am drawn to it.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

2/5

Very interesting and different instrumental choice!

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

2/5

This collection is more nostalgia for me than enjoyment - it just blends into noise after a while.

High Violet

The National

3/5

Really enjoyed this music and the variety. A definite keeper! Good for an afternoon.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Deep and rich, and soothing. There is so much layered in and interesting to these songs.

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

Not bad but just ok for me - I like country and this is pleasant.

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

How can you not love Imagine? Other than 2-3 songs this is a little meh for me. It is of its time and uniqueness of the artist. I would listen again.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

It’s impossible to detach nostalgia from this collection and it is all fresh for the era and perfect pop!

Shalimar

Rahul Dev Burman

1/5

I understand the artistic approach and did not hate this album but it becomes repetitive and not enjoyable.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Very excited for this one!! 100pct am a rocker girl at my core, love this deep resonating sound forever.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

2/5

Nostalgic but hard to choose with such offensive language - rhythm really is bomb

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

Ok with classic rock appeal. It felt repetitive.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

I never tire of this collection; he has many treasures later in his career but this album is the best I think. Before he moved into too much Pop. The nostalgia cannot be separated , I love it.

Tical

Method Man

4/5

Old school tunes for chilling and can’t help that I do love it

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

Reminiscent of my dad’s sax and clarinet playing - classic and pleasant tunes. When I think jazz, this is it.

Metallica

3/5

Classic and just right to reminisce on the era

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Love forever

Orbital 2

Orbital

1/5

Just had a hard time with this - the collection is more suited for a modern bar reception area as background comfort.

Adele

5/5

Flawless and soulful, a go to to feel everything Music moves within us.

Teen Dream

Beach House

2/5

While this is not bad music, only a single song had a soul. The rest is bubble gum and nothing special. It’s like they heard something of the era and decided we can do that too.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

I’m tied up in nostalgia and good rock and roll - what’s not to like?

Fragile

Yes

2/5

Overall just Meh for me, but I’m very familiar with roundabout and it’s the one single included which is interesting

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

2/5

This collection was new to me! While not a go-to, it’s pleasant for a dinner party and easy listening to enjoy a moment that needs background soothing.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Yes to all the only rock n roll vibes and history of this album!!

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

3/5

Sit by the fire and smoke music. Some of this collection feels like an acid trip. The background additions and choices make what could be a boring song haunting and deep. Again it is hard to separate nostalgia for me. It’s all connected.

Third

Portishead

2/5

I don’t find anything to dislike but also did not really take to this album - although I like techno. The Tori Amos atmosphere had a draw but overall I was not compelled to listen again or think about it.

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Overall a very fun album, though some are monotonous. It’s a groove for sure, and has its place. Drive music more than happy hour music.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

I think this era of rock is my soulmate; I can enjoy this any time all the time. Good blend of soft and hard and easy listening.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Dreamy music that puts you inside the tune and emotion. If you want an escape experience this is it.

Goo

Sonic Youth

1/5

Not feeling it - seems like the identity of this music is undetermined. Am I punk? Am I pop? Am I rock? Do I have a soul?

Parallel Lines

Blondie

2/5

A couple iconic songs and a list of girl power music - a bit reminiscent of GoGo girls (who came after) in many places! Likeable.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

Soft funk is how I see this music, and there is nothing not to like. Fireside and lakeside, no agenda.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

3/5

Classic rock and timeless. Some of it is too horn-heavy for me. Overall a ripping collection of high powered passion.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

POV - flawless
