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!
