Big fan of this album. Owned it when I was in high school. I remember how cool all the different tracks where at the time. The Roberta Flack cover is still one of my top favorite songs.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

It's amazing the number of bangers/known songs on this one album. She's quite a prolific singer/songwriter. Awesome to learn she was one of the songwriters behind "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" I had just learned that she didn't want Gilmore Girls to use "Where You Lead" because it was about a man, but then she re-recorded it with her daughter when they told her the premise of the show. Interesting to her the original song and it's lyrics. I don't particularly love her voice. It has a specific quality that is just right for these songs and I know if from the Gilmore Girls show and her speaking voice. I am very impressed by her songwriting and her piano skills.

A bit too psychedelic for my taste.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

Nope. Too jammy.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

Apparently I've never listened to the whole album, just the top songs. Really liked the opening song "Hello". Album in total became a little repetitive of a sound, but was still good.

Africa Brasil

This was a really fun album. Liked the beat and the Portugese language.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

2/5

Black Sabbath

3/5

Pleasantly surprised by the album. Had a real dark soul sound to it. An intro to metal if you will. Probably won't listen to it again, but might look into additional Black Sabbath albums.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

2/5

Some favorite nostalgic songs on her. Vocals make sense on those. But for a lot of the album it felt like he was really straining for the notes. Off putting sounds on many songs.

Damaged

Black Flag

2/5

I've already forgotten it from the just listening to it yesterday. I like punk, but this album just didn't do it for me.

The Slider

T. Rex

2/5

Each song is very repetitive. As a stand-alone song it's fine, but multiple of a very static beat is not great.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Liked a few of the songs, but wasn't interested in continually listening. Kept stopping it for distractions, and then would forget I was even listening to it.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

Such a sad listen. I do love me some Johnny Cash, but this is not one of my top albums of his. It was quite beautiful, just such a change from the Johnny I grew up with. Has a cover of one of my all time favorite songs - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

3/5

Weird, but liked quite a few of the songs as a cohesive album. Very Buffy-core.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

I thought it had interesting beats.
