Could not finish this album and his yowling. It was boring and annoying at the same time

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

Easy listening, general soul grooves and instrumentation. Lot of repetition and similar sounding songs except for the first and last tracks, which were my favorite.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

I love the vibes, the haunting and experimental moments. The yearning. I just hate the mix, I struggle to hear anything but the drum track.

Paul Simon

4/5

I enjoyed the creative melodies and chord progressions and instrumentation throughout. Incredible guitar work, and many genres encapsulated into this folk and story-telling album. I can see myself repeat listening to several of these tracks.

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

The energetic accordion had me hooked right off the bat. Googling what the heck kind of genre is this, and discovered a whole lot of interesting world beats in the process. This is such a cool collaboration of an American folk singer with South African musicians, musical stylings, and instrumentation and keeps the energy going.

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

I was not impressed by the first couple of tracks. Really bland and low energy sounding. But I came to appreciate his voice and the orchestration of some of the other pieces and I recognized Heart of Gold and realized this guy sang “Horse with No Name” so that’s cool. I gave it a second listen and I can appreciate it more for what it is.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

4/5

I enjoyed the energy and the funky blues sounds. I Shot the Sheriff is a classic and the whole album has a similar vibe. I also liked the collab tracks with other vocalists.

Tago Mago

Can

3/5

This was wild and controlled at the same time. Funky grooves, alt rock, 18 minute tracks, clearly skilled musicians. I appreciate this album but don’t need to listen again.

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Incredible live musicianship. Funky, groovy, politically dense.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

4/5

Really dense, rich album with rock, funk, and piano driven ballads. I love the instrumentations and richness

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

3/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Manic-fueled Xmas spirit. You better be having fun or else. Definitely recognized “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)”, and the other songs were catchy and fun as well.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

I recognized Life on Mars?

Ananda Shankar

4/5

Sitar!

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Unremarkable but still cool

The Clash
