Reminds me of Prince - nice!

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

First rate. No sleeper songs. Good variety

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

Heard of Mr. Drake but never heard his music. Mellow jazz-folk works for me.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

Earlier Eagles albums better. HC lacks the edge of On the Border, the freshness of the Eagles, and the heart of Desparado

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Fine setup for Revolver & Sgt Pepper

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

The #1 headphones album of my youth! So many great songs. Forgot how awesome 1983 is. Jimi is still king of the wah-wah pedal.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Moon Safari

Air

L.A. Woman

The Doors

4/5

Love Her Madly, LA Woman, & Riders on the Storm crush it. Now I wish I’d bought it back in the day. Loved The Doors first album

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Alien Lanes

Radiohead

5/5

Prefer OK Computer & the Bends, but this is fine Radiohead, too

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

3/5

First few cuts had heavy guitar to offset that voice, then not so much

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

1/5

My favorite cut was the Orc Battle Hymn - just kidding. Most cuts sound like Orc Battle Hymns. Disposable Heroes was interesting. Well-executed metal is still angry af music and just doesn’t appeal.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

4/5

Good variety. Jack by himself or with Meg is far superior to Raconteurs

NEU! 75

Neu!

Well, I did NOT die before I got old, but I still loves me Who!
