Vol. 4

Black Sabbath · 1 likes

3/5

Never been a huge Black Sabbath fan. This album was quite interesting had some nice melodic arrangements, but did not sway me to being a hardcore Sabbath fan.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

4/5

A classic ELP album, with some great songs.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

This was better than I thought it was going to be. It was a fun listen for sure. I am not sure I would listen to it again but wouldn’t turn it off if a Hole song came on.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

I am not a huge jazz fan but didn’t mind this album. It would be decent to enjoy in the background while reading.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

3/5

I had heard of Morrisey but had never listened to any of his music. I liked his voice and the album was a nice listening experience.

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

3/5

It was an OK album but I enjoy his more outlaw country stuff

Devotional Songs

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

2/5

Not my type of music.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

It was an interesting album to listen to. There were lots of different styles of music.

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

2/5

It was an OK album, not my type of music. I actually saw XTC in concert years ago as they opened for The Police.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

I had a Dutch girlfriend back in the 90's who was obsessed with Bob Dylan and I didn't get it. He does write some good songs but still don't care for his voice. This is a fun album with some good songs, but still Bob's voice.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Never been a huge Black Sabbath fan. This album was quite interesting had some nice melodic arrangements, but did not sway me to being a hardcore Sabbath fan.

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

This was a fun album with some catchy tunes. Some of the songs dragged a little but still enjoyable.

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

3/5

This was a very interesting album. Not always my type of music but had some good songs. I think it would have made a really good single CD.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

OK, what can I say about this album, that hasn't already been said. It was most say a turning point in Bruce's career. There are many hidden gems on this album but so many stand out songs. Jungleland is beyond awesome, but Across the River is one of my favorites.

Gold

Ryan Adams

3/5

His voice reminds of Bob Dylan sometimes. I can see why he is popular. It was OK to listen to but wouldn't want a steady diet of Ryan Adams.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

One of the best follow up albums ever made. This was follow up to Dark Side of the Moon. It is very good.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

3/5

It was a long album and at times they sounded like a Bob Dylan cover band. It was enjoyable back ground music, not something I would listen to a lot.

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

3/5

Typical Roxy Music album. Their sound is distinctive and enjoyable.

Adele

4/5

She has a pleasant voice.

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

This is one of Bowie's better album. The title track is a classic and one of my favorites.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

Never been an Oasis fan.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

This was a must listen to in the 80's and 90's and still a feel good album.

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

3/5

She has a very distinct voice and some of the songs were great.

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

A very good album with some catchy tunes.

Survivor

Destiny's Child

2/5

Not my type of music. Every song sounded the same

Germs

3/5

I gave it a 3 as musically was decent. It was a typical punk album, short intense songs. Some had better lyrics than others.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

If I could give 4.5 stars I would. This is one of Queen's most underrated albums IMHO. Has some great tracks like Brighton Rock and Lily of the Valley. It was one of the first albums to show Queen's diverse sound.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

This album is god but not amazing. Everyone talks about this album being so ground breaking but I think it was just OK. It does have some outstanding songs for sure.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

3/5

I didn't know anything about this band. It was a pleasant album, like amix between reggae and new wave.
