Def Leppard

4/5

This was a really good heavy metal album. Big hits off of this one. I had thought they were from Germany but they’re from the UK.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

This is an iconic album not just a reggae album. It came out at a time (1977) when disco and glam rock were at their height and punk was on the horizon. The music spoke to the times. I was planning to see Bob Marley in 1981 but he passed away at 36 before his tour reached UMass.
