Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Kind of a combo of The Cure and U2. I didn't hate it. Some songs I would listen yo on yhe radio while others I would change yhe station. I would not purchase anything but might shazam. Rate as a 3.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Love Stevie but have never heard this whole album before. Love that this was put out when i was three years old but is still so relevant. Yes, would buy this album! Loved the harmonica on the first song. Five stars

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Loved listening to the three classic/iconic S&G songs but I did not like the remainder of the album. Perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention but it seemed disjointed with recorded speaking and the "themes." Rated: 3

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

I didn't love this album. I liked a couple of the classic songs. I think the Indian song threw me off. Why is he singing about the Iroquois as a Brit singer? It's a 3 for me.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Really liked this album more than I thought I would. It is definitely a mood album, not for general listening. Great for summer. This is a 4

Tommy

The Who

2/5

I did not like this album. It was too dimensionally flat. Except for the overture and pinball wizard, it did not resinate with me at all. Rate 2

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Second half of the album is so much better than the first half. It is almost like two different bands- asynchronous!! Rated a 3. If 3.5 was an option I would do that but not quite 4 status even though so great songs on the album. The first songs negated their stars.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

I liked this better than I thought i would. For the right moment, I would listen again. Rated 3

Common

4/5

I really liked this album. The music is fabulous and I love his voice. I want to listen along with the lyrics to better understand them in full context. A solid 4.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

5/5

Loved this album! So fun, and the trombomist is amazing. 5 stars!!

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

This was a great album. Consistent beat all the way through. Fun for my workout. If i could give it 4.5 stars, I would. 4 stars for now but it is so early, i may bump up to 5

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

1/5

I made it half way through and had enough. The circus song did me in. 1 star

Odelay

Beck

1/5

I tried, really, I did. Only halfway through and was done. One star.

All Directions

The Temptations

4/5

It's the Temptations, so it is awesome by default. But the messages here are powerful. Four stars

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

I liked this album. Classic sound. Not sure I would buy it or individual songs though. Three stars

In Utero

Nirvana

1/5

I tried. I really did, but it is literally to loud and screechy for my ears. One star

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

I really liked this album but the foul language made me so uncomfortable. The music and voices are wonderful. If it did not have so much of the n word and female objectification, it would get a 4, maybe a 5, but because of that, i would not buy and give it 3 stars

I Am a Bird Now

Antony and the Johnsons

4/5

This reminded me a bit of Tom O'Dell. I liked this album a lot but do not care for the very heavy vibrato. I still really enjoyed all the tracks. Four stars

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

I was so excited to see this album show up this morning but was disappointed. It was good but blues "light". I did like the collaborations with other artists but was missing a bit of its soul. I give it a 3.

Fleet Foxes

2/5

This album was pseudo relaxing but I can't place where and when I would listen to it? I can see myself changing the radio station with most of this album but i dodnt hate it. Two stars.

Led Zeppelin

5/5

It has been way to long since I have listened to LZ. I forgot how much I love their music. Easy five stars

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Enjoyable easy listen. Three stars

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

This was a great album. Energizing but not noisy, also great work background music. Four stars

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

5/5

Such a great album....each song different and so danceable.

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

This is a classic from my time! Solid album...4 stars because it is great but don't think I would buy it

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

5/5

This is a great album. Calm music, perfect for working on the office to-do list or need something chill. I look forward to paying more attention to the lyrics. I would buy this album. 5 stars.

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

Another great album. Would definitely buy some songs but not necessarily the whole album. I loved their greatist hits album!!! Four stars

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

I did not love this album. It reminded me a bit of the Grateful Dead and their extended songs. I can totally inagine this at Woodstock but it is not speaking to me. Rate 3 stars

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

The album is good. Solid for the radio; don't think I would buy it. Three stars

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

FIVE THOUSAND STARS!!!

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

I have aged out of this album and don't enjoy the sound anymore. I would give it 1.5 stars, so I will round up to two stars.

Shadowland

k.d. lang

4/5

This album grew on my. Her voice is truly amazing. I am reminded of how much I did not care for Nora Jones' debut album but now love it. I think this is like that. Four stars

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

Great album....bluesy with some rock and country vibes. Four stars

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Bob Marley is always great....I am only a so-so fan of reggae. Solid three stars

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

2/5

It did not care for it as a whole piece. It was just okay. Two stars

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

4/5

I really liked this album. It is what a christmas compilation would sound like with a valentines theme. Four stars.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

I did not like this album at all. It was too noisy, discordant and disjointed to me. Two stars because of it written for a ballet which might make my opinion different if I heard

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

1/5

What the fuck was that? I only listened all the way through because it was only 15 minutes. My ears are still ringing. One star

Miriam Makeba

4/5

I wnjoyed this album a lot. Was that one song the influence for "lion sleeps ttonight?"

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

3/5

I liked about 40% of this album, but it was a little too noisy for me however it should get higher than a two star rating so I'm giving it three stars

1984

Van Halen

3/5

There are some really fun songs on here. I would definitely give it three stars.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

I had never heard this album before and really enjoyed it. I love her deep strong voice but it is pitchy. A resounding four stars.
