It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

All Ratings

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Surprisingly jazzy and groovy.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

2/5

Not my style of hip hop. Probably would not relisten. Perhaps if I also read the lyrics at the same time.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

The main song was fine but the rest were forgettable.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

1/5

I really dislike this rap style. Had to stop listening after just a few tracks.

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

2/5

This was not terrible but I'm not sure I would remember or want to listen to it again.

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Wow this was actually pretty good! I would listen to this again. Fits the "old school hip hop" vibe and I swear I recognize some of the songs even though I've never heard of this artist before.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

3/5

Not bad. Rock.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

Wow, a serious Willie Nelson album! And country too! This one was great. Honestly more crooner than country. Not what I expected.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

Second half better than the first. I've heard better Ray Charles albums.

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

4/5

Such fun latino music! I feel like I'm on a beach in Mexico. This is exactly what I think of when I think of lation music. Saving this one for future dinner parties.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Fun. And I recognized a few songs.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

2/5

Other than the one song everyone recognizes, the rest was forgettable.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Very impressive for live improvisation. Wow. This is softer than jazz...in a good way.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

Could not find this album on Spotify. Good music though.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Not sure why this was chosen vs the studio album. Good songs though!

Shalimar

Rahul Dev Burman

1/5

Can't find on Spotify.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Very similar to Bob Dylan but less whiny. I suppose I need to read the lyrics. Nothing outstanding musically on first two listens.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Basic rock. Earlier (lighter) han I expected. Not bad. Nothing to write home about.

Sincere

Mj Cole

2/5

Too electronic.

Lost Souls

Doves

3/5

We liked this. 3 stars at least.

Worth a relisten with the lyrics. Lots of good songs here. 5 stars.

Diamond Life

Sade

5/5

All the songs are funky not just smooth operator. 5 stars.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

This one was decent. Would listen again even though I did not recognize many songs. 4 stars.

Goo

Sonic Youth

1/5

This is noise. 1 star.

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

I prefer other Rush albums.

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

2/5

Harder older rock. Like more intense Beach Boys. Not my favorite.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Fine for a Dylan. Would listen again.

5/5

The best Rush album.

Not good.

Belle & Sebastian

1/5

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

I listened to this album at a formative time. I could listen to Linkin Park every day.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

This was a "not weird" album as my wife says. Would have been a 4-star rock album except for the squeaky balloon that makes it into a few tracks, so this drops to 3 stars.
