The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

Nice Big Band vibe. Considering it was recorded at the dawn of the HiFi era sound is remarkably clear and crisp

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

Classic Jazz standard. The time signature changes in the title song seems to have inspired future generations or Progressive rock and jazz fusion groups

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

Didn't much care for it back when it was new but I'll give it another start after a good listen. It def rocks

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

Very good.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Interesting. Not sure how to classify it. Not a bad listen but a little too bass heavy, takes away from the other instruments and vocals

Headquarters

The Monkees

2/5

When I was in elementary school the Monkees were the thing. The show, the 1st few albums, the singles were all over the radio. Kinda started my musical journey. Anyway in hindsight I now know the Monkees were a made up band with studio musicians playing other peoples songs. This album wasn't up to the original Monkees that I remember from my youth.

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

Couldn't finish it.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

3/5

When it first came out I really didn't like it. Thought it a difficult listen. Hearing it now it's a little easier on the ears but I still find his vocalizations sleep inducing.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

Good album. The new mix sounds better.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

1/5

It was boring/ awful. Couldn't finish it. No point just synths.

Queen II

Queen

5/5

One of my favorite Queen Albums. Loved the sides labeled white and black. Very hard rock for queen. Queen was learning how to use a studio as an instrument. Best to listen thru headphones.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

4/5

Knew this as the Beano album back in the day. Always a fun listen.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

4/5

Don't usually like dance music but this was very good

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

One of the best R&B albums of the 70s

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

5/5

My father was a huge county music fan so I heard the originals of most of these songs but these fully orchestrated versions are on another level.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

3/5

Reminds me of early Dylan.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

2/5

A nice album if you want something low playing in the background. Nice live performance

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

I was working in a record store when this album came out, it was played constantly so listening again brought back old memories. That being said it's not an album the I have downloaded.

Dry

PJ Harvey

4/5

Not her best album but very good. She is a local from where I come from and use to see her live frequently. Great live show

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

1/5

Even if I could understand the lyrics, the music is repetitive beats and no dynamics.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

An album I owned. It's a shame she died so young.
