Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

Really enjoyed this one. It started strong, had interesting call backs to prior songs on album, and I didn’t have the desire to skip any songs.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

This one was hit or miss for me. It didn’t seem to flow well.

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

This one was a joy to listen to the whole way through.

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

I enjoyed the album but I wish I could hear the lyrics. However, despite being very mumble-mouthed, Michael Stipe’s voice works with the music.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

This isn’t a music genre I seek out; however, I loved this album and added to my list to buy.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

I forgot how much I enjoyed this album Distinct sound and energetic.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

I enjoyed Hendrix songs in an album more than a one-off single played here and there on the radio. Possibly his music needs to standalone for me. It’s another I will add to “purchase” list.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

4/5

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

2/5

It’s fine for work but nothing stood out. Possibly would have been better listened to while wearing headphones. I did enjoy Royksopp’s Night Out and Remind me. End of album worked more for me.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as “Are you Experienced.” I did come away from the listening appreciating Jimi’s guitar work. I really enjoyed Bold as Love and Little Wing but it wasn’t a “listen the whole way through for me.”

Joan Armatrading

5/5

Enjoyed this one. Lyrics are more complex and worth the listen.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

4/5

I like that it’s a punk album with variety—has more going on musically

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

This is one of my favorite albums. The music and Paul Simon’s voice just work well together.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

3/5

This reminded me of songs I’d hear during a 60s movie. I had to look up the singer. I’m not surprised he was an actor prior to being a singer. The album I very theatrical. Not my thing but Scott Walker has a good voice.

The Poet

Bobby Womack

3/5

Love his voice. Album sounds a bit dated. I love Stand Up.

Imagine

John Lennon

4/5

I enjoyed this one. There were some musical elements that dated it for me but I enjoyed the album.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

3/5

This is a must be wearing headphones for me. I rather enjoyed it, but it’s a once in a blue moon listen rather than heavy rotation for me.

Suzanne Vega

4/5

This grew on me. I thought it would be too quiet at first but it picked up. She has a lovely voice.

Boston

4/5

It was a fun album. I was torn between 3 and 4 stars but went with 4. I so associate Boston with classic rock radio I figured I was grading on that curve.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

A little more dated sound than I expected, but I love the album anyway.

Parklife

Blur

4/5

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

Great songwriter. Not my usual but won me over.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

I have this album and do go back to it a lot.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

4/5

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

It was a bit odd. Even though the music would change, something about the vocals made it seem the songs flowed into the next. The last one with Busta Rhymes was the outlier. I still enjoyed it.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Beatles are always a good listen. Something to be said for well crafted songs.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

4/5

Brought out the teen boy in me. Lyrics amused me, and musically mixed it up more than I expected.

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

3/5

This is more for those who like an education while listening to music. The explanations of the music cut into enjoyment. That being the case, I liked this much more than I expected I would.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

4/5

Angry, feisty album I needed.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

This is an album I wanted to purchase after I listened to it. I enjoyed every song.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

5/5

I love this album. Not only a lovely voice, but the album is cohesive. Despite some depressing subject matters, the album is very listenable.
