I've loved this one since I found it in high school. This is a great example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. Massive influence on all rock that came afterward.

I'm an Elvis fan, but this era isn't my favorite. It's better than so many other albums on this list though. Suspicious Minds is a classic.

I had never heard of this band before. Pleasantly surprised. If you're into 80s indie rock sounds, you'll like this one.

Not really my taste. It's OK, just not one I'd come back to. Pretty noticeable drop-off in quality from their first album.

I was going to give this 4 stars, but the Ph.D. student in mathematics review was so cringeworthy that I'm going with 5 to offset it. Truly a really fun hip hop album on its own merits, either way.

Classic, massively influential album.

I'm an ELO fan and this album has much of Jeff's best stuff. Toe tapper all the way through.

Not an all time classic, but it's really fun. I Can't Get No Satisfaction has to be one of the best covers of all time.

I remember when this was new - pretty huge hit. I'm a fan of this era of hip hop, but 2Pac just isn't really my flavor.

Total classic for my taste. I remember being taken completely off guard by 'We're Going to Be Friends', possibly the most unique and best song on this already great album. Also, look up the video for 'Fell In Love With a Girl'. It might seem quaint in today's age of CGI and AI, but at the time, it was really something, especially for a then more or less indie band.

Classic voice and sound. A bit sleepy for my taste though.

Loved this one when it was new, and again now. Jack is a genius.

Varied, fun sound. If you’re a ska fan, you’ll probably enjoy this one.

Pretty much 'meh' for my taste. Not great, not bad, just OK.

This type and era of jazz is right in the sweet spot for me. I hadn't heard this before, but I really enjoyed it. They just don't make em like this anymore, sadly...

I hadn't heard this one before. I was drumming the steering wheel and nodding my head all the way through. Great sound, variety and creativity. Janelle has a solid voice, too. All of that equals five stars for me.

Tiny Dancer and Levon are fantastic. Pretty standard Elton Stuff after that, so still pretty good.

Relax is fun, but the rest wasn’t really my thing.

I had never heard this one before. Enjoyable throughout.

Serious cuffs of my JNCO baggy jeans are wet from dragging in mud puddles vibes. There’s some excellent technical musicianship here, but nothing that interesting about the music itself.
