I get why these guys are foundational to electronic music. I don't like this album. Its dull and industrial, without a sense of evolution or progression. It just sounds like a rave in a machine shop.

I have a history with this album. One of the founding albums in an old romantic relationship. Which did eventually fall apart and then be built back into a good friendship. Cat's music has this loose, shambling rythym, which does well with his voice and subjects. Hard Headed Woman is a great song. Miles from Nowhere is another good one. The ending of the album I wish let its triumphant harmonies breathe a little more on the back end but such is life.

Do I have to listen to Rod Stewart blather and wail? Jeff's cover of Greensleeves is pretty good. Wow what a chore and a half.

A mid 70s concept album. Counting Out Time is killer. The first part is pretty unintelligible for me. As well as most of it. its really wild and worth a re-listen when i am less distracted.

Ripping accordian part on the first track. This is really pleasant and i like it. This is a really refreshing and lovely album. La Muerta Del Angel is just this beautiful icing on this total cake of an album!

Walk is a good song. Rise got me going this morning. As heavy an album as any on the list, this is a foundation of modern metal. As only a passing metalhead, I can't say I felt it move me to a 5 star but I found it enjoyable enough for a 4.

So this is the album that made Springstein a household name. This guitar tone on Thunder Road is just so fogey. Tenth Avenue Freeze Out is a fun tune. My problem with Bruce's voice on Born To Run is that his diction is terrible! it sounds like his tongue is too big for his mouth. The song is a pretty compelling hit though. The rest is just whatever. Fine Bruce you got a 3 star from me congratulations.

Im digging this. It's like a long lost punk album that young George would have ate right up. Annie is a fun song. I hear shades of a 2000s rock sound like Bad Religion in here.

Rock Box is a really cool hip-hop rock mashup. In general im not a huge fan of this big boom kick sound. Yea this album becomes a slog after Rock Box and its kind of grating on me.

Oh hell yea. Great big but also tight drum sound. Cyndi's voice just cuts so well and is so expressive. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is a hit of hits. When You Were Mine is a great cover. Time After Time kicks a lot of ass. She's Bop isn't my favorite, but i like that its kind of a dirty sound. He's So Unusual into Yeah Yeah is everything. That album was amazing.
