Never heard of this artist, but liked the album. Very 70s groovy vibes. Big Muff reminded me of Seagulls, Stop It Now for some reason.

Quiet LifeJapan

Rated 8/10

Early New Wave, and it sounds so much like Duran Duran that I kept double-checking that I was still listening to the correct album.

OdessaBee Gees

Rated 2/10

First thought: Oh cool, Bee Gees. Disco can be fun.
Saw the date of release: This is before disco, but maybe it'll be okay
Listening to the album: uggghhh

I'd expect to hear this in a dentist's waiting room.

I can't get through the 1st song. I feel like I give up too soon on some of these albums but then I remember I don't have to torture myself for the sake of this project.

FragileYes

Rated 8/10

I didn't realize Yes was around in the early 70s. I first heard them in the 80s with Owner of the Lonely Heart and Leave It. Roundabout was familiar, and I would have thought that Long Distance Runaround was from the early 80s as well. 4

Wow, didn't realize the type of person Clapton is, and I honestly never really listen to his music much. I don't hate the music; it's fine for background music at work, but it's difficult not to consider the artist as well as the art.

GracelandPaul Simon

Rated 10/10

Another nostalgic album for me. As a teen, I didn't pay attention to the news or understand what apartheid meant. I didn't realize the controversy surrounding this album upon its release, I just liked the songs.

This doesn't sound like something from the 70s. I felt more indie dark wave goth vibes than what I typically associate with the 70s (Disco, funk, folk, or jam bangs). I'm going to have to check out more of their stuff.

Oh, how I hated Muse in late 2000s I despised them with the heat of a million suns. If I had to hear my sons play Knights of Cydonia one more time on Guitar Hero I was going to throw the Xbox out the window. They started to play it before I got home from work. I thought perhaps I had mellowed out as I've gotten older but the minute I heard the first rifts of Knights that burning annoyance came back. No strong opinions on the rest of the album but can't rate it higher than a 2 because I absolutely HATE Knights of Cydonia.
