Achtung BabyU2

Rated 8/10

My husband's favorite band is U2 so I'm familiar with the album. I like it but wouldn't say I love it.

Another album I had as a teen, I got this one & Scritti Politti Cupid & Psyche 85 for either my birthday or Christmas, so I've already listened to it a lot! Of course, it's gonna be a 5 for me.

Never heard of the artist, so completely new to me. Not something I'd normally listen to and wasn't horrible (I could get through the album) but not something I'd revisit.

I thought the name was familar, but as I listened to the album on my commute, I didn't recognize anything UNTIL I got to Without You. I somehow remember the words of this song even though I haven't heard it in years. The vocals give me tingles in my spine (the only other song I've noticed that happens to me is Sound of Silence by Disturbed - and is there a name for this? I just googled it, it's called musical frisson) Then I was singing along with the Coconut song, and there's a Spanish version of Without You!? I thought I would rate it a 4, but I gotta bump it up.

Not my usual go-to but I'm familiar with the album because Judas Priest was my ex-husband's favorite band. I didn't hate it, but not my thing.

Rated 4/10

Interesting blend of country and jazzy lounge music (?) I've never listened to k.d.'s music until this project. Not my favorite style & not something I would seek out, but I wouldn't skip a song if it were on a random playlist.

Like many others, this was my album the day after Ozzy died. I'm familiar with War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man, but hadn't heard the others. It's not something I would normally seek out to listen to, but I enjoyed it, and I recognize the influence Ozzy & Black Sabbath had on heavy metal. I don't want to give it a 5 just because of Ozzy's death, but it's a solid 4.5 for me.
