Beats felt same-y. Lyrics felt same-y.

Why are you hating on women so much?

The campy songs on this in my mind were a success, the others not so much.

The Doors are such an overrated band. There’s nothing here that other bands weren’t doing better.

I’ve never heard this NY record. There’s some classic moments on this - long guitar solos, Neil scream-singing about something and then songs that are earnestly on the nose.

At different points in this record I felt like I was stuck in a dentist’s waiting room and it would switch to feeling stuck in a Julia Roberts film.

Inoffensive early 90’s dad rock. As a dad it’s about three decades too early for me to enjoy.

I enjoyed this. Very easy to listen to. Sarah Vaughan’s voice is great. I also like these live jazz records that are like 30-40 minutes. A breezy way to start my day.

I can see how this is a polarizing album. You really need to be okay with her voice or you will not like this. The album definitely grew on me and I found it hauntingly beautiful.

Is Let It Bleed my favorite Stones album? Nah. Is it still a great record. Yep. I dig the country aspects of this and their previous album, Beggar’s Banquet. In my opinion their best work comes soon after this. But compare this with the more saccharine songs the Beatles put out this same year and I’ll take this.

ELO is one of those bands where the singles are a great time, but the full albums leave me wanting.

This double record get same-y very quickly. Mr. Blue Sky is rocks.

What can you say about Janis that hasn’t already been said? You either are going to love her voice or hate it. I happen to fall into the former camp and her final record is just great.

Got this the day after Snoop’s first record. I like how political this is compared to that. But like most West Coast rap of this era there’s things that don’t age well - mainly the homophobia and over usage of the N-word.

Like a lot of this era’s rap it hasn’t aged incredibly well. The beats are pretty good. I’m on the fence as to whether I like Snoop’s voice.

Meh. Felt like a record you recorded in your garage right after you learned how to play guitar and got obsessed with playing Jimi Hendrix poorly.

Incredibly fun record. As kitschy and campy as you remember from the Love Shack video. But if you accept and get in on the joke the result is joy.

This sucked. Beyond the really dark subject matter Alice In Chains took the worst aspects of 80s Hair Metal and Grunge and mashed them together. The result it a mess of crap.

This was fine. Beyond Loverfool I’m not sure there’s anything else all that interesting on here.

Very much a 2009 record. Lots of reviews say this is hipsters with their heads up their collective asses. Sure, I’ll agree with that. But also it’s a weird fun record. Two things can be true.

Very hit or miss record for me. The funk and soul tunes were great. The more disco-y songs just didn’t work for me.

The first 2 songs are not that bad - in a kitschy, nostalgic way.

Then it just gets typically white guy rapping and nü metal. So yeah. . .
