Classic and clean early rock and roll. Nothing to dislike.

It’s classic Aretha. ‘Nuff said.

Talvin Singh “Ok”

I’ve always liked this album. When I was a club DJ, I loved dropping the opening track, “Traveller” as a wild journey midway through a set. The back half of the album is much better than I remember. This is a classic example of why we need a half star system because this is a 3.5 to me. I think I’ll round down and give it a 3.

I love the Who but have never loved Tommy. It’s similar to Pink Floyd’s The Wall in that it’s a rock opera that could benefit from dropping a few songs (both are too long) but it’s not as well though out as The Wall so it suffers from consistency issues as well.

I had heard of them but never listen to any of their stuff. Solid album but I wish my first exposure was not a double album. I was ready for it to be over by the end, but the last song in particular is fantastic.

Ugh. Irish folk punk? I have lived this long without knowing this existed and could have lived the remainder of my life without knowing that this existed. Why is it over an hour long?!!

A fantastic representative of 80’s music! Not a bad song on the album.

Familiar with Sonic Youth but never really listened to them. Pleasant surprise. Double album, so a few songs I didn’t like but the ones I didn’t like were more about the vocals. Both singers can come across a little harsh sometimes. Otherwise, impressive album!

Easy listening, approachable classic rock.

Early German electronic music. Interesting but, being sequencer driven, a little boring.

Classic, pure metal. Impossible not to head bang.

Classic rock at its best! Fantastic album!

Classic album that I grew up with. The soundtrack to my pre teen years.

Fun live jazz. Great album.

Classic, non offensive hip hop. A fun album.

I like Bowie soul. The darker, funkier version of Bowie is my style.

A pleasant surprise of an album. A fun ride!

Same as her other work: brilliant songwriting but I find the album boring. It’s just not something I’m ever going to seek out to listen to.

I feel the same way about Kendrick as I do Jay-Z: brilliant production and lyrics, but I’m not a fan of his voice. I like Kendrick’s voice when he’s doing a more laid-back song, but when he gets aggressive his voice hits my ears all wrong. I would love to hear this entire album with Nas in his place!

I am a huge Björk fan (one of the five best concerts I’ve ever attended) but this is her least approachable album. I feel like it’s an album meant for musicians because the brilliance is lost on the casual listener. While I find the production brilliant, it’s not a destination album for me. I will never pluck it off the shelf specifically to listen to it. I would pull all of her other albums first.
