Rated 8/10
Found myself liking it more than the first time I gave it a listen. Ian Curtis was never the best singer, but JD’s overall sound draws me in. Experimental and ahead of its time, featuring who would later become New Order after Ian’s death.

This was meh. Not a favorite. Has some decent songs, but very forgettable. Sorry, Bruce. I still love you.

Top tracks: Waitin’ On a Sunny Day, My City of Ruins
Rated 8/10
Oh hell yeah. It’s music like this that makes me imagine my hair blowing in the breeze as I’m cruising in a sexy muscle car in the ‘70s. If you lived that life, I envy you. Anyway, loved this. And someone please invent a time machine already.
Top tracks: Waitin’ for the Bus, Jesus Just Left Chicago, La Grange
Rated 6/10
Oh how I dig those funky ‘70s sounds. These compositions are fun, maybe not all the way through, but less boring than other jazz I’ve had to sit through.
Rated 8/10
RIP to an amazing woman with so much heart and so much talent. As a classic country music lover I was already a fan of hers. I can’t recall the moment I became a fan, but I guess over the years I was simply drawn to her sweet as honey voice and heartfelt songwriting, and this album is a great example of that. My Blue Tears is among my favorite songs of all time. Thank you for everything, Dolly. I will always love you.
Top tracks: Coat of Many Colors, My Blue Tears, The Way I See You

Fuck Kanye and anyone who still listens to this pos.
0 stars if I could.
Rated 8/10
This album was fierce. Purple Rain has to be in the top 5 greatest songs of the ‘80s.

Wasn’t fully vibing with the first couple of songs, but thankfully Bob did not disappoint. Love when he began adding more country influence.
Top tracks: Meet Me in Morning, Shelter from the Storm, Buckets of Rain
Rated 6/10
Not bad. Pleasantly surprised by this band, which I wasn’t familiar with.

Top tracks: Bombast, I Am Damo Suzuki, Rollin’ Dany
Rated 6/10
I wasn’t blown away by anything, but this was a pleasant and mellow album, something nice to have on in the background. I’d check out more by this artist.
Top tracks: Happiness, Eat Yourself
Rated 10/10
FINALLY one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite groups ever. One of my fondest memories is buying a CSNY cd at Best Buy on my 18th birthday and listening to it for the first time on a road trip and I’ve loved them ever since. Beautiful harmonies, which I’m a sucker for. Fantastic beginning to end.
Rated 4/10
I came to the realization long ago that while I know Jazz is a complex art form that opened the doors to what music is today, it’s just not a genre I’d willingly seek out and listen to. Much of it sounds the same to me and I get bored quickly.
Rated 2/10
‘70s rock, this should’ve been right up my alley, but sadly I didn’t like a single song.
Rated 4/10
Top tracks: The Boll Weevil and Mule Skinner Blues.
I appreciate early folk, but this isn’t an album I’d listen to again.
Rated 8/10
What a major improvement from 21, which I didn’t care for. Fell in love with most of these songs; perfect for daydreamers and the heartbroken </3.

Rated 2/10
This was my 2nd Pulp album and I’m still not impressed. Listening to the singer whispering in some of these songs was like having a gross old man whispering in my ear. Something Changed was my least disliked song, which I’d probably like a bit more if someone else sang it, I’m just not a fan of the singer’s voice. Safe to say this band is not my cup of tea.
Rated 2/10
I just cannot take British rap seriously. I’m so sorry.
Rated 2/10
Was this really hardcore? More like ‘boring’.

The Who sucks.
Rated 2/10
This is literally just the soundtrack to every car commercial since 2000.
