Another great album by Neil Young. I wasn't a huge fan of his before but I have really enjoyed all of the albums I have listened to so far. It didn't get much love when released but in the years following it has become a fan favorite.
This album was so odd and diverse it was good. The music styles vary from African, Carribean, middle-eastern to hip-hop. McLaren was the manager of the bands "New York Dolls" and "Sex Pistols" and then in the early 80's decided to make some of his own music, with "Duck Rock" being his first album. 
One of the things I was able to learn about Todd Rundgren, since I had never heard of him before now, is that he was one of the first musicians, to start to incorporate an interactive experience at his concerts. He would later on in his career be one of the first to use music videos and the internet to promote his music. I ended up liking this album. He is a pretty good musician and has a really good voice.
This is more what I was expecting from this band. The first album of their's that I listened to I felt was too "disco" while this one is more funk/soul oriented. The songs were much better and since I like that genre of music more I was able to enjoy this album more. I can imagine going to one of their concerts and it being a huge production and a lot of fun to see.
Second Yes album and still not digging the band. Longer than average songs just lost me as they dragged on.
No clean version available
Another really good album from Stevie. Just chalk full of great song writing and super funky. I really enjoyed listening to it, and it probably has one of, if not his most famous song "Superstition".
For a jazz album this was pretty good. Monk is a pianist and composer who likes to improvise when composing and recording his songs. The title track for this album is regarded as one of his most difficult songs and it took the band 25 takes and over 4 hours to get it right.
This album reminds me of the Flaming Lips album from a couple days ago and both of remind me of the band "The Gorillaz". Spoiler alert, the singer for this band is David Albarn, the mastermind and singer for the Gorillaz, and also the band Blur. This band however is a supergroup made up of Albarn, a member of the Clash and the Verve. I had never heard of this album and to be honest is it so similar to Gorillaz, that it might as well be a Gorillaz album. I feel the same about this one as I do most Gorillaz albums. A couple good songs, but nothing amazing.
As I have previously mentioned I really like this band. The have a number of songs spread out over their albums that I consider to be very very good. Their albums as a whole though take some getting use to. They are very well crafted but are albums that you kind of have to be in the mood for to listen to straight through. Regardless, Arcade Fire is a great band and their albums are worth checking out.
I thought this album was pretty good for the most part but it left me feeling a little confused. It starts off really strong with the first couple songs, that feature some really good slide guitar work, and then the album transitions into a couple songs that are quite obviously old-school country, featuring some really good fiddle playing then it goes to some songs that are more folk with a little bit of blues. All the songs are pretty solid, I just haven't ever listened to an album that I can remember with different genres through-out the album.
I was surprised at how much I liked this album. I thought there wasn't much of a chance due to the name and also the fact that the last time I listened to one of their albums it was just blah. This one wasso much better. It was catchy and a little bit odd, but not over the top odd so that it's ruined it was just the right enough odd to make it interesting to listen to, to draw you in.
This is a better than average punk album, and is quite highly regarded by critics, and is listed as one of the greatest punk albums ever by many different lists and music magazines. The weird thing about the band, and I have seen this before with some of the albums, is for no apparent reason they only ever record the one album and did one full tour of England and then they broke.up.
For a 60's album, a style that I'm not super fond of, I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't way out there like a lot of 60's music is. It did have the elements and sound of a 60's album but was more restrained and enjoyable, and I really liked the distorted guitar through out the songs.
I actually liked this album quite a bit more than other Cohen albums I have listened to. I feel like Cohen's voice is much smoother than the later albums I have listened to so far, and I didn't realize the song Bird on a Wire was his.
I really liked a song from this album way back when it came out. I'm sure I heard it on the radio when released, and I had forgot about it until now, so I was glad for the reminder. The song is great, the rest of the album is a pretty decent 80's album.
