Funny 'Whatever' is what I said after listening to this album. Not the artist that is going to make me like rock folk.

All Ratings

The Who Sell Out

The Who

2/5

Like The Who but did not know this album. The concept based around pop art and fake commercials was probably very good when it came out but nowadays I think it lost its appeal.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

2/5

Not into country music. Love Cash's voice but that was about it.

Garbage

3/5

Début album from Garbage. A good start but the following one was much better. Well at least it got me listening to their discography all day long so good recommandation.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

It was nice though a bit too improvised for me. More of a jam between friends than something that was thought out. Recommended nonetheless.

The Stranger

Billy Joel

1/5

Listened to it twice in a row but I ain't gonna lie..I was bored after three songs. Not for me.

Kid A

Radiohead

1/5

Sorry Steve you seem like a nice guy but country music ain't really my thing.
