Ned Doheny - Hard Candy
73

I had never heard of him before, but he’s really very good. A great style, somewhat soulful and soft rock. He leans toward the soft rock as defined by McDonald. He’s truly a highly underrated pioneer.

竹内まりや [Mariya Takeuchi] - VARIETY
65

It was quite good, but since I’m a big fan of yacht rock and soft rock, I consider city pop to be somewhat inferior.

Shepstone & Dibbens - Shady Lady
82

Had no expectation but this is a banger

Velvet Glove - Sweet Was My Rose
62

It's not amazing, but not entirely bad either. You don't really feel like they step out of their comfort zone, except on 'Movie Star'

Frankie Cosmos - Different Talking
46

That's my problem with this soulless pop that's been emerging lately. It's just an empty sequence that can't even be called an album. It just sounds like a compilation of bad pop songs.

U.S. Girls - Scratch It
60

feels like a recent neil young had a daughter with grace slick

Justice - †
68

I doubt I have the best opinion on this since it’s the first album in this style that I’ve listened to. I loved the beginning, but after the middle, I got a bit lost.

Djo - The Crux
70

The album is good at the beginning and the end, but the middle lacks originality and is a bit repetitive.

The Buoys - The Buoys
78

A weird album. Looks a bit like Love

McKinley Dixon - Magic, Alive!
93

This guy created an entire universe around this album. It’s less recommended to just listen to a track here and there — you really need to hear it all the way through. The jazz is incredible and his lyrics are poetic.

Champaign - How 'Bout Us (Expanded Edition)
84

I was just dreaming about a duo with bill labounty

Dan Fogelberg - Phoenix
73

The older you get, the more you realize just how right Dan Fogelberg was. At first, I really wasn’t a fan. But as I grew up, his music started to truly move me. It’s not my favorite style, but you have to admit the guy was a genius.

Johnny Mathis - The Best Days of My Life
68

I’m incapable of speaking badly about Johnny Mathis given his ambivalence and his ability to reinvent himself. However, I’m less of a fan of this album, which I sometimes find a bit repetitive despite some really strong hits.

Firefall - Firefall
91

A style I really liked and is quite unique

Air Supply - Making Love Out of Nothing at All
100

This is probably the greatest song ever. I've listened to this a millions times but every time I'm so amazed.

Michael Johnson - Bluer Than Blue
80

Really good soft rock song. I like that's he's not fully yacht but stays rock on this

Rex Smith - You Take My Breath Away
70

not a song that is really life changing but is quite a good song. I like his style and has a voice not that far from carmen.

The Hollies - Hollies
34

Quite boring and always the same. Couldn't finish it

Europe - The Final Countdown
68

This album is very cheesy and a big caricature of basic 80's rock. That's still my global thought but some songs are great

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
100

Always amazed whenever I listen to it. I feel like I've been transported to another universe
