I like this album a lot. I had heard it before obvi, but it is just a bunch of solid songs one after the other and I don't think I ever have the desire to skip any.

Low by David Bowie
Jan 15 2021

Not really Bowie hits I had heard before, but it had the original sound and vision which I enjoyed since I had only heard the cover. I can definitely hear how this album may have influenced future artists. It definitely has some elements that feel more modern than I might expect from an album from 1977.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Jan 18 2021

I love the mamas and the papas and this album I hadn't listened to by itself and it had some greats on it, but even the songs I hadn't heard were great. Just some great upbeat songs

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jan 21 2021

Nothing special to me sadly. Probably revolutionary but also listened on a bike ride so I am underappreciating.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Sep 24 2024

Enjoyed the first couple songs, but kinda lost my attention later on. But cool music to add into the mix and different than I am used to listening to.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Sep 25 2024

Not my favorite genre of music. To me it sounded same-y throughout, but there were fun songs on there like Dig Me Out and Heart Factory. That said I bet seeing them at a show when I was young would have rocked and I can see how this album is on here even if it's not my cup of tea.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Sep 26 2024

Sounds like John Hartford doing a little bit of Marty Robbins with a hint of Bob Dylan or Pink Floyd. Didn't strike me that hard as something I will want to revisit, but I can see it being influential at the time. Feels like Charlie Chaplin movies, I think people have built on the stuff so it's no longer funny to me, but its kinda wild to think they pioneered it back then.

The Specials by The Specials
Sep 27 2024

Fun and upbeat. I didnt realize they did Monkey man. I also liked Nite Klub and Message to Rudy

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Sep 28 2024

Kinda just Rolling Stones to me

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Oct 02 2024

Ended up listening 3-4 times. The song Race for the Prize had this feeling like it was out of a video game in a cool way.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Oct 04 2024

Want to listen again but the first song rules

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Oct 05 2024

Very nice and smooth. Like the cover of summer breeze on this album

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 06 2024

Had only heard the one song but really ended up enjoying the whole album

Movies by Holger Czukay

Awesome and weird

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Oct 14 2024

Good beats and very smooth. Kinda reminded me of diggable planets. The weird sexual interludes were just kinda annoying. General Hospital is an all timer like 5 piece chicken dinner

Aja by Steely Dan
Oct 18 2024

All the bangers

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

Good. Pirate vibes but definitely a good listen all the way through
