slower zep.
fav track: that's the way
Consistently hilarious (“shut up already, damn!”) while showing all manner of musical prowess and staying funky as hell. Both intimate and all-encompassing.
Fav track: forever in my life
incorporates classical in a way i sure like
fav track: cans and brahms
a real London record! it's fun to think of bjork as a hot young thing running around the city, maybe saying "fuck John Major" to anyone who will listen.
fav track: like someone in love
purty decent, if a little obtuse
fav track: havalina
disaffected jazzy krautrock pop by a man obsessed with cocaine. lovely tho

smoky riffy take on the blues. sounds great.
fav track: the wind cries mary
fittyleven samples coheres into one funk groove
c'es l'avenir!

i am a masochist for this album and it never stops beating me up

fav track: Sem Contenção
american equivalent to Sticky Fingers is good, but not better than Sticky Fingers! come on, mick!
fav track: whiskey woman
yesterday the american rolling stones (flamin groovies), today the american beatle. what an incredible record. gorgeous way to start the day.
fav track: jump into the fire
post-rock lite. certainly could live a very full life without hearing this record.
fav track: green eyes
it's a classic for a reason. bad bitch.
fav track: 50ft queenie
good post punk. nothing as catchy as “teenage kicks” tho
fucking PRESENCE
fav track: long tall sally
solid outing, if overshadowed by their better known work
fav track: doin' our own dang
as holy as it is human
fav track: hey, that's no way to say goodbye
so good it's not even fair. i will play every track on the jukebox until the end of time.
it's big, it's english, it's the 80s
fav track: tears are not enough
brought punk to the mainstream
fav track: god save the queen
ridiculous and old timey and la mf prima
fav track: jump, jive an' wail
somewhat expectedly beautiful african folk. glad to know it.
fav track: lakutshn ilanga
hard, if not impossible, to compare his work to his father's. his shadow looms large but this is still worth a listen!
fav track: changes
perfectly balanced and smooth. as good as rap gets.
fav track: it ain’t hard to tell
perhaps someday the music of 2002 will appeal to me. but most of it remains offputting and unenjoyable to me in a way i find difficult to describe.
fav track: paradise
pleasant, heady britpop
fav track: idiot brother
slobberknocker of a genre mixup girded by house music. perfect debut.
fav track: around the world
jesus, what a carnival. send me into the ether with this on the stereo.

fav track: 2 kool 2 be 4-gotten
Great Album that some call The Greatest Album.

holy fuck! my favorite led zeppelin album and it's really not even close. bluesy and powerful and huge and perfect.
fav track: boogie with stu
conceptually kinda enjoyable, weird as hell to listen to.
fav track: opus dei
plays like a greatest hits collection, making it full of highs that are somewhat disjointedly sequenced.
good, if toothless, folk
fav track: suite: Judy blue eyes
sonically so y2k that it makes me puke, lyrically and melodically childish to the point of grating. i do not like to listen to this.
fav track: stuck in a moment you can't get out of
psychedelic classic. feels like acid.
fav track: astronomy domine
you know what? i really fuck with it. it's ironic how straightforward alanis is given her most famous song is called "ironic". ok i'm done.
fav track: hand in my pocket
classic! i prefer his concept records but this is a real crowd pleaser.
fav track: makin' whoopee
badass synth pop that must have sounded like the future in 1982
