Seminal. Moving in Stereo moved me the most, interesting blend of prog rock and 80s synth sound.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Beatles
A great album in the sense that pacman was a great game, clearly seminal, famous songs abound, and a step forward with the Beatles adding more orchestral sounds. Drug Beatles as my mom would call it. Digging a hole is good, Day in the Life and 64 classics but kind of played out. I just don't crave the Beatles.

Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits
Listened a few days late.
Album is extremely cheesy rock, but the riff on Money for Nothing still slaps, first bench press vibes.

Eccentric album, a song about James Bond? Reggae? Feels very British, sounds semi-Caribbean. Not particularly my cuppa.

Good gloomy music, can feel the influence it had. Songs are differentiated well but still very similar across the album. Rainy day perfect.

I guess it's early rock and country blend. It's got maggie may. Inoffensive. Every song... doesn't tell a story. Little distracted by heavy machinery outside. I'm losing you is a jam, dig the honky tonk piano

I could love this less. Same ethereal energy as Virgin Suicides with more arena sounding guitars. Reminds me of Viva Voce and solo drive to Presidio.
