I am pretty sure I’m pro-Bowie..I am not anti-Bowie or Bowie-neutral. I am however still seeking the album that REALLY gets me into Bowie. I believe I am someone who can and should be really into Bowie. Aladdin Sane is coming across my musical path I think at the right time for me to discover MY Bowie album. Is this it? Time will tell - but I am inspired now to dig back into this catalogue.

I #respect Velvet Underground and Lou Reed’s contribution to music and the influence of so many of the bands I love. I don’t dislike this but it’s not for me. I’ll keep trying. The dish of a cooky deep voice guy is best served by Iggy Pop for this reviewer

Good for Kate Bush

Oh! That song is called Babylon. Someone likes Dylan, got it.

4 out of 20 if ya KNOW WHAT I MEAN

Was going to give you a three but the album just kept going, Slippies must enjoy a long album

Cool! Then weird.. Then cool! Then scary

Jazz

FUN

It’s jazz!

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would

Je ne sais pas

I too have listened to the Beatles

Fuckin love this

Safe 90s rock is better than some, worse than others

I like music I like sitar I like learning

Every year I get older I get more into James Taylor. A quintessential attribute of my suburban white dad final form I have to assume

If you liked this, check out the history of rock in Latin America documentary on Netflix. I’ve got a corresponding playlist on Spotify too. If you didnt like this, also check out that documentary and then maybe you will

Gimme this all day. Added to the Drinking and game playing rotation. Good candidate for vinyl purchase

Making an assessment based on the three songs on Spotify. I think it get it

I mean..it’s Rush..cmon now

I enjoy reading the wiki entries on each of the albums and this one was a good one that reinforced why this album stands out from the rest of the random late 70s to mid 80s British bands that have an entry on this list. tldr; “Richard Hell but good. See Black Flag, Robert Pollard, and Franz Ferdinand”

Holy Eno, Batman. Tommy likey

Don’t know if it’s how little music I listened to this week or if it’s just a bunch of bangers right in a row. Bob rules

Compared to what I thought this was gonna to sound like starting off, this album was actually really badass. Every time I thought they were about to lose me they hit a guitar solo or breakdown that was hitting the spot. Definitely will go back to this when I’m in the mood

I go back and forth between “Paul Simon is so good” and “okay, Paul Simon..I get it”

Music for airports got me through a lot of grad school coding projects and has served me well when I’ve needed to call on it since. Good stuff, aptly named. I Stan Eno

2000s Brit rock got it

Groovy

The Isley Brothers absolutely kick ass always

Beautiful, haunting, above my mental pay grade

If I ever need to pick music at a luxury resort ocean / poolside happy hour I have my album

“Bust a nut inside your eye to show you where I come from” …cmon now

File under : 90s on 9

Pretending I remember a song from this album, fun listen but nothing memorable to this reviewer

Young Neil + Stephen Stills = Less refined CSN&Y magic

Fun 80s Tina Turner ROMP

Randy Newman -thank you for your service. My third and final wish is to set you, and us all free

New space music for coding, blessed

Okeydoke

Always been Beck-neutral. Nothing changing here

Hell yea

File under ‘we get it buddy, you’re from London and like weird late 70s early 80s shit’

Coldplay puts me back in a very specific time

[Michael Bluth looking into bag marked ‘The a-ha album with take on me on it’ “I don’t know what I expected”

This is good and nice and fine but the kind of modern alt radio sound that doesn’t quite get me and that’s okay. I can hear the Bowie in them, that’s cute

Hell yea

Ya know not bad

Nothing but love & respect for Lou Reed & the gang

Yes

I wonder what it’s like to have written the album that inspired 10 Fast & the Furious movies

Spook synth with lots of non-commercial stuff on purpose according to the Wikipedia article. Plus 1 star for naming it music for the masses when the intent was the opposite

Elvis Costello neutral

A pleasant listen of early rock n roll / soul

A delightful Bowie time

Ben Folds does a great cover of Songs of Love so this gets an extra star. Pleasant listen, something different

I’m okay

Classic Clash

Catchy pop hooks in some classicest of rocks. Nothing to complain about but nothing to fawn over

Lots of people get super horny for the Stones. Not this reviewer so much. Good album - calm down

Extremely uncomfortable but also very good. I am torn. Might go back to this. 3 for now

Peace sign emoji

A pleasant 60s folk

Actually kinda liked this one

Weird how I’ve only ever heard Where is my Mind off this album just kidding. Extra points for being only 1/2 an hour long

Absolute fucking classic

I only have one ‘the boss’ and it’s MY WIFE!!! Am I right, fellas?? Never really been a Bruce guy. Sorry

‘Stay with me’ was already a classic in this house, love the cover of ‘Memphis’ and the supporting tracks on this album. Rock on

A fun album from 1966 that sounds like a fun album from 1966

I don’t necessarily love or not love Coldplay but as I’ve reviewed the other album(s) their music takes me back to high school era days very distinctly. Points for that

Talking over hard riffs

Much love to Bob & crew always

Decided I’m a guy who really likes Talking Heads now, saved to my albums

It’s the Rolling Stones

This album is great because it also contains the 1001 greatest guitar riffs you must listen to

Loved it. Saved forever

Not for me

This is what the goths in Letterkenny listen to, but not what I listen to

Absolute classic

Okay!

Yes

I feel good

Overall some of that good catchy pop stuff in here that bothers me less when it isn’t the 1000th time I’ve heard it that week. I still cringe every time she says haters or players or ‘fa sho’

Had it on at work, nothing stood out as good or bad

This was..fine

Fun!

File under 90s rock

File under 60s rock

Gary Numan kicks ass

Very Stephen Stills, pleasant

Absolutely kicks ass

Fine

Ooh la la

Playing in the background

Paul Simon - always good, but calm down

Always here for some Young Neil

Indifference where I feel I should have more feelings

It played in the background of me working, thanks

A delightful rainy morning listen

I am #always #available for some Joni

You already know

🤟

Some really fun stuff in here, only complaint is it felt kind of long but it is a soundtrack so I DUNNO

Like all Rolling Stones albums - A fine Rolling Stones album

I’m not moody enough for this on the regular, but maybe with winter coming up, maybe

This was fine but file under electronic that’s on this list because UK

Some good tunes, minus points for Van Morrison being insane

If this excitement has taught me anything it’s that I guess I like Rod Stewart

Carried largely by the two big hits, the rest is great if I’ll be having a little somethin somethin beforehand

Gotta give it up

Absolute bangers

Some standard Brit pop for me

Giving Oasis the edge here in the Brit pop battle because Rock and Roll Star will always make me think of You All Everybody

This is a classic rock album

Jazzy

Good stuff

Boring

Anyone who is friends with Michael Kiwanuka is a friend of mine. This is the rap I’m here for

All I can think is that these are songs that Ben Folds would do a cover of

I looked up why this is considered an important album, and that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean I have to care

File under St Paddy’s Day

When it’s time to rage there is no more aptly named band or album

I got a little bored SORRY

This is the shit I am here for

Some of the hits, overall kind of weird to listen to in the modern era

I don’t remember any of this

The most redeeming thing about Bruce is how easy he made it for people to do funny impressions of him. While I made it through this one easier than the last, my guy just isn’t anything more than okay to me

Groovy

Absolutely fantastic shit that I ignored for so long just because I hated how beloved it was in middle school or whatever

Good concentration music

A good reminder that Bruno Mars only exists because Marvin Gaye gave him permission

The Wikipedia page references this album being a mix between Off the Wall and Revolver, I hear it. A cooler description than sounds in actuality

I mean, great. Someone had to do it I guess. But of the ding dong beep boops to work or study this isn’t the one I’d choose first

A peaceful drive home

Same feelings as The Marshall Mathers LP but better

A fine collection of Yachty delights

I like the cardis

I’m into this - but I’m also a little high. I’ll try again later to make sure

LA Woman or bust

A delightful folky journey

Pretty chill Brit boy sample hop

Okay?

A funky good time

File under ‘horny albums’

Groovy baby

Soft spot

Birdland is fun still

Here for it

Okeydoke

Identifying Soundgarden - Yep, it’s Soundgarden

Journey Complete!
