To anyone that says, "I don't like jazz", I'd say, "You aren't listening to the right jazz for you then." Jazz is like a therapist -very personal and you may have to try a lot of it before you find the right jazz for you :) <> People on tv who liked jazz were portrayed as pretentious and the jazz they played in movies for those people was like listening to "Free Bird"'s guitar solo on repeat a bajillion times aka not for me AND THEN, Rachael played me a song or two on a most unforgettable road trip. It was big band music and it was stuff I had heard without knowing it (Thanks, Tom & Jerry). I immediately bought the Ken Burns Jazz 5-cd set and wore it out. <> Mingus looks like Bunk from The Wire - who wouldn't like that? ;-) <> Listening to this album, the 40 min flew by so I'd say I liked it as I search for Ken Burns collection on spotify...

Ingenue by k.d. lang

this is exciting to me because this is the year I graduated from high school, she looked so different and cool and I knew her from country music <> this second song reminds me of Anne Murray (if you don't know her, "Could I have this dance" was a fave in middle school); i just LOVE crooners and especially as an adult hearing her sing love songs to a woman is so inspiring - she was doing that in the 80s and 90s when that just wasn't done but she made it seem so commonplace - BRAVO, KD!; I also liked her name a lot because it sounds like Katy but is just initials :) <> Miss Chatelaine has a resort music style that reminds me of Barry Manilow's Copacabana which I like <> Outside Myself sounds like it should have been in a James Bond movie <> I also really like the music that Spotify chose based on this album :)

Ray Of Light by Madonna

I forgot just how beautiful madonnas voice is. I grew up on OG Madonna and when this album came out, it was “weird” but so Madonna :) I didn’t listen to it much because I was so nostalgic for her old stuff. I realize now just how ahead of our time this sound was. It fits way better into today’s music. <>.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 17 2021

Brings back tons of memories; being a kid and singing along; my mom hated Steve Nicks' vibrato voice but the songs were so good and still are :)

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 19 2021

punk isn't something that i naturally gravitate towards and Im not sure why because I have a lot of natural anger; I just prefer "singing" and less heavy lead guitar; first heard "Maps" when Martin and I played rock band and that is more melodic so it was nice to hear that one again

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jan 22 2021

never heard of them in my life so very intrigued < > not bad. Liked the higher voices and the weird musical instruments for the most part

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 23 2021

Some songs I liked and others I didn’t. Just not sure it’s road trip music for me.

Ray Of Light by Madonna

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jan 25 2021

Not my thing unless it is part of a movie soundtrack. It gave me anxiety

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 26 2021

As soon as I saw that it was Judas Priest I got a little PTSD from a rough childhood experience; since I am on a different journey in my life where I am trying to embrace things that I didn’t like before, I decided to give the whole album a chance. I did and a few of the song still just don’t resonate with me but I did like the songs united and the ringer. I definitely don’t see myself ever listening to Judas Priest again though :-)

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 27 2021

I liked it way more than I thought. I liked the second half way better. It was more funky and less metal.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jan 28 2021

I instantly deflated when I saw the album was another metal band. It is so not my thing. But I am trying to stay open minded to things in 2021 so I gave it a shot while I ran. Still not my thing but it was ok for running. I didn’t get any kind of feeling when listening to it.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jan 29 2021

A little more my speed. I knew a few of the songs but it was not an album I had listened to all the way through. Very dramatic and like a musical. Reminded me of rocky horror picture show.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 30 2021

Finally some music I looked forward to hearing. Reminded me of Aerosha and good times. Very comforting.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Feb 01 2021

I was excited to see some modern day music. It was a good album and definitely something I would listen to again. I also liked music that Spotify played after this. I could do Aerosha to it.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 02 2021

It was nice Monday driving music. I hadn’t heard all of the songs but I liked almost all of them.

xx by The xx
Feb 03 2021

I had no idea what this was but Indy rock is definitely something I’m intrigued by and like listening to you. I thought the album was really good and I love the combination of his voice and hers. I would definitely listen to it again and I would listen to their music in general

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Feb 04 2021

I listened to as much as I could but not for me

Blur by Blur
Feb 06 2021

I enjoyed it very much. I had no idea who they were but I recognized the type of music.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Feb 08 2021

LOVED IT back in the day and today. < > Not the best running music though ;-)

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 09 2021

Loved it!!! One of the songs started off like a nirvana sound which I liked too. Will definitely listen to this one again.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Feb 10 2021

definitely not my thing but i listened to it.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Feb 11 2021

I didn’t think that I knew who this was until about the third or fourth song and I recognized it from a movie that I liked. Overall I liked the album a lot and it was nice soothing music to listen to

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 12 2021

Never listened to a whole Rolling Stones album before. I liked it.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Feb 13 2021

Was so excited to listen to another jazz album especially one from a musician I had heard of :)

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 15 2021

Loved that there was another Fleetwood Mac album and I like how different this one sounded from the other one. Would definitely listen to it again.

Soul Mining by The The
Feb 17 2021

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Feb 18 2021

All Directions by The Temptations
Feb 19 2021

Loved this album. It was great work music - it's peppy while still being soothing.

Feb 20 2021
