The Stranger by Billy Joel

Every song is a stone cold hit. Short and sweet, leaves you wanting more.

Pretenders by Pretenders

This is incredible! I’ve never heard the Pretenders before and am pleasantly surprised.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jan 18 2021

This is incredible! I’ve never heard the Pretenders before and am pleasantly surprised.

Jan 19 2021

I only recently started diving into the Talking Heads catalog after watching Stop Making Sense. I had only known the hits but there’s so much more to them.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jan 20 2021

Enough with The Rolling Stones! The hits are good, the rest bores me.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 21 2021

Simply beautiful. I think this album is essential to any vinyl collection.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 22 2021

The album is consistent and Buckley has a great voice, but it’s not really for me.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jan 23 2021

Every song is a stone cold hit. Short and sweet, leaves you wanting more.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Jan 24 2021

Really good! They’re like a less pretentious version of Oasis.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jan 25 2021

I get why people like it. There are catchy melodies and fun guitar riffs, but it’s too slow and repetitive for my taste. Puts me to sleep.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jan 26 2021

Pretty solid melding of genres. I’m into it! The lead guitar on “Lazyitis” is beautiful with all that reverb.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jan 29 2021

Definitely don’t like this as much as “Strangeways...” It’s not bad but some of it makes me roll my eyes.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Jan 30 2021

Love this. It’s impossible to sit still listening to Al Green.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Jan 31 2021

This is incredible! Funky and highly engaging. I never would have found this on my own.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Feb 01 2021

Wow. This is much better than I expected.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Feb 03 2021

Beautiful writing, lyrically and and musically. I find myself wishing it were someone like Stevie Nicks singing instead. Is that mean?

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Feb 08 2021

This fucking rips! I’ve never heard of this band.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Feb 12 2021

Every song is a stone cold hit. Short and sweet, leaves you wanting more.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Feb 18 2021

I acknowledge his talent as a rapper, but it’s not for me.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Feb 22 2021

Really consistent and well sequenced. Short and mellow. I love it!
