Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow

I don't get this album, pretty sure that I listened to it before a couple of times but it doesn't inspire anything in me at all. Maybe it's an album of it's time but not for me.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 20 2021

Vanilla. I don't get R.E.M., soft soft rock. Nothing inspiring about it.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 22 2021

Nice and chilled but hard to put it anywhere on par with the Legend compilation. Easy listening in the background, nothing more.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 25 2021

Nice and funky, enjoyed listening to this. Highlight is the opening track 'Peter Piper'. Sound of the time again like DJ Shadow though.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jan 26 2021

I could see how you could get absorbed in this album without ever getting too invested in it. Reminds me of Beach House of the xx that I've listened to lots in the past but couldn't recall one song from memory.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 27 2021

Just ok. Was never a Bruce fan. Nice to hear waiting on a sunny day in here though, my favourite song of his. Took a weird turn towards the middle of the album.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Jan 29 2021

First I compared it to the Stone Roses, but after reading a little about the band I could get the Velvet Underground vibes. Underwhelming overall, decent background music!

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 01 2021

Actually a very nice little album, never heard of it before. Good vocals. Would listen to that again.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Feb 02 2021

Nice and short and snappy. Eric Clapton = gentle, inoffensive guitar with background organs. Unique sound to be fair.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Feb 03 2021

I'm not even going to pretend that this album was any good. Pure pretentious muck, would not waste another 40 minutes of my life listening to it that's for sure. Electronic music that you would probably need to be on acid to appreciate.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 04 2021
Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Feb 05 2021

12 Songs 28 minutes. Opens up with a cracker in Blue Suede Shoes. I Got a Woman too great tune. Tooti Frutti. Great stuff

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 11 2021

Excellent first 10 or so tracks but the rest of the album left me a little underwhelmed. Bit of bias coming into it I guess as this is often mentioned as one of the best albums of all time. But again, hard to score when it's clearly an album of it's time and was revolutionary.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 17 2021

Daycent enough. Ok background music.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Feb 19 2021

Beatles-lite. Rock and roll sure was different back in the day! Nothing really stood out to me. Weirdly as I was typing this a song called 'My Back Pages' sounded nice. Most listened to song on the album on Spotify. Always find it weird that these songs stand out, full albums are built around them.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Feb 23 2021

Unexpected treat. Nice smooth music, never heard of this guy before.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Mar 09 2021

Decent, never usually listen to metal music but this had a nice sound. 3***

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Mar 12 2021

This was just ok. Not 1* but might give it 2**, I'm sure he must have had better albums than this

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 16 2021

Ok, have never really listened to Pink Floyd before but have obviously heard of this album. And when you listen to it along with some of the other albums that make the 1001 list, there is no contest. This is great great stuff. Even with all 'filler' between songs, it doesn't feel forced or contrived. Such a nice flow to it. 4*

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Dec 13 2022

Been a while since I listened to this. Different sound but very unique. Love it.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Dec 15 2022

Nostalgia job straight back to 2010. This was in my phase where I thought I was pure cool listening to different music. Decent album though.
