Blur by Blur
Jan 26 2021

Solid nirvana meets bowie, nothing too crazy.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 27 2021

Top-notch blues riffage; but lyrics as deep as a kiddie-pool

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jan 28 2021

The lyrics are cheesy, the sound dated, but oOoo baby there's magic in the pairing of this man's voice and the polished production. The King is dead, long live the King

Jan 29 2021

Incomprehensible? Often. Wandering and over-produced? Every other minute. A work of brilliance? Oh yeah. Listening to this album let's you listen as a music master goes insane. The twists and turns, the straight fire grooves, the bonkers sfx; it's no wonder Syd Barret remained the muse of Pink Floyd despite leaving after the first album. He's a madman, and I love it.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Feb 01 2021

I appreciate the clear vocal and production talent, just not my cup of tea

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 02 2021

Somehow able to blend ethereal cathedral sound with riffing rock, Jeff Buckley is a gift. His voice resonates the soul. All the more haunting given how young he left the world.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 04 2021

Solid Bluegrass Rock

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Feb 05 2021

Exceeded my expectations. Starts as fairly common 60s rock, then shines with seamless song transitions and fascinating experimentation.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Feb 08 2021

Sea Shanties. All the raw lively nature of punk, but more sailors and pubs. Not my fav, but I get the appeal

Feb 09 2021

Heartfelt and a bit funky, I appreciate the positive messages. That said, some of the 90s type hip-hop style and trying-too-hard lyrics age poorly.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Feb 10 2021

Crazy the type of sounds Eno was cooking up as far back as 1975. He's always pushing the frontier of mainstream. It makes sense he's such a pivotal player in the music behind the scenes.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Feb 11 2021

Great voice; the lyrics dig into deep narrative and character development. Tho it sometimes falls into too much edgy cynicism for my taste

Pink Flag by Wire
Feb 12 2021

Solid Punk; subverts a bit of the angst edge. Pretty standard fare tho
