Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 03 2022

A few memorable tracks, but on second listen the first 2 songs are already growing on me.

London Calling by The Clash
Dec 13 2022

The good tracks I've heard a million times although I'll never get tired of Lost in the Supermarket. I bet at the time it came out it was the equivalent to when The Strokes released Is This It?

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Dec 14 2022

I used to be way into Clapton until I found out how much of a dick and racist he is. It is tough to separate the art from the artist. Like Michael Jackson hard.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Dec 15 2022

Wow, what a great album. I would describe it as "lush".

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Dec 19 2022

Eh, not what I was wanting to hear this morning. He was a poet first and his lyrics reflect that. The music is soft and quiet and usual downtrodden. I'm sure it is good, but I needed something more uplifting today.

Document by R.E.M.
Jan 12 2023

I've listened to most of these songs again. While influential, the ones I hadn't heard didn't really catch my attention.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jan 13 2023

I was not into this album. Not because it is terrible. It just was not my jam.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 17 2023

Great rock album. Nothing to complain about here. It is played out for a reason.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jan 18 2023

Not impressed by these talented guys.

Jan 20 2023

20 years ago I would've given this album a 4/5, but I've played it so much I've just heard it too much...

Jan 23 2023

I've never been a fan of his. When he came out I thought he was crass. Now I think he was just immature. Either way, not my thang. I give him 2 stars for his rhyming skills alone.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 25 2023
Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jan 31 2023

Its good music. I get it. It just doesn't do anything for me. I couldn't find depth to their lyrics.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Feb 02 2023

So I've been a fan of the song "Mr. Soul" since Widespread Panic covered it in the 90s. I later learned that Neil put it on his album Trans using a vocoder or some effect that sounded out of this world. That album was also panned, which probably made me like it even more. Now I learn that the song goes back to his days with Buffalo. So far that is the only track I like. The others have been "meh".

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Feb 03 2023

Fun, short album by some kids inspired by blues and early rock n roll. Most songs are covers and done well. Production is good. Little originality.

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 06 2023

Awesome album. When they came on the scene they were huge. They were in the same sentences with The Beatles. No stinkers on this album.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Feb 07 2023

Gawd I love this album. It is an acquired taste. Dude was a poet first.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 08 2023

L got me into her. She seems to be a beautiful person and (I think) this is one of her more popular albums. There is a reason for that.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Feb 09 2023

Not my cup of tea. I'm sure it is great, but I wasn't in the mood for it.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Feb 10 2023

Eh, I'm not much on this album, but the blues tracks they cover are pretty dope.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Feb 13 2023

Wow, this album rocked way more than I thought it would. I'll be checking this one out again.

Feb 14 2023

I was expecting more. But I get it. This comes from earlier in his career. This is all soul, no funk.
