Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

I learned that it's "Band on the Run" and not "Man on the Run." Otherwise, it's a fun listen but not something I'd come back to with any frequency.

Suede

2/5

Okay, but nothing I'd come back to.

Google tells me this album was innovative for its time. Fine as background music, but pretty boring.

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

4/5

Terrific album. I had listened to this a little while living in Austin in the early 2000s, but I totally did not appreciate it at the time. The story of this album really captures the tension between the good parts of the South and all the bad. I love the storytelling and the connections to Skynyrd and Young. Will definitely put this and other Drive-By Truckers albums in my regular rotation.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Such an amazing voice.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

Not sure what to say about this one. Not my thing.

The spare sound of Bruce and his guitar fits perfectly with the stories told in these songs.

Eternally Yours

Not sure how I’ve never heard of the Saints before. Solid album.

1/5

This is a weird album. I know constant craving. Most of the other songs on the album sound totally different and have an odd bossa nova thing going on that I didn’t expect.

Cheap Thrills

Fun album. Janis had such a unique voice.

The lyrics are interesting and I generally like the music, but combined they create something that I definitely wouldn't listen to again.

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

1/5

No words.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

4/5

Great album. Brings together several of my favorite things - Guthrie, Wilco, folk, and union songs. Love California Stars. This is the just the first volume. The complete sessions are terrific.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

2/5

Some tracks are good, but I’d need to be trippin’ to make it through the full album.

The Specials

3/5

Good album. Not sure I'd listen to the whole album again, but enjoyed this listen. Definitely can hear how this influenced later ska or semi-ska bands like Sublime.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

Not my favorite Costello album, but I still enjoyed it.
