Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Dope and relaxed. Alto? Control her voice well. Great piano work.

Le Tigre

3/5

Samples, punk, drum machines, women's lib. A few catchy songs. Reminds me of a poor man's Stereolab at times.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

3 classics. Vintage 80s sounds. Interesting sax work. AOR. Good experimental production (live sounds). Each song builds.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

4/5

Such a good epic. Will add to regular rotation. Love how he just grooves with an idea.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

Bass and drum heavy. I like this but it seems not that big of a deal. But, it was the first of its kind so that’s what makes it groundbreaking

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I see why this is a classic. First RS listened to in it’s entirety. Very bluesy which is what I’ve heard before, as to Beatles being more pop than rock. Honky Tonk woman first draft?

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

2/5

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

3/5

Reminds me of a free form Pixies. Good background music if you are feeling a little agro while exercising or doing physical activity

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

Very cheeky. A strange mix of styles, from pirate music (Harry Rag) to straight rockers (David Watts). Enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

4/5

Classic from high school for me. Let’s go!!! Lol

Dire Straits

3/5

Pretty good.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

4/5

Lots of free form expression here. Love the interplay between distorted guitars and brass. Great. Dirge like at times.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Literate folk. Different versions of some songs that I’ve always heard another way.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

The Clash

2/5

Elastica

3/5

I want to give this a 4, but I need to listen a little more. Still, pretty solid post punk. Some songs really stood out to me.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

I guess I was in a different head space when this came out and didn’t seek it out. My loss. This slaps. Love it.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

3/5

Likes this more than I thought I would. Sounds like straight country, which is my least preferred genre, but they do well with it.
