Queen! Not every song is a 5 but Queen is hard to beat.

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 09 2021

More instrumental than expected, not very familiar with Radiohead before. Reminded of Animal Collective, though softer.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Nov 10 2021

Voice halfway between Thriller/Hot Summer Night narration and typical singing. Dark/religious theme lyrics. Quieter music, style gets old by the end of the album. Select listening/Halloween would be good!

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Nov 11 2021

Not very remarkable, weird lyrics "some girls are bigger than others". Personally not interesting.

Low by David Bowie
Nov 12 2021

Good background, probably wouldn’t seek it out on it’s own. Decent within-album variety.

Nov 14 2021

This is great. Funky sound, interesting instrumental sections. I didn't follow lyrics closely but greatly enjoyed the sound. Album art reminds me of Flying Dog beer art.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Nov 15 2021

Some songs seemed harder rock, some more classic. Overall an interesting album that I should revisit to pick a favorite or two.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 16 2021

Good. I should be more familiar with Hendrix!

Nov 17 2021

Blowin in the Wind. A Classic. The rest of the album isn't varied enough to retain attention.

Nov 19 2021

Dark Fantasy is great. Sadly I mostly know Kanye through his public persona, which is "complicated". The language in rap often makes me feel like it's not a space meant for me, but the music is enjoyable. I was also surprised at the variety and consistent freshness of album's songs.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Nov 20 2021

Didn’t know what to expect. Quiet wistful lyrics with interesting instrumentals.

The Visitors by ABBA
Nov 21 2021

Similar tone across songs, always upbeat. Classic

Nov 22 2021

I don't understand West coast rap, difficulty understanding lyrics and a similar background sound made all songs sound similar to me.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Nov 23 2021

I liked the harmonica. This is good background music. The singing is meh for me.

Metallica by Metallica
Nov 24 2021

Love this as background, will listen again. 3/5 for concentrated listening, 4/5 background

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Nov 25 2021

Fun folk punk! Lyrics drew me in (surprising) despite whiney tone.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Nov 28 2021

Cross between Beatles and animal collective. Would listen again, but I'm not sure on what occasion!

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Nov 29 2021

Interesting! Somewhat eerie love songs with strange lyrics (if you were a horse).

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Nov 30 2021

Not my favorite album, even for Metallica/the genre.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Dec 01 2021

Good old music. Background.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Dec 02 2021

Classic rock, great album!

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Dec 03 2021

Loved this album. Weird rhythms and strange sounds!

Dec 04 2021

Queen! Not every song is a 5 but Queen is hard to beat.

Technique by New Order
Dec 07 2021

Dance/techno/pop, liked it.
