Brothers by The Black Keys
May 25 2022

Great album that we already have on CD and Vinyl. I'll rock it post haste

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 26 2022

Better than I remember, some solid sleepers.

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 27 2022

A little slow for me

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
May 31 2022

It was fair, maybe just heard a bunch of others who followed in path.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jun 01 2022

Solid. Old, interesting, groovy and a fusion of different styles.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jun 08 2022
Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jun 16 2022

Great stuff and Robbie's a mensch but entirely pop which is not my bag.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 30 2022

Great listen, makes their evolution even more interesting to follow.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jul 22 2022

Didn't realize Titanium Expose was on this one.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Aug 31 2022
The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Dec 27 2022

Solid blues with some great guest appearances.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 03 2023

Master Bluesman practicing his craft

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 05 2023

It was so overplayed at the time that I kind of blocked it out, but it's or course better than I remembered, with many more deep tracks showing a maturing artist with a deep bag of songwriting and playing and a tightly assembled crew.

Cross by Justice
Jan 11 2023
Closer by Joy Division
Jan 13 2023
Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jan 24 2023

Already on the cusp of greatness. "Can't Stop Til You Get Enough" should have been the clue that deep grooves were imminent.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 25 2023

Some great ones and many good

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jan 26 2023

A masterpiece in a string of masterpieces.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Feb 13 2023

Beautiful spazzy jams mixed with with some more melodics.

Infected by The The
Feb 16 2023

Couple of decent songs.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 22 2023

Froggy Blues, good stuff.

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 03 2023

Some good songs lead off by perhaps the greatest song ever written.

Doolittle by Pixies
Mar 06 2023

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Mar 07 2023

Nice find

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 08 2023
Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 09 2023
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 10 2023
Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 17 2023

Fun album, more songs I recognized than I thought.

Ctrl by SZA
Mar 23 2023
Guero by Beck
Apr 13 2023

Some solid ones and as expected, lot's of little interesting jams.

21 by Adele
Apr 17 2023

The bomb

Apr 18 2023

9 unsuccessful jazz albums on Columbia and then Atlantic and Jerry Wexler roll out the MF Queen of Soul. RS said "It rings out like revealed truth happening in real time, a declaration of independence." A masterpiece.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Apr 20 2023

A great find. I was not that familiar with Paul Simon outside his major hits and radio songs from Graceland. A lot of the roots of that album here, good songcraft, an interesting variety of rhythms and instrumentation.

Ramones by Ramones
Apr 24 2023

White heat with barely a cigarette paper in between songs. Must have blow people away and pissed them off simultaneously.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Apr 25 2023

Big band not really my thing, but there were some nice jazzier numbers. Quite the crowd, one of the tracks is Riot Prevention and I get the sense it literally was. Must have been a scene.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Nov 30 2023
Metallica by Metallica
Jan 03 2025

Good stuff
