Amnesiac by Radiohead

It’s clear to me how impactful this album was to so many modern albums based on how familiar it sounded despite never listening to it fully before.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jul 08 2022

Excited to finally listen to this whole album. Kind of psychedelic, experimental rock and folk. Reminded me of when I fell in love with the London Olympic Games opening ceremony music - I miss that soundtrack/playlist.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 10 2022

It’s clear to me how impactful this album was to so many modern albums based on how familiar it sounded despite never listening to it fully before.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jul 11 2022

Instrumentations were alright, but no idea why it ended up on this list.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jul 12 2022

Blues honestly is not my favorite genre and I know I completely miss the point of it. I can tell these folks were vibing and the quality was good, but I was left feeling bored.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 13 2022

Mature but unrefined at the same time. Serious and fun. Glad I listened to it.

Jul 14 2022

Alive, honest, loud, desperate, angry. Surprised I recognized two or three of the songs on this album.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jul 15 2022

This was more impressive than I had hoped. This group has a soft, gentle, safe rock-psych moment before they are forced into chintzy surf pop. The vocals shine, especially in the last track.

Timeless by Goldie
Jul 18 2022

Definitely of an “era”. Noticed a sampled snare rhythm that I’ve heard before. The album seemed repetitious in its motifs, it seemed they were quite excited about being revolutionary!

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jul 23 2022

It was fine folk, but a bit repetitive.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jul 25 2022

Clear evolution through the album into more experimental areas. Enjoyed the vocals and liked the folk-rock mixtures.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jul 26 2022

Some skippable songs, but overall incredible vocals and progressively more progressive.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jul 28 2022

Beautiful, soaring vocals. Interesting instrumentation. Great vibes.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Aug 01 2022

I always enjoy albums that have songs of both - familiar and tried, plus evolutionary.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Aug 05 2022

At first I was worried this would be happy-go-lucky disconnected smile pop from the 70s, but I got the sense that as the album progressed the drugs and depth came in…ha!

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Aug 06 2022

I had no idea. Incredible vocals. Emotion. Wow.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 23 2022

Clearly an influence. Timeless.
