Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

Didn’t know anything other than bittersweet symphony. Sounds like older Radiohead. Didn’t know Wilco - drugs don’t work is a cover. Really sounds like The Bends era Radiohead. Lucky man is a good chorus

Faith

George Michael

2/5

Super echo-y Great lyrics “Sex! Hu-ahh!”

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

3/5

Guitar! “This a song off our new album. It just came out this week. It’s called Surrender“

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

3/5

Why is this on here? Alex jones thinks the chemtrails over the country club are turning the WASPs gay. I kinda like her whisper-singing thing in general, but this is maybe excessive.

Illmatic

Nas

4/5

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

3/5

5 songs - 44 min! I feel like I don’t get it. I like the songs but it’s like 60% swirly intros and outros.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

2/5

Buzzy guitar, lots of moaning and groaning. Purposefully abrasive - sometimes in a fun punk rock way, sometimes not

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

1/5

Not my jam

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

2/5

I’m supposed to think “this fucking shreds!” But I was kinda bored

Van Halen

3/5

More metal-y than I expected

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Very fun how weird it gets

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

It’s weird I’ve heard so many of these. Delightful little ditties about murder.

Forever Changes

Love

2/5

I should be in a dark incense-y room or something. Don’t remember much of this - it felt sorta bland

The Modern Lovers

3/5

Can’t decide if I like the slow-fast talk-singing. Reminds me of toned-down velvet underground. Okkervil river vocals are a lot like this. Somebody get this poor guy a girlfriend.

Eagles

3/5

Pretty cool that Take It Easy is the first song in their first album.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

Kimono My House

Sparks

3/5

Bizarre and pretty fun at times.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

3/5

Jingley jangles!

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Listened to this as intended - with like 20 liberty mutual commercials sprinkled in. Harmonica! Pretty rough vocals

School's Out

Alice Cooper

2/5

Just realized that the lines “we got no class, we got no principles” is clever. Hah why is it west side story?

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

Sounds like a steamy film noir soundtrack or something. I don’t know shit about jazz but didn’t particularly enjoy this.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

I want to go back and listen a couple more times. I like “There She Goes - My Beautiful World” a lot

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Phrenology

The Roots

4/5

Really good cover art. Really loved the first half and kinda lost interest

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Use of "oh baby" in Booksmart is one of my fav needle drops. More cowbell! I like the swirly whirly "american dream". Not my favorite of theirs but still several songs I really like, mixed in with some pretty annoying ones.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

Super dramatic and operatic.

The Joshua Tree

4/5

Pretty outrageously good first 3 songs. Mega 5 stars for those first 3, fine for the rest.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

2/5

Some real classic country. Not my thing but kind of pleasant. Should be playing on a jukebox while drinking $1 beers.

LP1

FKA twigs

4/5

Two weeks is a jam. Breathy and weird and vibe-y. Sort of pleasantly fades into the background

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

3/5

Didn't realize Frank Black was the dude from the Pixies. I was thinking this sounded a ton like the Pixies...unfortunately it sounds like the more chaotic Pixies songs that aren't my favorite.

Shadowland

k.d. lang

2/5

not really my thing, but pleasant enough. "produced by Owen Bradley, who produced Patsy Cline's best-known work." don't really know Patsy Cline but that was the comparison point I had on some of these.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

4/5

total blindspot - had never even heard of her. sounds more recent than the 70s to me. intense.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

My notes got deleted :( One of my favorites - really like debaser, hey, monkey gone to heaven. Enjoy it even when he’s basically just growling (taaaaaaame!)
