Play by Moby
Aug 19 2022

I can see why this album was a hit at the time, but also not all of it aged well. The album got pretty repetitive. This isn't my preferred genre so probably wouldn't give it another listen, but wouldn't skip a song if it was in a random playlist.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Aug 22 2022

It has been ages since I've listened to this album and it is amazing how great it still sounds. One of the best debut albums from a band ever. Energetic, fun. Only one skip (I Think About You doesn't do it for me) on this classic. It's amazing Axl can even talk any more after his banshee hollering on this album. I love it but it has got to be awful for the vocal chords.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Aug 23 2022

I'm underwhelmed. There are some real gems (Billion Dollar Babies, Mary Ann, No More Mister Nice Guy) but over all, this isn't the album for me.

Suede by Suede
Aug 24 2022

Meh.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Aug 25 2022

His soulful voice on a random Wednesday lifted my spirits. Fantastic album. Yes, Al - I want to stay together.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Aug 26 2022

It's like you got a abstract jazz band, put them in the same room as blues band and told them to play different songs at the same time. I see moments of potential but it is a little too all over the place for me to enjoy this.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Aug 30 2022

Enjoyable album. I know- unpopular opinion - but I love Nineteen hundred and eighty five.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Aug 31 2022

Surprised by how entertaining this was

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Sep 14 2022

I was not familiar with Nick Drake and found this surprisingly likable.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Sep 15 2022

For this to be one of the albums I have to listen to before I die, it is not easy to find on some services. However, after work - it is very glam 80s rock - which can be fun when you are in the mood for it.
