In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

Pretty mediocre aside from the title track

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie

Solid album out of left-field. Going into my regular rotation.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Aug 25 2022

The second half was way better than the first half. It’s like ELO made a stasium rock album before anyone knew what the fuck stadium rock was.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Aug 26 2022

Solid album throughout with some real classics on there. Always love some Nina.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Aug 27 2022

I will forever be a Bowie fan. This is probably one of his most accessible albums for new fans as well.

The Visitors by ABBA
Aug 28 2022

Super based album. Much better than the usual ABBA fare. This is going into my regular rotation.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Aug 29 2022

Super based album. Much better than the usual ABBA fare. This is going into my regular rotation.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Aug 30 2022

Lots of hair metal meets hard rock here. Definitely see some early hard rock DNA in here that would go on to influence modern bands.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Aug 31 2022

Lots of dub mixed in with DnB. Going into my regular rotation. Buying it on CD for any late night driving sessions

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Sep 01 2022

An alright album, nothing outstanding. Very Phil Collins-esque

American Pie by Don McLean
Sep 03 2022

Who knew Don McLean wrote more than just American Pie?

Tapestry by Carole King
Sep 04 2022

R&B for the yt folks

Night Life by Ray Price
Sep 05 2022

Yup, that sure was a country album

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Sep 06 2022

Solid Marvin Gaye album. It’s classic R&B: you can’t go wrong.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Sep 07 2022

It’s not Miles’ best work, but it’s cromulent enough.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 08 2022

Not a bad little krautrock album

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Sep 09 2022

This one was a miss for me. Just a lot of generic alt rock sounds and the use of drum machine definitely made it feel more hollow

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Sep 11 2022

Solid album out of left-field. Going into my regular rotation.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Sep 12 2022

Pretty mediocre aside from the title track

25 by Adele
Sep 15 2022

What an incredibly boring album

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Sep 16 2022

Eh. Interesting enough at first, but quickly became repetitive.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Sep 17 2022

Overall solid, the B side is way better than the A side

Sep 19 2022

Not the biggest 2Pac fan, so I can’t say this album really did anything for me. Probably won’t listen to it again.

Protection by Massive Attack
Sep 20 2022

Not bad. The instrumental tracks definitely outshone the ones with vocals.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Sep 21 2022

Just not for me

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Sep 22 2022

Corny, but in a fun way

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Sep 23 2022

Reminiscent of Talking Heads and The Psychedelic Furs. Good, clean New Wave fun.

Play by Moby
Sep 24 2022

Fun, almost plunderphonics album. Interesting story behind how it came to be as well.

Imagine by John Lennon
Sep 26 2022

It’s alright

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Sep 28 2022

Solid album, especially stoned

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 01 2022

Phenomenal debut album. Easily one of their strongest offerings and one of the best nu-metal offerings of the time.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Oct 02 2022

I’m starting to think British new wave just isn’t for me
