Disraeli Gears by Cream
Aug 26 2022

Loved it. Sounds a bit trite to old ears

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 31 2022

Nicer than I remember. Love the the instrumental details. Can understand why they were so great.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Sep 01 2022

A classic. Have listened to this one a million times. Still love it.

Parklife by Blur
Sep 02 2022

New one for me. Think I had heard of the group but not the album. Well sounds kind of dated. Not sure how well it's held up. I'll pass.

Ramones by Ramones
Sep 05 2022

Opens with the best punk song ever recorded. Before there was even punk. Love the second track as well. Truly and interesting band. Miss em.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Sep 06 2022

Hmm. The recording was first rate. Musicianship first rate. Just not a fan of the material.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Sep 07 2022

Well I was kind of distracted so I will listen again. Sounded indulgent. But I think when I listen again with my headphones I will really like it. So going to give it a four.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Sep 08 2022

Liked it. Listened on my head phones and thought it was well recorded. Liked the bass player a lot.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Wow. And she just died yesterday. Is everyone getting this album today?

Eagles by Eagles
Sep 13 2022

It was nice. Love the sound of the acoustic guitars. So pleasant to listen to.

1984 by Van Halen
Sep 14 2022

Alright. Like some of the songs.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Sep 15 2022

Liked it. Love his voice, phrasing and chording.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Sep 16 2022

Honestly. Time has forgotten this album. So will I.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Sep 19 2022

Liked it a lot.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Sep 30 2022

I can see why you might pick this album to be on the list. Maybe if I listened to it a million times when I was younger it would resonate with me. But on a first listen now it seems mediocre. I may listen to it more and see if grows on me. and maybe not...

Moondance by Van Morrison
Oct 04 2022

Ok. A no brainer. An absolute masterpiece. A run of recordings from 1968 to 1972 where he was channeling the astral plane. His voice like a sultry saxophone. I always enjoy going back to period of his oeuvre. Spin it up. You'll agree.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Oct 05 2022

Bollywood rocks. It is Bollywood right? Very sprightly. A nice change from The Smiths albums that have been popping up on an all too regular basis. .2% of the best 1000 albums ever recorded were by The Smiths. Unto me render a break.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Oct 06 2022

Tried a number of times. Just could not latch on to this guy.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Oct 11 2022

Had never listened to this album/band/group. Love it. Will be adding to my rotation.

Oct 12 2022

Again a no brainer. One of the best collections of music by a truly inspired band. Shane's ability to create memorable melodies is other worldly.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Oct 14 2022

Hmmm. Very angry. Very lost. Was it cathartic for the young man? Puking up all that phlegm? We can only hope he has found some tranquility.

Technique by New Order
Oct 17 2022

I liked it. I like their sound. The lyrical bass lines combined with the melody singing guitar parts. And they really do make lovely melodies.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Oct 18 2022

Rock and roll. what can i say.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Oct 20 2022

I think it's the first reggae album I bought. Love the riddims.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Oct 25 2022

Lou David Pop

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Oct 26 2022

Honestly I never really listen to them when I put them on. Just turns into background music. Not sure why. Maybe try again sometime. Although I did enjoy Route 66.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Oct 28 2022

Love it

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Nov 02 2022

Never heard it before. Enjoyed it. Probably listen thru his catalog.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 03 2022

Like this one a lot.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Nov 04 2022

Sounds like typical Lenny to me. Enjoyable. Light.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Nov 07 2022

Love this album. Listened to it for the first time about 3 months ago. My sister in law was telling us about Ingrid Bergman song. So I looked it up. Really love the melodies, instrumentation and the over all sound. Gonna rate this one high.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Nov 11 2022

Love it.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 15 2022

Love it

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 22 2022

From Mary Oliver: "(In my sleep I dreamed this poem) Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift."
