Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Aug 26 2022

I can definitely understand why Miles Davis was so influential to Jazz. I can recognize how he has influenced even some rap artists I listen to. The opening track is stunning with what he can do on the trumpet. I like the fast, snappy pace of most of the tracks. I feel like this is something that should be listened to on vinyl; digital doesn't do it justice. You need to feel it. The trombone solo in Deception makes me miss playing trombone myself. I don't listen to jazz much because there's just so much of it and I don't know where to start, so this was very helpful. I love the genre so much and have been tapping my foot throughout the whole album. It's very noticeable that there is emotion in the songs; Miles Davis portrays it so well.

Pink Flag by Wire
Aug 27 2022

I have no idea what they're saying; this is my kind of rock. Although now this feels more like punk. To be honest, I didn't know when punk started, but in or around 1977 would not have been my guess.

The Visitors by ABBA
Aug 29 2022

I literally grew up on Mama Mia. I have loved ABBA since I was a tiny child. There are very few songs that make me shiver and Head Over Heels has now been added to that list.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Aug 30 2022

It's some very classic jazz. Easy to listen to, but a little too easy. There really wasn't anything interesting about it to me.

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 01 2022

Very funky. A genre I haven't heard before or at least can't name. There was nothing particularly exciting about it but it wasn't bad background music.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 02 2022

I am already a big fan of Kendrick, but I haven't listened to this album as of yet. So far it obviously doesn't disappoint, Kendrick is always good. I'm particularly loving Backseat Freestyle. Unfortunately though, my experience of this album has been tainted by Vine and meme culture as I can't help but think of them when I hear m.A.A.d city or Swimming Pools (Drank). However, As always, Kendrick excels lyrically and even though we've come from completely different backgrounds, I feel like I can understand.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Sep 03 2022

Obviously everyone knows The White Stripes because of Seven Nation Army, and I'd heard some of their other stuff like I Fell in Love With a Girl. However, this album was not what I was expecting. The mix of genres or just feels was reminiscent of why I fell in love with another band, Gorillaz. I also had no idea that We're Gonna Be Friends was by them, so that was quite a surprise.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Sep 04 2022

A very interesting album. I like the style of music but it was just too long for my liking.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Sep 06 2022

A very interesting folky-country feel. Nothing extraordinary though.

B-52's by The B-52's
Sep 07 2022

A very Austin Powers-like feel. I like it a lot.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

I can't believe the timing on this 💀 Anyway, I am already a pretty big fan of The Smiths but the only song on this album I was familiar with was There Is a Light The Never Goes Out. It was interesting to hear some of the other stuff they've done

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 11 2022

There wasn't really anything special about it to me except for the fact that I didn't recognize Heads Will Roll until it played.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Sep 13 2022

Always love the Beatles.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Sep 15 2022
Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Aug 12 2023

Haha sex song Yknow I didn't really believe that he wanted to get it on after the first song. But I was definitely convinced by "Keep Gettin' It On" that he was gettin' it on.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Aug 13 2023

Read that this is considered one of the first concept albums. I like concept albums. Also, Frank Zappa is in it? I would not have known without looking that up... I'm not very keen on my 60s rock. It made me look into the freak culture of the west coast in the 60s and it was so fascinating. If you don't know anything about it, look up the Hunter S. Thompson Aspen sheriff campaign. It's fascinating. Also "it doesn't bother me at all that you're only 18 baby, I've got some motherly love for you" is crazy lmaoooo. I love the silly voice they do when they're mocking someone. I'm also loving the weird use of a kazoo (?) in so many songs?? It Can't Happen Here so crazy I added it to my liked songs. I am confused though, because in "The Return Of The Son Of Monster Magnet" there are lyrics on Spotify but I'm not hearing them? Am I just stupid? I think this track is making me go crazy

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Aug 16 2023

Love me some good pop-punk and british men. Very cute and fun album I must say

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Mar 16 2024

these guys are so silly?? such fellas. also psycho killer is a banger

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Mar 17 2024

I really enjoy the intro to their very first song. Instantly hooked. So far, it sounds like something my mom would like /pos. I kind of just feel like I'm in a coming-of-age movie montage while this plays. Also a lot of the more common genres of rock don't appeal to me that much, they sound kind of corny most of the time. These guys especially kind of sound like if Mordecai and Rigby had a real band. Like this is exactly the music they'd make.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 18 2024

this rendition of my generation is too damn long oh my god.. also nothing about this album really intrigued me too much. they seem like cool dudes but the music is not very interesting. I also like how you can tell from the cheering that the audience is British lmaoooo

Mar 19 2024

I'd heard of Ray Charles, but never really actually listened to him. I understand why he was so popular and made a big impact on music in general.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Mar 20 2024

My mom was a huge Genesis fan, so I'm sure she would love this album. I'm gonna have to listen again because I feel like I was a little too distracted to give an accurate rating. He's got some very interesting songs and unique style.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Mar 21 2024

I love the Pixies. Obviously, I've known Where Is My Mind? off this album for a while, my girlfriend introduced me to it. However, this whole album is a perfect little pill of indie-alt-rock. It's honestly great that it's only 33 minutes, making for a nice quick listen, but of course, I also wish it were longer at the same time. Also I can't believe this is their first album... They really hit the ground running!

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Mar 22 2024

The best songs in the world weren't good enough for Stevie Wonder so he made them and put them all on the same album.

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 23 2024

Some awesome 70s alt. Inspired me to start a 70s playlist.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Mar 24 2024

Kinda sounds like Beck? Need to listen again.

The White Album by Beatles
Mar 30 2024

Can't beat something as iconic as this. However, in my opinion, there are a lot of skips on this and stuff that kinda gets tuned out.
