Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

I know this isnt their most appreciated album, but I really enjoy it. That ending with Wolf at the Door.. wow.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Oct 05 2022

Awesome to listen to it in full again. You can hear his zeitgeist and critical thinking about classism throughout.

Fragile by Yes
Oct 06 2022

It's a fun listen, i have to say, but too busy to put on most days, for my liking. I do enjoy the funky baselines. And there's a weird musical theatre intermezzo somewhere? Interesting.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Oct 07 2022

Starts with a song that could be a sitcom intro, but I think that might be intentional, sarcastically. Fun record, high energy, but not very fresh or unique.

Elastica by Elastica
Oct 10 2022

I really liked this! I've never heard of them, so thank you.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Oct 11 2022

Dad rock pur sang. I never gave them a *good* listen, so I'm glad I did now, because I have underrated it.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Oct 14 2022

I didn't care for this album much. It's an OK listen, British pop/rock band. Maybe a bit ahead of it's time when it came out, but I don't think there's much that keeps it relevant today.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Oct 17 2022

I liked Side A, but Side B slides towards just unintelligible noise and frustrated grunts. I don't have the heaps of nostalgia with this records some people have.

Cross by Justice
Oct 20 2022
Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Nov 02 2022

I didn't know this group and I really enjoyed it.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Nov 04 2022

One of my favourite albums of all time

Stankonia by OutKast
Nov 07 2022

Imho, this didn't age that well in terms of sound.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Nov 16 2022

Not very interesting

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 10 2023

I have been stuck on this album for a while. Not that I think it's bad, it's just that noisy shoegaze is something I don't seek out to listen to any time, I never feel like it. Which is not a value proposition at all, just preference. I'd even say it's pretty good for what it does and it was an influential album so for that reason it is interesting.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jun 14 2024

Een piano virtuoos, fifties swing jazz. Cool, maar ik raak er na een tijdje wel op uit gekeken.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jun 17 2024

I know this isnt their most appreciated album, but I really enjoy it. That ending with Wolf at the Door.. wow.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 25 2024

Felt a bit uninspired, the tempo, the lyrics. I did like the melodies in most songs. Made for a different generation.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jun 27 2024

This listen took me to someone elses's experience of life (ending). Someone of a different gender, age, nationality and religion than myself. And I loved it exactly for that.
