Very by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 06 2022

Sound a lot like the Pet Shop Boys. Good - not great. Best song is Go West. 3/5

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Nov 07 2022

Trailblazers. I can hear so much of groups to come on this album - Yaz, Dépêche Mode, Erasure…….so many. I really enjoyed this album and have recommended it to others.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Nov 08 2022

Classic album. I’ve already listened to this hundreds of times. Saw them on the tour supporting this album back in the late 1980s. My favorite song is Hysteria my least listened to song would be excitable or run riot. While all songs “fit” this album, those two are my least favorite. Great album that is a super quick listen because it is easy on the ears.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Nov 09 2022

I do not recall hearing this band before. Despite that - they sound familiar. They sound very British and some of the songs remind me of The Beatles or Oasis. It is an entertaining album.

The Score by Fugees
Nov 10 2022

Lauryn Hill is what I like most about this album. Such a clear, strong and beautiful voice. I will listen to her songs again - not the whole album.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Nov 12 2022

Great stoner album.

Synchronicity by The Police
Nov 13 2022

I do lot recall the last time I listened to this album. What a swan song (album) for such a great and influential band. It is a great listen and every song gets your attention. Also takes me back!

Imagine by John Lennon
Nov 14 2022

Good album containing some all time classics. More background music for me.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Nov 15 2022

Only heard singles from this group before. Wish I would have listened to the album sooner! Great tracks that keep you interested and nice beats. Solid album.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Nov 18 2022

Cool, funky and a great Listen.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Nov 19 2022

Never listened to this album before. While there are definitely some Dylan songs I really like, I did not like all on here.

Nov 20 2022

I tried - I really did - just not my thing. While it has a rhythm and beat to it, I don’t totally understand this music.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Nov 21 2022

I have never heard of this band. With pretty much every track I feel as if I am waiting for the song to begin - as if it is unfinished. Good background music……I guess.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Nov 25 2022

Nah.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Nov 28 2022

Meh

Achtung Baby by U2
Nov 29 2022

I loved this album when it came out and I still love it. It was the next chapter for U2 after The Joshua Tree. Great songs.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Dec 01 2022

Good old fashioned rock and roll.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Dec 14 2022

Good old fashioned rock and roll

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Dec 19 2022

LOVED this album. Kid rock owes them a big thank you card for his career. This album seemed so groundbreaking and different to me. Is it rap? Is it metal? It was just good. It was also a bit cheeky - which I liked.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Dec 20 2022

The soundtrack of my teen years. Not a bad song on this album. From the cheeky You can call me Al to the harmonies of Under African skies - such deep and rich music. Although, I never understood why an album with such African music influence was named after, and a song about, Elvis’ home.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Dec 22 2022

I listened once…..that’s enough.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Dec 24 2022

Bought this album after hearing the song Fast Car. She has such an emotive voice. Honest, raw storytelling.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Dec 27 2022

I had only heard the song Sultans of Swing from this album. I like that song and liked the others on the album. Bluesy with a bit of country/western mixed in. This album is different from the more mainstream and pop-ish album that I remember well, Brothers in Arms, in the early 1980s. . Would I listen to this album again? Probably not, but I did not mind listening to it today.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Dec 29 2022

Never heard of the Monks. I was ok with that.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 01 2023

Considering this was the album before the behemoth, Born in the USA, it’s a bit surprising how mellow it is. I did enjoy it - good background music.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 03 2023

Great album. When I come around is one of those that has always drawn my attention. It’s a “feel good” song for me.

Tical by Method Man
Jan 10 2023

Pass

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jan 13 2023

Buffalo stance is one of my all time jams. You can’t help but move when that song comes on!!
