Parachutes by Coldplay
Dec 05 2022

Easy to listen too, great as vibes, I want to learn trouble on the piano. I remember hearing the song yellow a lot on the radio and in general. I think my favorite song is sparks or dont panic.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Dec 12 2022

So 80s and kinda anti capitalism. I liked to listen to it while doing homework cause it was energy inducing

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Dec 14 2022

Ehhhhh good to hear

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Dec 15 2022

So jazzy, not like mind blowing but he has some nice music

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 16 2022

They r so quirky, dance white boy dance !!!!

Dec 20 2022

Bones and All sound track !!!!! Surprised it came out in the 80s because this reminds me of the 2000s, their commercials and all the other songs that sound like it know. I wish I heard it in the context when it came out

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Dec 21 2022

Songs are kinda short, decent grunge, or just sounds normal I guess

Vespertine by Björk
Dec 22 2022

It was so…… ethereal. I recognized some songs in it. The songs were so detailed? Like layered and the beats sounded like little pops. Bjork voice is so unique but sometimes it feels like it goes against the beats and instruments.

Pornography by The Cure
Dec 23 2022

So goth, so, 80s? Drums and synths, the lyrics aren’t impactful to me but I never pay attention to lyrics anywag

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Dec 30 2022

Great, catchy, sixties spy vibe, German for some reason

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jan 02 2023

I LOVE THE GORILLAAZZZZ

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 03 2023

JANIS JOPLIN EVERYONE super hippie vibes super 60s lsd sweaty yellow smoke filled rooms and people saying man after the end of every sentence

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 04 2023

Honestly not a fan of folk music, maybe one day it’ll change, but I like vashti Bunyan more than them lol

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jan 05 2023

So silly and honestly not really catchy at all, if it’s silly the music has to be good too !!

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Jan 06 2023

LUCILLE sounds just like pretty woman !!! I really like Cathy’s Clown because of the unique sound. Everything else sounds like something else, but they did it first so I guess it was unique at the time! I don’t listen to Simon and Garfunkel that much so idk their inspo from this, but I do hear what the Beatles have taken from it.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jan 10 2023

this reminds me of parrapa, this is the quirkiest rap i've heard. the samples are great, and I think its just fun to listen to.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jan 11 2023

I couldn’t find the album on Spotify but I found it on YouTube. This is definitely what inspired city pop, the bass is so good, the songs are catchy and easy to listen too. It’s all about love and Anita’s voice is so sweet.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jan 12 2023

The minute I heard the first song I though ok David bowieee, I didn’t kno Iggy pop made China girl. The music was cool I liked it

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jan 13 2023

I feel so bad but I really don’t get folk rock and that 60s folksy stuff. It reminds me of Godspell and pretentious people. But Tim has a really good voice especially hitting the high notes it’s like two different people singing. No song stood out to me but it was nice to hear in the background.

Jan 17 2023

He was young when he wrote this, and I wonder what he experience to be inspired to write this. I really like when he uses the electric guitar, and I really don’t enjoy the harmonica as much. There are some catchy songs on this album tho

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jan 18 2023

They are definitely groovy. I think they were influenced by blues. I like the folksy joke song at the end. Every song is really great I liked it.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Mar 13 2023

definitley punk, not really memorable but reminds me of art rock, or velvet underground.

Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 14 2023

I like the album, her voice is nice and it has a punk kind of melody. I like the way she experiments with her lyrics but its hard to understand a bit. I think its cool so many artists were inspired by her, and I feel like I would listen to this album more.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Mar 15 2023

I got a Niel young vibe from some of the songs, I really liked The Mind of love. her music sounds really great for being in a car and just vibing. I could see some songs as being in the soundtrack for a movie. Its just nice to listen to.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Mar 16 2023

I like how there was a story behind this one, the samples were cool and most of the songs were catchy.

Pump by Aerosmith
Mar 17 2023

Whghh not really my vibe but it is energetic and the lead singer sounds hot

Technique by New Order
Mar 20 2023

sounds kind of flat? I dont know much about drum machines and synths so I just assume its from the technology of the time and experimentation. Anyway the drums go hard on all the songs. Its an energetic vibe but also sounds sad. The bass also sounds great on the songs. Also, I feel like so many indie songs sort of sound like this album! they were definitely the blue print. Although it does sound a little dated, and maybe a little repetitive at points, i still enjoyed the album.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Mar 21 2023

all the songs are very catchy, although some were not as memorable as others, i really did like golden hour and the cowboy song. Easy to listen to.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Mar 22 2023

honestly didn't like it too much, i dont really like his voice, and the songs are a little boring

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Mar 23 2023

So good it reminds me of my dad, he used to listen to this album all the time. All of the songs are so memorable, and I feel like its sometime I will come to see as more complex as time goes on.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Mar 24 2023

I like the songs, but they just werent attention grabbing for me.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Mar 28 2023

This has a classic 80s sound, I feel like people who really love sci fi stuff in the 80s wouldve loved this as well.

Marquee Moon by Television
Mar 29 2023

Marquee moon is a really great song, I thought that Franz ferdinand was inpired by them so I looked it up and they were, but the leader of the band said he didn't like Television and thought it the comparisons were annoying. Anyway I think television is one of those blueprint bands that everyone has taken inpiration from. The singer also sounds like David Byrne.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Mar 30 2023

folksy, lots of talk about maidens. This feels close to that medieval revival type music, but I think its still more like american folk music. I wonder how many people were inspired by her, but I don't think I would listen to the songs often. After reading her wiki page she is a great person, and I love that she was an activist.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 31 2023

I think its insane they wrote the soundtrack for her which has Song on the Beach and I LOVE THAT SONNG. Anyway these are some nice indie vibes, they reminds me of the Perks of Being a wallflower and they make me think of weddings with mason jars and twine lol. I think they were the blue print for this style of white people music. also like the lighter version of joy division. Also I feel some Black Country New Road kind of vibe to some of the songs. I bet they were inspired by Arcade Fire, or its kinda folky.

Boston by Boston
Apr 04 2023

Iconic, catchy, I didn't grow up around rock music that much so I only recognize more than a feeling which I heard on the radio all the time even though it was the 2000s. Anyway, I have this record but I haven't gotten along to listening to it, rock isn't really my thing but it is energetic and movie like.

Illmatic by Nas
Apr 05 2023

love the samples used and the vibe is great
