Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Dec 07 2022

Super fun to hear a younger and lesser-known Janis, I always enjoyed her vocals, they seemed to be made to sing the blues.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 08 2022

This album is super fun, it reminds me of Boys II Men. I did not expect a ballad, but it is really nice -- Yesterday. Can't Keep Running Away is so good!

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Dec 09 2022

What timing! I literally just started to listen to this yesterday. I laughed at the Mercedes Benz song. Classic Me and Bobby McGee. My favorites upon first listen are Trust Me, Get It While You Can, Half Moon, And A Lonely Woman. I did not get to the bonus materials today.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Dec 16 2022

I admit I had never listened to a HH project until now. It was so good.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Dec 17 2022

Classic. Amy was way ahead of her time. Gems: Wake Up Alone, Unholy War, My Tears Dry On Their Own The Deluxe edition is incredible too.

Cross by Justice
Dec 18 2022
Dec 21 2022

I only knew of his hit Virtual Insanity and was too young at the time to really think much of it or pursue what the rest of his music was about. It is pretty good, his voice is very smooth, and it's an interesting combination of genres.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Dec 23 2022

Not my genre, but I can totally see how kids would love it and listen to it as they rage and are hormone filled. lol

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Dec 24 2022

I was not sure what to expect, I honestly thought I would hate it, but the band has a cool vibe, very chill -- retro and I like it.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Dec 25 2022

I only knew their big hit We Are Familly. Some very fun 70's bops and ballads. Favorites: One More Time, Somebody Loves Me -- and of course We Are Family. Found Free on Spotify, now THIS song is a good one.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Dec 27 2022

I really enjoyed this album, so heartbreaking and raw. I need to listen to more of MG's music.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Dec 31 2022

Oh Elliot why have I not listened to you before? Gorgeous voice and songs, very very sad.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 12 2023

Classic Elvis. I always have loved his live version of In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds.

Da Capo by Love
Jan 18 2023

This doesn't really stand out for me with most music from that time period, so it's ok.

Jan 19 2023

This is the first BD album I have listened to. I respect the man's talent for song writing and what he has done, but it isn't really my thing.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jan 21 2023

I didn't realize that I knew Our House. It is pretty decent, not something I would personally return to. Also, blackface is never cool.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jan 24 2023

Very interesting....I may have to re-listen to his stuff to truly 'get' it. I wasn't a fan of Bjork's voice and now I love her so we'll see.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jan 25 2023

This was a very different sound from what I am used to, and really enjoyed it.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 27 2023

A classic from top to bottom.

Jan 30 2023

My friend was obsessed with Dwight when we were children, it isn't this album, but this transported me right back to that moment. I am not a big fan of country, so sorry Mr. Yoakam, this isn't my cup of tea. Also, those lyrics about killing your girl....um, big no.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Feb 01 2023

Queen of Soul for a reason, amazing album.

More Specials by The Specials
Feb 02 2023

This album had mixed reviews, and I had never heard their music previously, but once I listened I thought it wasn't too bad.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Feb 04 2023

Really fun feminist music, I did not realize I had heard one of their songs before.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 10 2023

I personally don't really like The Doors music, and reading about him exposing himself kind of takes away from things too.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 12 2023

My dad would listen to Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings when I was a child. I have not listened to any solo Willie and this cover album is so freaking good. I am very impressed.

Feb 18 2023

Everybody knows the classic Sweet Dreams, but I didn't know the rest of the album. Overall fun, 80's bops.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 27 2023

Classic, I love this album.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Mar 29 2023

This is not the music I was anticipating, but it is interesting. On one hand, I think he has a good voice, the music is a good mix, but I also find it a bit too bland.
