Get Behind Me Satan
The White Stripes
i used to listen to early white stripes all the time when i was a teenager but never really paid attention to this era apart from the singles (ugh my doorbell is still so good). i feel like i don’t like their piano stuff as much as stuff like elephant etc but this was still really good and weird and fun. also it feels like it aged really well? like it doesn’t sound dated at all. so yeah this wasn’t my main great.

Nevermind
Nirvana
yeah i mean... what is there to say lol this is just really really good. just still holds up. feel all my old teenage wounds and hurts and rage and messiness rising up in me again listening to this. so much painnnnnn.
weirdly specific memory of some girl in the year below me at school singing lithium in the girls' bathroom lol. horrifically that would have been TWENTY YEARS AGO. i wonder where she is now.
gonna give it 4 just because these days it's not really the kind of thing i'd listen to regularly, like i feel there are only really really specific moments where i need this kind of music, but i feel like i really mean 4.5.

Idk, this was ok. I listened to it while walking around Asda, I don’t know how much that added to the experience. I feel like.. this is the kind of music that you can see how it helped pave the way for other stuff and is important because of that, but nothing really stuck with me. I feel like the songs just kind of happened to my ears. That said, there were some melodies and bits that I enjoyed and if they’d developed into something a bit… MORE I would’ve enjoyed it more. SO36 was cool, also Requiem. Yeah, I feel like I get it but I don’t really get it. I think i would’ve been the kind of person who got it in 1980.

Go Girl Crazy
The Dictators
this was fun. not much else to say. some fun songs and i had a good time listening. some lyrics i ummmmmmmm just tried to ignore. a lot of it is just fluffy and silly and sometimes that's all you need. i was in a good mood afterwards.

At Mister Kelly's
Sarah Vaughan
this was nice. tbh i find i very rarely am in the mood for this kind of music but it is good and obviously her voice is amazing. i listened to it on the bus and it was very sunny and i felt quite sleepy and it washed over me in a pleasant way.

I loved this! It was really fun to listen to. I’ll admit I was flagging a bit towards the end because it is longgg but overall I had a really good time with this one.

Maverick A Strike
Finley Quaye
Hmm this wasn't really my thing. Parts of it were ok. I've literally never heard of this guy but just read his Wikipedia and feel quite sad. I recognised a couple of the songs.
Sunday Shining was nice. Also idk if I'm going insane but I Need A Lover sounds like it samples parts of Waterfall/Don't Stop by the Stone Roses?? is it just me?? I can find no proof or confirmation of this anywhere so maybe it is just me.
Anyway yeah, gonna give this 2 stars. It feels like a very specific part of the 90s that I never paid attention to while I was living through the 90s, but now I realise it was always there. Like I would have been in the car with my parents playing Magic FM and some of these songs would've come on but I was paying attention to something else.

Beauty And The Beat
The Go-Go's
Went into this wondering how much it would have in common with the classic Loona yyxy EP, beauty&thebeat - and I don't know, I think there's some kind of weird sunny girl pop vibe that they both have?? Anyway this was good, I'd never heard any of it before which is odd in a way because it fits in so well with a lot of the kind of music I listen to all the time. I guess sometimes you just miss stuff! I'm gonna say 3 but I really mean 3.5.

Aladdin Sane
David Bowie
Ughhhh I don’t know. I don’t know about this one. Most of it I really didn’t care for UNTIL the last song, Lady Grinning Soul which just completely slaps so I don’t know what to think now. I think it’s still mostly a 2 for me but LGS bumps it up to a 2.5. Something about this album just really didn’t hit for me :(

I went into this fully expecting to hate it, and I do hate the IDEA of it and how it was made, but I can’t deny that I actually enjoyed a lot of it and I liked the weird collagey nature of it… so it feels strange to be giving this 3 stars but that’s what I’m gonna do.

Easy 5. Just so good. I can’t believe I never got round to listening to this album in full. I know so many of these songs but hearing them lined up like this one after the other, fucking hell.

No.
I'm sorry but why is this on the list. Who is this for.
There is other stuff out there that is *like this* but crucially *better than this*. Why would you listen to this instead of that, unless you had some nostalgic connection to this.
This is the sort of music I would hear playing on the speaker as I walk around a secondhand record shop in a seaside town somewhere random in the UK and then I leave the shop and I never think about that music ever again.

I think sometimes I give 3 stars to things that like... they're not really for me and don't do much for me, but I can see how they're pretty good and would be enjoyed by other people, if that makes sense? This is one of those.
