From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley

Never been an Elvis fan. This was not something I’d choose to listen to again.

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (80)

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 01 2023

Neil Young is best to me in smaller doses.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 02 2023

Pretty generic sounding overall. A couple ok songs.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jan 03 2023

Beastie Boys but with some of that 90s messy brownness going on. Can dig it but wouldn’t pick it every day.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jan 04 2023

Race for the Prize - classic The Spark that Bled 10/10 Middle was the usual sort of silly but still somewhat poignant Flaming Lips I have come to know and enjoy. The Observer, a beautiful tune. Suddenly Everything has Changed 10/10 The Gash - classic much love

Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 05 2023

Pretty good!! but… Early 70s Bowie> Late 70s Bowie to me 3.5/5

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Jan 06 2023

My face today realizing the Damned is punk af and not whatever I thought they were: :? ——> :o ——> :) ——> :D Loveee the Syd vibes on These Hands

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Jan 07 2023

MISSSSSSAY WE THE BEST MUSIC. MISSY MISSY ELLIOT Liked some songs quite a bit didn’t care for it as much as a whole.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jan 08 2023

Surprisingly fun album. Really dig the latter half. Will be revisiting this one again for sure.

Phrenology by The Roots
Jan 09 2023

This one was not for me. My cat really seemed to enjoy it though.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jan 10 2023

Nice change of pace from the last couple days. Pretty goood mix of tunes! Title track is so very solid. Judy and the Dream of Horses was a fave as well as Me and The Major

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jan 11 2023

I think this would be pretty nice on an early summer morning. A bit long winded at times for me.

Jan 12 2023

It was aiiight. I really really enjoyed a few tracks but felt pretty neutral toward many others. Pressure on Julian was one of my top tracks. Also really dig the instrumentals on Chemical World.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jan 13 2023

Wowza I sure loved this one. Will return to this again and again I feel. Really neat since I doubt I would have found this album otherwise. Mid to late 60s was such a good time for music. Stay was a great opening. Parade (A Banda) was right up my alley, super enjoyable. Oba oba has that 60s whimsy in sound and lyrics that I am a sucker for. You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice was a cute and pretty little tune!

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jan 14 2023

Fuck yeah to the whole damn thing.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jan 15 2023

Did not know what to expect going into this one. Enjoyed a lot of the songs but felt the flow was a little weird at times.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jan 16 2023

A classic. It had been a while and I never realized how long this was. Quite a few 10/10 songs for me on there but a few just okay ones as well.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jan 17 2023

This was aight. First couple tracks were very good. I dig the intro on Idioteque as well.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Jan 18 2023

Really loved the sounds on this one. Dig me some good percussion.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Jan 19 2023

Love Alex Turner and was really excited for this but it was just alright. Not bad by any means but I guess I am just struggling to see why it belongs on the list.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 21 2023

This was pretty alright!! Didn’t care for Sly as much as the other tracks. Particularly dug Chameleon and the smooth yet sort of funky vibes on Vein Melter.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 22 2023

This was damn good. Didn’t expect to like it so much but I get it now. I get it.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jan 23 2023

I liked how the songs all build upon themselves. Fun listen.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jan 25 2023

this was not my cup of tea

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jan 26 2023

I can appreciate her voice but I am not very into this style of music.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jan 27 2023

Really enjoyed this one! The first half in particular was was a fun ride.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 28 2023

Ooowie what a goodie. Was weird juxtaposition listening to this driving in the desert though!

Jan 29 2023

ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME Oh to have been in Abbey Road Studios when they were recording this and the Beatles were there recording Sgt. Peppers at the same damn time. Fucking hell 67’ is my favorite year for music. LUCIFER SAM, SIAM CAT!! YIPPEE! YOU CAN’T SEE ME BUT I CAN YOU LOOK AT THE SKY, LOOK AT THE RIVER ISN’T IT GOOD? A MOVEMENT IS ACCOMPLISHED IN SIX STAGES AND THE SEVENTH BRINGS RETURN I’LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING, EVERYTHING IF YOU WANT THINGS

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Jan 30 2023

Not bad but sort of one note. Very much a typical and somewhat decent britpop album.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 31 2023

I realllly realllly like some of the songs but the ones I didn’t I reallly disliked, it was a good one overall.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Feb 01 2023

Overall this album really was such an enjoyable experience. I have been told these guys fuck and just figured it was 80s nostalgia hype but these guys do fuck pretty hard.

Roots by Sepultura
Feb 02 2023

Had some good stuff going on in there. I do love me some impressive percussion so that was a plus. Top tracks for me: Ratamahatta Breed Apart Jasco Itsári

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 03 2023

Had no idea who these guys were before this album. Heard the name did not know the genre. Very 80s very fun. I dig this one a lot. I thought for so long I did not like 80s music and the older I get the more I get proved wrong. Faves : One More Chance Shopping Rent

Feb 04 2023

Everybody wants to party with Aretha!!! Such a beautiful album. Her voice brings me back to my childhood. Love love loved every second of this.

Atomizer by Big Black
Feb 05 2023

Noise and I guess possibly rock.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Feb 06 2023

This was just ok. Liked some of the tracks really didn’t care for others. Not sure really how I feel About this one… May give it another listen in a different headspace

Stankonia by OutKast
Feb 07 2023

This was a solid one! Very much felt like a mix of 90s and 2000s vibes.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Feb 09 2023

This album was really great!! My favorite track was Nick. Thought the guitar was nice on that one. Happy to have found something new that was so fresh and enjoyable.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Feb 10 2023

This was aight. Not really my jam but I liked his voice especially liked Stand Up.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Feb 11 2023

Wowza didn’t think I was going to dig this one. Definitely reminded me of listening to music with my dad and his family. I feel like Deep Purple was one of those bands my uncles talked about a lot and I didn’t understand the hype. Child in Time and Lazy were my favorites of the album.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Feb 12 2023

Really thought I would enjoy this more. Pretty mediocre album for a genre I usually really Love.

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 13 2023

What a gem of an album. As a kid I thought I didn’t like Carole King, I couldn’t relate to her music. Now as an adult I wish I couldn’t relate to it but I love it.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 14 2023

Very good driving rock with a tiny bit of 60s influence creeping in there. Classic album. War Pigs, Paranoid, Planet Caravan, Hand of Doom all highlights for me but the whole thing is so good.

Feb 15 2023

Have always loved this album so so much. Drive, Try Not to Breathe, The Sidewinder Sleeps, New Orleans Instrumental No. 1, Man on the Moon, Nightswimming all some of my favorite tracks ever. Can’t believe I’m giving yet another five this week.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Feb 16 2023

Did not much care for this one too much as a whole. Useful Chamber was the highlight for me. Very much felt the 2009 in it. Vampire Weekend vibes. I also did really love the auto generated Spotify radio for the album a lot so idk why Bitte Orca wasn’t doing it for me :/

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 17 2023

Ended up really enjoying this. The first half was alright but the second half was really damn good. Weird sort of stuff but up my alley it was!

Horses by Patti Smith
Feb 19 2023

This one didn’t do much for me.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Feb 20 2023

Never been an Elvis fan. This was not something I’d choose to listen to again.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Feb 21 2023

Love me some Beatles. Fave songs off this one: All My Loving Till There Was You Money (That’s What I Want)

21 by Adele
Feb 26 2023
Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Mar 09 2023

I dig that it was made in 76 and sounds so good but it’s fucking boring

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
