Eliminator by ZZ Top
Mar 02 2023

At first I was going to say something along the lines of.. wow got my daily dose of testosterone today🤪 and while I still kinda feel like that.. some of the lyrics aren’t what I would call typically masculine. “living room/ passing time/talking trash/drinking wine/ I need something more substantial!” Slaaayyy. I love the lyrics to legs. I feel like I’m at Gretna Fest. Overall not my vibe. Don’t really know enough about 80s music to make any kind of educated points ab this album but yea wouldn’t listen again:/

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 03 2023

I can see how you would love this album. I like it, but I think it’s a very Nicko album. His cover of Lilac wine made me melt 🤤. Hallelujah.. I had a phase in HS where I would ONLY listen to hallelujah.. actually Elena and I would listen to it together in my car and scream. Lover, you should’ve come over was very powerful. Loved the build up. Overall a very emotional album! It feels like each song really seeks to tell a story through clear progression. Also it kind of feels like you’re at an intimate venue listening to Jeff Buckley just absolutely pour his heart out to you. Loved it! Great! Yeehaw! I’m gonna go listen to Hallelujah on repeat for the rest of the day now

Mar 06 2023

obviously great album. I wanted to groove, bang, and drive in my car with all the windows down all at the same time (jk hahah). good vibes with this one. Classic bops. Would be a great RECORD to have just to always play when doing .. life stuff in the apartment ya kno? Just thinking 🤔 It’s wild that she didn’t make another studio album after this one, but this one feels like a perfectly packaged gift. Ok!!

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 07 2023

Listening to this album I was like.. oh ok yea this is an ALBUM this is a STORY.. well yea looked it up after and checks out hahah. Would be interested to see the film? play? Idk what it is but the visual component of the album. Overall not my vibe but I can appreciate it for what it is! I see why people go coco bananas for it! Why is rock such a big deal? That’s a serious question I have

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 08 2023

The album cover is really hot Enjoyed it! Head over heels and under attack were fun. I want to look into the socio-political context that everyone keeps talking about! nothing really nuanced to say- this album is less disco pop fun dance music than other ABBA albums. It seems more “mature” but stays true to the ABBA style of harmonization and such. I think I was listening to it when my vyvanse kicked in so now I have to listen to it for the rest of the day. I’ve listened to it 2.5 times already. Ha ha hahahaha hahaha

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Mar 09 2023

So wildly impressive. Every song was a bop and a half- with a surprising amount of variety for such a lengthy album, the songs felt cohesive but distinct. Favs? Summer soft, ordinary pain, another star and ebony eyes. I could listen to this album again and again and again. How did he make so many songs. How was this his 18th album and such a banger. I love this man. Big big big fan. It’s a tough one, but so far Jeff Buckley’s Grace is in 3rd, Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is in 2nd and Songs in the Key of Life is the best album so far.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Mar 10 2023

this really appealed to my thoughtless brain. I’m not sure what makes this album revolutionary or historic, but I’m vibing. I liked sparks. Won’t go out of my way to listen again but it was a pleasure to be introduced to Röyksopp today :)

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Mar 13 2023

I listened to this album on my run. I like it but didn’t love it but I’m also not really in a vibe MOOD. Listening to it again in the car on the way home from Biloxi I was like ok yea I see how influential it is and it’s cool and ethereal and dreamy soo I like it more now

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Mar 14 2023

I loved the first couple of songs. The first song reminded me of Bridget Bardot/ Francoise hardy and I was LIT for the album. The words that maketh murder is where that all changed for me… but then I came back to during huh it didn’t save. I came back during bitter branches bc woman screaming

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 16 2023

Ahhhh it has this song on it! Karen O seems like such a versatile artist.. the whole Where the Wild Things are album.. HEADS WILL ROLL? and also maps?? Who is the real Karen O🤔 I liked the album! It was a bit grungey for my taste but I loved modern romance and poor song. Overall yeah, yeah, yeah I’m a fan! Hahahah. No but really i actually really liked the album and will listen again.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Mar 17 2023

I liked Neón lights and the model and idk it was funky I kinda liked it I guess

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 20 2023

Loved! whimsical! High energy! Theatrical! Oh you pretty things was a fav! Was bopping my head and feeling fun

On The Beach by Neil Young
Mar 21 2023

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Mar 23 2023

I like dire straits 😄 I imagine myself on a boat whilst I listen to him

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 24 2023

Hmmmnnn

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Apr 04 2023

ok we’re back! sick album cover I wanted smack my bitch up to give me more. With such a provocative name it was pretty tame. People fucking love this album. The whole album gave me similar vibes to the pirating warning that played before DVDs and VHS tapes.. the like YoU WOUldnT sTeaL a CAr?! wHY stEAl dVD?! ones ya know? Ummm after reading about it I can appreciate its status as a force in the rave movement. It’s more zombie race music than I would like but happy that there are beats for plur babies to dance to

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Apr 05 2023

I love this album. So glad that Beyoncé was in a girl group. Independent women Is an absolute bop.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Apr 06 2023

I am obsessed with this album hahaha. It has the drama of a musical. Very theatrical lyrics and ensemble. Rather than singing along with the composed music, it’s very clear that the music is there to emphasize and compliment his voice. and his vocals are so strong. Fun!! Slay Scott The girls and the dogs was my fav

Apr 07 2023

I did not like this experience hahah. This was not my vibe for the work day. I’m sure his wit and banter would be fantastic and so great in person at a small bar when you’re a lil tipsy….buuuuttt yea not for me rn. I really don’t like the intro and song format. I’m also ngl i didn’t finish this and have no intention to sorry

May 02 2023

I loved this so much. Put me in the best mood for the restart of work. Felt like a lil Rosie the riveter with her solider slay

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 04 2023

It’s really giving festival band (esp 7 days too long, which was also my favorite song on the album hahah). Ummm it’s like charli xcx but for the 80s. Like it gets me pumped it makes me want to dance. Will we ever hear disco on 1001 albums? I liked the album a lot

May 09 2023

So theatrical! I can see a world where I really love it, but it’s not this world and I can’t quite place why.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
May 16 2023

I attribute my good mood yesterfsy ti this album. I love it so much I listened to it all day

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
May 17 2023

Obviously it’s the whole point give that the title of the album is “songs of love and hate”, but it’s just too emo for me hahah. It feels dark, damp and depressing. It feels cynical and masculine and the opposite of nuanced and idk. Sorry, Leonard

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 22 2023

Bops bops and more bops

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 23 2023

I really liked the beginning but it seemed to unravel by the end. In a kind of funny way HAHHA

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Oct 03 2023

It’s been a talking heads couple of days! I didn’t realize how not mainstream popular they were.. like they reached top 100 but not very high. I really like the talking heads. Not in a way that makes me want to listen to them with any regularity, but in a reverent and entertained way. It’s good stuff haha

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Oct 04 2023

I love the temptations and I love this album cover and I’d like to get one of their albums for our record player but yeah big slay loved

The Doors by The Doors
Oct 05 2023

Ok so I really like their look hahaha They’re cool they’re fun I would dance to them… Alabama song (whisky bar) is kind of a crazy song.

The Band by The Band
Oct 09 2023

This just wasn’t my vibe ! Sawwy

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Oct 12 2023

This sounded like a Halloween album. My distaste for Leonard Cohen grows.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 18 2023

Legalize it

Suede by Suede
Oct 19 2023

Kind of slay! I liked moving - the end song was also a wild way to end an album.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Oct 20 2023

Sea Change by Beck
Oct 24 2023
