In A Silent Way
Miles Davis
I'd never heard this album before. So far so good! I know Miles Davis is a jazz god, so glad I'm getting exposed to this! Will come back to write some more when I've heard it all. Will I still be able to write if I click save? Testing... Yep! chat soon.
Very nice soothing music!

Amazing album! I really enjoyed it. I'd heard lot about it before and know of him of course. I see his face every time I go to A Bar Named Sue. There was a track on there where his wife June sings with him (Jackson). Now it all makes sense. Johnny / June on the bathroom doors. I didn't know that was his wife. I hearted one song called Give My Love to Rose.

This album came out in 1996, you'd think I would have hear about it before but I hadn't.

Well it was alright. Nothing I would revisit again. It definitely had that feeling like it was trying to break away from the previous decades sound that was disco. I think the coke pandemic had already invaded Britain by this point.

Never heard of this band. But I can get down with some 60s rock! \m/
Man this album has been fire!! I get some real strong Jimmy Hendrix vibes, mainly from the guitar sounds. But yeah these guys rock! They straddle the line between rock and metal imo. They're all white boys but they sound black. lol hmm they're from Michigan I guess. The last track Starship is very cool! Sinister and psychedelic. The last part kind of sounded like Willie Wonka in the boat scene.

Don't know if I know these guys. Starts off pretty cool! 1994 was a good year for music. I have hope for this one. Hm, there's The London Suede and then just Suede. Both sound exactly the same. Apparently they are one and the same. First song was a little trippy, kinda psychedelic. Second song sounds more like something you would hear on the radio. But I like it! They're very British.
I'm really digging this album. Talented musicians. Has a bit of U2 vibes and sometimes David Bowie.
Wow I'm seriously blown away by this album! Especially this track, Still Life, it's orchestral, and beautiful.

Highschool Lover sounds like a song I've heard before but with lyrics. I liked that one. Yeah I think this one's getting 5 stars! oooh Empty House is catchy. Apparently this album was named after the movie by the same name. And the very last track Suicide Underground, seems to have excerpts from the movie? Just found out that movie was directed by Sofia Coppola, daughter of the great Francis Ford Coppola!

A Wizard, A True Star
Todd Rundgren
That's pretty cool art. Interesting music. It's pretty unique. I like how the end of each song bleeds into the next like it's one continuous track. It is a bit experimental and a bit unorganized, chaotic. Zen Archer is the first track that sounds like an actual song. lol Okay I really like Medley: I'm So Proud/ Ooh Baby Baby/ La La Means I Love You/ Cool Jerk. It super pretty. I hearted it. meh, it was alright. There were a few good songs but nothing I'd revisit.

Oh man! 5 stars. I've probably listened to this album one million two hundred and thirty three thousand two hundred and five times. It's a masterpiece of an album and a landmark of an era, not only in the history of music but in my own history as well. This album came out during my junior year of high school and marked a time in my life of clear division from before and after. I'd just moved back to Utah, living with grandma, trying to find myself in a big city. I felt alone a lot of the time, and this album would most definitely be playing on my walkman on my way to school most mornings. I identified with so many of the songs. His lyrical talent in this album is unparalleled to any of his of his albums. The words are just so beautiful and pefectly poetic. 10 stars if I could for this one. I'm so happy I finally got to see them live this year. It was an amazing show, and it was good being able to share that with my son.

L'Eau Rouge
The Young Gods
Hm, per the description they're an industrial band? Okay. That would be wonderful, but the beginning of this first track is not very industrial. When i think Industrial I think KMFDM, NIN, Ministry etc. I do love French music though so even if it's not that kind of Industrial I can still dig it. I love that I can understand some of these lyrics. Thanks Duo Lingo. Their Spotify bio says they were pioneers of Industrial Punk so I'm still holding out for something amazing. Oh snap, nearing the end of this track and it's beginning to show promise. lol. Okay this did become exactly what I wanted it to become. I gotta say this is pretty fucking great. We've all heard industrial German bands like KMFDM, and Ramstein, and you'd expect that from German. But French!? French is the love language. So to hear these dark, growly French lyrics is a new experience for me. Refreshing! Super diggin this. I hear some Nitzerebb influences in here as well as Skinny Puppy. This album quickly climbed to 5 stars!!

The 60's were such an iconic time in music history. Interesting how a decade can shape an entire genre of music. Would have been a great time to be alive. Expecting to Fly is pretty. i'm actually enjoying this album more than yesterdays Rolling Stones 👀 I like how there are stark contrasts from one song to the next. Sometimes an album can seem too monotonous. This one called Good Time Boy has a distinct blues funk sound to it. The vocals is a different guy too. So it breaks up the album. I'm liking this so far though. 4 Stars.

This album was quite revolutionary. The track "Fuck tha Police" drew an FBI agent's warning letter, which aided N.W.A's notoriety, with N.W.A calling itself "the world's most dangerous group." LOL. I used to not like rap very much. I totally blame being raised in such a prominent white area with SOOO much racism. But over the last decade or so I have learned to appreciate SOME. I listened to Eminem yesterday on my bike ride. That mother fucker is hella talented!! The movie that came out in 2015 about this album gave me a lot more insight into the history of this album. In spite of all the hype around this I'm only feeling 2 stars. Okay there were a few good songs there towards the end. I got a giggle out of the last track A Bitch Iz A Bitch LOL 3 stars then.

1994, the year right before I moved here again from Montana. What an awkward time of my life that was. Creep was definitely still playing on the radio when I came in 95. I almost died that year. Tried killing myself by jumping out in front a car one morning on my way to school. It was still dark, but I remember it so vividly. I tried so hard to time it just right, and then was even more depressed to know that I couldn't even kill myself right. Looking back now, I'm glad I didn't succeed. I'm grateful for every day I wake up to a new sunrise. I'm grateful for every experience I've had since then. All the good the bad and the ugly. Teenagers are so stupid. lol

Actually maybe I had it before then. The first one was when I was a kid! It was a cassette It was Led Zeppelin IV. I remember driving around Pinesdale jammin to Stairway to Heaven. Good shit man. Arturo was just a little boy, I remember getting him to sing along :) Babe I'm Gonna Leave You is such a beautiful song the guitar the lyrics. Such an incredible band. The fucking troves of treasure they left the masses, is unparalleled. Oh man at the end of You Shook Me when Robert Plant and Jimmy Page go back and forth with vocals and guitar, echoing each other. So epic!! John Bonham on Dazed and Confused. His drumming is immaculate! Fuck the blues rock marriage in their style is so fucking awesome! Its a shame this album is only 44 min long. And just like that it's over. 5 stars!!

Music Has The Right To Children
Boards of Canada
Never heard of these guys. Hm Scottish electronic duo. Distinctive style of electronica, featuring vintage synthesisers, degraded analogue production, found sounds and samples, and hip hop-inspired rhythms. Could make for some great background music today. I wonder if I'll recognize any of these. i'm digging the dissonance of these tracks. Interesting album art too. A faceless family, in the late 60's. Could possibly be Mt. Fuji. I was wrong.
The album cover is a modified version of a family photo taken at Banff Springs in Alberta, Canada. According to Sandison,
"If there's sadness in the way we use memory, it's because the time you're focusing on has gone forever… It's a theme we play on a lot, that bittersweet thing where you face up to the fact that certain chapters of your life are just Polaroids now."

Didn't have a chance to listen yesterday. So I'll go through a few songs this morning. Sweet Emotion is on here. That always reminds me of Dazed and Confused. Oh and Walk This Way.

Greetings From L.A.
Tim Buckley
Tim Buckley, huh? Well let's see what we've got here. Blues-y. Deceiving voice. I like it I'm tempted to give it a 4 but then I'd feel bad giving some of the past albums a 3. I feel like the 70s was a time when a lot of experimental stuff came out and was being explored. This is nothing short of that lol Especially the end of Devil Eyes. lol

Murmur
R.E.M.
Hey, I've been practicing an REM song. Everybody Hurts. It's not a hard song. The only technical part it has is the "Don't throw your hand, oh no" part. Never heard this album before. REM was one of those bands for me that defined the grunge era. There's just a certain sound to them that reminds me of when I was coming into my awareness of music and discovering my own tastes. And to clarify, it's specifically the voice. 3 stars

Planet Rock: The Album
Afrika Bambaataa
This is an interesting band. Super funky and the album art is hilarious. Yo what the fuck they have a track on here called Renegades of Funk. Did Beastie Boys cover this track?? I thought that was their own original song. Well half way through that track now and I don't think it's anything like the beastie boys song. HAHAHA I'm retarded I meant Rage Against the Machine this whole time. lol Who You Funkin With. I like that title.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
PJ Harvey
PJ Harvey hold one of those special places in my heart that reminds me of the peak of grunge. I love how her voice music has that sinister vibe to it. Dark and Evil. There's also some Patti Smith vibes in her style. Oh cool one of their songs features Thom Yorke. This Mess We're In. That was good. I guess I'll give it 4 stars.

My Aim Is True
Elvis Costello
Hm, I thought this would be like oldies type music. I think I confused him with someone else. I like this though. Short songs! 13 tracks and only 36 min long. I've really enjoyed the simple genuine rock an roll of this album! Lead guitar, bass, drums, and vocals! Just pure organic music. 4 stars

Doolittle
Pixies
Oh fuck yeah! I didn't realize this album had so many hits. I never heard the whole thing through. I'm diggin it. I've kind of been distracted with work and paying bills and updating my budget spreadsheet so I haven't been 100% tuned in. But I've looked over to Spotify to see what the name of songs have been when something catches my attention. I recognized Wave of Mutilation, Here Comes Your Man, and Monkey Gone to Heaven so far. 5 stars

Hms Fable
Shack
Not sure what to expect here, never heard of them. They sound like Oasis.
There were several great songs here. I really enjoyed the slow acoustic melancholy vibe this album had.
4 stars.

For Your Pleasure
Roxy Music
What is this shit? A play? it's been a little funky I don't know what to really think about it. I like that it's so unique. Almoost experimenta.. I like the variety of instruments. the lyrics are definitely unique as well. Almost kind of eerie in a way. Reminds me of Mealoaf a bit. I'm not thinking this deserves more than 3 stars.

From Elvis In Memphis
Elvis Presley

I love his voice, and the lyrics of loss and heart ache and love.. OH! In The Ghetto is on this album. I guess I have also heard Suspicious Minds. What a great album. Almost cried several times.

All Things Must Pass
George Harrison
whoa 2hrs! okay...Oh shit My Sweet Lord I know this one. Didn't know it was him. I've heard What Is Life. I always thought it was the Beatles. It was good, a little long and all too similar. Got halfway through the second disc. 3 stars.

Born In The U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen
Meh, I mean who doesn't like to listen to Born in the USA on Fourth of July, but the rest of the album, was too country sounding for me. Dancing in the Dark and I'm on Fire were the only 2 other songs on there that I'd heard. 2 stars.

Kind Of Blue
Miles Davis
This was a wonderful album to have as background music. The title fits it perfectly! I could see this playing in a soundtrack to a movie with lots of rain and break up.

Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd
OMG I can't tell you how many times I've listened to Shine on You Crazy Diamond. It was basically my go to when I would feel too crazy and thinking way too much. It would help to hone me in for a while. even if just for a few minutes. There was peace. However, I don't think I've listened to the whole album. Oh, just kidding I totally have. What a masterpiece of a song though. The way it eases into it so mystically and then the progression and buildup. It's incredible!!
5 stars!!

This Is Fats Domino
Fats Domino
I like this oldies Soul sound... Never heard of him before though. Maybe I'll recognize some of the songs. Wow according to the wiki, he was a big influence on Elvis and the Beetles! There were 6 tracks not available on Spotify but I'm going to find them on YouTube. I liked it. What a time for music.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports
Brian Eno
The album consists of four compositions created by layering tape loops of differing lengths, and was designed to be continuously looped as a sound installation, with the intent of defusing the tense, anxious atmosphere of an airport terminal.
Interesting. Could be some good background music for today then. Well it's definitely an Ambient sound. It's very peaceful and relaxing.

Tapestry
Carole King
Tapestry has been certified 14× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in the US, and has sold an estimated 25 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. DAMN! I like the picture on the album cover. Seeing pictures of the 70s makes me think that that's the time my mom and dad were probably dating. Simpler times. When connections with people were done in analog. lol. I wonder if I'll know any of the songs on this album. Oh sure enough! So Far Away. It's too Late! Of course...You've Got a Friend...Will You Love Me Tomorrow..Marisol sings this sometimes but I think it might be a cover that she sings. You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman too? Damn! I can see why this album got so much hype.I wouldn't seek this out on my own. I can only give it a 3 though
