The Doors
The Doors
1967 rock underground that becomes mainstream
Regained fame in the 80s, when "the end" is used in the movie "Apocalypse Now".
Otherworldly and dangerous, trippy but based in garage with an affinity for blues and hard rock.
They inspired Iggy Pop.
My thoughts:
I've always thought that "The Doors" were not a band for me. Listening to this album has somehow confirmed my opinion but, at the same time, I have realised I appreciate them more than I like to admit.
I can finally pinpoint what I don't like:
I am really not a big fan of the organ and the more trippy sounds, but somehow I love the Beatles' more experimental albums like "Srgt pepper's lonely hearts club band". Maybe I'll change my mind with a second listen?

Blood On The Tracks
Bob Dylan
I like a lot of contemporary bands with folk influences and I always found it embarrassing that I never listened to a whole album by Bob Dylan for that reason. But unfortunately this is a no for me :/

Surf's Up
The Beach Boys
Genius from a melodic point of view, while some of the lyrics (ex. A day in the life of a tree) are of a simplicity that makes me cringe and love it at the same time. I'll give it 5 because it doesn't happen every day that an album makes you question your own judgement as to how you feel about it.

The Bones Of What You Believe
CHVRCHES
I liked it :)
I wanted to give it five stars because I really like the sounds, but I don't find it mind blowing enough.
But I think overall it's a very stylish, danceable record, even though a bit plastic-ey at times.
One has to take also age into consideration, I would have loved this when I was 15!

Not the biggest fan of this, but without any hard feelings. Of course my favourite song on the album was written by David Byrne :)

After The Gold Rush
Neil Young
I really really liked it. I can't believe how little of Neil Young I knew, especially cause I can see so much of his music in Elliott Smith, one of my favourite artists ever!
