Harvest by Neil Young
Jul 21 2023

Beautiful. Surprised I'd never listened to it before. It's expansive sonically.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jul 22 2023

The musicianship is enthralling but not quite my cup of tea so not sure I'll keep this on rotation.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jul 23 2023

Underwhelming lyrically. Some nice riffs.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jul 24 2023

Not my cup of tea, although found the lyrics interesting. Ms Jackson remains a top banger

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 25 2023

Definitely will be coming back to listen to this again. Karen O has an incredible energy and there is some great production on this album.

Moon Safari by Air
Jul 26 2023

Something magical about Air. Deserves all the stars for Sexy Boy which is near to a perfect track. Everything sounds fresh and I was glad to give this a new listen 20.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Jul 27 2023

Never heard of the Saints so happy to listen to them. Some nice tracks and lyrics and a sound I can get behind.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jul 28 2023

Marvin is the king of his genre. Smooth listening experience if not all a bit samey.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jul 29 2023

Lyrics are missing as is the emotion in the delivery of the vocals Impressive solos and some nice riffs but nothing transcendal. Listening to Van Halen-inspired the Darkness is more fun Finally quite a dull listen.

Kenya by Machito
Jul 30 2023

Great to have some variety in this listen. Fantastic in its genre, makes you want to dance!

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jul 31 2023
Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Aug 02 2023

This was so refreshing after a slew of male guitar records from the late 20thcentury.

So by Peter Gabriel
Aug 03 2023

Some nice touches. Like the song about the Excellent Birds. Can understand why this album lost out to Graceland by Paul Simon that year. Doesn't really stand out.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 05 2023

Sort of forgot how good this album is, made me wonder why I took so long to get back to it.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Sep 24 2023

Nice to have a femal artist finally. Love anything by the Gilberto family

Station To Station by David Bowie
Sep 25 2023

I didn't experience the transcendental listen that others did. After hearing so much about this album I found myself underwhelmed compared to other Bowie albums, perhaps a second listen is needed.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 26 2023

Don't think I've ever listened to a full Doors Album. Enjoyed this quintessential and seminal sound
