At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Sep 01 2023

Pretty decent blues album, reminds me quite a bit of Ray Charles

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 04 2023

It's the End of the World As We Know It is the only song I knew/recognized. Sounds out of place...maybe because I know it and don't know any other song. Overall the rest of the album isn't really my taste but I like It's the End...

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Sep 05 2023

Upbeat album with 2 or 3 songs I previously knew. Good energy and unique sound. I liked it

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Sep 06 2023

Steely Dan has a really unique voice/sound. I like this album and would definitely give it a second listen. Introducing me to a lot more Steely Dan songs I didn't know. I ended up listening to this album probably 4-5 more times throughout the rest of the day. Definitely a great album

Tommy by The Who
Sep 07 2023

Long album that can be slow at times. Probably deserves a more in depth look at lyrics but its hard to follow over an hour long album. Always like an album that tells a story though. Pinball wizard is great but hard to get into many of the other songs

The White Album by Beatles
Sep 08 2023

Hard to argue with The Beatles...great album, lots of songs. All of them are a pleasure to listen to. Forgot how much I enjoyed listening to the Beatles.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 11 2023

Notes says this could be categorizes as "hard rock" or maybe "grunge"? Either way I'm not too familiar with it and I can't say it was really my taste. Would have to be hard pressed to listen again

The Specials by The Specials
Sep 12 2023

Very interesting and unique album...its like British reggae? Can't say it really fits my taste.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Sep 13 2023

Enjoyed listening to this album that combines African and Jazz sounds. Definitely had never heard of him before and looks like his father may be the more impactful artist, will have to give him a listen. Overall though, another unique album to add to my list of "jazz-y" albums that I appreciate.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Sep 14 2023

Pretty weird album...definitely gives voodoo doctor vibes and "psychedelia". I can see why it failed to chart upon initial release.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Sep 15 2023

Alright album, enjoyed the hits that I recognized but the rest of the album was okay. Maybe not enough of a police fan yet.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Sep 18 2023

Nice change to get 90s hip hop. Didn't care much for a lot of the story telling or spoken word at the beginning of a lot of the songs. Kinda threw off the vibe or momentum in between songs. I can tolerate that when its at the beginning of the album etc. Overall, it was okay.

So by Peter Gabriel
Sep 19 2023

Very 80s sounding album. Nothing to energizing or exciting in my opinion...

Sep 20 2023

Certainly an explicit album lol... but overall I'm digging this 90s hip hop. Haven't ever really listened to Ice Cube before but he seems to be at the top of the list in terms of hip hop.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Sep 21 2023

Really enjoy the energy and driving hard rock from Aerosmith. Very easy to listen to the songs on this album. Also the innuendo in Big Ten Inch Record is genuinely funny. Love how Stephen Tyler has no problem coming right through the front door with this one.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Sep 22 2023

Pretty tame techno music...didn't do a whole lot for me.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Sep 25 2023

Felt very "rappy". Overall always appreciate listening to new types of music but this in particular wasn't really my vibe.

Sep 26 2023

Did not realize how popular Arctic Monkeys was on Spotify until I looked them up. I liked the consistent sound across the album with good energy. Could be convinced to listen to more, but outside of my usual genre interests.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Sep 27 2023

Really enjoying hearing the track "Miles". Pretty sure it's a cover of a Miles Davis song but can't place which one right now. Otherwise, Wikipedia says this was supposed to be a concept movie soundtrack and I definitely get that from a couple tracks.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 28 2023

Very nice Jazz/blues album and always cool to hear music from other parts of the world. Definitely enjoyed the mix up.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Sep 29 2023

Really like the Across the Universe cover. Never heard David Bowie's soul/R&B stuff. Overall pretty nice album.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 02 2023

CCR has a great sound and great songs. Especially enjoyed Proud Mary and Down on the Bayou.

Cross by Justice
Oct 03 2023

A very techno album, and its by a French artist and I didn't understand any of the few words they were singing, not sure if it was actually in French though... the music didn't have any story or emotion element for me. Feels like manufactured energy. I also don't really appreciate the intentional sound distortion and speaker blow out sounds.

One World by John Martyn
Oct 05 2023

Was a nice peaceful album to listen to. Not too loud or in your face. Most songs passed without me knowing.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 06 2023

Not quite sure exactly what genre this album is...maybe just "rock"? It's almost too generic to associate with anything but overall it was a solid album. Has simple melodies and rhythms which is nice.

Homework by Daft Punk
Oct 09 2023

Generally I don't like techno albums but I didn't mind this one...

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 10 2023

Felt a bit like Logic to me at times. Pretty good album, I liked the consistent sound.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Oct 11 2023

Very meh album for me, low energy and all of the songs just kinda drag through, sounds very 90s

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Oct 12 2023

Easy going album but nothing special

Suede by Suede
Oct 13 2023

Very bleh....did not intrigue me

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Oct 17 2023

This was a really nice album to listen to in the morning. Slow but with movement and didn't interrupt work.
