Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson

Interesting concept and a couple of the tracks were pretty enjoyable to listen to. Overall, not really for me.

Sep 22 2023

Excellent album. Nice to hear other Queen songs other than the big hits and find out they are all mostly just as good if not better.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Sep 25 2023

Great beats and a chill vibe. Not much in the way of lyrics, but a good sound.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Sep 28 2023

Excellent album from top to bottom.

Low by David Bowie
Sep 29 2023

Really enjoyable sound. Hard to believe it came out in 1977. Sounds ahead of its time.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Oct 02 2023

All the songs sounded pretty similar to each other.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Oct 03 2023

Not bad. Could hear some similarities to other songs like Jethro Tull.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Oct 04 2023

Interesting concept and a couple of the tracks were pretty enjoyable to listen to. Overall, not really for me.

What can be said. Excellent.

Really cool sound. Worth another listen and more band exploration.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Oct 16 2023

Interesting and clearly talented musicians. A little too chaotic at times for me.

A solid alt rock album. Enjoyed it more than a lot of their later material.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Oct 18 2023

Really cool to hear some of the big influence towards the Seattle grunge scene and some excellent harder listening jams.

Great lyricism and sound. Worth exploring more.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Oct 20 2023

Would have never guessed he played with Jimi Hendrix.

I bet at least two of these guys have beards.

Oct 26 2023

Outstanding. Really enjoyed this one.

Really interesting to listen to. A bit of an oddity, but solid.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Nov 14 2023

Nov 21 2023

Couple classic songs. Good length to enjoy without over doing it.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Nov 23 2023

Lots of energy. Seem like they'd be fun to see live if you were in the mood for it.

Surprised by how enjoyable the entire track list was.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Dec 12 2023

Really really enjoyed this one a ton. Excellent.

In Utero by Nirvana
Dec 13 2023

Great as expected from Nirvana. Need to keep in mind that they pioneered the sound when it starts to sound like its been overdone. There was nothing else really like it when they did it.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Dec 14 2023

Smooth sound that doesn't get old. Can easily throw on this band and listen all day.

Dookie by Green Day

Jan 02 2024

Jan 03 2024

Belongs in the trash.

The Coral by The Coral
Jan 04 2024

Outstanding. Can't wait to listen to more of their catalog. Right up my alley.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jan 05 2024

If I'm going to be forced to listen to jazz, something like this isn't too bad.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jan 08 2024

Still great, but nowhere close to Ziggy Stardust in my opinion.

Closer by Joy Division
Jan 10 2024

Didn't really appeal to me too much.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 11 2024

Not bad when you are in the mood for this kind of sound.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 24 2024

Really solid album. Enjoyed the lyrics and musicality.

Solid album when in the mood for 80s synth. Tainted Love elevates it.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jan 26 2024

A fun listen.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 29 2024

Not a fan at all.

Da Capo by Love

Really solid album. Great '60s sound while still sounding fresh and ahead of the time.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Feb 01 2024

Really enjoyed this one.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Feb 05 2024

Really enjoyed this. Need to listen again more closely. Right up my alley.

Fun and enjoyable rock album.

2112 by Rush
Feb 13 2024

Just ok for me. Can't listen to much of them in a row.

Forever Changes by Love
Feb 14 2024

Nothing wrong with it, but nothing that stands out either. Just sort of exists.

Cut by The Slits
Feb 15 2024

Not for me, but can recognize it seems well made for that genre. I'm probably missing something. Cover of Heard It Through The Grapevine was decent.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Feb 16 2024

Happily surprised by this. Some tracks sounded ahead of their time. Some were hit and miss.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Feb 19 2024

Great musicianship and sound to this one. Enjoyed hearing something from another culture.

Feb 26 2024

Feb 29 2024

Iconic sound and obvious talented. A bit repetitive in sound.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Mar 01 2024
