I loved it. I was sucked in from the first song. It was like a good movie, I couldn’t wait to hear what came next.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Oct 09 2023

This album rocks! The bonus album with the live version of the album is also excellent! My top songs are Grinder, Living After Midnight and Metal Gods.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

This album rocks! The bonus album with the live version of the album is also excellent!

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Oct 11 2023

Beautiful voice and a beautiful album. There are some very haunting songs like Behind the Wall. I love the a capella. Fast Car is a great song, of course.

The Cars by The Cars
Oct 12 2023

Upbeat and fun album.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Oct 16 2023

Not crazy about this one, but I’ve never been an Ozzy fan. I always felt like his music could be better. With that being said, I would listen to it again, under the right circumstances.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Oct 17 2023

Some good ones, but not my favorite album from them.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Oct 19 2023

There is such a thing as being too high to make good music. What the hell is We Will Fall and how does that pointless garbage make it on an album? I expected much more emotion to come through on this album but it was mostly indifference. I mean, how are you in a studio, chanting ran ji ran etc, over and over and think somebody needs to hear this for 10 minutes? No Fun at least picked it up for a decent melody and riff. Not enough to save this so-called punk snoozefest.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Oct 20 2023

not sure of the significance of this album. Not my style of music, but it was catchy and I kind of liked it. I could see her putting on a good live show.

Tapestry by Carole King
Oct 23 2023

A lovely album. She has a great, soulful voice.

Oct 24 2023

Excellent album. Night swimming is a beautiful song among several other beautiful songs.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 25 2023

You be Illin’ is incredible. Hit it Run, Raising Hell and Peter Piper, he’ll this whole album is dope.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Oct 26 2023

Overall, it was good, namely because the lead singer has some serious pipes. Every time he screamed at me, I feel like it snapped me out of a daze induced by a 5+ minute jam session. There’s like a 7 minute jazz drum solo on one of the songs. At first, I thought it was pretty cool, then it just wouldn’t stop. 10 & 20 minute songs are not uncommon and it felt like an eternity getting through the album. It absolutely had its high points, though.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Oct 27 2023

This is a really good album. I never really gave this band a chance and I’m glad I did. I love their use of harmony.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 30 2023

What a great vibe. Such an easy album to listen to.

Rio by Duran Duran
Oct 31 2023

Very good album. Hungry Like the Wolf is one of my favorites.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Nov 01 2023

Interesting album. He is not shy about using any and all instruments in his music. There were a couple devastatingly sad songs on there, too.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Nov 02 2023

This album was too much fun! You can’t listen to it without moving. So great!

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Nov 03 2023

Lots of classics on this one. Hard not to like it.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 06 2023

Funky. Lots of brass and sax. I really dig it.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Nov 07 2023

I can’t believe I’d never heard of this band. What an awesome album!

On The Beach by Neil Young
Nov 08 2023

Never mad about listening to Neil Young. For the Turnstiles is a favorite of mine.

Cut by The Slits
Nov 09 2023

Cool album. New Town caught my ear with the arrangement.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Nov 10 2023

Excellent acoustic guitar work. Very thoughtful lyrics. Needle of Death was a very sad song. Good album.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Nov 13 2023

My second Beastie Boys album of this journey after License to Ill and I liked this one better. It felt put together better than their first album.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Nov 14 2023

I just love this album. So vivid and descriptive. Captivating all the way through.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Nov 15 2023

Lovely voice and some really good arrangements, especially on the title track.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Nov 20 2023

So good! Wish I could have seen him live and feel that energy in person.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Nov 21 2023

This album is so entertaining. I couldn’t exactly pin down the style of music but it was very good.

Homework by Daft Punk
Nov 22 2023

This music isn’t for me.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

I didn’t get into this album as much as I thought I would.

Very good. I could definitely get into this band.
