Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 06 2023
Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Oct 06 2023

I am not that big of a Gorillaz fan. My favorite thing about them is they remind me of my brother!

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Oct 17 2023

Although I love and respect Janis Joplin as a performer, her albums, and this one in particular, have always been too much for me. Her powerful voice combined with so much loud jamming is a lot.

New Forms by Roni Size
Oct 18 2023

I had never heard this before! It was a slog getting through only because of it's length. I kept picturing it as a soundtrack to some unrealized sci-fi movie (à la Jodorowsky's Dune)

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Oct 19 2023

I appreciate the Allman brothers but not as much this album. Although it should maybe be opposite, I tend to stay away from jam-prone bands live albums.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Oct 20 2023

I love this album and it is a go to for cooking, cleaning, and other household task!

Oct 24 2023

This is one of those live albums that has better versions of the songs than the studio versions! His performance turns these quaint classics into raucous party songs!

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Oct 25 2023

A lot of live albums so far. I wonder if this is just the list makers way of getting around the "no greatest hits" thing.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Oct 26 2023

Madonna has a high floor and this album is proof of that. Good album but I vastly prefer her 80's albums.

Oct 27 2023

I really like Lennon's solo/Yoko albums (yes, even Double Fantasy). I think their dreamy melancholy appeals to me. I am Pro-Ono

Oct 31 2023

I've always loved this album and play it at home a decent amount! This era of Ray Charles reminds my of a PSE commercial growing up that, I think, had one of his songs. The commercial depicted warm images of the home and a street in what I am guessing was West Seattle that lights up when the sun goes down. It had a strong impact on me. I still look for that street.

Vulnicura by Björk
Nov 01 2023

This is one of my least favorite Björk albums, but it is still really good! It gets 3 stars on the Björk scale but 4 stars here!

Be by Common
Nov 06 2023

I thought I knew this album better than I did. I really love it, which is not surprising because of Kanye and J Dilla's contributions.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 07 2023

I have been given a hard time by Wrigglesworth, Jimmy, and Keliko for not liking Creedence more. I probably like them more now than I did as a kid, which is unusual for classic rock bands.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 08 2023

I've always liked this album in theory, but not so much in reality.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Nov 09 2023

Surprise, surprise, I really love this album. By far my favorite of the his solo albums and the one that I think holds up the best.

xx by The xx
Nov 10 2023

I was only aware of this album and band but not sure I have ever heard them before! It is a nice album and one I will probably revisit

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Nov 13 2023

I appreciate Sonic Youth but have never been a super fan. Listening and focusing on it again after so many years, I am maybe more impressed than previously.
