Bryter Layter by Nick Drake

Nick Drake impresses me more and more as I delve further back in his repertoire.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Oct 21 2023

Not loving this one. It kind of sounds like James Bond theme music from two or three or more decades ago.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Oct 22 2023

Great! Cool covers. I especially liked For No one

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Oct 23 2023

Ah! Another Scottish rock band! (ala Fratellis and Proclaimers, except this one has a highly recognizable 90's sound) "what you do to me" is nice. It's the only one on here that I might want to perform on my own.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters

Hi energy - great disco-esque vibes. The cover of Comfortably Numb was fabulous!!!! (wasn't available on YouTube Music in US, but found it on regular YouTube).

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Oct 25 2023

Oh jeez... I understand what this album stands for in terms of reviving teen pop at the turn of the millennium. But there's not a single track on this album that I was able to listen to from start to finish. I didn't like any these songs before, and I dislike them even more now.

Bossanova by Pixies
Oct 28 2023

Hit or miss for me. I most enjoyed the first track

Let It Be by The Replacements
Oct 30 2023

Too hard. Yelling.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Nov 01 2023
The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Nov 02 2023

I didn't know much about the Cowboy Junkies before this. They are Canadian - which is a great start. The first track of this album is a beautiful solo acapella by Margo Timmins. This album is right up my alley. Soulful, country/folk music with subtle harmonies.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Nov 03 2023

I have this one on vinyl (from my dad's old collection). With Honky Tonk Women and You Can't Always Get What You Want, it's a clear winner!

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Nov 04 2023

Very classic 70's brit rock. I could picture their outfits without ever seeing them. My favorite songs were the last two: Through the Looking Glass and Roll Away the Stone

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Nov 06 2023

Mostly not my thing. A little too grungy. Black Hole Sun is the only one on here that I would say I "liked"

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Nov 07 2023

Great folk music! Especially liked Birds and Ships & Ingrid Bergman

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Nov 09 2023

Mr Brightside. Somebody Told Me. Change your Mind... This album is full of hits!

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 10 2023

I really like "Killing Moon." Most of the other songs didn't do it for me. It has a very dramatic "Moody Blues" kind of sound.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Nov 13 2023

I can't imagine another album that is going to surpass this one. Leonard Cohen's poetry and singing... They just never get old

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Nov 14 2023

Nick Drake impresses me more and more as I delve further back in his repertoire.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Nov 18 2023

I have loved this album since I first heard it back in 1992 (4 years after it's release). It is timeless.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 24 2023

I love murder ballads!

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Nov 27 2023

I have this one on vinyl! It's a good one :)

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Nov 28 2023

Good energy without being too distracting. I'm enjoying having this in the background while I work.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Dec 03 2023

👍👍👍👍

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Dec 08 2023

Oh geeze. Listened with my GF, who grew up on Linkin Park. They are talented for what they do, but this is NOT my music. So angry, rageful... It's impossible to appreciate the underlying music, chord structures, melodies, or even the other emotions of the lyrics.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Dec 10 2023

Not my go-to genre, but her vocals are impressive, and these tracks draw from her 1920-1950's inspiration in an interesting modern soulful R&B style.

Dec 12 2023

Silence Kid has a very "Buddy Holly" vibe hiding behind it's grungy punky rock sound. Stop Breathin' had an out-of-tune country sound. A little Rolling Stones. This is a weird album and I like it. Newark Wilder sounds like CAKE

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Dec 14 2023

This has to be one of the best albums in the entire list. Period.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Dec 24 2023

This is a really cool album, and many of the songs are in African dialects, rather than English. "The Click Song" is really fun Also enjoyed Mbube, which is the original "Lion Sleeps Tonight," and a fantastic cover of "House of the Rising Sun."

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Dec 28 2023

Generic blah. Absolutely uninteresting grungy amateur garage noise.

Dec 29 2023

First impression (Track 1) - kinda of Oasis-y (in a good way). I really liked M62 - good brit rock and a little funky N.Y. is pretty trippy - not my thing. Satellites brings up a lot of Coldplay vibes, and while it may not be terribly original, I still enjoy having it on.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Dec 31 2023

Mellow. Lo-fi. Spans many decades.
