New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury

This album is ridiculous. It’s so campy it seems like an inside joke

With The Beatles by Beatles
Oct 23 2023

I’ve always liked this album, it was one of the first Beatles albums I really heard. Definitely some cheesy stuff on here but some great love songs, too.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Oct 24 2023

Not a bit fan of this record. Too moody/brooding for my taste. I do like some DM stuff and love 80’s new wave/alt/indie but this album didn’t do it for me.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Oct 25 2023

Enjoy this album, some good early Beatles songs and I like George’s 12 string but there’s some cheesy pop in there, too.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Oct 26 2023

Some classics on here. What I didn’t realize is how good the horns are on this entire record. Much more of a disco feel than I was expected. I knew probably 5-6 of these songs.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Oct 27 2023

Not heard this album before…not my favorite. There were some tracks early in the record that were very cool, samples blended together seamlessly but the second half of the album felt like less music more narrative sound bites and maybe too down tempo for my taste.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 28 2023

Absolute classic album. Some massive hits and some solid deep cuts. Great record, always happy to hear these tunes

Goo by Sonic Youth
Oct 29 2023

Not the album for me…I can understand why this was an important album at the time but a bit too abrasive for me. That said, the guitar layering is superb throughout and Disappearer is phenomenal and the standout track for me

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 30 2023

I really had no idea how acoustic this album was…some phenomenal songs on here and I need to listen to it a few more times. For whatever reason it’s one of the few Bruce albums I’d not heard much of. Reason to Believe was a highlight

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Oct 31 2023

Love AG, and actually didn’t realize that Let’s Stay Together was his only #1 hit, that surprised me. I like his upbeat stuff a bit more but I could listen to him read the phone book.

Timeless by Goldie
Nov 01 2023

Not really my jam here…to me much of this sounds like noise, frankly. State of Mind is solid, really liked it. Something about the fast drum beats paired with the slow melodies makes me uncomfortable. I like off signature times but not in this context

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Nov 02 2023

Didn’t know this album but thought it was pretty good. Boy With the Thorn was a highlight

Bossanova by Pixies
Nov 03 2023

Overall I liked this album. Very familiar with them but only a few songs I knew before listening straight through (Velouria, mostly). Cecilia Ann, Dig For Fire and The Happening big highlights for me. Stormy Weather also solid

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Nov 05 2023

Had never heard this album but great jazz. Loved his organ playing and just a smooth listen.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Nov 06 2023

Never heard it straight through before and I liked it. The rap heavy songs are excellent but I didn’t expect so much R&B…it was also good but unexpected, at least for me.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 07 2023

Never heard it straight through…funny how the original version of NWNC is just underwhelming compared to the live version. First track was a standout

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Nov 08 2023

Not for me, Clive. Did not like this one at all. 2Kindsa Love was the only song I liked.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Nov 09 2023

Not the record for me…not my style and few of the songs were catchy enough to interest me. Seems like their earlier stuff is more up my alley

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Nov 10 2023

Never heard this album before. Some really good songs, especially in the beginning. Some of the songs sound a little like showtunes but overall pretty good.

Synchronicity by The Police
Nov 11 2023

Not my favorite Police album but a classic. King of Pain is one of my favorite Police songs ever.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Nov 12 2023
Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Nov 13 2023

Some classics on this but early long play Bob isn’t my favorite. Songwriting is great, throughout, very visceral

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Nov 14 2023

To me, this is more poetry than music. It’s beautiful and sad this was his last album.

Nov 15 2023

I get why this was groundbreaking and I like both Eno and Byrne but this was not an easy listen. Not my style

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Nov 16 2023

I can see how this was revolutionary at the time, and how it influenced music, but it sounded dated to me.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Nov 17 2023

This album is ridiculous. It’s so campy it seems like an inside joke

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Nov 18 2023

Great album, full of jazz, blues, great vocals.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Nov 20 2023

Not really my style but some decent songs on there

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 21 2023

Nice easy listening, love the percussion

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Nov 27 2023

Some great songs mixed in with some pretty experimental stuff

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Nov 30 2023

Never heard this but familiar with Weller. I really liked this album

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Dec 01 2023

The fact this was all improv is wild. Incredible

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Dec 12 2023

A few decent tracks but not my favorite album by Drake

S&M by Metallica
Dec 14 2023
2112 by Rush
Dec 15 2023

Would have loved to heard the record label’s reaction to a 21 minute rock opera to open the album.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Dec 16 2023
Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Dec 19 2023

Not a huge Janus fan, only in small doses.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Dec 22 2023

More of a Sketches of Spain guy

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 24 2023
Boston by Boston
Dec 27 2023
Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Dec 28 2023

Liked it more than I thought I would, wasn’t real familiar with this album

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jan 01 2024
Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jan 02 2024
After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jan 04 2024

A true 2.5 for me. Love one song, hate the next. The Tao of Neil Young and I

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 05 2024

Not my fav of their albums but good

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jan 07 2024

Love TVOTR but not this album.

Jun 22 2024

Rocks by Aerosmith
