3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Oct 23 2023

1989. I was a freshman in high school. I don’t remember this album, and as an almost 50 year old, one definitely has to be in the mood for it. I like it, but I’d like it better if I had time to listen in a better setting.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Oct 24 2023

1985. Shout, Head Over Heels, Everybody Wants to Rule The World… Great songs. Josh: Wow.. that was the very first music I heard on CD and I will never forget it. I listened to that whole album. My friends older brother bought a cd player and it was in like 87.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Oct 25 2023

1959. This album made me so happy! It was perfect, easy listening while I was working.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Oct 26 2023

1997. The year Josh and I got together. Paris. Bitter Sweet Symphony.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 30 2023

2007. No. I couldn’t listen to this one. BPM too high for 430am and the songs didn’t get any better to me

Oct 31 2023

Eh. It sounded like a nightmare to me. Chaotic. There were some songs that I could stomach for a minute, but couldn’t listen to the whole thing. I tried.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Nov 01 2023

1999. Sounded more like late 80s early 90s, self published material. The first couple tracks just sounded like somebody got a new iMac and garage band and wanted to throw a bunch of stuff in it. But then I started to really enjoy HYPNOTISE and it got better after that. Probably wouldn’t buy the CD but because it kept my attention, it gets a 3

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Nov 06 2023

1975. This album sounds like the 70s music I remember growing up. To me, it SOUNDS like the 70s.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Nov 07 2023

1981. I looooove the Go Gos. I remember singing their songs. Takes me back in time. Fun. Our Lips Are Sealed and We Got The Beat are songs I remember with fondness.

Odelay by Beck
Nov 08 2023

Made the mistake of starting this album at 4am. A little too rambunctious for that early. I remember WHERE ITS AT from this album.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Nov 09 2023

1978. THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! Yes! Good vibes at 5am. I appreciate what I consider the 70s “sound”, unique vocals, electric guitar, bass, and drums. Doesn’t need a whole lot of clutter.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Nov 10 2023

1980. At first I didn’t like it. Didn’t like the tempo and The loud treble sounds - snake and cymbals. I liked Breakin The Law. Not for me.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Nov 13 2023

Second jazzy album that I don’t like. It’s too “tinny” and grates on my ears.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 20 2023

Liked.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 27 2023

Great album. I used to run to a Bob Marley play list. Stopped running in 2018 when the doctor told me I needed anew knee. Hearing Three Little Birds brought back great memories. Also made me think of Hawaii and the movie 50 First Dates

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Nov 30 2023

Sounded like 1975! First song. The others were unique. Kind of a hodgepodge of feelings that the rest of the album elicited

The Score by Fugees
Dec 01 2023

I like Lauren Hill. Didn’t listen to this genre in the 90s

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Dec 05 2023

1983. This is the perfect example of 80s pop. I know most of the songs on the album and the ones I didn’t sounded familiar. 5 for nostalgia

Achtung Baby by U2
Dec 07 2023

1991. I love Bono’s vocals. This is a great album. The songs all sound like they belong together. Similar rhythms and style. Mysterious Ways, One, …Wild Horses. All good

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Dec 08 2023

2002. Sounds about 10 years before that. Ok, but not really my thing.

Dec 11 2023

1987. I really like the sound of this album. It sounds like it could have been written to fit into a playlist of current music.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Dec 19 2023

Jazz I like. Songs on album sound very similar.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 20 2023

I like his voice. Odd mix of songs the album. Ethereal

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Dec 29 2023

Has a coffeehouse vibe. Not fond of his nasally voice but it’s a nice album for background music

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 01 2024

GREAT album!!!1971 Classic

Green by R.E.M.
Jan 02 2024

Angsty album. 1988. I know STAND. Song lyrics mostly don’t rhyme. I never use to “listen” to the song, lyrics above my head.
