Love it. He’s British, but this album is pure NYC nostalgia for me, everytime I listen (which is still once a year at least) I feel like I’m walking around Central Park in the Fall. Bought this cd the week I moved to NY in 2007 on a bartender recommendation - at Kim’s on Broadway. Highly recommend to not skip this one! technically there are a couple skippable songs on here, but its mostly gems throughout. A classic for fans of the Beatles and early 2000s indie rock.

I appreciate this albums place in history, and if it we're 1986 and we were listening to this for the first time, I'm sure it would be mind blowing, but today I can't listen to a whole Run DMC album straight through. I like them one song at a time, during random times in my life. I learned through the Wikipedia that Rick Rubin produced this album when he was 23! (and he'd been at it for a few years)...crazy, that guy is a genius and has the most amazing music resume (seriously check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin_production_discography). Also, they finally got Jam Master Jay's killer... so that's cool!

Every song has a different feel, but the energy remains the same. Its loud and punk throughout but with tender touches. The vocal duality of Black Francis and Kim Deal is magical. Such a fun band and album. 4.5 stars but I'm rounding up on this one.

I know this is considered one of the greatest albums of all time, and I deeply respect it, nearly perfectly executed, great funk beats, and Stevie's voice is one of a kind. But, I've listened to this now 3-4 times, and outside of a few tracks (Living for the City, Don't You Worry About a Thing - both slap) the rest just doesn't do it for me. Excited to dig into the rest of Stevie's 70s catalogue, but won't revisit this one unless I do this list again. Can see my opinion changing on this one as I get older though

Harvest
Neil Young
I went through RS top 500 albums in 2020 including the 7 Neil Young albums on the list. While I had previously loved some of his songs, going through his best albums gave me a new appreciation for him, which quickly led to an obsession. He was the biggest and best surprise of the entire list. Bought several of his records after that and went on an intense binge (maybe driven by covid loneliness) and listened to his entire catalogue (30+ albums) - They're all good. 'Harvest' is the perfect album to start with. Not my favorite NY album, maybe not even in my top 5, but one of his most generally loved. Perfect opener with "Out on the Weekend" and then each track builds, not a dud on here - highlights are the hits, + "Alabama" "Harvest" "Man Needs a Made" "Needle" "Words". . Got to see Neil Young for the first time this year and he played 'Heart of Gold' a very special moment for me - right after a surprise appearance by Bob Dylan and warming up for Willie Nelson. The best part...this is just the tip of the ice berg.

First, Happy Christmas Eve. Second, the kids are into records again, so I started a new tradition with my two nieces last Christmas, we go out and pick an album on vinyl and I buy it for them. 'Queen is Dead' was my 13yo niece Amelia's top choice (Pixies Doolittle was also on her list).
One thought, poor old Morrissey probably doesn't know exactly how Joan of Arc felt but "Bigmouth strikes again" is still a banger- and -very fitting for someone who's infamous for saying dumb things - "Light that Never Goes Out" might be the most emo of all the emo songs of all time.

Its dark avant garde and really artsy. Predicting most people won't like, but very interesting discovery for me though. I always held Les Claypool (Primus/Oysterhead) as one of the most creative musicians of all time. I didn't love this, but it so closely resembled Primus that I assumed this must be a big Les Claypool influence - turns out YES, this was like his favorite band. Which is crazy if you know Primus, this is almost a total rip off (Primus is just slightly less dark, more commercially friendly, and cleaner singing).

I like this band, I like their sound, I don’t love this album. starts out really preachy and repetitive, too much beat poetry sprinkled in (ol Johnny clearly going for a Patti smith-horses vibe - and getting away from the Sex Pistols sound that made him famous). The album gets better though, “annalisa” and “public image” are great songs). Shocked the scores are so low. anyway, The next PIL album is way better -dare i say ‘great, (second edition), no preach talking and a solid vibe throughout.

Fatlip from Pharcyde said it best: "Your mama is so big and fat that she can get busy with twenty-two burritos, but times are rough I seen her in the back of Taco Bell with handcuffs". Preach Fatlip. Love these guys, they're clearly having a blast making this album and messin around lyrically on most songs. Passin' Me By is a juggernaut - on of the best hip hip beats of all time.

Rain Dogs
Tom Waits
Perfect weather for my favorite Tom Waits album. Rain Dogs is Tom Waits at his creative/weird peak (along with Swordfishtrombone). It might seem like this is a bunch of goofing around, but like an abstract painting by Picasso -with colors -, every moment here is meticulously arranged into a brilliant mirage of sound. It evokes emotion (maybe emotion you don't always want to feel) - but I love where it takes me mentally. Tom Waits is a musical genius, and his vocal range and composing ability are almost alien. Changing his vocal style entirely and musical genre on every song, but somehow still weaving a perfect tapestry like an eclectic patch quilt. The appreciation and respect I have for this guy, because of this period (83-85), is right up there with Neil Young (72-79), Bowie (71-77) and Bjork (95-01) during their creative peaks. There's nothing else like it and there never will be.

This was the first vinyl Rachael and I bought together as a couple. Very special memories. Amazing singing from a legend who was gone way too soon. Other than 2 songs, this is an album of covers, which IMO, Otis puts his signature on and they are my preferred versions especially, "Change is Gonna Come", "Down in the Valley", "I've Been Loving You too Long" and "My Girl". Ironically the one song he did write on this album "Respect", is not as memorably as the other songs, at least not until Aretha put her spin on it and made it legendary.

You all should definitely read this Wikipedia - Lindsey Buckingham was a maniac during the recording apparenetly "For certain songs, Buckingham played a Kleenex box" "Early on, he came in and he'd freaked out in the shower and cut off all his hair with nail scissors. He was stressed" was determined to make the band sound less like "Rumors" and more like the Talking Heads.

Thelonious Monk
Holy Shit! Three of the best at their instrument during their prime. Thelonious Monk (piano), Sonny Rollins (sax) and Max Roach (drums) (+ a few others) in 1957- Jazz doesn't get much better than this. Brilliant Corners, Ba-Lu Bolivar and Bemsha Swing are three of my all-time favorite jazz compositions. Enjoyed this with a glass of bourbon and some mood lighting. I had this on repeat all day.

Blood On The Tracks
Bob Dylan
The first Bob Dylan cd I ever bought (in college) and my favorite to this day. In fact my favorite album of the 1970s. Every song is a classic. 10/10 lyrics 10/10 music. Love how Bob Dylan reinvents himself musically every few years (how he sings and how he plays), but at the core of everything he does and the one thing that never changes is the genius of his lyrics. This one is all about his divorce from Sara in 74, extremely personal, but also relatable.

This is the Dylan album that cemented his legacy and made him a cultural and political icon, his first album of originals, and he was only 22.

If you need a good cry this morning go watch the video for "Hurt" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHCfZTRGiI. One of the last things he and June flimed a few months before they died. Cash's version of the Nine Inch Nails song is incredible in its own right, but the video is one of the best ever made (especially for Cash fans and those that know his story). This is his last album, its all solid. He is one of the rare singers whose voice continued to get better as he got older. Go see your favorite artists live - they won't be around forever.

Of all the Bealtes studio albums, this is easily ranked dead last for me. And that doesn't mean its bad (Love Lennon's cover of Money - and McCartney's All My Lovinge and Harrison's Don't Bother Me). Early Beatles has nothing on creative/psychadelic Beatles. Also, this is the only Beatles album comprised mostly of covers. Of course, 99% of their catalogue is originals, so this album just doesn't do them justice in anyway shape or form.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse
45 year old Neil Young put out one of the best grunge records of the 90s. Its spot on dirty garage rock, with highlights being White Line, Love and Only Love, F&%in Up, Love to Burn, Mansion on a Hill....some of Crazy Horse's best stuff since the mid-70s. I guess this was heavily influential on Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain, right before their big breaks. I'm obviously a Neil Young & CH fan, but I didn't fully appreciate this album until just 3 weeks ago, when I saw the band live -for the first time - down in Huntsville, and they played three tracks from this one. They still rock hard and put on a helluva show, it was incredibly special.

Thundercat
I love Thundercat's vibe this is a really cool album. Somebody at the bar at my 40th birthday party kareokoed "Them Changes" - and I was like, dang, i didn't realize that's where we were with Thundercat, but now here we are - one of the greatest albums of all time, and it feels right.

I actually never used to be a fan of Karen O's voice (but liked a few songs). Listening to this whole album, actually changed my mind. I do like her voice, and I really like these songs.

Gang Starr
Phenomenal album. The first jazz/hip hop fusion album. Was lucky to see Gang Starr in college before Guru passed. Gang Starr is really one of the best hip-hop duos of our time - and Guru -one of the most underrated rappers of all time - I stand by that. RIP Guru.

The "Down-at-the-men-in-music-business-conference" line from "White Dress" is such a funny phrasing. Otherwise, Pretty nice chill vibe. I like LDR.

Its not bad, it just sounds outdated for the time- like a relic from the early 80s. With all the other great hip hop of 1988/1989 (Beastie Boys, NWA, Public Enemy, EPMD), I don't see how they were included on this list.
