big fan of some of the vibes (don't die just yet)
others, like Caddell Returns, put me ill at ease

Kings of Leon
4/5
Lots of my favorite KOL songs. Great album front to back. His voice is less polished that later on and I like it that way.

Fleetwood Mac
4/5
could tell that it wasn't all recorded together. three different people could have put out three albums. no real flow between them.
still some good songs i'd never heard before. lots about love and its beginnings.
The Band
3/5
Did not realize what an influential album this was. maybe it was just the day, but i didn't connect with it. Im not used to three different vocalists. One interesting note was that the Weight, the most popular osng, is an idyllic look at americana towns but the rest of the album looks at everything from a more pessimistic lens (golden claf, hexagram), etc. I was also surprised to hear theyre from canada/ny. lots to learn!
The Prodigy
4/5
pretty fun listen. made me think of mike and hs hits. easy to work to, high bpm kept me going early in the AM. heard precursor to heavier bands like NIN (though at this point idk if this album came first).
N.W.A.
3/5
Surprisingly well mixed and able to understand the lyrics more than most modern rap. Simple yet effective beats. Really heavily violence/drugs/misogyny throughout, further above the social commentary that is also there. Kinda lost me towards the end being a little repetitive.
Little Simz
4/5
Very refreshing to hear this after NWA. Smart lyrics, questioning male authority, touching on deeper themes, different beats each song. Surprisingly enjoyed it.
Pearl Jam
3/5
Hit machine. I knew most of the songs but enjoyed getting to hear a few more. Like garden and why go, especially now that I’m a parent. Wasn’t magical but solid album front to back.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
enjoyable listen. his voice is not as raspy or baritone as i thought it was supposed to be. more of an ensemble than just the piano i expected as well. not anything in here that truly captured me but was nice background music as i worked.
Jeff Beck
3/5
good listen. had to read up to realize it was Rod Stewart on vocals, because that I recognized immediately. The guitar is distinctive and immediately placeable, so I'm glad i know now it's jeff beck.
Enjoyable listen with some cool songs on here that aren't the mainstream rock of the era. cool guitar licks unlike others ive heard on records.
Kings of Leon
4/5
Lots of my favorite KOL songs. Great album front to back. His voice is less polished that later on and I like it that way.
Rod Stewart
4/5
Great album. Iconic voice. Will listen again.
OutKast
3/5
Funky. Some funny songs and some big hits. Enjoyable journey.
Curtis Mayfield
2/5
Interested to see the movie. Interesting theme of working for yourself, not the man, and not doing drugs.
The Fall
2/5
The Stone Roses
4/5
Drive-By Truckers
3/5
Pretty political and interesting stories told in the lyrics. Heavier southern rock. Interested to read about them as I know they’re very prolific
Elastica
4/5
The White Stripes
3/5
More meh than I thought it would be. Outside of the two songs I knew well I didn’t really connect with many of them.
Nirvana
5/5
The Pogues
4/5
Very fun listen. Hard not to smile and bop along. Boys loved it too.
Country Joe & The Fish
3/5
Funky stoner music, a little more on the chill side than the doors. Liked a few of the songs plenty.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
3/5
Funky, upbeat, lots of sexual lyrics, didn’t know this album had 20 songs. Some classics for sure.
The Cramps
2/5
Pretty meh. A lot sounded the same. I can see why included but prob won’t listen again
Nick Drake

reminded me of Ours. really like it, especially as it got further into the album.
The Who
3/5
Still just can’t get into the who
John Grant
4/5
Definitely didn’t expect what I got from the album cover, but really enjoyed the down to earth similes and pop references alongside unmasked insecurity and vulnerability.

3/5
Exactly what I expected. Iconic voice instantly recognizable. Simple and relaxing songs.
Billy Bragg

Liked it better than the other album which I think is more popular. Enjoyed trying to place a lot of the influences
Roni Size
2/5
Meh. Very similar to the prodigy and some others
The Associates
2/5
If they were early in synth, I get why they’d be on the list, but I’m not sure what was special about it from one listen.
Suzanne Vega

Fun listen to the lyrics that are literal and metaphorical in a spoken type voice. Recognized the voice but didn’t connect til after.
