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.

Music From Big Pink
The Band
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 Fat Of The Land
The Prodigy
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).

Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A.
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.

Very refreshing to hear this after NWA. Smart lyrics, questioning male authority, touching on deeper themes, different beats each song. Surprisingly enjoyed it.

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.

Fulfillingness' First Finale
Stevie Wonder
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
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.
