The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Nov 06 2023

This is one of those weird albums. That sounds like a different member of the band did different songs... Definitely a huge 60s vibe. I recognized Lou Reed's voice. And Femme Fatale is the first track that I recognized.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Nov 07 2023

My appreciation for punk has increased over the years. I like this stuff.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Nov 08 2023

So many thoughts come up listening to this album. Jerry Lee Lewis was huge when my dad was a kid and I imagine him loving this music. I also want to look up why Hamburg was the hot spot for music back then. I grew up in Germany as an American military brat and I bet it was a blast hanging out in Hamburg in the 1960s.

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 09 2023

Heart of Gold, Old Man, There's a World, Alabama, The Needle and the Damage Done, are absolute classics. What an album. Raw. Real. Lovely.

Bossanova by Pixies
Nov 10 2023

One song was super screamy. Several good ones. Great guitar and the lead singer's voice is unique.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Nov 14 2023

That first song suuuuucks. Master of Puppets is good and so is Welcome Home. I like the more melodic stuff but the grindy tracks are annoying. I appreciate the political message of a few of the tracks. I only recently figured out that Ozzy Osbourne had some political messages too. Who knew that these crazy thrasher bands could do that stuff?

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Nov 15 2023

I don't really listen to jazz and I truly enjoyed this album. A few of the tracks had trumpet notes that reminded me of a sketch about a bad trumpet player.

Nov 16 2023

Meh. I'm guessing I would enjoy this a lot more if I could see what he was doing. I don't think his singing is that great on this album.

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 17 2023

I like the hits. Otherwise, a little too homogeneous for me.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Nov 18 2023

Natural Woman made me cry today. As cliche as it may be, it is exactly how I feel about my husband. This album is amazing and Chain of Fools is a banger.

Nov 22 2023

There are a few tracks i enjoyed. My favorite is an instrumental one called Through Hollow Lands. It doesn't sound like 1977. The version I listened to on YouTube music was a 2004 remaster. Sounds more like 2004.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 23 2023

Fucking terrible. The second track is over the top dirty and just dumb. It's hard to take this seriously at all.

Nov 26 2023

I'm a fan of rap but not necessarily of this kind. I love the political messages. Chuck D. Has a unique voice. He could be rapping about sunshine and rainbows and still found angry.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Nov 28 2023

This is the kind of hip hop I like!

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 30 2023

Some classics on this one.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Dec 01 2023
In Utero by Nirvana
Dec 02 2023

Enjoyed the singles and a few others. The screaming ones bugged me.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Dec 07 2023

Never listened to this artist before, but I enjoyed her quite a bit.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Dec 20 2023

Don't worry about the government is great

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Dec 29 2023
Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 09 2024

Tiny Dancer and Levon! Indian Sunset is a bit problematic but he rest is also good
