Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Nov 22 2023

I find the individual songs hard to get into but the album really works as one piece. More folky and blues than I am used to with the Stones.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 24 2023

One note. Not my jam.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Nov 25 2023

Don’t love Neil’s voice. Pretty standard sounding.

Imagine by John Lennon
Nov 25 2023

Loved the first few songs but then the record faded for me.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Nov 26 2023

Just boring and not that interesting. Ok background vibes. Very jammy. Don’t love his voice.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Nov 27 2023

Very chill and pleasant. Good background music. Kind of boring.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 28 2023

I like this album way better than their original album. Their first album is one note…punk. This was interesting and more soothing. I now understand their popularity.

Nov 29 2023

That was a strange album. One or two songs I really liked, others not as much. Nothing to draw me in. Felt like poetry put to a tune.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Nov 30 2023

Really enjoyed it! I don’t often listen to this type of music. It was very soothing. Obviously a talented group of singers. Good background music when working too.

Boston by Boston
Dec 01 2023

First two songs are well known and great. But then I realized that the whole album sounds the exact same. I couldn’t even tell what song was playing. One note. And eventually very dull. It’s alright for background music, but boring in the end.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Dec 02 2023

Still don’t like his voice. Songs were ok but can’t get past his singing voice. Nails to chalkboard.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Dec 03 2023

Really like it! Can’t even imagine how crazy this was when it came other in 1969. The vocals and instrumentation are extraordinary. Never listened to the whole album. Was surprise at how sad some of the songs are lyrically.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Dec 04 2023

Ella voice is wonderful of course. Smooth. Her phrasing is great. However many of the songs are boring and you really need to be in the mood to listen to this music. I wasn’t today.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Dec 05 2023

Pretty easy listening. Nothing bad but nothing particularly great.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Dec 06 2023

It’s ok. Gets repetitive

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Dec 07 2023

I thought one song was good. The rest … nope. The vibrato on the voice was annoying. The songs were weird. Not my jam.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Dec 08 2023

This felt like a lot of noise. Couldn’t hear or understand the singer. It was weird. Not my jam.

Dec 09 2023

Really enjoyed this one. One or two songs were a miss but overall great. Didn’t know I like muse beyond the radio. But turns out I do and would like to see them live.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Dec 10 2023

I didn’t hate it. Kind of boring and one note. Really didn’t like the song with the dissonance. Hard to understand the lyrics. Voice was decent. Meh.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Dec 11 2023

Take me back to the 80s! A fun album. Don’t want to listen to it all day. A product of its time and overall enjoyable.

American Idiot by Green Day
Dec 12 2023

Great album. Love Green Day. May have been a little long. But some really good songs.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Dec 13 2023

Well that was different. Liked the vibe. Didn’t love the song with animal noises. Don’t need to listen to it again.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Dec 14 2023

I don’t want to listen to this type of music everyday. It isn’t bad but it doesn’t give me any desire to dance, sing along, be happy. I have never enjoyed this type of voice either. No doubt the lyrics are interesting.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Dec 15 2023

First half was good. Lost steam in back half. Definitely more mature sound than first album

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Dec 16 2023

Nostalgia 100%! Not their best best still love it. Some songs are perfect. Others are ok. But can’t help but give it a good score.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Dec 17 2023

Was my fav when I was a teen. Still love most of it. Nostalgia for days.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Dec 18 2023

Clearly a few great songs on this album but there is also many that Just don’t do it for me. It’s a weird album.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 19 2023

Liked it more than I thought I would. Very 80s. Some interesting songs.
