Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 03 2024

Fun trippy exceedingly drugged out late 60s band. Very enjoyable!

Homework by Daft Punk
Jan 04 2024

Sitting at the lab and pipetting does not do this album justice. I am paying it too much attention to enjoy it. There are no ear worms or memorable motifs; I instead feel like my eardrums are being assaulted by an amorous android. Techno lights and at least three shots in a club setting is required to enjoy this. Background noise while writing could also match it.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jan 08 2024

Enjoyable, pretty consistent album

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jan 09 2024

Rockabilly across the pond, love it.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 10 2024

A lot of the elements that I enjoy (some blues, some alt rock, good vocals, fun lyrics) but the gestalt was unenjoyable

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 15 2024

Jazzy soulful with only minimal grunting. The lyrics are odd but the instrumentation and layering are great

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 16 2024

Take 5 was great, the rest of the album was fun and jazzy background.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Jan 17 2024

Shock rock isn’t for me. The music for those who “aren’t like other boys” and wants you to know it. Fun instrumentation and lots of influence from late 60s-early 70s rock

Jan 18 2024

The sort of weird I couldn’t tune out nor engage with. Still had some elements I enjoyed but few.

Jan 19 2024

Some great pieces in here, he has a very distinct sound, sometimes it’s to my taste, sometimes less so.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jan 22 2024

Very inventive, good distillation of his work, not quite to my taste

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jan 23 2024

Ultimate sad boy hour soundtrack, good blend of electronic and instrumentation. “All I Need” and “Nude” stole the show for me.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 24 2024

How fun not too screamy not too verbose not too thrashy just fun guitar licks

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 25 2024

Early southern rock and great guitar riffs and lines to make excellent cruisin’ music

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jan 26 2024

Good guitar heavy cruising dad music that made a shockingly compelling album

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jan 30 2024

Meandering with a purpose, enjoyed the guitar and layering, nice vocals

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jan 31 2024

It’s sad bob Dylan with a lot of different musical ideas but a heavy emphasis on vocals

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 01 2024

He sure has a sound and really just one lol

Feb 06 2024

Yes it’s satire but boy was this written by a very lyrically talented angry and bitter guy

Sincere by Mj Cole
Feb 07 2024

Some good ideas, some fun songs, most went on way too long for casual listening (at least this casual listener) but would be well suited for the club.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Feb 08 2024

The most interesting part of the album was the snippets in between. Not very memorable overall, enjoyable influence from Latin and jazz beats and motifs.

Risque by CHIC
Feb 09 2024

Disco isn’t quite the genre for me but I do appreciate the impact the genre has had on the sound of most other genres

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Feb 12 2024

Willie Nelson at his best. Simple yet intricate arrangements, poignant lyrics, good storytelling.

Melodrama by Lorde
Feb 13 2024

Still hits in the feels. Enjoyed the influence from electropop and choral layering of vocals and piano melodies. Lyrics and themes are still on point

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Feb 14 2024

Not super memorable, like when the Beatles came back post drugs and with a zither. somewhat exciting 60s tambourine, exotic strings and wind instrument fueled album.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Feb 15 2024

They sure had interesting ideas. There was a fair bit of range and variety but not all necessarily to my taste with some songs with a good central theme meandering and not building or concluding in meaningful ways.

Boston by Boston
Feb 19 2024

Songs that feel like you got the girl and are driving into your happily ever after. Not a lot of variety within the songs with similar instrumentation and a similar guitar riff continuing through the album but still very fun

Feb 21 2024

Some influence from country/western/rock make it enjoyable but not especially memorable. The song contents (the Christian life) are not as palatable

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 22 2024

Loved it, early 2000s alt with strong vocals and guitar rhythms and driving beats

Microshift by Hookworms
Feb 23 2024

It was aight some good ones

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Mar 12 2024

Good! Like stufjan Steven’s more alt cousin
