Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 05 2024

Original singer of "Son of a Preacher Man". Sound is iconic late 60s early 70s white lady in a nice way.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 06 2024

A lot of great songs - I remembered most of the album. Been many years so a delightful reminder of how awesome Marvin Gaye has always been. Many used in movies, so will be familiar to most people.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jan 07 2024

I'm checking the book out from the library to try and figure out why this album is on the list. I get that it was unique by only using tracksvalready recorded, but it was painful to listen to at times. Did he use a sound effects album on this?

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 09 2024

A fantastic blend of comfort and weird in every song.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jan 11 2024

Several covers, but a great voice.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 12 2024

I had forgotten about this album. Some hits that are now stuck in my head (again)

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 13 2024

Great harmonies while instrumental purposely sounding a little rough. I see why so many people mention this group. This was a delightful trip and I will add to my rotation.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jan 14 2024

Ah. So this is where "The Girl From Ipanema" came from. A short album with 2 versions of the song.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 15 2024

Interesting blend of heavy with classical. I love the band, and appreciate the art project.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 16 2024

A more "modern" Fleetwood Mac at the time, but still sounds like Fleetwood Mac. Some songs had a lot of radio play.

Blur by Blur
Jan 17 2024

It's okay. I liked their Brit pop better but I'm old.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jan 18 2024

Psychedelic hard rock. Solid vocals, would have loved this as a teen.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jan 20 2024

Interesting sound with each song. Great vocal harmony as well.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 22 2024

Her voice makes any song interesting

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jan 23 2024

Some of these are actually funny as well as sounding fantastic.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jan 25 2024

This gives me flashbacks. Fun yet the songs aren't very different from each other. One sound.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jan 26 2024
Gold by Ryan Adams
Jan 28 2024
Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jan 29 2024

I can see why this was well liked and sounds like it influenced a lot of current bands I listen to

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jan 30 2024

Very smooth vocals and instrumentals. Wish I had heard of him sooner.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Feb 02 2024

Rough vocals I prefer harmony of voices in this era, even in punk

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 03 2024

Where Iggy Pop started

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 04 2024
Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Feb 15 2024

This is just a bland pop album. Not sure why it's on this list.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
