Her sound and production has come SO far. Love her style.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 26 2024

Found the music more interesting than the lyrics. Very Beatlesque

Jan 30 2024

A classic, I know. But wasn't a fan then and still not feelin it now (with the exception of a couple tracks).

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jan 31 2024

Easy to like and definitely preferred over Figure 8.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Feb 01 2024

The 1st rock n roll I ever heard. The versatile King still holds up.

Some amazing musicians, but doesn't move me. Liked some tracks, others not so much

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Feb 13 2024

Creative, one of a kind.

Some cuts are borderline annoying. Not my thing.

Ten by Pearl Jam

SO many amazing and influential cuts on one album...and their debut? What?!

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 20 2024

Makes me wonder what could have been...

Never found the love for The Grateful Dead, sounds sacrilegious I know.

Some classics

In a word, boring. I kept waiting for something to catch my interest, but it never happened.

Mar 04 2024

Classic

Liked some early tracks but the album ran out of steam for me.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Mar 07 2024

Wish I had heard this sooner. Can hear the thru lines to more recent bands.

Mar 08 2024

Appreciate the skill and musicianship, but doesn't move me much.

Mar 22 2024

Not as hit worthy as other SD albums...but just as good.

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 25 2024

Fun, amazing memories brought back.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Mar 27 2024

Cutting edge at the time. Have to be in a certain mood to enjoy it. And if you're in that mood all the time, you probably need help.

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 28 2024

I love this album, plain and simple.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Mar 29 2024

Love the lengthy grooves!

1989 by Taylor Swift
Apr 01 2024

I get why this was and is so popular, catchy and simple...like so many. I tried, I really did. But bored quickly. A head bob is not really feelin it.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 02 2024

Too dark and not engaging.Tragic story. I wish he, like others, really found their peak.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 03 2024

I get how pivotal this album was, but it's not easy to listen to.

Be by Common
Apr 05 2024

Common is simply a talent. I love his work, particularly this album. Dilla's influence shapes things....Kanye's popularized it. (And he got more lost afterwards).

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Apr 10 2024

SO love some Man in Black! Time being what it is, when I overlook misogynistic references, and mention of violence...I still love me Jonny Cash.

A few songs I really liked, but overall, not that enjoyable.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 06 2024
