Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jan 05 2024

Really loved the guitar and background music. His voice pairs really well with it but I didn’t focus a lot on the lyrics. Will need to give another listen to full appreciate those.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jan 06 2024

I think there are better albums by them but some of my fav songs are on this album and reminded me how much I love this group and need to listen to them more.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jan 07 2024

Kind of slow but worth another listen

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 08 2024

Great album. Much more political than I thought Metallica was but honestly haven’t listened to much of them. Will definitely be listening to more in the future.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jan 09 2024

So nostalgic for me. Not the best or my fav Green Day album but I was something I loved in high school and enjoyed revisiting.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jan 11 2024

Not my cup of tea but found a few songs I could listen to again. Had Talking Heads vibes at times.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jan 13 2024

Always thought of myself as a Bowie fan but have never listened to a full album. Really loved this. A farty Barry sax will get me every time.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jan 14 2024

Much more country than expected. Fun album.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jan 15 2024

Fun album. Totally 90s. Not what I expected based on the description. Plan to definitely check out more from this band.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 16 2024

Was disappointed when this album first popped up because I have never been a Zappa fan. This album was a lot of fun though and I liked it a lot. Will be returning to it.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jan 24 2024

Love his voice. Theme was fun. Too jazzy.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jan 25 2024

Boring and too jazzy

Jan 26 2024

Very fun album. Not something I would listen to all the time but will definitely come back to it.

Jan 27 2024

Great album. Full of misogyny and anti gay sentiment but the man knows how to string words together. Will be coming back to it. Nostalgia bait.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jan 29 2024

Cute, fun and groovy. Sound that is familiar but not sure if he pioneered it or what.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 30 2024

Have never listened to much soul music before. I thought this was great. I even preferred the much longer versions of the edited songs. The overall album was a joy to listen to.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jan 31 2024

Liked the first half of the album but the second half lost me. It became too out there in a way that did not grab me.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Feb 01 2024

Really liked this album. Fun definitely 80s. Plan to check out more from Orange Juice

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Feb 02 2024

I always forget how R&B Missy is. I have always thought of myself as a fan but have never really listened to a full album. I thought this was great and loved all the collabs with other artists.

Moon Safari by Air
Feb 03 2024

Great album. Definitely has become my go to for chill and work music.

Feb 05 2024

Knew of the Dead Kennedys but have never listened to them. I loved this. Felt like it could fit into today’s music.

Low by David Bowie
Feb 06 2024

Much more instrumental than I expected but I really enjoyed. Again, this just goes to show how much more I need to listen to Bowie.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Feb 07 2024

This was fine. Not something that I plan to seek out in the future.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Feb 09 2024

Fun rock album. Was worried I was in for hating it when the sax started in the first song but was pleasantly surprised where the album went.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Feb 12 2024

This was terrible. Psychedelic jam band with a mixture is slam poetry. 🤮

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Feb 13 2024

So good. Chris Cornell was amazing.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Feb 14 2024

Not a big folk person but this album was good. Felt like something I would hear today.

Feb 15 2024

Quiet, whisper rock that did nothing for me.

The Score by Fugees
Feb 17 2024

The two hits are killer but the album overall is also great.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 18 2024

Nostalgic when it came to the singles off this album. Everything else was fine. Good album.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Feb 19 2024

I would never have guessed this album was from the 80’s. It felt very modern. Really enjoyed this.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Feb 20 2024

The hits are great but other than that this album is pretty forgettable.

Feb 21 2024

Love this album. It is one I seek out. Kanye is so impressive in his production. The talent recruited for this album is amazing.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Feb 22 2024

Fun and charming!

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Feb 23 2024

Album was a bit boring. Samples used were fine. Felt old even for the late 90’s.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Feb 24 2024

Didn’t start listening to the Beatles until I was an adult. Knew some of these songs but this whole album was great.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 25 2024

Good album every song was very much the same.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Feb 27 2024

Found it very boring. Couldn’t tell one song from another. Mumble mumbles for a lead singer.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Feb 28 2024

Fine. Not great.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Mar 01 2024

This was not my jam…

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Mar 05 2024

Really loved this. Forget how much I am a country lover.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Mar 06 2024

I’m always amazed at the things that came out in the 70’s. This so cool and never would I have guessed it was over 40 years old.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Mar 07 2024

The sitar is such a cool instrument. Had a lot of fun listening to this album.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Mar 08 2024

Great album. Have never listened to much Dr. Dre but I’m glad this album came up.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Mar 09 2024

Fun. Message in a Bottle is amazing. The rest of the album doesn’t quite live up to it.

Medúlla by Björk
Mar 11 2024

Bjork has such a unique sound. I never know what I will get when listening to an album by her. I love everything she does.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Mar 12 2024

Not an album I listen to very often but it is amazing.
