Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jan 05 2024

Wonderfully timeless. Some tracks hit it for me more than others.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jan 08 2024

The funk/disco fusion on Boogie On ... is killer. So much of this was new to me and I really liked it.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jan 09 2024

Kinda underwhelming. Don't feel like it's aged as well.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jan 10 2024

It's... so dense! The flow is good, but a little too much for regular listening.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 11 2024

I appreciate the history, but the old punk scene doesn't really do it for me. It's like, too much of a slow plod.

Jan 12 2024

Some of the drumming and background seems almost Beach Boys-esque, and I hear lots of precursors/similarities to the Talking Heads. Also just like, weird electronic experimentation that's pretty fun.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 16 2024

Dig it. Deez nuuuuuuuuuuuuts!

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jan 17 2024

I agree with Dre, "Shady's basic". The flow is fine, but like, whether ironic or not he's just being an asshole.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jan 18 2024

Classic, hits me right in the college. I think I didn't appreciate Jack White until a little after this came out, but he really does a great service to modern rock and roll.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jan 19 2024

Had never even heard this name before. It's ok, but didn't really hook me on anything. Can see where they fit in to the overall Brit punk genre.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jan 22 2024

It's Elvis. Classic. Prob won't go into the everyday rotation, but it's great to hear.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jan 24 2024

Mr Loaf fucking kills. All cylinders, all the time.

Faith by George Michael
Jan 25 2024

Not a fan. The singles come off strong but the rest of the album really takes a dive.

Pink Flag by Wire
Jan 26 2024

I like the ambient background stuff. Better than some other Brit-punk ...

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jan 29 2024

Classic. Not much new here, but always a pleasure.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jan 31 2024

Interesting but... didn't pull me in.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 01 2024

Seems so deeply engrained in a lot of what I hear at this point, great listen.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 02 2024

Classic 90s, but it seemed a little stunted compared to their little bit later stuff. Feels like I remember it being a few bpm faster.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Feb 06 2024

Interesting listen... the tubas harken back to an older time, but the definitely still has a foot in rock and punk.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Feb 07 2024

Definitely embedded in my brain as formative music memories.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Feb 09 2024

It's... surprising. Background orchestra is really moving. I didn't get super into it, but glad to have heard it.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Feb 12 2024

Good stuff. Would listen again.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Feb 14 2024

Like it. Some guitar riffs sounded like they might have been things Jack White pulled directly from.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Feb 16 2024

It's interesting, and I appreciate the representation of some non-Western ideas, but... eh.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 19 2024

Classic. Don't think I'd realized how folksy some of the olds Stones is.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Feb 20 2024

Some massive hits, but super disjointed as an album.

Dookie by Green Day
Feb 23 2024

Classic

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 28 2024

Kinda all over the place. Not keen on it.

Garbage by Garbage
Feb 29 2024

Good stuff. Never listened to it much but it's solid.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Mar 04 2024

Kinda amazing.

Faust IV by Faust
Mar 06 2024

New to me and interesting. Kinda all over but i dig their vibe.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Mar 07 2024

Couple classics, but as an album pretty rough. Some of the technical work in the "other" songs is good and very much foundational prog, but it's uneven.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 11 2024

Not bad, but... eh.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 12 2024

Pretty deeply ingrained, and seems to hold up. Even the back of the album still pays well.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Mar 15 2024

Kinda... mellow jam something something?

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 19 2024

Classic

Mar 22 2024

Interesting... wouldn't listen all the time, but pretty cool blend of styles and def neat album to dig into.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Mar 26 2024

Good stuff. Prob not an all the time listen but really nice throwback.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Apr 03 2024

Bummer it's not available, but what I heard was good.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Apr 10 2024

Lovely, but not an everyday listen.

Bossanova by Pixies
Apr 11 2024

Solid Pixies, but I think I've liked some of their others better.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 12 2024

Little quieter than her later stuff but still good.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 15 2024

Fine, but I'm not a big fan.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Apr 17 2024

Up and down a little as an album, but better than I'd expected.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Apr 18 2024

Like it less than I thought I would.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Apr 22 2024

Great stuff, a little slow for daily listening for me.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
May 02 2024

Fantastic recording and really amazing vocals.

Rio by Duran Duran
May 07 2024

Some classics and some better left unsung.

My Generation by The Who
May 21 2024

Eh, ok, but like, not really rock and not really roll.
