Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band · 1 likes

5/5

Now this is the kinda music ppl in the 70s did drugs to. Captain Beefheart's Wikipedia page is an interesting read, he was an eccentric guy and a musical innovator. You can hear the early beginnings of punk rock mixed in with blues/jazz. It's such a cool and unique sound, I think this opened the door for a lot of experimental stuff coming in the years after. I'm Glad ❤️❤️❤️ Electricity💜💜 Zigzag Wanderer 💜💜

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

it was not bad. I can obviously understand how this is a classic of its time.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

I really love the opener, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. The drum backing is so interesting!! I like the lyrics through this album too, I'm not too familiar with Wilco's music but it's giving that good indie sleeze vibe. Jesus, Etc is the most popular song on this album and I can see why. The instrumentals hit you immediately. Kinda weird hearing Jesus so much in a song tho but that's just me.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

No Compassion is a fucking banger. Tina Weymouth's bass playing is a huge inspo for me ‼️ She knew what each song needed

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

5/5

Wow I fucking love REM. I wasn't expecting it honestly. I could never connect with REM when I tried in the past. But this album is really good. I didn't realize 'Everybody Hurts' is on this album and I got kinda emotional when it came on. It's a song that really does sound so sad, but if you listen to what's being said, its hopeful and comforting. I forgot how important that song was for me so this was a nice reminder :') Helped me reconnect with that part of my past. REM has a huge influence on Thom Yorke' s work and I can absolutely see how, especially with early Radiohead. An album that's better when you read along with the lyrics. P.S. I really liked that they kept the laugh in Sidewinder, that's really cute! :)

A Girl Called Dusty

3/5

This music makes me feel like I'm in a carpeted basement with 30 other people and I'm sipping on a Coors Light. Gigantic has a really cool bassline, I wasn't surprised to learn that the bassist, Kim Deal, wrote it!! Also liked River Euphrates. Only ever listened to a few songs but I appreciate their unique sound.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Joni Mitchell has been on my 'artists I need to listen to' backlog for awhile now. I was glad to see this album on here and she did not disappoint!! Her music is the type that you need to feel. Not something I'd listen to regularly (especially since it's harder to stream cause no Spotify) but I really respect her craft. I love her unique style of singing, Her voice is so fluid and light and strong at the same time. Kinda requires a few listens to really feel it, ngl these are some horse girl tunes. I'm here for it though!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

3/5

Man these are some long songs, I don't mind too much since it was mostly instrumental. I liked strange feeling and sing a song for you.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

Iron Man doesn't seem like an easy song to cover so I really respect that they tried it and it actually sounds pretty decent!!! Some bangers on this album for sure. Step On Me ❤️❤️❤️ Choke 💜💜 Lovefool 💜💜

2/5

This album reminded me of those animal books you could order thru the commercials, zoobooks?? idk about this one dawg...

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

2/5

2 songs.... all Jazz... Objectively I don't think this is bad, I only just recently started dipping my toes into jazz music and I Iike some of it. But this just wasn't it for me. I'm personally biased against songs longer than 7 minutes. There's nothing for me to really grab at, I can see how this would be nice to listen to on hold with your insurance company but I can't do it!!! ⭐⭐1/2

I knew only one song by this artist prior to listening to this album. It's his first album and he's got a very long discography. It's cool to really see how his sound has changed with the times. This was a good album, didn't really wow me. Dead Finks Don't Talk is my favorite off this album
