At Newport 1960
Muddy WatersIt’s not what I would usually choose to listen to, but was nice background music for work. He walked so Stevie Ray Vaughan could run!

I really liked this one! I could see myself listening to it again for sure.
Super short - less than 30 mins. I was surprised I only knew 2 songs. Comforting and reminds me of my parents.
I can’t really see myself listening to this again, but suspicious minds and in the ghetto were bops.
It made me want to dance! But all in all I’m probably not adding it to my rotation.
I liked it a lot more than I thought I was going to! Ramble on and Living Loving Maid were my favorites!
It felt weird and kinda experimental but I really liked it!
The album started off on, but the the last 2/3 of it all started to sound the same to me. Not really my jam, but people who are into harder music might like it.
So theatrical though very macabre. I love an album that tells a story, and this one does it very well - poor Caroline. Even if it is much darker than what I would usually listen to, there is no denying the artfulness.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will be adding it to my rotation!
Is it even legal for there to be so many bangers on one album? I had never listened to this one front to back before, but I was surprised by how many I already knew!
DNF. I wouldn’t be mad if it was on in the background, but I had a very hard time purposefully listening to it.
Overall this album made me feel kinda anxious when listening to it, which feels like it might be the point. But I was not a huge fan. I did like Deep Waters though!
Fuck Kanye
I went into it thinking I wouldn’t be that into it, but there were some bangers, for sure. There are a few songs that I could see myself listening to more often

Easy listening for sure! Started my morning off in a great mood. Will definitely put this on again for some background music when working.
Five star album for sure. This is a storytelling masterpiece. It truly transported me to a different place and put me in someone else’s shoes.
Pretty solid classic rock. The whole thing felt like one big jam sesh. I really liked the story behind smoke on the water, as it made the song even more enjoyable!
Solid Friday vibes, even for a girl who usually isn’t a huge fan of disco.
This made me want to go go Memphis and get some BBQ
I kept listening thinking it was gonna grow on me, but it never happened.
Usually I’m not a fan of guitar heavy music, but this was so groovy that it was hard not to enjoy it as background music. Fave song was Have You Ever Been (To Electric Lady Land).
I love the 1970’s folk/singer-songwriter genre! I had never really listened to Neil Young, but I’m not surprised that I loved it. I think Newell’s sentiment of “it makes me nostalgic for a time when I wasn’t even alive” sums this up perfectly! My favorite song was probably Don’t Let It Bring You Down.
This album started super strong for me, but got boring after the first few songs, to the point where I almost DNF-ed it. Supervixen and queer were my favorites, and I would go back and listen to those two again, but not the rest of the album.
Banger of an album. Fun fact- The Beach Boys was my first concert. I was 5 years old.
I liked this way more than I thought I would. Could see turning this on when I’m angry or angsty and the screaming would just feel right. I was super impressed by the drumming and guitar.
This is absolutely music for depressed cowboys. I would listen to this again and again.
This is honestly such a masterpiece. I really gave this album my full attention and it did not disappoint. I feel like I could listen to this album 100 more times and still hear new things Each time. My favorite songs were Us and Them, Money, and Time (even though it made me cry harder than I would like to admit).
Not a fan.
Very sexy and sultry. I definitely liked it more than Third.
A great option for when I’m feeling dark and moody!
Fine to have on in the background, but not something I’m going to usually put on.
Easy listening, feel good music that made me forget all my worries for approx. 38 minutes!
I had only heard the title track, but I really liked this album! I especially loved how Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five tied back to the beginning.
What a fun album! Janis Joplin’s voice is just perfect.
I’m not ever going to choose to put this on, but I wouldn’t be upset if it was background music.
I wanted to like this more than I did. The songs that I knew still slapped (Like a Rolling Stone, Mr. Tambourine Man, Just Like a Woman). But the rest didn’t stand out to me.
The perfect, pretty, mellow album. Reminds me of my childhood. This album lets me live out all my carefree flower child dreams. Favorites are Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall, The 59th St Bridge Song, and Homeward Bound.
Straight bangers!
I thought I was going to hate this more than I did. The accents were sometimes hard to listen to, but there were a couple songs I kinda liked.
I felt like most of these songs sounded the exact same. If I’m feeling angsty, a couple of these songs might hit, but I don’t have much desire to listen to the rest of that album again. Enter Sandman was my fave.
A disco cover of Pink Floyd was the last thing I expected to be on here. This was such a fun album, I really enjoyed it! Take Your Mamma & Lovers in the Backseat stick out to me.
This is a classic don’t judge a book by its cover situation. From listening to Fine Time, I really thought that I was going to DNF this one. But then All The Way and Love Less came on and I actually really loved them! Run is also a good one! There were a few too many electronica songs for me to rate it more than a 3. The songs that i liked, I REALLY liked. But the songs that I didn’t like, I hated.
Such a fun album. It put me in a great mood on this snowy day.
This album just feels so simple compared to what we listen to now.
I had to DNF it about halfway through. It was just too painful.
I did like their use of samples, but their overall sounds isn’t something I would usually seek out. Still enjoyable!
This album is hit after hit for me. Human Nature was my favorite.
I very much enjoyed this album! Teach Your Children was my favorite song.
I liked Sunday Morning a lot, but was not a fan of most of the songs after that.
I got to Overkill and just couldn’t do it anymore. There was so much left after that. DNF
Very nice to listen to, though it’s not what I would usually listen to. Makes me want to learn Spanish!
I surprisingly liked this album way more that I thought I would. I will definitely reach for this when I am in a classic rock mood. Felt like a party!
Listened while cooking and it was pretty good background music.
Very enjoyable!!
I think this type of jazz is just not my thing. I didn’t really even find it enjoyable as background music. I didn’t absolutely hate it, but it just really wasn't it for me.
Queen never disappoints! This album was a bit more experimental but still great!
Solid album. Stand is my fave song: it reminds me of riding in the car with my dad.
This album makes me want to put on a pair of leg warmers.
Great Friday vibes that have me feeling empowered and independent this AM!
So boring!
First thoughts- this album is a little all over the place. I wasn’t a huge fan the first time around, but I feel like I would like it more with each additional listen. Giving it a 3, but it has potential to be a 4 with more listens.
This album is WIERD! But I liked it.
I got 9 songs in before I just couldn’t do it anymore. I absolutely hated this. Somehow it’s both super boring and also very irritating at the same time. I’m honestly surprised I was able to stick with it for that many. And why is it so damn long?
A little too experimental/weird for me.
This album is the best!! It put me in such a good mood, and there are so many bangers on it. Made me feel like I was chilling on the beach mid-summer with absolutely no care in the world!
This album was a little boring. Usually I like mellow music, but this one just really didn’t stand out to me. Fruit trees was ok.
I’m just not into jazz, no matter how much this challenge will try to make me be into it. Just not my thing
Dnf
Nothing special.
My first time listening to a Prince album all the way through. I can see myself listening to Purple Rain, When Dove’s Cry, and Let’s Go Crazy again.
