Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 08 2024

Son of a Preacher Man was amazing. The rest were nice but not my cup of tea.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jan 09 2024
At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jan 10 2024

These lyrics are hilarious. And what a \"storyteller's voice!\" This is brilliant.

Homework by Daft Punk
Jan 14 2024

OMG - I am LOVING this! It's taking me straight back to my college days.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 17 2024

I've been a fan for a while but have never listened to a whole album of his. That was a lot to take all at once.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jan 18 2024

Lots of classics. Took me back.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 21 2024

Not for me.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 22 2024

This dude desperately wants to be Johnny Cash and he's failing at it. I know this was a highly acclaimed album but....it feels self-indulgent and derivative. Meh.

Be by Common
Jan 23 2024

What an opening! So far, I'm really digging this. The middle - very strong. Wow. What a great album. So smooth, such a mood - this is amazing.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 24 2024

Very cool modern jazz. Not at all what I was expecting. Great record.

Melodrama by Lorde
Jan 25 2024

Loved every song. Really really great album.

Jan 28 2024

Opening track seemed promising but it all quickly got boring and repetitive. As background music, it's ok but there's nothing special here.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jan 29 2024

3 hours 14 minutes??? Good gravy. This is all lovely but that's A LOT of anyone to listen to.

What the fuck am I listening to? Also, this is not an album by D.O.A. as I originally thought, it's by Throbbing Gristle. Weird, experimental, \"art\" I guess? I'm sure this has a place in music history but it's not what I would call \"music.\"

Feb 01 2024

Like a musical version of that Throbbing Gristle noise we listened to yesterday. I can definitely see the evolution.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 02 2024

I prefer Please but this is also a great album.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Feb 03 2024

Every single one is a classic. Great stuff.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Feb 04 2024

I see its place in music history now thanks to this project. Somewhere between Throbbing Gristle and Fatboy Slim. It's Daft Punk before they came around and refind the sound.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Feb 07 2024

Easy listening is not my thing but this was benign enough.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Feb 08 2024

It's a classic for a reason. The ultimate in catchy, no-skip record albums.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Feb 09 2024

I didn't expect to like this but it's really great!
