Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jan 08 2024

Surprisingly enjoyed this, reminds me of my grandpa. Wanna drive to this

Jan 10 2024

Love the live album. God you can feel his charisma and energy and the crowd's excitement. So many fantastic songs on this album, a lot more I'd already heard than I realized. What a legend

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 11 2024

Not the biggest new wave fan but this album could maybe change that.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jan 12 2024

I normally don't like 80's pop and synth-y stuff, but this album surprised me. Need to rewatch some John Hughes films. Did a bit of googling after hearing When You Were Mine and found out she's a huge LGBTQ advocate so that's dope. Go women!

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jan 13 2024

Grew up listening to What's the Story (Morning Glory) on cassette and I liked how this album had less of a poppy acoustic feel and more rock like the Kinks ig? So British. I love it lol

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jan 15 2024

I love folk and this is no exception. Surprised I'd never heard of him. I adore the ability of a good folk song to grab and hold your attention with a heartfelt story, with such stripped down instrumentals. The guitar on this album is gorgeous though too.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 16 2024

Really cool to hear some female fronted punk. Haven't heard them before but it was neat learning about how foundational they were to post-punk. Not something I'd probably put on myself, but I enjoyed it although it definitely sounds like the 80s.

25 by Adele
Jan 18 2024

what a beautiful album. not my favorite musically but her ability to tell a story and convey yearning and heartbreak is UGH. love

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 20 2024

Holy fuck. How have I never heard this before??? Phenomenal and will be listening on repeat, but it's 5 AM and I haven't slept so that's as detailed as this review is getting. very tom petty vibes traveling wilburys but maybe its the other way around. Either way Neil Young Ate here

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 21 2024

Didn't like this so much at first but by the end I was so caught up in it. Kind of reminds of of Jason Molina and Songs: Ohio but more rock and less folk. Loved it.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jan 22 2024

Haven't listened to a lot of rap but would like to learn more, really enjoyed this and will be exploring east coast rap more for sure

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 23 2024

Completely and totally obsessed. Jeff Buckley knows me and every heartbreak I've ever had, down to my core. Genuinely his grasp of anger and intimacy and devotion and grief is stunning and musically it's so rich, his vocals are incredible. Nothing but praise.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jan 24 2024

Kinda reminded me at times of Fiona Apple, or on the folksier side of Karen Dalton, at least vocal wise. Knew when to be soft and when to have some edge and I enjoyed the electronica indie bits woven in. I liked it:)

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jan 25 2024

So good. Sweet Thing is such a good song. This album is just such a pleasure to listen to amd easy to get lost in, feels like early summer

Jan 26 2024

God I love his voice. Covers and originals he has such a way of taking a song and making it his own, of just capturing you. Could listen to this on repeat

Homework by Daft Punk
Jan 27 2024

Not super familiar with this genre so I'm not gonna have anything super intellectual to say about this album, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would LOVE to party to this but it was also perfect for deep cleaning my apartment. Honestly makes me want to get more into EDM.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 29 2024

Liked this way more than JuJu, love how upbeat it is and I like her vocals on this. Can absolutely see how it was hugely influential to post punk. Would put this on of my own volition for sure

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jan 30 2024

Heartbreaking, beautiful, upbeat but slow in the right spots. Gut wrenching grief and drowning it with sex and booze. Unmatched. This album carried me through some of the worst heartbreak of my life. Love her and this album through and through

Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 31 2024

Really wish half stars existed on here so I could give this a 2.5 instead of 2. I'm rating these subjectively tho and not based on historical significance and as bad of a music fan it makes me I really did not like this album. I get the appeal and sometimes I like ambiance but here it just wasn't for me. The majority of the album with the exception of Heroes wasn't for me. Will relisten some and try to adjust my tastes but I don't think it's gonna happen.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Feb 03 2024

I haven't listened to a lot of jazz before but I really loved this. So smooth and upbeat, really pleasant and interesting but easy to just daydream or work to. The backstory is neat and you can really feel the synergy between all the players

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Feb 04 2024

Was it probably way longer than necessary? Yeah. Was it repetitive at times? Also yeah. That being said, it has a mid 2000's internet vibe and it was really good to put on in the background to get into a flow. Cleaned a bunch of my apartment and hardly even noticed the time. I enjoyed it but also I am not listening to the last 40 minutes because it's giving me a headache.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 05 2024

eh just not rlly a fan. never rlly liked prog stuff and the piano and the lyrics just weren't it for me

The Next Day by David Bowie
Feb 06 2024

Really enjoyed this but it definitely doesn't sound like it came out in 2013 lol

Feb 07 2024

Was groovy to put on while I cleaned and did self care but idk that I'd actually put it on to f*ck someone lmao

Arular by M.I.A.
Feb 08 2024

Feel like I need to give this one a few more listens. Love the political lyrics. Her voice is so interesting and it definitely sounds like the early 2000s, musically it's interesting but not my favorite. I think if I were at the club and had heard it before though it'd fuck it up

American Pie by Don McLean
Feb 09 2024

So many sentimental songs on this album, he touches on so many emotional notes in a tender way. Sonically not my favorite folky music but still enjoyed. Definitely a historic album

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 10 2024

Loved this so much. Felt like summer time doing something crazy with friends. Janis Joplin is so damn cool
