In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly

Everyone needs some stoner rock sometimes. A 17 minute title track on a 36 minute album? [chef's kiss] Perfection.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jan 11 2024

IIRC Red Book audio spec is 72 minutes for a Compact Disc. They nearly filled a compact disc with 70 minutes of mediocre music. That's the best thing I can say.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Jan 15 2024

Everyone needs some stoner rock sometimes. A 17 minute title track on a 36 minute album? [chef's kiss] Perfection.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 16 2024

I'm not even going to dignify this with listening to it.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jan 17 2024

Better than I expected from a screeching hippy addict.

Jan 18 2024

Over 30 minutes in the first two tracks makes me think maybe we don't need any more tracks. But then I remember this is just ambience for 90s Vampire Sex Raves™, which is totally my jam.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jan 20 2024

Morrissey has like, two notes. Is that even singing? At least it's a relatively short album at just under 40 minutes.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jan 22 2024

Not bad to have on in the background, but the best part was the random songs Spotify played after this album in the same genre.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jan 23 2024

If you think ketchup is "a little spicy" and enjoy contributing to public radio, I've got an album for you.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 27 2024

There are only a few bands I can listen to an entire album and not get bored with it. Thin Lizzy is not one of those bands.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 28 2024

A cultural touchstone. You don't have to like it, but you do have to know what it is.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jan 29 2024

It's like the worst parts of the Renaissance Festival in audio form.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 30 2024

I liked "Second Hand News" better when I thought he was singing, "I'm just sittin' here nude." Another cultural touchstone. You don't have to like it, but you have to be aware of it.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jan 31 2024

The vibrato was a bit over the top, but I heard bits and pieces that reminded me of a bunch of bands and songs years (sometimes decades) before they were created. I had to remind myself several times that this album was from 1972! I'm they had a pretty big influence on other artists.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 01 2024

Not for me.
