Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 10 2024

Great music to chill while I procrastinated work (just for a few minutes :-)

The Clash by The Clash
Jan 11 2024

Cool album, I love the Clash but tend to gravitate to their London Calling and later stuff. I also think this album sounds more punk than their later stuff which has a lot of different sounds (but with a punk attitude)

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jan 12 2024

You never know what you will get with live albums, as the recording varies a lot (especially older gigs) but this sounds reasonably good. The Who were at their top and Keith Moon's drumming is even better live. Roger Daltrey's voice sounds way better than when I saw him a couple of years ago. They would put out more hits after this, and there are parts where it drags on a bit (I wonder if it is just the extended version I am listening to?) but I like this!

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 13 2024

Smooth and nice, but almost too nice it annoyed me, Homeward Bound is pretty get but most of the rest is forgettable

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 14 2024

Shirley Mason is bad ass, but I will still stick to the couple of 90s classics here (Happy When it Rains and Stupid Girl)

Jan 15 2024

I'll be honest, I came back to this one just to not miss a day expecting to really dislike it, and honestly, it didn't disappoint in the fact that I did if fact hate it! (it's not my style), I'll give it 2 starts for its consistency according to my expectations

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 16 2024

Nice album, Fleetwood Mac aren't as big in Brazil as here, so I don't know a lot (except for Dreams playing at my dentist's office) so nice to listen to some more stuff, but not their best I'd say :)

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jan 17 2024

Some good stuff but not great, nice to listen to a full album by him, but wouldn't be listening to it much again!

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 18 2024

Started pretty good with some great songs and real classic bangers, but then it went all mehhhhh. Will still listen to the hits, but not sure of the whole album

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jan 19 2024

Good listening and some great different beats! Love the exploration and had never really listened to this whole album

Jan 20 2024

I've listened to this album so many times!!! Though it's been a while, I remember it Starlight coming on the radio and I was like.... this is like a cleaner Radiohead or something like that? I got the album, the cover is awesome and is by Storm Thorgerson who, together with a buddy at Hipgnosis, did a lot of the Pink Floyd covers and basically hundreds of well known covers (there is a great documentary on Netflix called Squaring the Circle: The Story of Hipgnosis about them, apparently Storm was an asshole! ha). Me and my older brother used to love listening to this hole album, but we'd listen Take a Bow (the first song) on repeat a lot. We'd pay the toll past our place just to keep shouting with it lol. Fun fact, while traveling for work in Chile I ran into their drummer at the hotel as they were playing there. I asked them to play Take a Bow, he laughed and... didn't play it, giving 4 star because of that

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jan 21 2024

Ryan Adams' suffers from a problem of actually putting out too much music... (just last December he put out FOUR ALBUMS....) which could be good, but feels like some of it end up lacking a filter. (the other problem is his name resembling to much of bRyan Adams...) This album has that feeling, some really cool songs like New York, New York and When The Starts Go Blue, and a lot of songs that feel a bit the same. I do like a bunch of his stuff, but sometimes the history around him annoys me (his relationship with Phoebe Bridgers and the fact that the Strokes hate him for turning their guitar player into a junkie) My funny story with him is that I actually saw him live just as I moved to SF Bay, at the Berkeley Greek Theater. I actually saw Steve Wozniak there, and thought about taking a picture, but I felt a bit embarrassed as I had a Samsung phone... (fwiw, I switched for an iPhone last month)

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 22 2024

Mannish Boy makes this album deserve a 5! I have lost the number of times I've seen live bands of varying degrees of ability playing this song from Brazil to New Orleans and it's always been great. A lot of great blues after that, would definitely listen to this from time to time.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 23 2024

The 2 great songs in this album are great (This Will Be Our Year and Time of The Season), and I love the backing vocals and hearing them from time to time... otherwise though it is pretty forgetable

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jan 24 2024

Great album, it had been a while since I listened to all of it! IT was nice paying attention to all the instruments (and empty spaces between them)

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jan 25 2024

I love David Bowie, and I remember when this came out really being excited to listen to it because it was kind of a surprise, but then hating it, and why it was so dark. He died a couple of days later if I am not wrong and then it kind of made sense, I don't think I ever listened to it again after that, and not my favorite stuff of him, but you can almost feel like he knew wasn't going to be around for long...

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 26 2024

Sorry haters, this is great! Over the top, motorcycle riding, leather pants, screaming British Metal... or NWOBHM (New wave of British heavy metal). Though I am not the biggest Judas fan I love listening to some of their classics from time to time. One of my favorite things when going to classic rock/metal bars younger was seeing the pseudo-macho-sexist metalheads finding out that one of their biggest idols was gay, Rob Halford was always super proud and had some pretty explicit lyrics (ie. Turbo Lover), \o/

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 28 2024

5 stars before even listening :-) Ok ok, there are some lows, but the highs, Little Wing, Castles Made of Sand, Bold as Love are just fenomenal

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 29 2024

I had never heard any of his albums, but listened out of curiosity, just as he shows up on another controversy...

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 30 2024

A couple of very good ones, but a lot of forgeteable and similar stuff

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Feb 08 2024

Bangers and then not so bangers, nice
