Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast
Jan 11 2024

More soul, funk, and jazz than I expected. Recognizable samples. I’m embarrassed I only knew a couple of the tracks.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 12 2024

Kinda smoooth jazzish. Lots of horns. Would sound good in an elevator or waiting room.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jan 15 2024

Hoping good music. Old timey but still great.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jan 16 2024

Fair to middling. A couple hopping songs, a couple I recognized, mostly background noise. Bang a gong!

Green by R.E.M.
Jan 17 2024

I didn’t love this album when it came out, and I still don’t. A couple of tracks stick.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Jan 19 2024

This music always resonates with me. I love Adam Ant on all of good band configurations. This isn’t his best album in my mind, but damn good.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jan 22 2024

I gave this one a couple of listens and enjoyed it. The kind of music you can put on in the background and every now and then it sucks you back in.

Ramones by Ramones
Jan 25 2024

I mean, it’s the ramones. Iconic. Awesome.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 29 2024

Kinda heavy metal. Not my music.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jan 30 2024

Oh yeah, Iggy! Killer album. Likely a top 5 album for me.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Feb 01 2024

Yeah, okay. Nice background music.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 02 2024

Not so much my thing. I wanted to like it. A track or 2 hooked.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Feb 05 2024

The roots of rock and roll. Whatever. Elvis sings with emotion that is rare. I love listening.

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 06 2024

Can’t argue with Carole King. Enjoyed

So by Peter Gabriel
Feb 07 2024

‘Twas my high school girlfriend’s favorite artist. Lots of play time.

xx by The xx

Story telling

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 29 2024

Good listen.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
