Such a fun listen. Not every song is perfect, but there are enough great ones for this album to be 5 stars for me. Arguably Elton’s peak vocals.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 11 2024

Little all over the place for me.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jan 12 2024

This album feels like such an early grunge knock-off. The only reason it’s not a 1 star is because of the small hints at originality towards the end of the album.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Jan 15 2024

Sounds like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin had a baby.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jan 16 2024

The instrumentals pair perfectly with Joplin’s powerful voice. There are lots of subtle genre infusions on this album, and I did not expect that. The authenticity and raw power make this a fun listen.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Jan 18 2024

Beautiful jazz and funk instrumentals paired with infrequent but quality vocals. There is a lot of music like this from this era, but I don’t care. The execution is worthy of high praise.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 19 2024

Really interesting but need more time with it.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 23 2024

Super interesting. There’s a lot going and it all works. I think this is one I need more time with to decide if it’s maybe 5 stars.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Feb 06 2024

I just love Morrisey’s voice so much. It’s so unique. I could just leave this album on all day.
