Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Jan 17 2024

Pretty chill blues. I can see how this could have been a big deal back in 1963. Also jazzy, but still mellow all the way through.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 18 2024

Yep, no woman no cry would definitely have made a big impact, although the version in this one is considerably faster than the one that ended up sticking around. I think that other (slower) one is a live version? Other than that, 4 songs in and all sounds pretty classic Marley. Yep, overall about what I expected going in. Nothing shocking, but reggae has never been my thing unless I'm specifically in the mood for it. 3/5

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jan 19 2024

2 songs in: Digging this way more than the 1 or 2 qotsa songs that are always on the radio. Really do NOT like the repeated riff throughout 80% of “You Would Know”, but the ending of it was pretty good and catchy. I like The Bronze too. Mexicola is solid, but goes on too long. Can’t quit me baby is excellent.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 22 2024

Unfortunately, I still don't "get" David Bowie :/ I wish I did. 2/5

Document by R.E.M.
Jan 23 2024

Exhuming McCarthy is a catchy one I’ve never heard before. Ah, this album has End Of The World and The One I Love on it. Yep, those are pretty iconic. I'm completely sick of them, but this album makes sense to me. Definitely enjoying all the rest of their songs on here that never became hits. 3/5

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jan 24 2024

A bit too weird and avant garde for my tastes brooke would probably love it. Nothing wrong with it per se, but I can't ever imagine myself relistening to this for fun so probably 2/5

Technique by New Order
Jan 25 2024

Totally digging this one! Brand new to me too. As far as 80s albums go, which I tend not to like, I’mfinding this one to be very enjoyable. Very solid entry in a genre I don’t really like… I guess that probably comes out to a 4/5 then.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 29 2024

This is the quintessential Creedence album for me. 5/5

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 30 2024

I liked guest list. Not sure why this was influential… maybe the social commentary? Spunky is very depressing. Too depressing for me to ever go out of my way to listen to again.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Feb 01 2024

Honestly, this album just kinda sucks. 1/5

Closer by Joy Division
Feb 02 2024

Nope. 1/5.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 05 2024

Aw hell yeah. This is one of the GOATs. 5/5

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Feb 06 2024

Very beautiful music. Not something I really ever see myself wanting to listen to more, but so far I'm surprised by the variety of the songs despite simultaneously all sounding exactly the same. Not my cup of tea, but I can respect it. 3/5.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Feb 07 2024

“Rock and roll woman” freakin slaps. Big fan of “broken arrow” as well. 4.5/5

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Feb 09 2024

Pretty relaxing and good background

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 12 2024

I mean. I can absolutely understand why he was a big deal. This isn't really my favorite genre either and there were several songs I strongly disliked, but there were some undeniably solid tracks as well. 3/5

Feb 13 2024

This is one of those excellent artists I feel like I've heard OF, but never heard. Very captivating

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 19 2024

I loved playing maps I’m rockband back in the day. Really fun to hear their full album

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
