Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 18 2024

Beautiful showcase of what Nick Drake is all about. Nature and time and whimsical guitar plucking with often playful orchestra passages.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jan 23 2024

The best type of country there is. JC is a boss. Love the live aspect. A little swoony for repeat listens, or maybe I’ve already listened a lot, hence the 3 stars.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 24 2024

Really nice. Time of the season is one of the GOATs.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Jan 26 2024

Really cool take on folk/paychedelic. Love his voice.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 29 2024

Perfect. Beautiful. Important.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 30 2024

Solid rock album, wonderful harmonies, nice hearing a little more of the eagles deep cuts as I’ve never listened to the full album.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Jan 31 2024

Salsbury Hill sick. The rest I wasn’t crazy about. A little all over the place.

The Coral by The Coral
Feb 01 2024

Not my cup of tea but I can tell it's well made and could see it being influential in this space.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Feb 06 2024

Cool, not entirely my thing, but can tell how highly influential this band was.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 07 2024

Beautiful album. Loved it a lot.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 12 2024

Classic Foo, and still some of the best rock of the last 30 years, not a mainstay for me however.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 13 2024

Decent Stones, like other stuff from them better but nice to hear some classics.

Woodface by Crowded House
Feb 14 2024

So 90's. Some catchy beach jams here. Solid album. Would give it a 3.5 if I could.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Feb 15 2024

Kinda sounds like what might have influenced a band like Idles

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 16 2024

I dunno. Never heard a single song by these guys.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Feb 20 2024

Ok. Good music. Not for me.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 21 2024

Nice, cathy, cohesive album. Good to hear some of the non-radio hits from REM. Really holds up.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 23 2024

Alright if I was in the mood.

Arrival by ABBA
Feb 26 2024

I mean, it's ABBA

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Feb 27 2024

Pretty fucking flawless album. A little simplistic and corny, at its worst, but at it's best, there's nothing better.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Feb 28 2024

Groovy instrumental stuff, a few familiar tracks surprisingly. I'd give this a 3.5 if I could.

Fun House by The Stooges
Feb 29 2024

Cool album

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 01 2024

Good stuff.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 04 2024

Tons of great songs, love hearing it

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Mar 05 2024

Great stones album, twangy and paired back to focus on them great lyrics and vocals and guitar

Pornography by The Cure
Mar 06 2024

A more rough and tumble kind of Cure, not entirely for me, though nice to hear some early influence for this kind of stuff. 2.5 is more accurate for this.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Mar 07 2024

It's alright.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Mar 08 2024

Performed wonderfully but I probably won't go back, too big band for me, and too many introductions. Really rips sometimes though.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 11 2024

Fav T Swift album hands down.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Mar 12 2024

A nicer sounding, catchier, more balanced Cure record.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Mar 13 2024

Fun. Cool. In your face. 3.5.
