Killing Joke by Killing Joke

Very techno and seemingly punk. Rough, gritty, grinding and monotonous at times.

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 22 2024

This is a pretty solid album. Had not listened to it for awhile.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 23 2024

Not a fan of heavy metal. Some songs better than others-those were not too bad. Definitely has that driving beat to most songs.

The Score by Fugees
Jan 24 2024

At times the rapping seems really repetitive(same rhythms) which wears me out a bit with so much of it on the album. Singing is great and Lauryn slays(no surprise).

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jan 25 2024

There are some songs I like on this album but I do find that constant distorted guitar a bit wearing by the end of the album. A bit average overall.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 26 2024

This was a really nice listen. Bob might not have the prettiest voice but his wordsmithing is brilliant.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jan 27 2024

Great live album. Infectious energy!

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jan 27 2024

I had never heard this album. Started out seemingly grunge like alternative but smoothed out after that. I liked the vibe

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jan 28 2024

I have never heard this album before. Synthed up sounds including the organ. Grungy at times. Definitely alternative. Some songs hit better than others.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 29 2024

I had not listened to this album before. It was a bit of a challenge.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 31 2024

Great jamming. Nice improv in playing-looser live and line that. Had not heard this entire album before.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Feb 01 2024

I had never heard of these artists or this album but I do like venturing into international music. It could be a bit repetitive at times but I did enjoy it. Nice cultural experience.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Feb 02 2024

I had never heard of this group or album. Was dreading it with the punk notation in genre. Was pleasantly surprised with their music. A pretty good listen.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Feb 03 2024

I know this album! Really like it. Classic Elvis Costello!

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Feb 04 2024

A bit funky and unique. Seems really experimental. Very different sound for the time.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Feb 05 2024

Have not heard anything like this. Not really digging it at all. Very dark, loud and macabre.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Feb 07 2024

I had never heard of this group or this album. Pleasantly surprised. Nice vibe. Repetitive but that is not atypical with electronic music so not unexpected. Great background music.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Feb 08 2024

Gritty with quite a bit of energy. Definitely has that garage band vibe. A bit over the top at times.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Feb 09 2024

I have always been an EBTG fan. Happy to see something I knew and had listened to. This album was quite a departure from their prior ones but I loved it. I generally like it when artists try new things.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Feb 10 2024

Energetic. Like What’s the Stiry Morning Glory better

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 11 2024

Classic Johnny Cash. Great listen!

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Feb 13 2024

Had not heard this album or artist before. Nice album.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Feb 14 2024

Nice listen. Had a gamut of styles-smooth, bouncy, edgy.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Feb 15 2024

Very techno and seemingly punk. Rough, gritty, grinding and monotonous at times.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Feb 16 2024

A bit folksy. Upbeat. Never heard of group or album. Felt a bit monochromatic overall.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Feb 18 2024

Not sure how I feel about this one. Don’t love it but don’t hate it either.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Feb 19 2024

Middle better than beginning and end. I found it kind of meh. Not my cup of tea.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Feb 21 2024

I am not a huge rap fan and was not familiar with this particular album. There are some nice songs but overall felt too long.

Forever Changes by Love
Feb 22 2024

Had never heard this of album or group. Definitely has a 60’s vibe to it. Like the horns, some of the orchestrations and guitar. Overall not too bad.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Feb 23 2024

I love The Who. Had not heard this specific live album. A little long for listening and some songs ok. Still think they are good live though.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Feb 24 2024

Fats is a legend and his music is great. Enjoyed listening to this.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 25 2024

This album is in my top 20 of all time. Classic!

Smash by The Offspring
Feb 26 2024

Never heard of the band and never listened to this band before. Has more of a pop edge to it. Not a bad listen.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 28 2024

I like the Flaming Lips. Nice little diversion-pretty middle of the road.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Feb 29 2024

I like electronic music. However, this album was way too long and seemed quite monotonous in many places. Added sound effects/voices really did not add much to this as they were too repetitive(grated on my nerves to hear over and over)

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Mar 01 2024

Not what I consider typical hip-hop/rap. Pretty smooth listen-melodic and flowing nice. Would listen to it again.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Mar 02 2024

Yes, please!!! Full of energy. New wave vibing. Ear candy for me today!!!

Guero by Beck
Mar 03 2024

Eclectic mix of hip hop, slide guitar and perhaps some South American rhythm. Interesting to listen to.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Mar 04 2024

Total 80’s vibe. Overall ok.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 05 2024

Punched me in the face to start. 1st part was not really my cup of tea even after the initial punch. Messiah Ward was a nice break there. 2nd part much better. Overall a long listen. Consider this ok-not supreme or terrible.

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 07 2024

Love ABBA and their ear candy.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Mar 08 2024

Celtic. Folk. Punk. Interesting combination leading to some great music and storytelling. I was leery when I read the title but actually enjoyed.

War by U2
Mar 09 2024

One of their best! Powerful music and lyrics.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Mar 10 2024

Album of covers so not really feeling this is on par with later albums. Good energy

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Mar 11 2024

Classic 70’s rock. Forceful energy.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 12 2024

Not a hip hop/rap fan. Don’t hate it but don’t love it either.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Mar 13 2024

Not a bad album. Just ok.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Mar 15 2024

Absolutely hated this album. Lyrics nonsensical and annoying

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Mar 17 2024

Totally 80’s new wave vibe pop music. Energetic and upbeat. Nice on the ears!!!

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Mar 18 2024

This was a really nice album. I love exploring new international music.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Mar 19 2024

Nope. Not a fan of this one.

Real Life by Magazine
Mar 20 2024

Techno new wave vs post punk. It was ok but not exceptional.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Mar 21 2024

Poppy and punk mixed together. Energetic and a bit fun.
