Bebel Gilberto

4/5

Ah, good memories of seeing her after Tudo (2015?) This one is lovely too.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Totally fine and enjoyable rock, and a gap for me. But I would have had to listen more closely for anything outstanding.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

4/5

Pure Dan Jazz, listened again this morning.

This Year's Model

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

I feel like I know these, but.

Permission to Land

The Darkness

3/5

Just as absurdly fun as it was 20 years ago.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

2/5

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

More than any nostalgia albums so far (will be true for RATM and NiN too), this me is far enough from now me but so embedded I can't really judge. Unsteady grating repetitive so good.

Forever Changes

Love

3/5

One World

John Martyn

3/5

A few redeeming moments, boomer.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

2/5

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

4/5

First time listening to a GD album all the way through? How wonderful, familiar and varied, vinyl sides well anchored in richer songs at top and bottom, Box of Rain, Ripple, and Trucking.

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

Some hits! Still looking out for my favorite Bowie.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

3/5

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

3/5

Truly industrial punk I don't understand, but in the right mood this would work.

Timeless

Goldie

2/5

The good parts were good (and not DnB), and I suppose early for that. Maybe I've only heard this before by the good bits being sampled since.

Horses

Patti Smith

2/5

Not for me.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

I mean. Tommy. I feel like this album has always been with me, of course it's tied up with first arcade memories, and first rock opera memories. Maybe that's all a bit surface; this has got everything.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

I recall glancing off this when it came out, too weird, but turns out in just the strange direction I went. Still weird esp in the middle, but also excellent.

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

2/5

Huh. I listened.

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

Black Sabbath

2/5

Chill.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Title track is great.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

Jesus. To think my parents (who never would have listened to this, and while I know most of it deeply, probably a first full listen for me now) would only think this is glorifying the violence and misogyny. How long before The Wire, before this week and the week before. Glorious funky tracks.

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

3/5

Weird and old enough to be fun. J5 meets The Phenomenauts? Not true enough to it's conceit to earn a Sun Ra comparison except in lack.

Microshift

Hookworms

4/5

This was unbelievably cool

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

3/5

Yazz Floot. I think it’s safe to say that these types of classic jazz standard albums are important to almost no one. Anywhooo, the year is 1963 and we’re all hanging out in our family’s basement bar with our naugahyde furniture. Throw on the Jazz Samba album and let get this orgy rolling.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

4/5

Another "hey, how did I not listen to this then?" good rock, young love, angry at the man. John Butler Trio in the same race.

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

2/5

Reminds me of horny teenage 90s Country.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Apparently the Stones asked M. C. Escher to design the cover for Let It Bleed but he declined. That would have pushed this to a 5. This album is in the sweet spot of The Rolling Stones’ best era of recording 1968-1972.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

So much nostalgia here. I remember seeing the music video for Tonight Tonight, done in the trip to the moon fashion, and being blown away. It was nice to give this a full listen because for years I have cherry picked the hits from it. And there are alot of hits.

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

4/5

All up my alley but new to me. Ethereal introspective lyrics, naturalistic samples and drones over rhythmic guitar. Heck yeah.

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Smooooth.

Pink Flag

Wire

3/5

What happens when punk gets soft? Pretty easy listening.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

2/5

So yes, but also no, phobic and raunch.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Mostly great stuff, but never my first Stones pick.

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

2/5

The synth-horns almost save this but it's all played so straight.

Cross

Justice

3/5

Really just the one great track DANCE.

Peter Gabriel

2/5

Os Mutantes

4/5

When I moved to Chicago the MCA had an exhibit on Tropicalia and these bright moons are the thing that's always stuck in my head from it.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Yeah, you love your car.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

4/5

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

4/5

Great encore cast and banjo.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

4/5

Slaps.

1989

Taylor Swift

3/5

Definitely not my favorite swift.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

2/5

Ah, sweet.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

2/5

"Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time"

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

5/5

New to me, giants. By the time we get to "Help Me Somebody" or "Moonlight in Glory" this is just majestically refined precursors to everything I love, entirely out of time.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

2/5

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

I think my late teen reaction to this was "blah blah jazz snooze"

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

First LP Dan sent us down here? Yes please.
