Endtroducing.....
DJ Shadow
I wasn't aware of this when I started listening to this today, but my first exposure to DJ Shadow was when I was a teen watching adult swim back in the early 2000's. This album has sent me on a nostalgia trip that I wasn't expecting.
Excellent record, it will be added to regular rotation, and I'm adding it to my vinyl list.

Velvet Underground are protopunk legends . I respect them, I can hear and see their influence on punk and other modern music. I have personally always had a problem listening to a whole VU album all the way through, I like everything on the albums, but they feel like a slog everytime and I'm not sure why.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols
I will never forget the first time I heard this album though. My Dad was taking me to my first "real" festival concert and on the way we stopped in a record store. He bought Nevermind the Bullocks on cassette and said to me "I'm buying this because I think you might like this" we listened to it on the way to the show and it was such a great experience! It blew my little 10 year old mind.

Buffalo Springfield
This was a fairly short album, only 34 minutes. I haven't really heard anything from Buffalo Springfield, except the songs they use in Vietnam movies, so I was expecting that vibe when this album popped up.
This album is psychedelic, blues, country rock, it's alright. Others have done this way better and other have done this way worse, so I'd stick this right in the middle.

Quiet Life
Japan
I had never heard of this band before so this was a completely new group to me. Japan has a lot of musical elements I love, really nice synth, some sexy sax thrown around, haunting guitars, croonerish vocals, some serious "bowieisms", yet, I just could not get into this album and I can't really figure out why. I will be checking out more of Japan's work, because even though this album felt, "slow", or something, I still really enjoyed it. I'm going to have to re-listen to this, let it sink in more.
*It's crazy to me that this album came out in 1979, when the track Quiet Life sounds like 1985.

U2
First though was, I think Eno is trying to make a "Bowie" sounding album, but it falls completely flat with U2. This was a slog to get through, this album is just boring from start to finish.
When I read the wiki it said it was a darker sound, I disagree, this album is definitely more poppy than any of their previous albums, but, if you want to listen to a "darker" U2 sound, listen to the War album.

While listening I just thought to myself, this MUST be close to the last song.... I'm on song four. This drum solo has been going on for what feels like 30 minutes, it's impressive, and I know the other band members are probably off stage taking a short breather during that, but damn, what is happening!
Oh... here's the rest of the band! Drummer still going, drummers never get a break!

No matter how many times I listen to Zeppelin I just hate it. What the hell is Moby Dick? OK drums for what felt like 45 minutes, odd choice Zep, but in 1969 it was probably cool?
I'm 100% convinced at this point that Zeppelin is a satirical comedy band. All their songs are about LOTR, jizz, or how LOTR makes them jizz, and I can't take the vocals seriously, it's pure comedy.

Born To Run
Bruce Springsteen
I think with Springsteen you have to have been there when this came out or something, because I do not get the appeal of Springsteen's song writing. The way he cobbles together lyrics makes it feel like a jumbled mess to me, and his vocals make him sound confused 90% of the time. I found myself not at all invested in his stories but instead asking myself if ol Bruce even knows what he is rambling about. Did he just get lost in an ally one day and then he came up with this album? That could be, because I'm not getting any serious emotional weight behind these lyrics.
This album's sound, musically, is as if Springsteen said "ok everyone just solo however you want and I'll mumble these lyrics over it". And they all said "great idea". I can't imagine the nightmare of mixing this in the studio also. It's a mess.

Pretty good album, very chill way to start the day. "I bet Peter would be proud of the current state of legalization of weed, not only in the USA but across the world." I thought to myself as I hit my oil pen that I bought legally from a store for 30 bucks.
I own this album and Peter Tosh's 1987 album "No Nuclear War". I personally enjoy the No Nuclear War album more than Legalise it, but both are great.

This is an interesting album to start my day because it makes me feel like I'm still dreaming, interesting spacey ambient sound-scapes, I feel like I'm in the movie Logan's Run.
Looked at the band's spoitify and low and behold I had some liked songs by them and had no idea, the songs are from the GTA 5 soundtrack.

Nick Drake
You can really feel Nick Drake's pain in his voice and his lyrics. He had a short tragic life of self pain and isolation and in the late 60s, early 70s, the options for treatment were limited. I don't think anyone was really aware of the dangers of prescription drugs, nor were they really aware of other mental illness and how some drugs exacerbate those illnesses. I can't help but think, while listening to this album that Nick probably didn't know that taking more wouldn't make him feel better faster, or he may not have even remembered taking them. Poor dude, I'm glad he got recognition and praise eventually, even if he wasn't around to see it.

After I listened to this I looked at Syd's life, and wow! I wonder what really happened to him. All that I could really find was that he disappeared for a few days and when he came back, he was a completely different person. Everyone speculates too many drugs at too young of an age, but that feels too convenient.
