Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Feb 22 2024

A classic. I def see how this is foundational to the entire genre. Grace Slick is clearly the highlight with White Rabbit and Somebody to Love being the obvious standouts.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 23 2024

This dude can do everything. Thought I had pretty decent understanding of the Paul Simon "oeuvre", just from the big hit singles and his general existence in Pop culture and my parents' radios. But diving into this really expanded my view of his talents and impact. Assumed I would enjoy this but still surpassed expectations.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 24 2024

Meh this is not for me. Definitely a distinct vibe and I respect the specific niche this lives in, but I'm just admitting this is not something I'd go for.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Feb 25 2024

Was late to the party on these guys but was way into all the subsequent influences. Really fun here

Nevermind by Nirvana
Feb 26 2024

Maybe I've heard this wayyyyy too much. Definitely genre defining but I rarely find myself seeking this out.

Cross by Justice
Feb 27 2024
The Blueprint by JAY Z
Feb 28 2024

Always feel like I'm missing something. I consider myself a rap fan but now saw how Jay-Z was at the top. Just not for me I guess.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Feb 29 2024
Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 02 2024

Quincy Jones for President of the Universe

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Mar 03 2024

Hell yea. Would definitely not have been on my radar. Although Sturgill Simpson has been a recent favorite of mine and now I can clearly see a straight line from Waylon to Sturgill. Glad to have this in my rotation now.

Fragile by Yes
Mar 04 2024

I generally like the idea of "prog rock", but this one doesn't do it for me and I'm struggling to put my finger on why exactly.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Mar 05 2024

Meh. I really enjoy the image of these guys. Dave Grohl is an enjoyable personality and I appreciate that he appears to straddle the line between "rock star" and "family man". This band definitely is consistent with staying power. They write hits. Seeing them live is a legit enjoyable experience. However with the records I don't find myself seeking them out that much. It's quality rock pop that is pleasing all around, and especially fun live - but maybe a little generic when it comes to deciding what I wanna blast in the car or space out to in the headphones. Much respect though.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Mar 06 2024

Eh not really feeling this

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Mar 09 2024

Def more a fan of what's the story morning glory

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Mar 16 2024
Be by Common
Mar 23 2024
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 11 2024
