Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Feb 22 2024

There's a lot here. Definitely some good material, and it's interesting to hear what are effectively signatures of the time–lots of wah-wah guitar, talk box, and other staples of the era. I had heard this before a few times over the years, but never all in one sitting. I was mostly familiar with "Stand" and "I Want to Take You Higher" from a ridiculous cover-medley from an electric violinist named Mark Wood. And of course the big hit, "Everyday People", was well known to me because it's everywhere. Certainly in lots of commercials in the 80s and 90s. Not something I will put on regularly, but interesting and I understand why it made such an impact when it did. There's a lot here.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Feb 23 2024

Not my style of music, but a couple of songs got my attention, in particular, "Frontier Psychiatrist", as I had heard it somewhere before and it's quite catchy.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Feb 28 2024

just...no. too many skits, all over the place. appreciate the Peg samples in one of the hits, but this is not for me

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Feb 29 2024

Some stuff in here I like. I get how it was groundbreaking at the time, and divisive. Some cool stuff here. I'll probably check it out again someday. Not blown away, but not really my kind of music at the moment. Overall, definitely worth a listen.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Mar 01 2024

There's a lot here. Very impressed and surprised to like this a lot more that I was expecting to. Will listen to more of this and again in the future.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Mar 08 2024

nope. can't do his voice, don't find the music interesting. not for me.

Dookie by Green Day
Mar 11 2024

not my thing, never has been, tried it, but just not that interested. it's not that it's bad music, i just don't care for puck-adjacent stuff that much, which is how Dookie feels to me.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Dec 18 2024

There's some songs on here I like. I am a talking heads fan, didn't realize this was such a seminal album for them.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Dec 19 2024

Not my thing. Didn't realize country was the style. Can't say I didn't like it, but not something I am particularly interested in right now.

Hms Fable by Shack
Dec 20 2024

meh, didn't grab me, not my thing right now
