Queen II by Queen
May 07 2024

I forgot how bluesy Queen could be. I listened to the deluxe version, and there were some live recordings. It was so interesting to hear them next to the studio recorded song. They sounded almost identical.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
May 08 2024

Meh. It had some of those recognizable overplayed songs. They're a guilty pleasure. I was a huge Young Guns fan, so hearing Wanted Dead or Alive was a treat.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 09 2024

This was wonderful and I am excited I was introduced to this album and artist!

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
May 10 2024

Definitely a fun album.

All Directions by The Temptations
May 13 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed this album. It made me uncomfortable at times, which is good. Definitely one I would like to listen to again.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
May 15 2024

I love Our House, but the rest of the album didn't interest me much.

Crazysexycool by TLC
May 16 2024

Waterfalls was a constant on MTV when I was listening to all the Grunge music. I enjoyed listening to the album and probably appreciate it more now!

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
May 23 2024

Very much of it’s time. My dad always referenced Jethro Tull when I played flirt in middle school. Not my favorite as I refer The Who and Lead Zeppelin. Aqualung is a classic though!

Skylarking by XTC
May 24 2024

I hear some Tears for Fears and Men at Work.The album as a whole was ok. I do still enjoy Earn Enough for Is and Dear God. I looked at other songs and realized I know quite a few. I’m happy to be reunited with them but didn’t like most of the songs..

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
May 26 2024

I loved this. I know some Dolly Parton and I fought country music for a long time. It's 90s country that I really don't like. Coat of Many Colors is a classic!

Rubber Soul by Beatles
May 27 2024

This album I have enjoyed over the years. It’s been a while since I listened to it. I particularly love Norwegian Wood plus some others BUT with a closer listen with different experiences since the last time I listened. Run for your Life is very problematic.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 28 2024

I had some friends who loved the Iron Maiden in middle/high school. While it was not my favorite, I can now appreciate the precision and awesome vocals of Bruce Dickinson.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
May 29 2024

That was fun! I enjoyed listening to the crazy art pop music that is the early 80s. Definitely not Talking Heads but still fun.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
May 30 2024

I definitely will listen to this again. I really enjoyed strong female singers.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
May 31 2024

Not the Randy Newman I’m used to. Same voice and piano playing but definitely not the Toy Story lyrics! 😂 Entertaining but not gonna revisit.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jun 01 2024

I enjoyed this thoroughly! The rhythms put me into a trance-like state. I was doing some repetitive work; this was the perfect music to relax and do homework for the evening. I will listen to this again and pay more attention to the lyrics. I believe I heard some important lyrics during "Mistake."

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jun 02 2024

Why is this album on this list. I didn't need to listen to this album before I die. I did not lis this at all. I cannot beleive this was their forth album!

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 03 2024

I definitely love some Bob Marley & The Wailers! I don't remember listening to one of their albums in one sitting so this was a treat.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jun 04 2024

I'm not much of a country fan but Johnny Cash is one that I enjoy. The fact he played concerts in prisons is pretty bad ass and quite fitting know what I do about his life!

Suede by Suede
Jun 14 2024

Meh. I thought I would have liked this as it was during my formative years. I now know why I am not familiar with them.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jun 15 2024

I do remember a few of these songs and it was a fun listen!

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jun 16 2024

I guess I was really only exposed to the Police's hits. I do enjoy Message in a Bottle and Walking on the Moon. But ooofff the lyrics in On Any Other Day are...horrible! I'm sure I could go and find a, "That's not what they meant" article out there but I'm tired of that sh*t. Also the rest of it was meh.

Real Life by Magazine
Jun 17 2024

This was an interesting listen. I'm glad I didn't turn it off with the first bits of synth started in Definitive Gaze. I could hear where some new wave groups would have picked up from them. I was not surprised when Bauhaus started playing right after the final song.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jun 18 2024

For the most part, the album didn't keep me engaged. I'm happy I waited until the end with all the great jam sessions during the last five songs. That was fun and a great way to spend the deep cleaning I was doing!

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jun 24 2024

I love Radiohead and it brings me back to simpler days.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jun 25 2024

Who can go from the drug epidemic in black communities to nasty, sexy, funky music followed up with a song about God, topped off by some good ol’ R&B jam sessions? Prince, that’s who! The irony was not lost on me while listening to the first song “Sign ‘O’ the Times” and thinking of his early death due to fentanyl addiction.

Debut by Björk
Jun 26 2024

Björk. Ehat an art collage sounds like! I iced her since the Sugarcubes and still love her and her solo endeavors.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jun 28 2024

This...was...horrible. I almost turned it off but thought I would stick it out. There were moments of fantastically horrendous drug-induced hallucinations, but I could have died before listening to it!

Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 05 2024

Meh. You got Tom Sawyer and Limelight. Other than that not much else.

Aug 06 2024

I love hearing the kids talk about love in between some of the songs. It's not what I usually listen to, but I understand the importance of this album, and I look forward to studying the lyrics and listening again.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Aug 07 2024

Very mellow compared to the albums I was introduced to in the 90s.

Aug 08 2024

One for the easy listening crowd. I’m not that person. It all had the same pace and was boring.
