Aladdin Sane
David Bowie
Not my favorite Bowie album, what did Ian Curtis see in this one? The soulful Bowie began to emerge here, so it’s important in terms of his evolution but I dunno, just wasn’t it for me. Can I review The Man Who Sold The World

The Rolling Stones
Stones were the Foo Fighters of their time, the singles are good to great but you’d have to shut your brain off to get through anything else.

Sweet guitar but damn is Bruce’s voice grating. How can 6 minute fast metal songs feel like they last ages?

Superunknown
Soundgarden
Strong start that builds to a perfect stretch of songs beginning with the title track and ending with The Day I Tried To Live. The only fault I find with Superunknown is that it’s, to quote Scott Wieland, “Bloa-Ted.”

KISS
Being a KISS fan in the 70s must have been wild, but this is 2024 and there’s no reason every song needs to be based around the power of rock and roll.

James Brown
Half the James Brown experience is seeing him do that thing where he collapses on stage, seemingly from exhaustion, and a stage hand drapes a cape over him to usher him out, only for James Brown to discard the cape and come back to life.

good album that kind of just played through without any repeats.
If I see this on a top 5 of all time list, I’ll assume two things
1. I had to be alive at the time to fully get this album
2. This person will ask me to open a pdf.
