Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 10 2024

A favorite McCartney album w songs from my youth. We’ve seen him live in recent years and these songs have really held up

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jun 18 2024

High energy, 70’s beat. A lot of fun and an easy album to enjoy

#1 Record by Big Star
Jun 21 2024

Not my favorite

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jun 22 2024

Not my type of music, but they are talented

Tago Mago by Can
Jun 24 2024

Too weird for me

Jun 25 2024

Classic. As Rich says, no brainer. One of the most original albums of its time and it stands up today

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jun 26 2024

2 hits that played constantly when I was young, but the rest of the album, while introspective the songs were melancholy and wouldn’t drive me back for another listen

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 28 2024

Not a huge Janis fan, but this album really captured her as a force of nature. I enjoyed the album musically and appreciated the sound of the late 60’s.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jun 29 2024

Nothing here that would make me want to listen to more. Though I did like later albums, I was never a huge fan

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 30 2024

I liked let’s get it on which was on the radio all the time when I was growing up. The rest of the album was ok, but all sounded very similar. His later songs w Tammy Terrell were much more enjoyable.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jul 01 2024

He never appealed to me

War by U2
Jul 02 2024
Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 04 2024

I’m 50/50 on this one. Love golden years, tvc15 And stay. The rest of the album doesn’t do much for me.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 07 2024

Really enjoyed the first 5 or 6 songs but a lot of what they did started to sound very similar

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 08 2024

Great follow-up to born to run and it’s full of songs that I still love today.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 09 2024

I recall a number of these songs from 70’s radio. They were hits at the time but feel dated to me now.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jul 12 2024

It’s a little underwhelming. I like a more upbeat sound

Low by David Bowie
Jul 16 2024

Not all that popular, but I’ve always love sound and vision

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 20 2024

I like Green Day but their rhythms make me feel tense if I listen too long

American Gothic by David Ackles
Jul 22 2024

I didn’t see why this was made It was the oddest compilation I have ever heard. Sounded like open mic night at the local dive bar Too harsh?

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 23 2024

Talented. Not my cup of tea, but high quality sounds

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Aug 01 2024

Too weird for me

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 02 2024

Finally!!! Did they make anything that wasn’t great?

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 06 2024

Hard to argue with this being a classic.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Aug 08 2024

Saw them at my school for a special assembly They had a couple of decent songs

Smash by The Offspring
Aug 11 2024
Aug 12 2024

I’m not a fan, but they have a distinctive sound and their songs are pretty good. Talented guys

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Aug 13 2024

Not my style

Aug 15 2024

Ugh

Good songs, I always found them fun, but not compelling

Aug 18 2024

Not what I expected, pretty good

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Aug 20 2024

I loved the doors. Just wished they were around when I discovered them

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Aug 21 2024

I like her voice. Great style. Very soothing

The Cars by The Cars
Aug 22 2024

Unique sound of my teens and 20’s. I’ve always liked them. Never my top tier, but I like listening to them every so often

Aug 23 2024

Didn’t enjoy. I’m not afraid of the f word but stringing a bunch of f’s & mf’s isn’t my idea of a good song writing

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Aug 25 2024

Just one hit on this album and it was all I liked

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 27 2024

Definitely different. Experimental and at times odd? Not a lot to sing along to

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Sep 01 2024

Sep 03 2024

One of my favorite albums

Dare! by The Human League
Sep 04 2024
Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Sep 05 2024

I enjoyed this album. He voice was great and the music was very good. I would listen to her again

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Sep 07 2024

Not a huge fan. I liked a lot more of Paul Simon’s solo stuff. But Cecelia was on the radio constantly when I was young. Bridge over troubled water is a good song, but slow. Another case, of a very good album, just not my cup if tea

All Directions by The Temptations
Sep 10 2024

I like the temptations but this isn’t their best

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 14 2024

Great vibe. Talented guys

The Bends by Radiohead
Sep 22 2024

I enjoyed this, but they are different than what I usually listen to

1984 by Van Halen
Sep 24 2024

Never really liked these guys. Eddie could play guitar, but he was a mess as a person

Dust by Screaming Trees
Sep 25 2024

Really enjoyed this album. I don’t think I was overly aware of them at the time. Reminder me a lot of soundgarden.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Sep 30 2024

Oct 27 2024

I only listened to a couple, but it’s not my kind of music

Rio by Duran Duran
Oct 28 2024
Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
