Groovin'
The Young Rascals
New kid to the group. Hi guys!
Seems a mix of styes across songs. Some blues influence, some 60s West Coast reverb in the guitars, some East Coast beach music. Find Somebody is the standout with that first note evoking U2βs Desire, the Safaries, or the opening scene of a Tarantino movie

Playing With Fire
Spacemen 3
Can appreciate its meditative qualities. Might have even more with some salicylic aid; but, all in all, not my mushroom cup of tea.

All Mod Cons
The Jam
Sharp social commentary and catchy pop melodies like in βMr Cleanβ. Tracks like "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" are a treat. Has a punk energy in the guitar and drums and new wave lyrics. Guess mod is now school. It's a standout album.

Back To Black
Amy Winehouse
Back to black is soulful and almost makes a jazz fan out of an anything-but-jazz listener like me.

Oracular Spectacular
MGMT
for fun I let AI write my review:
MGMT's "Oracular Spectacular" is a vibrant, psychedelic journey that seamlessly blends indie rock with electronic influences. Its standout tracks like "Time to Pretend" and "Kids" showcase the band's knack for catchy hooks and thought-provoking lyrics, making it a defining album of the late 2000s indie scene.

It's Blitz!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Always loved Karen Oβs voice and that indie sound with buzzing guitar licks. Their breakout hit Heads Will Roll is iconic marvel. I found most every song on the LP compelling. No wonder Spin rated the album top 2 of that year
