Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 10 2024

Not for me, but appreciate how ground-breaking it was and how it paved the way for Punk Rock

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 11 2024

Time of the Season is a classic and brilliant song. The album is a wonderful sample of the music of the time. Well recorded, well produced.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Sep 12 2024

Time of the Season is a classic and brilliant song. The album is a wonderful sample of the music of the time. Well recorded, well produced.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned by Liars
Sep 13 2024

Weird, just weird and not in a good way. Often atonal and sometimes polyrhythmic, it was perplexingly primitive and hi-tech. It was a portent for Bowie’s Blackstar, but lacked comprehensibility and seemed far more post-apocalyptic.

Eagles by Eagles
Sep 14 2024

Classic. LOVE!

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Sep 18 2024

Realize it’s a supposed classic and appreciate her passionate voice, but fiund it a bit boring

xx by The xx

Meh

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Sep 25 2024

Love that ‘70’s synth!! Fantastic display of ‘70’s analogue synth. Perhaps a little ahead of its time and clearly and influence on LCD Sound System

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 06 2024
My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Oct 16 2024

Like a few songs and performed Alison 100s of times

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Oct 24 2024

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jan 05 2025

Over-exposure in the 90s leading to my PTSD from her PTSD.

Tommy by The Who

Pinball Wizard and I’m Free

Green by R.E.M.
Jun 10 2025

Stand saved it from a 1. This was a precursor to grunge and the darkness of ‘90s rock. Yuck!

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jun 24 2025
Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 26 2025

Inflection point for rap. And WTW is iconic, without that song and video on high repeat with MTV, rap would not have broken through then. Maybe never.
