2/5

Meh

Paris 1919

John Cale

4/5

A couple of songs on here I really dig - Half Past France and Paris 1919. Kind of a strange vibe to the whole album, but that intrigues me.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Lots of classics, I just don't really like Bruce's classics.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Into the Light - funky riff throughout. Seems like a good album to listen to while driving around delivering packages.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Stand - dancing at my desk. Funky outro. Sex Machine - sweet jam.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

First time listening to a Peter Gabriel album We do what we're told - Pink Floyd'esque Lotta classic singles

Too weird for a re-listen.

4/5

Classic. Great background tunage.

Black Sabbath

4/5

First ever Black Sabbath album listen. I liked.

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

3/5

Interesting. Maybe a relisten at some point, but a bit out there.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Classic. Maybe nice for a slow dance here and there.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

First ever listen front to back of this. Excellent top to bottom. Didn't realize it was from back in 1970. Wild.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

2/5

Orbital 2

Orbital

4/5

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

3/5

Seasick favorite song. Heavy alt early 2000's rock. Worth a relisten at some point.

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

4/5

Like it. Perfect to just have on in the background during a hangout.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

2/5

I've heard that it takes some time to "get" Elvis Costello's music. I'm not there yet.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

Worth a relisten. I felt cool listening to this.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

3/5

It's classic, but IMO it doesn't hold up that well on a front-to-back listen. Kinda boring.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

4/5

Dug it. Know their voiced but never listened to an album before.

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

Some funkiness in there. Some fun songs to bop to. Some that were a bit grating.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Indeed dark. Pretty emotional. Could be a go-to if I need to just wander around listening to something.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

Love it for what it is but don't love it for spending time listening to these days.

4/5

Classic. A few duds, but overall ear candy.

4/5

Trippy and chill. Nice background or drugged up music.

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

Classic, just not something I'd seek out.

Bert Jansch

2/5

Nice if on mushrooms in a cabin somewhere, otherwise kinda dullish folk tunes.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

3/5

Good stuff. Sounds like an early Bad Bunny. Heard part of his halftime show was to honor Willie Colon.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

No need to listen. One of the best ever.

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

2/5

Maybe revolutionary, but not for me

Scum

1/5

I tried. Just can't get down with this kind of hardcore.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout
