Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

New Forms by Roni Size

Some solid grooves, but can't listen to more than one or two EDM songs in a row

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

Never heard of this before. Lots of the messaging still applies today. Not particularly enjoyable to listen to, but powerful.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry by Billy Bragg

I Against I by Bad Brains

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

Tremendous - want to relisten many times. Don't think I've ever listened to a Bowie album front to back.

Murmur by R.E.M.

Meh

Paris 1919 by John Cale

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. by Bruce Springsteen

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

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees

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

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

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

So by Peter Gabriel

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

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu

Too weird for a re-listen.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods

Love the bass walking in On Sir Francis Drake

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You by Aretha Franklin

Classic. Great background tunage.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

First ever Black Sabbath album listen. I liked.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré

Three songs in. Definitely a fave. Amandrai a nice deep blues groove. Would be fun to improv to. 5 stars since if the mood is right for this, it's perfect.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson

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

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra

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

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

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 by Supergrass

Orbital 2 by Orbital

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line

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

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project

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

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello

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

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

Worth a relisten. I felt cool listening to this.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

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 by Public Enemy

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

Homework by Daft Punk

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

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

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

Highway to Hell by AC/DC

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

Metallica by Metallica

Classic. A few duds, but overall ear candy.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

Barbarism Begins at Home. Rad

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings

Nice. Never listened to any Paul or Wings albums

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Liked it. Will give another listen.

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Filled with classics

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession by Laura Nyro

Classic sounding, just don't love the melodies

Low by David Bowie

Trippy and chill. Nice background or drugged up music.

Hotel California by Eagles

Classic, just not something I'd seek out.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch

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

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers

Too southern

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

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 by Pink Floyd

No need to listen. One of the best ever.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer

Maybe revolutionary, but not for me

Scum by Napalm Death

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

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout

Distinctly cheese rock 80s. Don't think I'd seek it out.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen

A little too dark and melody-less for my tastes

The Cars by The Cars

Ridiculously good album front to back

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

Mayyyybe a relisten here or there, but prob not

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple

Totally badass and unique

Pink Flag by Wire

Cool. Not my style, but cool for what it is - old school punk stuff

Konnichiwa by Skepta

Cool. Not my style, but cool for what it is
