Lady Soul
Aretha Franklin
Chain of Fools just hits right in the soul and is a can't skip song.
This song does indeed make me feel like a natural woman.
I'll never forget my first exposure to Aretha, which was the Blues Brother, and she's always been a great staple. Mo-town did so much for music; I don't think most people realize its impact.

Cool start out with the bassline.

I need this album on vinyl. It starts so soft and smooth.
This is such an album you can listen to with people but at the same time by yourself and feel so many different emotions.
I would walk around my house singing all day if I were Chris Martin.
AND IT WAS ALLLLLL YELLOWWWWWW
I feel like Coldplay is a band where you either like them or someone told you they weren't cool, so you pretend they aren't good.
We Never Change is a song I've never heard, and I'm really happy I finally did.
all in all 7.5/10

Someone protect this adorable little stoner at all costs. Truly music that you feel in the soul and spirit. It will be a sad sad day for country music when this man is no longer with us.

It's Joan Jett and the runaways, but British.
Tattooed Love Boys Kicked on, and suddenly, I was back playing Guitar Hero at my parent's house.
Stop your sobbing, is a great like 80s driving down some desert highway with the top-down song.
Brass in Pocket has been forever stuck in my head since I was like 10 and used to watch the VH1 "I Love the 80s" I can still see the music video playing
The album starts to decline at the end; I think you just reach a point where the songs sound the same. The guitar on The Wait helps pick back up some of the momentum
Overall 5.3/10

Loveless
My Bloody Valentine
I have heard this band's name but have never heard a single song, so this should be interesting.
I thought it was Billy Corgan off the rip with those soft vocals coming in.
"To here knows" when feels like a tame impala song with synth and vocal sounds.
Cool sounds on "When you sleep" lead into "I only said" seamlessly.
It's a decent album to have as my background music as I get admin tasks done.
Reading their background and seeing how they started and who they inspired makes sense!

Sigh, I already feel uneasy about listening to this album.
It's probably the hardest listen so far of this challenge.
This Woman's work was my only highlight, solely because they used it in an It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode.
1/10

Common
I am familiar with Common the actor and unfamiliar with Common the artist, so I am excited.
The opening bass line is sweet, and this is a welcome change compared to the Kate Bush drivel I had to suffer through yesterday.
God, I love 2000s hip-hop with a passion. It's just so good on so many layers: the beats, the lyrics, the tempo.

It's a staple album that I think many people know from the hits, myself included.
Diving in while a lot of the sound stayed the same throughout the album i never got bored of it like similar albums I have listened to already.
Female vocals are executed well, and the instrumental backing makes the song pleasurable for the ears.
Basic space was a cool change-up in pacing compared to the songs that got us to this point.

It's another band I have zero experience listening to, but let's give it a whirl.
I listened through this album and really couldn't tell you anything I remember about it. It blends with some bands from the time period, but other than that. To the pit of Misery.

So far, this album really hasn't made much of an impression on me. It has some cool sound design, but I feel like this could blend in with any other sound from the time. It's not bad, but it's not something I would seek to put on.

Its like the who mixed with the kinks and the monkees.

Much like sublime Nirvana is one of those bands that I feel like we got a glimpse at something amazing and unfortunately it was ended before reaching its full potential......but at the same time is that express window what makes it so impactful?

It's a good choice for the mood I'm in today, I just want something nice and relaxed in the background.
Take 5, having been used in so many different pieces of media, was welcoming and warm.
Overall a solid album that I wouldn't hate owning on vinyl

The spaceship is an upside down guitar and i never knew this until the internet told me.
Foreplay/longtime is such a cool song but it bothers me at times cause the beginning is so sick and the bass line is so fat and then it just disappears
