Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Very different vibe than today’s country music. Enjoyed his voice and the more direct storytelling style, even if the stories were mostly about people he needs to shoot.

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

Some songs I really enjoyed. Others were just too much noise and sound.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

Love Closer. Not a huge fan of the rest. Not into screaming and chaotic noises

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

2/5

I don’t understand jazz I guess. It’s fine. I’m sure in a historical context I would be more impressed. It’s not as jarring as other jazz I’ve listened to. Not my jam.

The Joshua Tree

5/5

Love this album. Every song is a hit for me. Forgot how much I love early U2.

Gorillaz

2/5

Enjoyed a couple of songs but generally just not my vibe. Didn’t really draw me in. Feels like lots of sounds

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

4/5

I somehow was unfamiliar with Herbie Hancock. I don’t typically like jazz but I was pleasantly surprised. I found this very fun to listen to - especially the first song, Chameleon. It didn’t feel like the typical jazz chaos I’m used to?

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

4/5

I don’t think I’ve really listened to much of her music but I really enjoyed this. Coyote was great

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

1/5

What a dorky album cover - such a different time. Not exactly lyrical masterpieces - she’s my girl and I’m good to my baby. Ugh the patriarchy. So many gross yet childishly simplistic lyrics. I do like their voices? But unfortunately I paid attention to the words.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

I really enjoyed this and wasn’t familiar with Pulp before. Liked the overall sound of sort of pop indie rock with some depth.

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

Great album, great voice, lots of excellent hits - I feel the earth move, you make me feel like a natural woman, will you love me tomorrow.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Really enjoyed this and wasn’t super familiar with him before. Listened to it several times.

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

Not really my jam. Some good songs (Riders on the storm), but some of it just drags on.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

4/5

Enjoyed this more than expected. She Is Watching The Detectives is great though I guess a single haha.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Always been a fan of R.E.M. and The One I Love and It’s The End Of The World As We Know It are classics. Not sure I’ve listened to this whole album before, but I also think it has a good variety of sound.

Signing Off

UB40

3/5

I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard any of their songs except Red Red Wine and I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You, so I didn’t really know what to expect. I’m not the biggest reggae fan but this was a nice easy listen, though the songs feel very similar. Mostly felt like music I’d just have on in the background to mellow out to.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Great album with lots of hits. Also discovered May This Be Love, which was a fave of mine. Loved the variety of songs too.

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

A few really great songs on here - Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal, The Way You Make Me Feel. But some of the others just feel pretty uninteresting to me. Plus the questionable at best artist. Sigh.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Loved Four Women - the end is almost haunting. Overall really enjoyed this one. Incredibly soulful and melancholic and such a unique voice.
