Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

2/5

Not my cuppa. Quite annoying music imo. But it’s my first bob dylan album so that’s good

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

Fantastic album. Just on the break between their rock/pop era towards the disco. Happy music that set the tone of the day! 5/5

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Not my genre usually! But really enjoyed the lyrics and the beats. I’ve heard a lot about this particular album from people who understand and love rap. Fun to listen to something you usually don’t hear and glad I did it.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

I love Bowie! I like this album and especially the instrumental songs. This album is like a journey between “2 bowies”. Or the whole trio loft does of Low, Heroes and Lodger. Heavy influenced by Berlin and ambient sounds. It’s playful and fun to listen too. Sounds like he was very inspired while creating this album

Guero

Beck

2/5

It was ok. So difficult to say when it’s not your genre. But it felt like Muzak to me. Appreciated the slower songs more.

Dry

PJ Harvey

1/5

Not my cuppa

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

Fun album. Gets you in a good mood. It’s nice to look back to these moments in time when music radically changed. You can hear the liberation and the fun and the pride. And nothing was the same afterwards, which is fascinating

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

It’s imcredible to get to listen to all these artists I’ve always known about but never listened to.

Suzanne Vega

1/5

Boring Boring Boring. All songs sounds the same

Legalize It

Peter Tosh

5/5

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Loved it! It’s right in between two styles of Beatles I feel. Sounds like they’re on their way somewhere and it also seems to have been q influential for more psychedelic rock

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Pleasantly surprised! Read the synopsis and it said singer song writer which is so bland to me. But this felt very cinematic and bold and dramatic yet gentle and cosy. Would listen again

Boston

2/5

Too much rock in this list

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

5/5

What a trip down memory lane. Grew up with this album. Love the heavy synthesisers on top of the pop rock happy go lucky sound. Beautiful lay arranged and curated. Felt happy and empowered by it

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Never been a hip hop person but obviously heard about Kendrick. Plus I’ve heard he’s the greatest! And I agree, I fully enjoyed this album. Nice beats but mainly sick lyrics.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

2/5

I realised I don’t like blues

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

1/5

Too much rock in this list. Boring.

3/5

I do love me some krautrock but yesterday I was not in the mood. Saving it for another day. But liked the little I heard

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

4/5

Enjoyed it so much. Makes you happy with some country. And pissing myself at the lyrics so bloody dramatic

3/5

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

This was one of the best listening experiences so far of this challenge. What an incredible album. I love a lengthy album. The music builds beautifully and lies. So right in your eardrum. Lyrics are incredible too. Joy in my tears and black man gave me chills. Never listened to a striver album back to back

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

4/5

Very much enjoyed!

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

The right ammonit of trippy. Also found songs that have been covered from them By others and never knew it was theirs first.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

I really want to like cyndi but it’s something about that voice that I don’t like. Time after time is a banger because she’s not yelling in that one lol. But it’s obviously a very big milestone in fashion and sound. Didn’t know she had made a cover of Prince or vice verse.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Very good album actually. Should have stuck to this kind of music. Whatever. I’m not a MJ fan but this is smooth and nice and sexy.
