Highway to Hell
AC/DC
Is AC/DC THE quintessential cock rock? Maybe? Ironically, once Brian Johnson stepped in for Bon Scott, it feels like we started getting less cock, more rock. Though now I wonder if this hadnβt already begun by Highway to Hell, which is mostly great up until it closes with Night Prowler. On its own, the concept of lurking around in the darkness isnβt necessarily bad. Ninjas, Owls, Batman, and the Northrop B-2 Spirit are all generally beloved. These are not the night prowling vibes which AC/DC embraces on this closing track. But maybe the willingness here to fully embrace and explore some of humanities more problematic corners is, in fact, a good thing. Even if it may not appeal to my own personal tastes. I was gonna give this five, then Night Prowler made me think four. Now Iβm seeing an opposite argument for it to justify the five. But ultimately, this is just my opinion, and personally, Night Prowler lost me at the end, so four.

Pretty great. Outtasite (Outta Mind) and Outta Mind (Outtasite) seem like theyβre based on the melody from the Sesame Street theme. Which is wonderful

Basket of Light is kinda lit. In some cases it almost feels like peak acoustic music before it all became electric.

Kind Of Blue
Miles Davis
I donβt know shit about jazz. And honestly, the trumpet is probably not my favourite instrument. But Iβm kinda starting to like it. Maybe donβt pay too much attention. Donβt overthink it. Itβs pretty great.

Music For The Jilted Generation
The Prodigy
If aliensβor current toddlersβever end up asking what rave sounds like, this is the album. It is to rave what Nevermind is to grunge. And 30 years later, rave as a concept, activity and culture, probably inarguably has the larger global significance. Plus, personally, I love this album. It sounds like being 14 again.

Funky. Quirky. Lotta good beats. Solid 4/5 for sure. Could potentially see it growing on me to the point where itβs 5/5

Safe As Milk
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
I kinda put this one off, because I wasnβt getting a great vibe. But itβs groovy and bluesy. Consistently pretty solid. Feel like I recognize it as a record utilized in turntablism a fair bit

Bat Out Of Hell
Meat Loaf
Seeing this album art as a kid, I assumed this was the hardest rock ever. As I got older, I realized that wasnβt what Meat Loaf was about. However listening to it now in its entirety, I gotta say, it rocks pretty hard. Easy 4/5. Could probably grow on me onto 5/5

Absolute classic. Probably should be 5/5 but not quite maybe? Second half of the album loses a bit of steam. So like 4.9???

More engaging than I was expecting. Itβs lighter, but still fun and uptempo for much of it. It may be soft rock, but it does indeed rock

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
Wu-Tang Clan
Listened to the expanded edition, as the only version of the recommended nine track (original?) I could find on streaming was the censored version. Honestly what is there to say about this? Game changing, genre defining, pure heat from beginning to end. Easy 5/5

I know this is one of the most popular and seminal works in modern music history, probably music history generally by extension, but I just do not vibe with it. Itβs kinda weak and a lot of the writing sounds like itβs been done by children who have just been introduced to poetry as a concept. Itβs mostly fine but not my thing
