Morrison Hotel
The Doors
I think I’ve outgrown the allure of Jim Morrison, but the musicianship is still top tier.

Big OutKast fan. This isn’t my fave album of theirs but I get why it’s on the list. Some serious bangers.

Celebrity Skin
Hole
Def more produced than Live Through This which I still listen to every so often. Love’s lyrics and Melissa Auf der Mar’s bass are so good. Makes sense Billy Corgan helped on this record cuz there’s def some smashing pumpkins influences to it.

Love Pixies but never spent too much time with Frank's solo stuff. I really liked this record.

Stan : That's what they called themselves. Like, "The Clash". The only band that mattered. They called themselves that for a reason.

This album came out when I was coasting through college and changed the trajectory of mainstream hip hop.

Trout Mask Replica
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
I have a lot to say about this album, and also not a lot to say about it. I can appreciate the lyricism and some of the strange rhythms. It's both wildly entertaining and sorta stupid. I'd listen again, but I'd make sure to take some drugs.

This is sort of when they started to suck. Howlin for you is trash but I enjoyed relistening to this and would definitely not complain if someone put it on. Some of the instrumentation sounds like wu-tang beats.

The stuff truck commercials are made of. Decent road trip tunes. Not really into the bluegrass jam kinda thing but it's fine. Is Stills even that good of a singer though, really?

Sure, Seven Nation Army is overplayed but Jack's songwriting and guitar playing is top tier on this record. Meg providing a thumping ass heart beat keeping everything on track without Jack getting too carried away. Their most cohesive record. This shit rules.

A little dated for my liking. A lotta better electronic albums from this era in my opinion. Didn't hate it but it was sorta annoying.
