Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Dec 01 2024

Surprised by the southern roots-equestrian instrumentation throughout the album. As someone not very familiar with the Stones, I pictured a much more classic rock sound to accompany one of their albums placed on a list such as this. The harmonicas, piano, and guitars created a very different atmosphere. I think the big lack, at least to me, was the lack of anything super catchy or sticky

Dec 01 2024

Lots of moving parts with the instrumentation, but it all felt very cohesive and focused. Different grooves for every track, with clear progressions

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 02 2024

Up and down for me. Some of it felt like very overproduced stadium rock, others felt like timeless music

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Dec 03 2024

Having already listened to What’s The Story Morning Glory, this feels a bit heavier, a bit of a different feel from the more lush feeling of that album. Still enjoyed it.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Dec 04 2024

Not much to say on this one. Pretty good, a couple hits, sounded as expected. Nothing blew me away, good songwriting.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 05 2024

First dip of my toes into real reggae, and I enjoyed it

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Dec 06 2024

First album I really couldn’t vibe with. Felt repetitive and boring to me.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Dec 07 2024

I thought a lot of this was classy and catchy. Just not good enough to warrant the full 4 stars

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Dec 09 2024

Surprised by how many songs on this I didn’t care for. Anything that wasn’t trying to be catchy felt samey and boring to me. A few hits for sure but didn’t like it much

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 10 2024

I can see why people say this is the greatest guitarist of all time
