Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

haven’t listened to much prince but it made me feel a certain nostalgia for a time i didn’t experience. a few songs gave very protest song vibes

Van Halen

Great classic rock album, electrifying guitar riffs and strong drums mixed with intoxicating vocals. Many a fav in this album- the last three especially a good crescendo ending

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

not something i ever would have discovered on my own, intelligent and provocative vocals in each song back by a fun swing beat. always random aswell when you discover a song that is the sample of one you love

Fela Kuti

4/5

very very rogue but love the rhythm shifts and strong drum beats throughout the songs. could imagine it in a house song ahah

a bit spooky but loved the kinda punk rock vibe, a trend i’ve noticed with older music is the meaning and protest often nestled into the song.

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

random animal theme that i hadn’t noticed before. revolution 9 is super disconcerting. Overall really good album- favs- "For No One", "Yellow Submarine" and "Here, There, And Everywhere".

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

short and very sweet- homeward bound is a great track. felt very groovy and whimsical. What I've noticed with this older music is the interwoven political and social issues with the music- with an apparent message behind the music like a protest that you don't find as common in music these days. The music and art was the vessel for the movement and I think it brings so much more to the songs especially in retrospect.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

absolute king of the game. everytime I listen I envy the people who were able to attend the free concert at Brighton in 2002.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

shortest album i’ve ever heard, heavy punk rock, could imagine listening to this album while in a blind rage

Jeru The Damaja

3/5
