Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Dec 06 2024

BANGERS ONLY DAD ROCK IS BACK BABY!!! To be added to a camp dad jamz playlist

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Dec 08 2024

Solid 90s vibes from the 80s. I think Mike had this CD because I recognized many of the songs. Would listen again.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Dec 09 2024

Not gonna lie, this is pretty bad. Nothing really redeemable about this album. Worse than a high school talent show band.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 10 2024

Lime in the coconut guy! More 70s dad jams, LFG

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Dec 11 2024

Pretty one dimensional album and not gonna lie 'just like a woman' is a pretty rough song. Also, way too long and all sounds the same.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Dec 12 2024

Not really my regular listening vibe but pretty nostalgic and classic.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 13 2024

Fond memories jamming to this in the Minnie Winnie back in the day. Still slaps!

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Dec 14 2024

Get out of here kraft punk! JK, this is pretty good and sounds like an earlier evolution of Daft Punk

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Dec 15 2024

Solid indie vibes worthy of listening again.

Imagine by John Lennon
Dec 16 2024

I know John hates John Lennon but it seems to be a little easier for me to separate the art from the artist. Helps when Yoko isn't involved.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Dec 17 2024

She really is so unusual... but not in a good way. Not a Cyndi Lauper fan.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Dec 18 2024

Pretty cringy with some very jay puffiny lyrics... quite the piece of "art".

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Dec 19 2024

This was much more enjoyable to listen to than expected. I realized my opinion of Xtina was completely skewed by watching so much american idol in my tweens. She's got a really powerful voice. Album itself got a little long in the tooth near the end.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Dec 20 2024

I completely forgot she was also a rapper... good early rap vibes

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 21 2024

Not their best but I'm still a pretty big Fleetwood mac fan

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Dec 23 2024

Agree with John, decent background jazz tracks. Review for pictures at an exhibition was accidentally the jazz one whoops.

Dec 26 2024

Not a big fan of christmas music in general...and this one is a tough sell since it's the one that plays in every store I walk into for a month straight every year.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Dec 27 2024

Old school country in the best way.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Dec 28 2024

Definitely a fan of this and pretty easy listening

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Dec 29 2024

Big high-school throwback album... wouldn't put it on my regular rotation but I know a lot of words to a lot of the songs, so there's that.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Dec 31 2024

Easy listening indie

Kenya by Machito
Jan 03 2025

Perfect dinner cooking music is correct. Love the heavily featured horns in this funky jazz

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jan 06 2025

What an interesting guy... his later stuff is alright but after John and I went on a Bowie internet deep dive I also came to the conclusion that his earlier stuff is preferable

Moon Safari by Air
Jan 07 2025

Pretty unique, good listening for cooking, chilling or walking around. A very high 3 but I can't justify putting it next to some of the other 4s.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Jan 08 2025

Down with this, pretty chill and easy listening

2112 by Rush
Jan 09 2025

Maybe I would be one of the 7 women spotted at a rush concert. I don't think I would regularly listen to this but after listening to John rant about how technically skilled they are and watching a million youtube videos of them performing live I'd be lying if i said it didnt grow on me a little. Plus every cameo they've done in a tv show or movie indicates they have great senses of humor and don't take themselves too seriously and I respect that.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jan 10 2025

Love the name of the band and the album but unfortunately not so much the music...

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 11 2025

Pretty nostalgic

Jan 12 2025

I realized I haven't listened to too much 2Pac, but after this album I totally get the hype

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jan 13 2025

This is solid. Would listen again.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 14 2025

Reminds me of the good times jammin' in the Minnie Winnie in osoyoos, big fan!

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jan 15 2025

Also nostalgic, games without frontiers is an enjoyable listen

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 16 2025

I can appreciate things that are alternative and people taking risks and I also love the name Björk, but this unfortunately is not my jam

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jan 17 2025

I have no strong feelings about this album. I probably wouldn't listen again, but I also probably wouldn't shut it off if someone put it on.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jan 18 2025

To be honest I don't get the insane hype around Coldplay, but I do get why it has wide appeal. This album also really reminds me of high school... somewhere between a 3 and a 4 but I'm rounding up

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jan 19 2025

Some of this is spy movie soundtrack (agree with john) but some of it is also giving edgy elevator music... not really my cup of tea but not completely un-listenable

Medúlla by Björk
Jan 20 2025

See rating for Vulnicura

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jan 21 2025

This was pretty interesting... I prefer this Icelandic music to Björk, that's for sure

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 22 2025

I don't know if I'd listen to Abba every day, but honestly maybe I would... love it

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 23 2025

Rollin' in my six-four. DOO DOO DOO
