Played it during social studies and my student said- Are you listening to Granddaddy’s music?? He’s going to be mad at you.

Feels like a mental breakdown

I don’t like everything on this album but I do like Thinkin Bout You, Super Rich Kids, Pyramids, Pink Matter, Lost, and even sometimes Bad Religion enough for 4 stars. Also. The Cure album was meant to get 3 stars, not 4 and that’s really only for Love Song.

I probably like the originals of the covers here better because they are what I’ve listened to more especially Summer Breeze and Listen to the Music. But this feels like being at a free summer concert with my mom and that is a great feeling. Want to love Who’s That Lady but I just think of Salon Selectives the whole time. Do love Sunshine (Go Away Today)

Part of what I like about a live album is the energy of the crowd obviously during the songs but between each song too. This doesn’t have that, there’s the pause between songs. When I looked it up, I saw the overdubbing stuff but also saw that this is because it was complied from 3 different shows. The biggest takeaway for me was Still in Love with You. So good.

I liked learning about this band more than I liked the actual music. Pills was my favorite track just because it was kinda goofy. The band named themselves after The New York Doll Hospital that opened in 1900 which is such a creepy thought, a whole establishment full of old broken dolls. One of the members dated Connie Gripp who tried to cut his thumb off. She also is the crazy ex of Dee Dee Ramone, there’s a few Ramones song about her. One is Glad to See You Go. She also is said to have slashed his ass open with a broken beer bottle.

Easy listening, but there wasn’t anything I heard outside of Smooth Operator that would really keep me coming back.

It’s eclectic, all over the place, loud, maybe too long and too many features but it’s so good and so important. The sound and the look is unlike anything else that was happening in hip hop at that time. I don’t know that it’s a perfect album for me because I did always have some skips listening to it so I’m giving a 4.5 and rounding up to 5.

I mean, it’s Ray Charles so it was good but it wasn’t really the Ray Charles I was expecting to hear. Maybe this was an album to appeal to a wider audience? The first half of the songs all sounded like the same song and then the second half sounded the same. I would 100% pick the Hallelujah I Love Her So album over this one. Mess Around is a current favorite song from that one.

This album was fine, the hits are hits. I hadn’t heard Earlybird before and I did like that. It was hard to objectively listen to it though. On Christmas Day during the Beyoncé half time performance my maga uncle was complaining the whole time, saying the marching band was fake (what does that even mean?) and why didn’t they get the Eagles to play instead and I have been thinking about that ever since. So then I looked it up this morning and it seems like all the current members are pretty progressive and Joe Walsh doesn’t seem to like Trump at all. And I bet my maga uncle doesn’t know that. Kinda want to post about it on Facebook so he will see it. I also read that Walsh ran for president in 1980 on a platform of “free gas for everybody” and was only 33 at the time not even old enough to be elected.

I married into a Bob Dylan family and I love that for me.

I actually had a strong negative reaction to this album when I listened yesterday. I always thought I liked The Who but I guess I just like the older more refined Who? Who’s Next particularly. I listened to the stereo version which was pretty raw and grainy. Normally I would like that but instead I was having some weird sort of second hand embarrassment the whole time and I think it’s because of that Full House episode where Danny Tanner does this cover of My Generation. I really hated that. I’m giving it a 3 because I listened again today to a different version that was a little cleaner and I can appreciate the musical innovation that was happening there at the time. Breaking the instruments, using them in new ways and whatever else they were getting up to.

I can see appreciating a song or two if you were a specific kind of high from drugs I haven’t dabbled in. A whole album of it over an hour long even then would probably be a bit much.

A little jazz is nice in the winter

This has gotta be as middle of the road as it gets. It’s music that can be on and you don’t even realize there’s music playing.

I loved it so much. Listened to it all weekend. I had never listened to this full album before so it was a treat. I’m very much a fan of the folksy, acoustic, bluesy sides of Zep and this album offers it. If I could swap maybe Celebration Day and Hey, Hey What Can I Do? It might be a perfect album for me.

I love sad music but, not like this.

This was… a grower and not a shower? On the first listen I really could barely get through it. But generally I like folk music so I tried again. On the 2nd listen I could heard drums and maybe a little more of why it might be classified as folk rock. On the 3rd listen, I gave the lyrics more of a chance and then it kept getting better. Something about the guy singing reminds me of the Pogues a bit. And the vibe of the album feels a little like drinking in an Irish Pub.

It’s that old traditional country which isn’t my favorite but it’s also Dolly Parton and I love her. It’s easy to listen to but sometimes felt a little too religious for me. Also don’t love that Phil Spector wrote one of these songs.
