Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Good album. Was surprised at how many songs I was already familiar with on it.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

4/5

The kind of album I’d want to read the lyrics along to while drinking a beer on my porch on a rainy day.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Pretty good. Lots of blues vibes. Some songs I recognized. Some I didn’t. Would listen to again.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

A classic of course. Slipped the title track because it’s just not cool to listen to anytime outside of October.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

4/5

Only heard partially. Liked it a lot? Is that the dude from Gorillaz?

Parklife

Blur

Norah Jones

3/5

Had never checked them out even though I was familiar with the name. Nice and chill. Will check out more. I’d did give Christmas music in a department store vibes though.

The Joshua Tree

4/5
