I love this. My favorite type of music to come from the 60s and Redding is so good.

Some good songs. More of a range than I thought. I don’t love the sound of the recording, very compressed vocals. But I like it more than I thought. Never Going Back Again is super corny and out of place. The Chain is a surprise as a good song. I’m sure I’ve heard it before.

Pretty standard sounding early 2000 British rock. Aggressive, a lot of minor songs, a lot of drinking and girls. A lot of songs sound the same. Riot Van sounds like an heavy influence for the band Easy Life. Not my favorite although I do like a number of later songs by this band.

First impression… this is not for me. Mix of hip-hop and industrial EDM. Sounds incredibly dated to me. I can see people who were into this kind of industrial music loving it in the same way I love Youngblood Brass Band because I like brass bands. Serial Thrilla sounds more like Beastie Boys but not good. Narayan sounds like it could be acceptable in the closing credits of a gross and unsatisfying horror movie. Mood: crabby. However this is a mix of almost every genre and sound I don’t like.

Bat Out of Hell is a very fun song. Love the spoken word part. I can see where Creeper gets their influence…. Same tone of voice and everything. Heaven Can Wait is not that strong. Paradise is awesome. Overall, a fun listening experience and a cool rock opera.

I really like this album. Peace of Mind is one of my favorite choruses of any song for some reason. This album makes me feel like I’m in a bar and I love it. They have such good little harmonic moments. This album might actually make it into my rotation.

I’ve heard these songs so many times. Don’t think I’ve ever listened to the full album but it’s really hard to focus on them as I’m so used to them being background music. Ok I haven’t heard a lot of these songs but I don’t like them that much. On A Plain is pretty cool.

Industrial rock but not nearly as sucky as The Prodigy. Not sure why this is better. I still don’t like it very much. Hurt is great. Why are they looping screaming crowds? Not cool. Not for me. Hopefully I get out of the 90s soon.

First track is cool. Not something I’d listen to or even come across if not for this. Tradition sounds like they had fun performing. Good, laid back sound. Nothing standing out as a track I might go back to, outside of the title track, Marcus Garvey.

Really like this sound. Sounds like a lot of bands I like mixed together - Coldplay, Cinematic Orchestra, Foo Fighters, Badly Drawn Boy. It has all the early 2000 sounds and I’m surprised I’ve never heard of them before.

I’ve never heard melancholy record scratches before. Not an album I enjoyed but I also listened on a Monday morning, which is probably not a good time to expose myself to unfamiliar things. The Big Wheel might be something I’d go back to.

Na Neblina is cool. I like the combo of Latin rhythm and electronica. Not a lot of notes about individual songs, but I love the energy and overall sound.

Getting weird with new wave. It’s not a pleasant listen. Synchronicity II is good but the bridge is a bit droney. I thought I would be bored by Every Breath You Take because of how many times I’ve heard it, but I’m really liking it. Not sure if it’s because it’s that great or if it’s like an oasis amongst the rest of the tracks.

I don’t hate it. I like the energy. It seems like something that would be better experienced in person packed with others compared to listening whilst drinking coffee and checking emails early in the morning. No Class is catchy. I ended up liking this more than I thought I would. Great energy and a decent recording even if sound quality wasn’t high.

I lack historical and musical awareness to appreciate this. I’ve heard Everyday People and it just doesn’t resonate with me. Sex Machine is making me laugh.

I like it a lot. I’ve never heard of this guy and it sounds a lot like something I would enjoy if a modern day bluegrass-influenced musician would release. The first two tracks are really good. May return to this one.

Track 1 is really good. Synth sounds sound like something that would come on a very inexpensive toy keyboard. Some decent moments. Not a favorite. 2.5 rounded up because of track 1

Pink Moon sounds like a Laura Marling song and it’s good. He seems like a thoughtful guy. A guy with a guitar is likely not going to be fascinating upon first listen. The lyrics seem good when I catch them.

There are some albums that I’m sure were “ahead of their time”, but now that we’re after their time, they sound unimpressive. I think I lack the context for this one because it sounds like forgettable Brit-rock.

Johnny Cash has never appealed to me. San Quentin is cool to hear when he’s singing it to the inmates.

I like the sound of this. It’s Not Up To You is a good song. It’s a difficult listen on first try but not unpleasant.

The most 60s British album I’ve ever heard, and I like it? They’re not all winners.. Drivin just came on. Nothing really stood out. Victoria is catchy, but probably nothing I’ll return to.

This is starting out delightfully strange. This is my jam. Loving the electro bebop.

I’m trying to think what it is that bothers me about 60s psychedelic music. I think I’m too far removed from that culture to understand it. Also, growing up in the 80s and 90s, this is the sound we were rebelling against. Also the sitar and pan flutes… not pleasant in any generation of pop music. However, this album is slightly better than most I’ve heard on this journey. Still incredibly British, and to me that is derogatory when it comes to 60s music.

Didn’t get through it. Wasn’t feeling it.

Just no.

Sweet horns. I sort of like it. Nothing that jumped out to me that I really want to go back to.

It was pretty interesting. Would not have listened to it. It reminded me that this guy recorded with Mumford & Sons and I like that song. I don’t know, hard to have an opinion for something other than “yeah I listened” Didn’t hate it though.

Liking it more than I thought I would. I’ve never loved this band but I know all the songs are decent. To me the sound is a little to stiff and plodding. Nightswimming is great.

These guys are badasses. Such a cool sound. Listened while I was biking and it was a perfect companion for that. Interesting and energetic.

Wilco always bores the pants off me for some reason. I have never been able to get into them. I’ve seen them in concert twice and nothing. I thought this would be a good chance to give them another shot.just doesn’t connect with me. Too mellow.

First time I’ve heard any of these songs except Band on the Run. That song is ok. Nothing else really stuck out to me but it was hard to give it my all today. 2.5 ⭐️ rounded up for Beatles.

First three songs are great. Haven’t heard much of the rest before now. Red Hill Mining Town is decent. Overall, I retain my original feeling of U2. I really like some of their songs, but not a band I would spend time getting to know the entire catalogue.

Definitely a slow burn, but a pleasant one. The songs go on and on, and then you realize you’re kind of into it. An Ocean In Between the Waves has a very slow build up and rocks for the last few minutes. I’m enjoying it as an album, but so far there are no singles I would stick on a playlist. Songs are more introspective and long. 3.5 ⭐️

They do good work. It’s fun and he has the best punk voice. Probably not anything I’ll be adding to any daily playlists, but it was enjoyable.

I’m familiar with the singles on this, and love them all. I’m excited to listen to the rest of the album. So far Hello and Roll With It are great. Don’t Look Back in Anger is one of my favorite songs of all-time. All of these songs are good. Great album.

Not heard any of these before. Music is Love is very easy listening. He thought he was onto something with Cowboy Movie? 7 minutes of a 37 min album. Liking it more than I thought I would. Song With No Words is putting me to sleep. Three decent songs early and the rest were pretty tame and uninteresting to me.

Pretty straightforward. I liked the horn sound on a couple tracks. The lyrics struck me as pretty corny a number of times. Just from a different time.

I like the sound. It has aspects that remind me of every decade from the 60s through the 90s. I think if it listened to this a few times I would really like it.

There’s something about early British punk that just doesn’t click with me. A few of the songs have a good sound. These Hands is terrible. Anti—Pope is solid. There are a handful of different sounds on this album. Smash it Up Pt 1 is good. 2.5 ⭐️

The lyrics are pretty good. The music is… there are a lot of sounds and stuff. Not my favorite thing. Starting to think it would be embarrassing if you were British and released an album between 1967-1995 and it wasn’t on this list. Wrong is a decent song. Don’t think I’ll be returning to this one.

It’s pretty ragged sounding. Sometimes this can be endearing. This is right on the edge and alternates between “unrefined but energetic” and “these guys are just bad at singing and playing instruments”. The Man Who Would be King is decent. Road to Ruin is ok. I just don’t enjoy any of their musical ideas. This is not for me. 2 ⭐️

Good album. I like their sound.

This is a classic. One of my most listened to records from my youth. Human Nature is the standout on this album to me.

Some cool sounds. The term in the Wikipedia entry of “producer-driven R&B” describes both the sound and why it doesn’t appeal to me very well. I don’t know the history of the song Cruisin’, but I do know I dislike it in every iteration I’ve ever heard it. The songs with a walking bass and piano are kinda decent.

Pretty forgettable. Nothing grabbed me, but again I’m half listening at also digesting the terrible news we are bombarded with each day, so it has been difficult to be in a mindset to be open to new old music.

Some pretty parts, some slow parts. His songs have always sounded a bit plodding and rigid to me. It is definitely an identifiable sound.

This is very awesome. The band has such good energy and the sound is great. It captures the energy of the crowd as well.

On, On, On, On… is a cool song. The lyrics seem like the strong point. I’m not able to place myself in the time where the sounds of this album are anything except silly. Some of the lyrics indicate that is intentional.

Mixed feelings on this one. Time of the Season is a great song, but totally different than the rest of the album. This is my least favorite genre of British music. Despite that, many of the songs were catchy even with the random chunky chordal progressions that I typically dislike.

There are some really beautiful melodies on this album. I love the ensemble that was put together. I had never heard of this before now but I am glad I’ve listened to it.

Watching the Blue Jean Committee episode of Documentary Now has ruined 60s folk for me. This is just too corny for me.

I don’t hate it. Some cool ideas and sounds. Some horrific sounds and tedious parts as well. Overall I liked it more than I expected after the opening 3 minutes.

I’ve never listened to this and was lukewarm on Black Sabbath coming in, but this is pretty sweet. My favorite British album to date from this journey.

Exuberant, if not super interesting. The last 3 tracks really stand out on this album. I understand this is early metal. I recently had Black Sabbath, and this band is not at their level, but still enjoyable

Unlucky that I just had their other album 4 days ago. It seems that the parts where they’re playing “traditional” rock are much better and tighter. Their progressive digressions seem to have become more indulgent and boringer.

I’ve never sat down and listened to a Dylan album. Tangled Up In Blue is a great opener. The whole album is pretty good. He had a great melodic sense, good lyrics, and a great accompanying band. Simple but effective. Shelter From the Storm is another highlight. Pretty good album.

I really don’t like the sound of this album. It’s a little muddy and hard to hear anything that is going on. There are a few songs where I can’t tell if he’s being ironic or just a huge jerk. Probably would have been more obvious in the context of the time and knowing more about him. A couple songs are nice. This might grow on me with a couple more listens, but I likely won’t do that.

I’ve never listened to much by this band. It’s pretty fun and playful which I appreciate. The O-Men is enjoyable. I like the fever-dream aspect of it. 22 Going On 23 is pretty haunting.

I love this. My favorite type of music to come from the 60s and Redding is so good.

It is interesting but not necessarily enjoyable. Mote is decent.

Liking this. I’d never heard of her, but some nice funky and bluesy guitars, some good melodies. I’m surprised this is British.

I am loving this album. It’s noisy but precise. It reminds me of a lot of early 2000s rock such as The Stroke and QOTSA, but it’s consistently better throughout than the albums I’ve heard from those bands. Crazy these guys only have 1,700 monthly listeners o ln Spotify at this point (many of them people from this project no doubt), but considering they don’t exist anymore there’s no reason for any promotion.

I like this sound and feel. Great mid-90s throwback that I haven’t listened to before. Good lyrics. Some nice melodies as well.

A lot of how we experience music is based on things we cant always control, like our stress levels, sleep levels, open-mindedness at the time. Whatever it is for me today, this one is feeling like a chore.

I’ve never sat down and listened to an entire Joni Mitchell album, and this was a great experience. Very beautiful both lyrically and musically.

No real thoughts on this. It was decent. Nothing jumped out as super interesting.

I like this. They incorporate sounds from a lot of genres, and most songs are pretty interesting. Pleasant surprise.

Wow, I did not expect to like that! I kind of rolled my eyes when this came up, but the songs are so darn energetic and catchy. I wouldn’t mind if some of these start showing up on my Spotify playlists.

Half star for sax solo on Let Love Rule. I’ve never been a fan of Kravitz. Coming in, I’ve always thought his brand of rock was very bland and although I’m trying to approach all albums with an open mind, this album has not changed that opinion.

Going to force myself to sit through this and try to keep my mind open even though it is currently screaming at me to cover my ears. It’s atmospheric. It sounds like I’m in a horror movie. I will never choose to listen to this again, but at least it’s different.

I want to like this more than I do. It’s very well-produced and there are some nice sounds. Definitely whimsical. Ooh, saxes on Aeroplane. That was the highlight track. Probably nothing I will return to. Violently Happy reminded me of Suba, who I’ve only heard from this. Ok Anchor Song brings back the sax trio and is good.

I was familiar with a lot of the songs on this album. There were a couple I really liked that I hadn’t heard much before. Politik and Amsterdam were my favorites. Overall I really liked this album.

Some total bangers on this album. These guys rock pretty hard and I enjoy most of the songs.

This is better than I thought it would be after the opening track. These guys seem like total weirdos but I like it.

This is like two different albums… the blues songs are decent. The other songs are incredibly corny. They seem like decent musicians, but I am definitely experiencing 60s British psychedelic rock fatigue. I can acknowledge that they’re good but also that I don’t enjoy listening to it.

Really fun album. She has such an expressive voice, and the band was energetic.

Another great soul album from the 60s. I always love them.

It was good. Different but not unpleasant. I was entertained.

There are some really good songs on this album, and I’m positive if I listened more, I would grow to like them more. This style just isn’t in my current listening tastes.

Solid album.

First song (title track) is a blast from the past. Track 2 is not good. Ok every song has many tropes of 60s British music I don’t like - sitar, bingos, harpsichord, tangerine eyes.

Likes: laid back. Sounds like a bunch of friends jamming. Decent harmonies. Like less: instead of sounding like a mash up of genres, it sounds like they don’t know what they want to sound like. Some of the instrumental breaks aren’t very interesting. Some sentimental songs that were cloying.

Instrumental parts are decent. The lyrics are corny. Good background music. I’m not a fan of this type of funk. It was better than Shaft though.

I liked it. This is the first 60s British album I’ve heard from this that had enjoyable instrumental parts. Clearly because of Clapton.

These guys are better than most of the music I’ve listened to from this era. Some of these songs are great.
