At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan

So great. Jazz is a music style that sounds so much better in a live foramt and this was truly magical

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 05 2025

Had this on vinyl in the 80s and enjoyed listening to the deep cuts that I haven’t heard in decades

Jan 06 2025

Absolute essential. I’ve never listened all the way through and am blown away by the sheer number of classics on this one album. Sheesh!

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jan 07 2025

Gorgeous, timeless classics. I enjoyed listening through during my work day and could see myself spinning this during a dinner party but not something I would listen to except on such occasions

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 09 2025

I am aware of the historical impact of this album for Elton John and enjoyed it as this was my first listen (other than the hit singles obviously). Not one I would add to my vinyl collection though it was interesting

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jan 10 2025

Her life story overwhelms her music for me and although her talent was so clear, I find listening to her difficult

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jan 12 2025

This is really interesting and I plan to listen to this during my work day on occasion

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 14 2025

So great. Jazz is a music style that sounds so much better in a live foramt and this was truly magical

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 16 2025

Elvis C is one of my all time favorite artists and this album is a top 3 from his catalog

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 18 2025

First full album listened though familiar with many of the tracks; great vibes!

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jan 19 2025

Brian Wilson is arguably the most important U.S. pop musical artist of the rock and roll era other than perhaps Elvis Presley and I had the great fortune of seeing him perform Smile live in 2004. Just great!

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jan 22 2025

This was a cool listen, totally unfamiliar with this album or this band for that matter

Jan 23 2025

Nope, not a fan of cowboy country. I was anticipating a different 1960s band called the Birds

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 25 2025

In ‘88 I was fully immersed in alternative so I missed this album and didn’t really discover Metallica till the black album. First time listen and man it rocks!

Kenya by Machito
Jan 29 2025

Fun vibes, not something I’d listen to regularly but great fun

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jan 31 2025

Beautiful and nostalgic for me. Can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve listened to this album and now I need to add it to my vinyl collection

Feb 03 2025

I mean there are so many iconic songs but as an album I feel like this meanders all over the place. I prefer Queen as a greatest hits band

2112 by Rush
Feb 05 2025

I love Queen and this album has some great tracks but it feels like it jumps into too many musical styles and is a bit of a mess

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Feb 07 2025

First end to end album listen but familiar with many of the songs. Good work day music!

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Feb 10 2025

good work day listen with lots of really familiar yacht rock feel good tunes

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 06 2025

First time listen - really enjoyed it
