3/5

I'm not cool enough for Blur

Chris

Christine and the Queens

4/5

The global reviews for this are unnecessarily harsh! That being said this is extremely my shit

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

2/5

Absolutely did not do it for me, surprisingly. I felt like a need to be MORE of something – more glam rock? More theatrical? More blues-y? I would have loved The Passenger had I not heard it in 1000 commercials

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

2/5

Dorks welcoming me to the ren faire

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Hold me closer Tony Danza

Scott 4

Scott Walker

4/5

Groovy, man!

Pelican West

Haircut 100

4/5

Fun and funky. How is it that I’ve never heard of these dudes!!!! Obsessed with the way percussion and saxophone are used on this album Amazing band name

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

2/5

Proud of myself for listening to this one I mean, it is what it is

Spiderland

Slint

1/5

Moody in a late '90s way, I dig it although it’s not something I will return to

3/5

I know I'm not really supposed to actively listen to this, but I paid attention and it's great Feels like I should be in the cooldown section at a yoga class

Pink Floyd

2/5

Not. My. Thing.

One World

John Martyn

2/5

Would be massively improved with a different vocalist

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

2/5

Southern rock by way of The Strokes. Everything here feels very samey

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

An example of something I would have never listened to if not for this project. It’s wild how little I know about Willie Nelson. His 18th album???????

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

We are lucky to live in the same time as Trent Reznor

Gris Gris

Dr. John

1/5

Absolutely not my bag baby

Birth Of The Cool

3/5

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

3/5

Beep beep boop boop Would be nice as background music in a museum or something Great band name

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

I mean, pretty much exactly what I expected

Lost Souls

2/5

“Lost Souls is considered by many to be the best debut album since Oasis' Definitely Maybe” Who is this “many” Like the most boring Coldplay imaginable. Back third of the album is slightly better but not by much.

A welcome reprieve from everything else we’ve been listening to. I needed some funk Higher Ground and Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing are evergreen bops
