Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd
This one is just obvious. Good first pick.

Jan 18 2025
Deja Vu
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Good bass lines. More of a coffee shop vibe for me. I would have enjoyed the concert back in the day.

Jan 19 2025
Tusk
Fleetwood Mac
Just ok, though i’ve always liked the title song.
3
Jan 20 2025
Guero
Beck
No.
Played E-pro (itself 3-3.5, mostly from familiarity) and skipped halfway through the rest and closed it before the final two.
Not an album I would put back on for a reconsideration.

Jan 21 2025
Garbage
Garbage
Neutral on this one. Not adding any of their songs to my playlist but can let most play through. Maybe.
3
Jan 22 2025
Hysteria
Def Leppard
Something I liked more back when it came out but still not enough to have bought the record. I could still enjoy about half the songs turned up at a bar.
3
Jan 23 2025
Freak Out!
The Mothers Of Invention
Like a musical version of R Crumb comics. I like comics. I like music. But Crumb and this album are not appealing to me.

Jan 24 2025
Kollaps
Einstürzende Neubauten
I gave song one a chance and a few seconds from a couple others.
I couldn’t imagine what worldwide location would be its equivalent in 1001 Places to Visit Before You Die.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

3.5

Murder Ballads
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
One of my favorite tunes along the lines of murder ballads is Country Death Song by Violent Femmes.
I only like a couple of songs off this album and those had help from guest singers.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Not quite my style as a whole. A few good beats, but I like my rap usually a bit tamer, 80’s I suppose.

The Madcap Laughs
Syd Barrett
As a long time Floyd fan, I give credit to says Barrett for his role getting them started and influencing their work. I can go without his solo work, even with help from friends.

Feb 17 2025
Blood On The Tracks
Bob Dylan
