This is a solid album for sure. Great one to start my 1001 albums journey on. Obviously fantastic guitar, but the variety of styles and percussion is really fun. Near jam band, but a lot more structured.
Not bad if you're into that style of music. Good production, and allowing space to breathe. It's just not my vibe.
It was a pretty solid album. I would like to go back and give it a second listen to see if there are any songs that really jump out to me. On first listen it was good, just not my favorite or one that I would listen to regularly.
This is the epitome of punk music. It's raw but has a great rebellious energy and message, as well as solid melodies. It's not for everyone, but if you're into punk music then this is a great one to put on.
I really liked the first few songs, but the longer jam songs started giving me anxiety lol.
Loved this one! I hadn't heard of this artist before, and was instantly hooked with the first song.
Not my favorite album, but I can appreciate the art of it. Well recorded, and it seems like the product is what they were going for, just not my vibe.
I've never really listen to The Smiths before, so this was a good introduction. Not really my style, but it definitely sounds familiar and iconic for the 80s. Good knowledge, but probably not one I'll return to very often.
This was a fun album. It has a really good artistic vibe, but just enough weirdness to be concerning haha. I like that this album or band definitely have their own identity and it's something I could see listening to again.
I really liked this one. I might already have heard this one before, but it's just really solid songwriting.
I like this one. It's definitely Aerosmith, but more leaning into rock rather than ballads. Overall solid music.
This was a fun album, definitely not a ton of variety but for classic punk it's definitely a winner.
This was a fun one. I liked the mix of electronic music and acoustic players, made it sound much more "goal of the future" sounds.
I really liked this one. It felt like an early pop/punk album mixed with some 80s hair metal. The cover of War Pigs and the last blues tune really sealed the deal for me.
This was a great one! I have never really listened to Thin Lizzy specifically, so I wasn't expecting to recognize so many of their songs. This is great nostalgia music and just solid performance overall.
This was a decent one, nice old rockabilly sound but not something that really stuck out to me a ton. There was nothing that I thought was bad on the album, just not something that I typically seek out.
I liked this one. It has a lot of classics that I've known my whole life, but haven't really sat down and listened to the original album. Morning very different than what I expected, but it was pretty solid. Definitely more single hits than a full-scope album experience.
Did not love. I could see this album having more of a cult following, and there were definitely moments of solid musicianship, but overall it didn't feel up to par. It was an interesting experience, but not one I'm planning to revisit.
Meh. It was a little bit out there, but never really caught my attention. Definitely felt more art focused, which can be great, but not one that I'll likely be returning to.
This is a pretty solid example of early 2000s hip-hop. I recognized a handful of the songs and it was well put together, but nothing that really shocked or surprised me. Just felt like early 2k hip-hop. Good album, might return to for the hits.
I really liked this one. I listened to it twice, and their next album. It's definitely an odd one, but from a group that from their first album seems to have a solid identity. Added to my big list of liked albums.
This was a really cool album, definitely one to focus on and hear the connections and artistry throughout. A bit more rock and pop production (but definitely not pop), and some really cool experience throughout. I might come back to this one down the road.
This was a fun album, I'd forgotten about a few of the songs on here that I really like. Well done and a solid album overall.
You can't go wrong with Elvis. It was solid old doo-wop songwriting and I heard his version of Fever for the first time. This was a good one for an older crowd.
I really liked this album. It's solid Bossa Nova all the way through and just has a good chill vibe throughout, without being boring. Love the guitar/sax combo, but the whole group is great.
Loved this album. I ended up listening to several more Simon & Garfunkel albums after this one to get a wider view of them. I've always known of this group and a few of the hits, but never listened to a full album. I'm a convert, this is excellent.
This was a pretty decent album, but I never really felt like it got all the way there. It felt like it was building towards something, without a finale/goal. Didn't hate it, production quality was solid, but I probably won't be returning to this one.
This one came out of nowhere! I hadn't heard of Bert Jansch before, but I really liked this album. The history to it was really interesting as well, but it's just good old songwriting.
This was a fun DJ album for sure. Tons of samples and well put together for that vibe. I didn't even know that Fatboy Slim was a DJ, I just knew their hits.
This was an interesting take on punk music, definitely expanding the genre. I think it's worth a few listens to really get the whole experience, so I should return to it... But I'll probably wait for a bit for that.
This one was alright to get a glimpse of Don McLean, but I didn't really get captivating by anything other than the hits.
It wasn't really... Good. But at the same time, it also wasn't interesting.
Did not like. This was a super boring album that felt like it went nowhere and just dragged on forever. I'm sure it's great if you're into this style, there wasn't any bad musicianship or recording or anything, just very much not my taste.
This was an interesting one for sure! I've heard of this came, but never listened to their music. It's very raw but with skill. I could definitely see myself listening to this one or more from this band again.
Love this one! I need to give it a more thorough listen to try and catch more of the lyrics as well as the samples. Very cool piece of history before sampling was no more.
I really liked this album. Solid grooves, lyrics and hooks.
Can't go wrong with Elvis (until you can)
