A few songs are total cheese, but overall there are enough hits and just plain fun songs to make this album really enjoyable.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk

This Talk Talk album is so much better than I was expecting. I knew their big hits like It’s My Life but nothing on this album was familiar, and it feels a lot more “grown up” than their earlier stuff. The whole album has a really nice flow from one song to the next, and strikes a good balance of each song being just similar/different enough from each other to still feel like a cohesive work while not getting boring

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Interesting historically, but not my style musically

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival

A few filler songs up front, but this is almost their greatest hits
