Off The Wall
Michael Jackson
Don't stop til you get enough is a VERY LONG opening track like good dont get me wrong but like.. please stop I've got enough. I don't want to listen to another half an hour of michael jackson now.
Luckily it goes straight into rock with you which is undeniable.
Get on the floor and Off the Wall are both absolute bangers i can't lie. She's out of my life unbearable I hate michael jackson's ballads his voice grates the shit out of me on them sorrrrryyyyyyyyy.
Last few songs are probably done a disservice by being toward the end. Burn this disco out is good I was just a bit bored of the motown/disco beats by the end. A me problem I'm not a big discohead. Even not knowing much about the MJ chronology you can tell this is like a big transitional album that was probably groundbreaking at the time and influential in a way that makes it feel kinda generic in places now. Shame that she's out of my life fucking sucks

The Clash
The Clash
Ooh the clash are a band I've always been happy to just listen to the greatest hits of so let's see what this bad boy has under the hood aye.
These songs are all so short and idk how I feel about that. Like it's not a bad thing but for example Whats my name could have just repeated itself for another two minutes and I'd have been entertained. I'm not saying they all sound the same bc they don't actually but it would maybe feel more varied if there were fewer longer songs but that's not very punk. I don't mind them sounding similar at the end of the day but it does kind of back up my being happy with just the greatest hits. I love joe strummers voice tho. Chelp away boyo.
You know what this is getting better + more varied in the back half. The bass on police & thieves sounds very fun. Also it's 6 minutes long so that's shut me up aye.
Yeah okay maybe I was wrong on the greatest hits point there's some good tracks on here. I'll have to listen again to see if the front half/back half split is as dramatic as it felt. This sounds overly critical i like the clash a lot at least on the surface level, i enjoyed this glad I listened

I Should Coco
Supergrass
Loading up i should coco straight after listening to lottery winners koko for the first time haha. It's gonna have to work hard to complete ngl I know one supergrass song and am ambivalent towards it.
BAM horrible histories theme . I know two supergrass songs.
I like all of these more than Alright so far.. I'm not going nuts over any of them but this is currently sounding like an album that hits on like the 6th listen
Ah there it is. Sticking out like a sore thumb. It is a perfect version of what it is tbf.
There's something old-schooly grungy going on here that is distinguishing them a bit from the most base britpop.. however i can draw a straight line from this to some of the worst 00s blokey pop but like in the same way that shrek caused the emoji movie. Not shrek. Parklife is shrek. This is like. Madagascar. You can tell im mostly just bored bc what the fuck am I talking about. Actually I'm drawing a line to the fratellis a bit and well. Shrek also caused the lego movie. I like Madagascar BTW.
Oh its definitely gonna hit on the 6th listen i just got to Sitting Up Straight and sat up straight. That's more the fuck like it.
Start of we're not supposed to is giving me misophonia summet rotten. The whole thing is. Is someone fucking chewing in the background. That's a shame bc its the weirdest song so far but I want to gip.
I'm gonna struggle to rate this before I've listened another 5 times I feel like I could really come to like it. V. Varied, a little heavier than my favourite britpop*, reminds me of moodier blur in places. Mostly on the bass which is a compliment bc cheese wanker is fucking good.
*my favourite and least favourite music is all britpop. It's not a genre so much as one specific edition of the brit awards (you know.)
What the fuck is this beatles ending lmao. Fair fucks I like this album. I'm gonna go for that 6th listen eventually bc it's gonna hit.

Harvest
Neil Young
I think this is the first one I know nothing of beyond Neil Young's name. Ten songs is a blessed relief after what happened to me yesterday. Also disclaimer I'm listening on my phone speaker bc my headphones aren't working
I do love a harmonica.
Oh this is nice. I wanna drive round in the sunshine to this.
There's a World is a bit much i didn't care for that one.
I don't have a lot to say lol it's decent but not really my bag overall. Like straight down the line nothing I really disliked nothing that stood out particularly. Just kinda nice idk. Preferred the first half. Maybe 'in bed ill at 7 on a sunday' is just the wrong context to appreciate it idk. I'm letting it repeat tho so what does that say. I do not know how to rate this. 3 it is.

Be
Common
I'll be honest it straight up didn't occur to me that there might be hip hop on this list I've had all old mostly white men so far. I only know common from that one song he did with Joss Stone lol.
This is good midday listening so far, GO! is familiar actually.
Oh i was having a great time and then Kanye rocked up saying Dave Chapelle's name. Ffuckin jumpscare. Ahhhhhh it's fuckin good tho.
Look i don't know enough about rap to analyse this too deep but I really fuckin like it. It's your world is so good man.
I'm not gonna let it repeat but I might come back and listen again in a bit. I need to remember that I like hip hop more often.

Group Sex
Circle Jerks
Now here's something I've barely heard of.
15 minutes! I might just listen to it on my way home
My phone died so I couldn't listened to it on the way home and I think I might have been better off driving to it...
This is musically really boring lol if you're making a 15 minute punk album you shouldn't be able to actually play your instruments. Like individually some of the songs are decent but like i don't wanna have to sit and read the lyrics to enjoy your shit. Also reading red tape are these guys tory punk. Blah.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Loving a lot of these songs. Some are passing me by a bit but mostly a sunny good time.
Tbh an early springsteen came on shuffle straight after this and I was like 'ah now this one sounds interesting' then realised what had happened so like. I appreciate it but ultimately too heterosexual #teambruce
Remember the first couple of days of this project when I was talking about basslines and influences and shit
Left the song radio on afterwards and I'm gonna say I prefer his later work when it comes up probably
