Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin
What am I gonna say? That I don’t like Led Zeppelin III? Like an insane person?
This album has more of a bluesy/bluegrass feel to it than maybe their other stuff. Lots of great guitar stuff going on. And Robert Plant is Robert Plant.
New finds/Standouts:
Since I’ve Been Loving You
Celebration Day
Tangerine (duh)
I’m glad this was the first one because I really do love Zep and I’ve been meaning to listen through their full discography.

Live!
Fela Kuti
I liked the style of music but it was a bit too drum heavy for me (which I expected when I saw Ginger Baker and Live). Definitely the kind of album I could put on for some upbeat, energetic background music. I don’t know that I’d listen to this particular album again, but I’d check out some of the artist’s other work.

Low
David Bowie
Immediate replay for me. Initial listen while I was getting ready to go out, loved it immediately but I feel it’s an album that needs multiple listens. It’s Bowie being Bowie in the weirdest and best way. I can’t believe I’ve never heard a single track off this record.
This was more of a 4.5 for me. Really wnjoyed, definitely will listen again in the future. This is a good one to find on vinyl.

White Blood Cells
The White Stripes
Sometimes Jack White’s voice got on my nerves. Some of the songs felt repetitive. The White Stripes seem like a band I should be more into, but I just don’t really feel a connection to the music. That said, it’s still enjoyable to listen to, it just doesn’t really grab me. I do like the guitar on quite a few of the songs. I don’t know, it’s good but it’s not my favorite.

Revolver
Beatles
I’m not even done yet and I already know this is a 5. Not a skip on the album. Love You To was a little too sitar-y for my personal taste. But who cares? It’s the Beatles. Do they have a bad song? No. I really enjoyed this album - a couple of my favorite Beatles songs are on Revolver. Eleanor Rigby gives me goosebumps every time, no matter how many times I’ve heard it. This album feels ahead of its time.

Cheap Thrills
Big Brother & The Holding Company
I am going to admit that at first Janis Joplin’s whole deal was a little jarring. But then Piece of My Heart starts and you get into it and you kind of start grooving. I’ve always loved that song and Ball and Chain and the rest of the album is groovy too. A lot more country/bluesy on the rest of the songs too. I liked it. And great album cover.

Home Is Where The Music Is
Hugh Masekela
Fun trumpet-y jazz. Jazz isn’t my favorite genre but I’m getting into it. This was a good one to put on and do some work.

Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan
Yeah I like this! I’ve never been a particularly big Dylan fan because I never really made the effort to listen to more of his music. But I’m getting a little more into folk! So I‘m glad to have listened to this. It’s definitely one I’d replay. Sounds like it would be good for driving down country roads with the windows open. I’m a fan!

Not a bad song on this. I could listen to this on repeat forever.
