Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

Talkin bout a revolution works. Fast Car slaps Otherwise pretty okay

Debut by Björk
Apr 12 2025

Interesting stuff. Not always great, but never dull

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Apr 13 2025

Like they’re on the brink of putting it together for a true hit but all the pieces aren’t quite there. Meanders at times making me wonder what they were going for and feeling like they didn’t know and didn’t get there.

25 by Adele
Apr 15 2025
Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Apr 16 2025

Cool enough to have on in the background, and interesting enough to listen closely.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Apr 18 2025

Definitely interesting and unlike really anything I’ve heard before. Not sure how I’m supposed to dance to this though

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Apr 19 2025

This rocks hard

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Apr 21 2025

Slow start with some solid keepers on a vibe album

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Apr 24 2025

Got myself addicted to the rush of this one

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 25 2025
Hotel California by Eagles
Apr 26 2025

2-ply super soft bullshit. And dude, Red Man is not the preferred nomenclature. Native Americans, please

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Apr 27 2025

Can’t really go wrong with this one

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Apr 29 2025

A bit all over the place for me. Lost is a good track that I can listen to multiple times, but the rest of it sort of doesn’t catch my interest.

Achtung Baby by U2
Apr 30 2025

Top 5 album for me. Not sure how I’ll pick a single track to be the top one, but here we go. So Cruel might have to be my darkhorse favorite track. It catches me every time. Mysterious Ways, though… More to consider Ultra Violet gets strong consideration Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World should be considered, but JUST barely out of top 3 So Cruel for the win

May 01 2025

Dig me some Dwight. Tough to go wrong with Streets of Bakersfield A Thousand Miles from Nowhere Buenas Noches From a lonely Room One more name

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
May 02 2025

Pretty lazy-riffic Will is My Friend ain’t bad Overall an enjoyable enough listen, but not wholly memorable

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
May 03 2025

Poignant Opening track is solid Leaving the Table is a gut punch and a goody Traveling Light prolly gets the nod

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
May 08 2025

Liked it. Will revisit later to select a single track

1999 by Prince
May 10 2025

Starts off with a bang BANG, and then just kinda drags on without much intrigue. Airplane sex, though.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
May 11 2025
American Idiot by Green Day
May 13 2025

All timer. Damn near perfect

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
May 15 2025

Serious cultural moment. A lot of good stuff here; hard to argue with a 4-star rating. Still, can only listen so much before needing a palate cleanser. Hand in my Pocket works best for repeat

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
May 16 2025

SO many top hits, and filler that’s good to better than good. I’m on Fire is a personal fav. Glory Days kills, and Dancing in the Dark, of course. Cover Me a darkhorse. But Born in the U.S.A. gotta be THE track, if one has to narrow it down.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

Talkin bout a revolution works. Fast Car slaps Otherwise pretty okay

Frank by Amy Winehouse
May 20 2025
GI by Germs
May 21 2025

Richie Dagger’s Crime: love the intro

Arrival by ABBA
May 22 2025

Some hits that are no surprise, and some not-good filler. Hits carry the album, of course I guess “Dancing Queen” would be added to the list

21 by Adele
May 27 2025
Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jun 08 2025

Good disc music. Great for work background

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Still like Help me Rhonda, but otherwise this just makes me feel full cringe. Musically impressive, sure, but Jesus

New Forms by Roni Size
Jun 16 2025

Meh, not my thing

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jun 18 2025

Not as bad as some would have you believe (JOHN)

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 23 2025

So-so. Some decent tunes, but some head scratchers

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 26 2025
Medúlla by Björk
Jul 10 2025

Not sure how I would pick a track off of this one to one come back too. Sorry Björk, not for me.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 15 2025
Timeless by Goldie
Jul 25 2025

Jesus tap dancing Christ. No. Just, no. Dogshit. Never again
