This album is all over the place. There are syrupy 60s pop songs that I find boring and annoying. Tons of folk. In the Morning is a cool bluesy song that I surprised myself by liking a lot. I don't know what category Plastic Fantastic Lover belongs in but I like it. White Rabbit is so good. It makes me want to believe that they were tinkering with a bunch of different sounds and stumbled on that one. I love to think of them discovering psych rock by accident. I used to have this album on CD. I'd listen to it in my honda civic in high school. Pretty sure it was just White Rabbit and Somebody to Love though.

I don't think any band should be as rich and famous as the Rolling Stones. There are so many musicians out there and a lot of them are really good and a lot of them you'll never hear and a lot of them no one will ever hear. It's just easier for some people to make a whole lot of money by ignoring everyone else and getting us all to tune in to the Rolling Stones. Works the same way for Taylor Swift. Putting that aside, damn this album is good. I mean, it's really, really good. And I guess as the end of the day I'm just a basic bitch, because I like every song on this album. I stopped what I was doing at work on most of them to just listen. Sympathy for the Devil - never really listened to the words before. Sort of makes you think selling your soul to the devil is worth it so you can become Mick Jagger Jigsaw Puzzle - i love all the contradiction in the song. Factory Girl - I too want a factory girl

This one was a chore to get through. I had some visceral hate reactions to some of the songs when they came on. Workout Plan. I think the other was Graduation Day. I thought Gold Digger was on this album but I guess not. When I was in college I worked with this girl who would put this album on every time we worked together. I must have listened to it 50 times. I remember thinking it was kind of funny because she had dropped out of college. One time she invited me over for dinner. She was a big woman. After we ate dinner we sat on her couch and she took her shoe off and stretched it out across the couch towards me. I don't remember how I got out of that situation, but I remember the way she looked at me, with hunger in her eyes.

Led Zeppelin is kind of ambient. It's just sort of always there. I like it. But it was always hard for me to be really intentional about liking it since it was just sort of always there playing on classic rock radio or at my uncle's house or something like that. I know there are people who are big fans. I had to listen to this album a couple of times because it was really hard for me to pay attention to it. That's not anything against the album. It's just how I show up to Led Zeppelin. On one of the listens the song Tangerine finally broke through. Sweet little song rhymes dream with tangerine and then… is that a steel guitar? I love the country sound that sneaks in. I don't know that I've ever heard that song before but I'm going to listen to it again! Immigrant song obviously great and I’ve always loved that’s the way. Love me some forlorn Led Zeppelin songs. One of the things I appreciate about this project is forcing an active listen of an album like this. Ok so how to rate it. I have no idea how this stacks up against other Zeppelin albums. Is this their best one? Are we going to listen to II 500 albums later? Feel like I’ve got to reserve my 5s since I don’t know what else is out there so strong 4

bob dylan. pretty good. got some hits. others i don't know. will need to listen again.

very excited to see this one come up green day certainly took an awful turn. there was a point when you could not escape "lonely road." But that doesn't exist right now. This album is a moment of eternal summer. Adolescent pre-rebellion. Aggravated annoyance. The whole essence of being bored in your house while your parents are at work and all the things that go climbing through your head. my very first experience with this album was through a friend of mine. Instead of doing anything at school he would fill up notebooks with song lyrics. Sometimes he would give them to me. My parents found the scrawl of Longview in my backpack and I got in trouble. i listened to so much punk rock in high school. In the purity of that subculture i didn't allow myself to enjoy the simple pleasure of green day. they were too commercial and the music wasn't hard enough. I reformed my ways and came around to this album later in high school. damn i feel happy listening to this music. It's a little bit of pop and a little bit of punk but no so much of that combination that it becomes cloying. it's just really easy to listen to. I want to Karaoke Basket Case right now. i'm giving this album a 4. i just like the way it makes me feel.
