Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Apr 15 2025

A fantastic start for me, since I'm already familiar with at least a couple of the songs and know I enjoy their sound.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Apr 16 2025

I have left my body and returned to high school. Then "Liberian Girl" left me alone in a parking lot in a part of town I've never visited. (I do not recognise this and it's not a fave) Still, enough incredible music to make this a good listen.

Dookie by Green Day
Apr 17 2025

Some great songs, but I never loved the album as much as it seemed I was supposed to.

Apr 18 2025

This feels like music someone has poured emotion into. It's overflowing with sincerity and earnest angst.

Bossanova by Pixies
Apr 22 2025

Cecilia Ann - yes. Rock Music - ew, no. Some of the songs have good energy, some don't really do much for me.

D by White Denim
Apr 23 2025

One or two songs were enjoyable, but overall, not a favourite.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Apr 24 2025

Not loving it, but I can see what would be appealing to others. A very full sound, without sounding discordant.

Apr 29 2025

This is entirely new to me a few songs in, and I'm liking it. This isn't at all what I would think of were I to think of the Kinks. It feels like a bridge from the doo-wop, bouncy "oldies" to the fuller, more complex rock music of the seventies.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Apr 30 2025

First song sounds like the song you'd hear in an 80's movie while the plucky, irreverent protagonist lead guy is walking through the streets of New York, getting into various amusing hijinks. I'm not crazy about it. The second song is quickly confirming this is an album of music used to set the moods in various 80's movies.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
May 01 2025

Evokes Blue Rodeo, Great Big Sea at first. This is good for me. Overall, not bad, but it is probably not going to become a favourite.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 02 2025

I only know the obvious song from this group, so this is new to me. I don't know if it's the recording quality or just the performer, but I am finding the singing (and talking) very mumbly and difficult to understand. The album is fine, but not likely one I'll seek out again.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
May 05 2025

Starting off with 'Mama Said' is a strong move. Following up with 'You Don't Own Me' gets a 5 star, with the rest of the album having a great sound and showcasing an amazing voice.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
May 06 2025

I can appreciate the talent that goes into jazz, but it's still not for me. The music makes me anxious.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
May 07 2025

Not much is really grabbing me, but "Back to Life" is enjoyable in its familiarity.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
May 08 2025

Elvis is a classic for a reason, but i would argue this isn't the best of his stuff.

Slayed? by Slade
May 09 2025

Never heard of it, and the album cover did not make me eager to listen. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but that was a low bar.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
May 12 2025

Fantastic throwback right away in the first two songs. No, three. After that, it was fine.

Parklife by Blur
May 13 2025

Aaaa! Girls and Boys! That was a good time of life. Enjoyed the rest of the album, too. It has good energy and stays interesting.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
May 14 2025

I'm surprised at how much I'm actually enjoying this one. I would typically not think of this as my sort of music at all.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
May 15 2025

First thoughts on first notes - no. Three songs in and really, really disliking. This is going to be a DNF for me.

May 16 2025

Liked it better than I expected, but not something I'll revisit.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 19 2025

This isn't doing much for me. I'm finding it kind of boring, even if I can recognise and admire the talent.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
May 21 2025

Wow. I keep looking to see if this is still the album, or I've somehow changed what I'm listening to. This is pretty amazing.

Spiderland by Slint
May 23 2025

This is pretty boring. The last song, Captain, had more to it, but I'll not be listening again, probably.

The Score by Fugees
May 27 2025

The only song I really was familiar with was (of course), "Killing Me Softly" but I was very surprised to find myself enjoying this listen overall, since hip hop is definitely not typically a favourite.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
May 28 2025

Pleasant enough to listen to, good background while I worked and something I could see seeking out again maybe. But at the same time, it didn't blow me away, and I probably won't remember much about it later.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
May 29 2025

The epitome of blues-y. Mostly. Decent listen, not a fave.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jun 03 2025
Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Jun 04 2025

I dislike this.... so ... much. I could see this as maybe background music in a frenetic movie scene, but even then it just goes on too long.

Dummy by Portishead
Jun 10 2025

Totally forgot this existed but it pulls. Until it doesn't, and then just feels a bit monotonous.

Love some of these to bits, mainly because my parents introduced them to me way, way back. Others were just endured.
