Classic. -"Welcome to the Jungle" isn't as heavy as I remember? Seems real pushed on high and mid-high frequencies? -"It's So Easy" is heavier than I remember. -"Nightrain" and "Out ta Get Me" feel pretty mid. -"Mr. Brownstown" sounds like Jack Black doing a GnR impression. "Yowza!" -"Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O Mine" still slap. -"My Michelle" is a sick riff. This might be the forgotten sleeper banger. The chorus isn't as good as the verse but not bad at all. -"Think About You" is mid but has a funny little jangly The Cure guitar part in the middle. -The final 3 tracks -- "You're Crazy", "Anything Goes", "Rocket Queen" -- are all fine. One thing I realize after listening to this again: the lyrics and vocals are my least favorite part. An instrumental version of this album would be super cool.

I adore this album. Probably my 2nd favorite Flaming Lips album (after The Soft Bulletin). Drozd is such an underrated drummer/musician. Fight Test, Yoshimi Pt.1, and Do You Realize?? are all S-tier. Yoshimi Pt.2 and Approaching Pavonis Mons are both great instrumentals.

Killer album. Standouts are Spanish Castle Magic, Little Wing, If 6 was 9, Castles Made of Sand, and Bold As Love -- all of which are s-tier rock songs.

I have to admit, I don't know this album nearly as well as I should, especially considering how much I love both Bowie and Eno. Breaking Glass has a great bassline. What in the World immediately went on my "Get Weird" playlist. The ambient 2nd half of the album is largely excellent.

Actually hard to find on streaming services, so I listened to 1959's Fats Domino Swings. Good stuff, I've heard most of these at one point or another. "Ain't That A Shame" is a standout. "My Blue Heaven" and "Blueberry Hill" and "Goin' Home" and "I'm Walkin'"are good. Longest track on the album is 2:46, gotta respect a tight pop song.

Another one I like but haven't listened to in full in years (maybe decades). Girls and Boys is, of course, a banger. The Debt Collector sounds like a Kinks track. Overall, solid album.

Never really listened to Abba outside of some unavoidable singles. I'm dubious... Yeah, I can appreciate the production and pop hooks but this isn't my jam. Dancing Queen does kinda bop though.

I've heard of White Denim but this is otherwise new to me. It basically sounds like what I think of 2010s "Rock" sounding like -- whiffs of Tame Impala and Animal Collective (yay) but also Hosier and Mumford and Sons and Avett Bros (less yay). Overall, fine.

New to me. Definitely feels heavily influenced by Dylan. Definitely feels contemporary w/ Jim Croce, Donovan, Cat Stevens, etc. "For a Spanish Guitar" and "Because of You" are good ones. "Where My Love Lies Asleep" is also good, and has some musical similarities to the Stones' "Sweet Virginia" (and this album pre-dated Exile on Main Street by 9 months). The cover of "Stand By Me" is a stinker, though. Overall, a solid 70s AM radio album.

There's a "Johnny Cash Live at Folsom and San Quentin Prisons" CD compilation that got released at some point in the 90-00s and is how I first heard this album. It's led to the two concerts/albums living in the same space in my brain, so it's hard to think about At San Quentin without also thinking about At Folsom Prison, and I'm fine with my headcannon being "Johnny's Prison Album". But if I have to think about them separately, I'd say that while I love this album, I prefer At Folsom Prison. This one has "Boy Named Sue" (which I adore, possibly my favorite Cash track ever) and "I Walk the Line". Folsom has a half dozen great tracks and Luther Perkins. But they're both great.

Fuck yeah. This rips. I'd prefer an instrumental version.

This is wholly new to me, I only have the vaguest recollection of even hearing of Calexico. I really like the arrangement and instrumentation; lots of great lap/pedal/slide guitar, which I'm a sucker for.

I love this album so much -- despite hearing it multiple times a day, multiple days per week, while working in a used book store in high school. The title track, Cecilia, Keep the Customer Satisfied, The Boxer, and The Only Living Boy in New York are all A++.

It took me a long time to come around to liking Neil Young but now I really do, and really like this album in particular. "Out on the Weekend" and "Heart of Gold" are the standouts.

I didn't much care for this when it came out and still don't. It's...fine.

This is great poetry and pretty good music.

Pretty awesome. Especially "Run to the Hills".

For whatever reason I never really got into this album back in the day. Live Forever is great. Supersonic is ok. Cigarettes & Alcohol sounds like a cover of Bang a Gong. A bunch of the songs drag on a bit at the end. There are some pretty great riffs.

This is causing me some cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, what a voice! On the other, the whole "Blue Eyed Soul" thing feels kinda icky to me in a way that Elvis and Zeppelin and Clapton and The Stones and etc. didn't vis-a-vis appropriation and repackaging black music for white audiences. Maybe because Dusty's feel more like straight covers? Still a great album but I do tend to prefer her original stuff like "Wishin' and Hopin'" or "Son of a Preacher Man".

Some good riffs but otherwise pretty unremarkable.

Great album. Life on Mars is a nigh-perfect song.

This was completely new to me; I've listened to some Mdou Moctar but otherwise never really checked out Desert Blues. It's cool.

Good pop album. Has some pretty hot tracks.

Chic's playing is the best part and there's some very sample-able bits but mostly it just sounds like disco to me.

One of my favorite albums; probably my favorite jazz album. Used to be my LSD comedown album back in the day, still puts me in a calm mood.
