The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
May 05 2025

Enjoyed. Would listen again. Surprised by some 60’s vibes. Stand out track Come Alive.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 06 2025

First listen and knew little. I’ll definitely return to this one.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 07 2025

I wonder why I never got into the 90's RHCP? I like this album but they often sound very repetitive and have to be in a certain mood to enjoy.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
May 08 2025

Every year or so something reminds me of this one and love coming back to it. Take Five - no. 1 jazz single of all time? So good!

In Utero by Nirvana
May 09 2025

Huge guitar sound! First time to listen to an entire Nirvana. Like the music but never really dug ‘em.

Metallica by Metallica
May 12 2025

Been a long time since I've listened to this album but it's timeless. All great songs. Production sounds so good.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
May 14 2025

Missed this on. Never heard of album or the band. Looks like Lazarus was a hit. A little too noisy for me. Some production seems a bit gimmicky.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
May 15 2025

Great album. Great voice. I got into her with Ingenue and never backtracked to this. Wish I would have.

May 16 2025

Not really the way I want to listen to Sam Cooke. The audience is having a good time but distracting to me. I see that there are three versions of this album with varying degrees of the the audience in the mix.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
May 20 2025

Probably first on the list that I don’t see a need to go back to. Most songs settle into a groove and don’t change much. Do like some of the 80’s inspiration.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
May 21 2025

I tried. Wish I could none stars. Not meaning it’s bad I’m just not a good judge with this genre.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
May 22 2025

They go deeper than I thought from just hearing the hits over the years. I feel like this has to be the blueprint for Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
May 26 2025

Like the diversity. Need to come back to this one.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
May 28 2025

Like the hits and the bass playing and sound in first half of album is phenomenal. Back half of songs don’t do anything for me.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
May 29 2025

Very forgettable to me.

Play by Moby
Jun 02 2025

I've never listened to much Moby but this is really good. Like the meditative ones that seem to be in the second half of this album mostly. Long!

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jun 03 2025

Glad to listen to this again. It’s been awhile since going in my classics playlist

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jun 04 2025

Doubt that I come back to this one.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jun 05 2025

Just not my cup of tea but I can find something to like in these sort of albums. Track Frontier Psychiatrist.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 09 2025

I think this creates the rock sound of the 80’s
