Nilsson Schmilsson
Harry Nilsson
This was a fun listen. I got the sense that this was one free white boy. Discovering Harry Nilsson made “Without You” which has been heavily licensed and then also “Coconut” which Tyga interpolated for his first ever single, had my mind blown.
Favorite Track: Jump Into The Fire

Highway 61 Revisited
Bob Dylan
This man went heavy on the harmonica! I’m not sure about this album. I think I’m supposed to like this album because of the recency bias of the biopic but I can’t get into it. I can see how provocative this album was during its time, but I don’t seem to get it today. I’ll stick to Kevin Morby, today’s version of Dylan (complementary)
Favorite Track: Like a Rolling Stone

Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ok, so these boys are coo-koo! When Anthony Kiedis said, "ding ding, dong dong, ding ding", I felt that! Nah, but it's not a great complete album, but it's a 4 because of the certified hits on this album -- Scar Tissue, Californication, and Otherside...Come on, man.
Favorite Track: Scar Tissue

Axis: Bold As Love
Jimi Hendrix
Psychedelic rock is not in my wheelhouse but this album was damn good. Not because it’s Jimi, which he’s incredible, but because of the effects that I heard from the various tracks - it felt very much ahead of its time.
Favorite Track: Little Wing
