Abbey Road
Beatles
Wow, I’ve always been a radio guy or just listened to random streaming playlists and stations. I’m just now starting to listen to entire albums and it was a great experience and I can see why Abbey Road is considered one of the greatest!

Songs From The Big Chair
Tears For Fears
“Dad, what did the 80’s sound like?”
Here ya go. Listen to these 8 songs. It’s crazy to put out 8 songs and 4 of them are still be played and recognized 40 years later. I don’t think I would immediately think of Tears for Fears as an iconic band, yet they have lasted generations. That’s crazy to me. What a feat to put out an album where half of your songs have long term staying power

Surrealistic Pillow
Jefferson Airplane
Not necessarily my thing. But I always thought of Jefferson Airplane as classic rock (which they are) but I didn’t realize how hippie they actually were, which is a good thing. I prefer the female vocals. They are a different band with her singing. I need to look her up. I don’t know her name. Their name alone is worth a star before you even listen to the music. Surrealistic Pillow. Amazing title.

Endtroducing.....
DJ Shadow
I’m not familiar with this artist and so I didn’t know what to expect. But I really love this album. When I used to do video editing, I would listen to instrumental hip-hop a lot because it works so well as a background soundtrack. I can really appreciate the musicality of an artist like this.

Great album. I love these influential albums that I’m not familiar with but have inspired so many other great artists.

Purple Rain
Prince
I mean, it’s Purple Rain. One of the greatest albums of the 80’s and probably of all time. Prince puts everything into this album.

Better than I expected. I think of them as a one hit wonder, but this album was really enjoyable for my road trip.

Jimi Hendrix
Hendrix, man. A great classic rock album. You know someone is a legend when they perform a cover song and everyone forgets it was a cover and not their own original song.

Orbital
I don’t listen to this type of music a lot, so maybe that is why I felt underwhelmed. Some good beats and riffs, but just didn’t do it for me. However, I would like to see this band pay live because I bet it would be a great night!

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room
Dwight Yoakam
I don’t think I had ever heard one song on the album. And I’ve listened to country at times. This was not the album for me, but if you like grassroots, twangy country it’s probably 5 stars for you. So I give it a 3 and found the middle ground.

Hot Buttered Soul
Isaac Hayes
It was 45 minutes of Chef from South Park singing his heart out to teach me about life and love. The entire time I listened, I just pictured a montage with Chef being superimposed over Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny teaching them things they had no business learning.
Oh my god, they killed Kenny!

A fun album I enjoyed. However, after this one was over I went and listen to Funeral. This is a solid outing, but not their best work.

I enjoyed this so much better than I thought I would. Great vocals, beautiful melodies, and wonderful acoustic guitar. I can see why Joni is iconic.
