Fav Tracks: **Mr Soul**, Broken Arrow
I definitely consider myself a Neil Young fan and own a bunch of his music but admittedly I haven't listened to much before his solo stuff. That said, this album starts off with a bang. **Mr Soul** is a Neil Young classic I know very well as it's featured on a couple of his Greatest Hits collections. It's awesome and nothing else on the album sounds like it which makes it a little weird to set the pace with this and then jump into a Richie Furay song.
I found myself liking the Neil songs on this album a lot. The Stephen Stills songs quite a bit. And with the exception of the funky Soul Train backed *Good Time Boy* the Richie Furay songs not at all. Overall the Neil songs sounded fresh and these other songs sounded very 60s which was fine (not offensive) just not so interesting... Good Sunday album though and nice to start here.

Fav Tracks: Heart of the Sunrise, South Side of the Sky
Apparently this Prog Rock virtuoso of an album was released in 1971 but you could've fooled me because it sounded really 80's to my ear (and not in a good way)... While I had never listened to this album there were 2 songs that were very familiar. Roundabout & Long Distance Runaround are staples on my local classic rock radio station (i95 FM). And Roundabout being the first song set the tone for the album.
These musicianship is highly skilled, but there was a ton of bad synth and noodley guitar work which frankly is not my bag. Ironically there were many elements here that reminded me of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard (who I love) but without the edge and that was my issue with it. Also felt like half the songs were instrumentals and my TBH i only really liked parts of my Fav Tracks (Heart of the Sunrise, South Side of the Sky) as both of those songs could have used a real haircut IMO. Now on to No. 3 !

Fav Tracks: Tombstone Shadow, Bad Moon Rising, Sinister Purpose
Frankly I haven’t spent enough time with Creedence and while celebrated I feel like they’re a bit underrated. The Apple Music liner notes said when they made Green River in 1969 they were at the “height of their powers” and to my ear that rang to be true. This album is incredible. Frankly I thought every song was pretty damn good if not great…
If I had one criticism of the album it’s that there’s not much innovation happening here. They’re all Southern rock blues based tunes but they’re doing it at a super high level. Sinister Purpose is the one song here where they seem to break the mold into something that almost sounds more mechanical and dare I say Post Punk-ish… I will be buying this on vinyl at some point

Fav Tracks: Mercy Me, What’s Going On
I’ve been looking at this album for years wondering if I should buy it on vinyl even though I had never listened to it. It’s easily considered one of the greatest albums of all time and it’s something I should like right? Well, I thought it was really good but frankly I’m not sure I would ever listen to it again…
First of all the production is quite impressive. I feel like Abbey Road inspired this type of album where the songs flow seamlessly into each other. Also, with Vietnam in full swing, Marvin’s approach to political commentary makes this one really special. Capped off with his lush voice and all the beautiful jazzy instrumentation it’s a graceful record. All that said, it’s something I can appreciate but not something I would generally reach for and that’s OK.

I’ve listened to this album a bunch actually. It’s not my favorite Black Keys album but Tighten Up probably my favorite song from them (if I had to choose). I said I would revisit the album because I do plan to buy this on vinyl one day. Waiting till the day I see it in the Used Bin for $15 bucks… But other than in a vinyl format I’m not sure I would listen to the whole thing without skipping tracks.
Overall, the album would benefit from a nip and tuck. Clocking in at almost an hour I would probably cut 4 or 5 tracks especially because there are a bunch of tracks that are doing similar things. The Black Keys are always a little one dimensional in that way but sometimes it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Should also be noted this album would play well at a backyard BBQ…🍻

Rating: Strong 4, Light 5
Fav Tracks: Bring It On Home To Me, Having A Party
This show happened in 1963 in Harlem (NYC). My guess is the crowd was 95% black (or more at that time) and if you asked anyone who went; it was probably the best show they ever saw. Listening to the recording you can feel the energy in the room. Yelling, dancing, drinking and twisting the night away was had for sure. I’m not a Sam Cooke aficionado but I know some tracks. Love Bring It On Home To Me and he seemed like a gracious host here garnering crowd participation and singing his ass off.
All that said, I’m not a huge live album guy unless the recording is really great and the performance is tight. This is not that at all. It’s very loose and there’s a lot of crowd noise which gives you a good feel for what happened at the show but takes away from the recording a bit. I did like the album better the 2nd time around and even dabbled in a 3rd listen and it kept my toe tapping. Overall while I could see my self snagging a Sam Cooke greatest hits this album is not something I would buy or probably reach for again.

I was definitely excited for this when it came out. I’m not a huge Fiona Apple fan but I loved Criminal and was happy when this came around (especially in the middle of Covid). Then Pitchfork gave it a 10 (yes a 10!!). Probably the most overrated Pitchfork review of all time. This album is very abstract. It takes many listens. Too many for me to love it but I commend her for going out on a limb. It’s layered, challenging, and not in the least cookie cutter. I actually kinda wish it was a little easier to listen too because maybe I would like it. There’s a lot of great here but it’s so left of center from a song writing perspective it comes off sporadic sat times. I put down maybe but there’s a better chance I won’t be going back to this…

Never heard of this band before let alone this album. I think based on the cover art I guess I thought this was gonna sound like YES or Steely Dan or something… It was of course neither of those things. Frankly I’m shocked this came out in 93. It had a very post punk feel to it. Very Joy Division but more quirky and not as dark. The album seemed to trail off at the end in quality but I also think that I might just need more time with it. Which is also why I said I would revisit. There are similar bands/albums I like better but I also think giving this one some more runs would be good.

Aside from Monday, Monday, California Dreamin’ and their cover of In Crowd I had never heard this album before. The Mamas and the Papas are a product for of the time. Feels like there are no original ideas here and it’s just a 60s (or at times 50s) pop album. The music is not offensive and I understand its place in time. These songs are a good backdrop for a movie that takes place in the 60s. Overall it’s fine, but unless I’m missing something it’s pretty uninteresting and I won’t be returning.

I don’t know… I never heard of this album or artist before.

Some cool acoustic guitar work with some atmospheric elements sprinkled in but I think if the music is gonna be this sparse the vocal needs to be more captivating. Maybe if I spent more time with it I’d find things to love but I got 990 more albums to go…

Was cool to see the reactions when I posted to #NowPlaying this Am. It was easy to see how someone could fall in love with this album. Dynamic, very operatic (like Queen at times) and also very very Bowie. Felt like Ziggy Stardust Vol. 2 in many cases. That’s not a bad thing if it’s done right and for the most part I’d say it was. Albums like this is why I’m doing this exercise. It’s a little over the top for me at times but that’s OK overall this album was fucking great. Wonder if these cats have enough good albums for a Discogs run? Lastly, feels like this album should’ve come out in 84 VS 94 but whatever I’ll take it…

File this under bizarre industrial album that would be cool to play if you owned a coffee shop and didn’t want to offend anyone with your music taste but also wanted to come off as avant garde. Lots of interesting parts here but the structure of these songs are so loose. A couple of them have no words too and would have been good contenders for our Discogs Instrumentals run. While I can appreciate this and thought some of it was pretty rad I’m not sure I would go back. That is of course unless I open up a avant garde coffee shop, which if I’m being honest I would love to do… So I guess there’s still hope, but the chances are slim.

Knew a bunch of these classic rock radio staples of course but had never listened to this album in full. I know people love Rick Ocasek and The Cars and I can see why. This album is pretty awesome. The vibes are good, the songs are catchy and even though these are pop songs there’s an underlying edge to them… It’s funny, I always think the yeah I was born (1978) was one of the worst years ever for music. I’ll stand by that, but this is a Top 5 1978 album for sure. Not sure when I’ll revisit this but it’s worthy, that’s for sure.

If you’re in West Virginia and you walk into a General Store and this is rattling through the speakers it feels perfect. Some good ole country boys, who love themselves some Jesus just playing some country bluegrass. And they’re quite good at it. Knoxville Girl is dark AF. Makes you wonder did these good ole christian brothers have something to hide? Or just putting it out there in the open??
All that said, while it’s cool to walk around that General Store take in some country tunes, grab a coke, some beef jerky and a turkey sandwich for the road there’s just no way this is interesting enough for me to revisit this whole thing again other than maybe a song or two.

I’ve never heard this album before but also I know this album…Ya know? Tuesday’s Gone is some freeway driving, hot as fuck, windows open, yelling lyrics at the top of your lungs type shit. Lynyrd Skynyrd is a bunch of rednecks; but maybe in the greatest way? It’s interesting because I don’t really associate with this lifestyle (being a Yankee), I don’t live in the south, but I can still relate and these songs are so badass no matter what Neil Young has to say about it. I listen to this album and all I can think about is how tragic Ronnie Van Zant dying is. These songs are so damn good. Also that guitar tone. And lastly…FREE BIRD. It’s so good it’s become a meme, but it’s really that good.

Alrighty…this album is NOT good. The best thing about this album is the cover art which is kinda cool but has some stereotypical 80s graffiti stuff on it which is pretty lame… I hate to say this, but this album was almost unlistenable for me. It’s early hip hop DJ work. Lotta record scratching and samples and frankly the songs are not good and for the most part nonexistent. There must be some historical significance to this album because It does not deserve to be on this list based on quality.

Frankly, I think I’ve heard this before? But I don’t know. Feels fresh. All I know is my wife loved this album but I never really listened to the whole thing. Now I need this on vinyl.
It’s albums like this that help my stance on the 90’s being the greatest decade in music history. I realize the 70s were great too but this album is so innovative. Beck was infusing, folk, Hip hop, rock n roll, RnB, trash rock and who knows what else to make something wonderful. i could trim a song or 2 here but it’s in masterpiece territory… It has pop appeal but it’s also weird AF. This album is fucking great.

I didn’t think I was going to know a single song on this album but upon listening, discovered “There She Goes” was very familiar. Not sure if I remember it from the 90s or the recognize it from one of the many soundtracks it’s graced (So I married an axe murderer)… Either way, that song is OK IMO but the rest of this album is very very good. I’m assuming this band was bigger in the UK than the states?
But yeah, that song doesn’t even really sound like the rest of the album which are all fun indie rock pop songs. Not much of an edge to them but well crafted. The most I listened to this album the more I liked it too. I said I would revisit, that might be a lie but I probably should.

A Rod Stewart album is definitely not something I would ever reach for and here we are… Cool thing about this album is Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones) basically plays on every track and helped him write the title track. Ronnie also produced the album which makes me think this is almost more a Ronnie album that Rod sings on. Rod has writing credits on 3 tracks here but it’s mostly covers. In typical Rod fashion he’s out here doing song by Bobby Womack, Bob Dylan, Elton John and more. Overall the album was fine. For a Sunday morning it was neither perfect nor offensive. Lastly, the artwork is quite bad… On to the next!

The Doors debut… Is it perfect? No…but it’s really fucking good. I grew up loving The Doors as a teenager. My mother saw The Doors play at my High School (Oct. 11, 1967). I must have watched Oliver Stone’s movie one thousand times (on VHS). And then at some point I didn’t like them? “Where’s there bass player” I would say… That was a horrible take. DUMB.
This band is great and this album is almost flawless. I could probably do without I Looked At You. The End is a little drawn out…but really it’s a monumental album with great songs. This truly is an album you need to hear before you die and before I do I will listen to this many more times.

I said earlier this is my 5th favorite Sabbath album and here I am giving it a 9. All the hits on this one. Overplayed and still just undeniably incredible. It’s pretty much flawless. War Pigs my favorite of the hits but it’s cuts like Fairies Wear Boots, Hand of Doom and Planet Caravan that catapult this album into masterpiece territory.
I listened to this on vinyl last night. I’ve now owned 4 copies of this. Once on tape, on CD and twice on vinyl. Scored a shitty $10 copy until recently my bro-in-law gave me a nice 108g reissue. Over the past 24+ hours we’ve been talking (and seeing) about how much what Ozzy has meant to us and the world and it’s paramount. But this album might even transcend that. It’s such an important piece of music history. Inspired countless bands and heavy metal sounds.
Damn Ozzy left us. What a legend. Love you Oz. Thank you.

Never heard this album but was really interested when I saw that it’s in the Apple 100. And frankly, as far as 60s soul albums go I’m not sure it gets much better than this. I’m also not sure how much I would listen to this again but if I saw it in a decent used copy for 15 bucks; I’d be hard to pass that up. After doing a little digging the one thing I found really interesting was that Aretha only had 3 writing credits on this album. And actually my favorite songs were written by Otis Redding and Sam Cooke respectfully. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by this based on how the music industry used too (and still does) work.
This being her tenth album I guess many of the first 9 were constructed of cover songs. That’s also something I don’t know. Either way, damn this lady could sing her ass off. I knew that, but when you listen to these tracks it’s hard not to be amazed.

I’m gonna start this review by saying I love Willie Nelson… I’ve seen him 3 times. I got up early Sunday morning Woodstock 99 to catch his set, saw him when he did the baseball stadium tour (early 2000s) with Dylan and recently at his Outlaw Fest (TBH though I was there to see Bob Weir). I remember being mesmerized in 99 by a blistering blues set as it was the perfect encore to Metallica’s epic performance the previous night. Frankly I was still high AF but whatever…
But every time I see Willie there’s a bit ion badass there. THIS was not that. This album was the toughest Easy Listening I’ve ever encountered. There was some good guitar work but overall it was so slow and so soft… I’m sure it’s great for someone out there are he’s a good singer but it’s just not for me. Sorry Willie, I still love you…

I realize this might sound insane but today was the first time I ever listened to this album in its entirety (twice+).

I really enjoyed the listens today especially the 2nd time around even if I did feel like I was stuck in a Peanuts movie for a little bit. One thing I liked about listening to this album was feeling like it was an interpretive experience.

Anyway this was more like a poppy, knockoff Oasis. If you’re a big Oasis fan you might find that repulsive but there was way more guitar on this album than I thought there was gonna be. With this album coming out in 97 the Oasis ripoff is probably just what the doctor ordered. All that said, while it wasn’t horrible it wasn’t great. It was pop-rock…fine.

In this edition of “It’s Crazy I Never Heard This One” Queen has always been very similar to The Clash in that I respect it, have heard stuff, like a bunch of songs but never dove in… So here we are this is the first time I’ve listened to a Queen album in its entirety. And, as expected it was great.
Very theatrical, incredible instrumentation, Freddie Mercury is truly one of one and Brian May is much heavier than I thought? This album came out in 74 and dare I say sounded Sabbathy at times? I didnt realize that was a thing with them. So yeah, Queen might be a little too theatrical for me in general but I also probably need more Queen in my life…
