In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jul 19 2025

Excellent album - such emotional range. Some of my top songs by Radiohead easily. Solid. Both a moment in time and somehow timeless feeling simultaneously.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 22 2025

I appreciate it as a piece of art... that doesn't particularly resonate with me. Free Money was my favorite track. There's a lot going on below the surface here. Would be interesting to do a deep dive into Patti's life and the context in which she was writing? and performing these songs.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 23 2025

Lots of varied dynamics in this album. Impressed with the way they convey raw emotions so well. Favorite tracks: In the Backseat, Rebellion (Lies), Wake Up, and Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Love The Wizard - the harmonica, the drums - killer! This album feels lie quintessential classic rock. It makes my brain happy. Some of the lyrics are...interesting Love the bass line in Wicked World THIS is how rock instruments should be played. Bravo.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Jul 25 2025

So dramatic 😂 and so overtly and predictably sexual. Couple of interesting covers: War and Born to Run. Not bad. Love the 80s dance vibe.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 26 2025

Great album! Love the mix of fun, upbeat, feel good songs AND social commentary. I Want to Take You Higher was a favorite

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 29 2025

What a great album! Not a bad track in the mix. Feels like a warm hug for my brain. Lots of "known" songs, and a few newer to me ones that I also love. Enjoyed Almost Cut My Hair and Deja Vu especially.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jul 30 2025

Strange. Should probably give it another listen sometime. I like the tone of the lead singer's voice.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 01 2025

Great album! So dancy! Feel good music.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Aug 03 2025

Meh. Not super my vibe.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Aug 05 2025

Bouncy, upbeat, makes you smile. Feels like you should be in a crowded, smokey, casual, old school nightclub a buzz with friends and friends you haven't met yet. The type of background music you'd want for nearly anything from the mundane to the raucous.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Aug 06 2025

Silly, fun, and enjoyable! Took me a bit to get into it - the second listen sold me. Interesting to hear the Mothership Connection (Star Child), which has definitely been sampled by Dr. Dre/Snoop

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Dec 31 2025

Woof. Not for me. Probably would appreciate as background music for a high energy activity, but didn't jive with office work on a gray December day.

Jan 01 2026

I'm sure this whole album is amazing, but it was just too long for me to really get into. Found the sampling of other songs in the first chunk of the album to be amusing. Overall, great musicality and the amazing talent of Phil Collins, just overwhelmed by the content.

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 03 2026

Quintessential rock of the era - sex, drugs, freedom. Love the prominence of the organ and drum set.
