This Is Fats Domino
Fats Domino
While this isn’t an album I think I will return to, I still had a nice time with it. I enjoyed all the live instrumentals and the vocals, all of the musicians and Fats Domino are clearly very talented. I also enjoyed listening to it in the context of other music I’ve heard, I could hear not only the blues and New Orleans influences, but also how this played such a big role in inspiring the rock and roll genre. I also found it to be a nostalgic listen, it reminded me of the music my dad used to play me as kid.

My notes while listening:
Feels like a fusion of Adam and the ants, bubblegum pop, and the Beatles
Great guitar riffs, solid drum beat, I like the harmonies
I really like ‘my best friend’s girl’ (even though it’s kind of just Jessie’s girl)
Really enjoying it musically, definitely the kind of album where you tune out the lyrics though
Very much seems like a crucial predecessor to 80s pop rock
Overall really enjoyed this one, would have given it 5-stars for how much fun I had, but only giving it 4 because I don’t think it was really pushing any musical boundaries

Didn’t listen because he’s the worst and I don’t want him getting any of my money

The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground
There were some great songs on here, I especially liked Sunday morning (ofc), femme fatale, run run run, and there she goes again. However, I think it was a tad too excitements for my taste, want a fan of the screechy strings and the last song was one of the quest things I’ve heard in my life. This was another album where I mainly appreciated it for its place in music history, but I doubt I’ll return to much of it.

Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones
Had a great time with this album, lots of great songs, I think street fighting man is the best song I’ve heard in a while really loved it. My only critiques are that I think a couple of songs were a minute or two too long, and the more twangy folk stuff didn’t wow me as much as the more rock oriented tunes, though I still enjoyed them.

Possibly one of the worst listening experiences of my life. Extremely unpleasant, I get that they were pushing boundaries but still the lack of talent at their instruments really stuck out.

Had a lot of fun rocking out to this in my bedroom. Really talented instrumentalists and vocals. Basically every song was a banger. Only giving four stars because it didn’t absolutely blow my mind, but will definitely be revisiting

I thought this was a really solid album. Especially loved definitive gaze, my tulpa, and touch and go. Some of the stuff in the middle was less my taste, but I can definitely see how this was a very influential album. I found some of the songs were almost verging on a rock musical theatre sound, kind of like phantom and rocky horror which was pretty cool.

I appreciated this as a disinfectant aucun that inspired lots of other music, but want really my thing, also thought it was too long

In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson
This album was many things, genre bending, incredibly technically impressive, progressive, boundary pushing, unfortunately the only area where I found it lacking was being enjoyable to listen to. I understand that that wasn’t the point of this album, but i still don’t think I can give it any higher than 3 stars as a result of my personal music taste.

Just a really good time! Unusually I really liked hearing this as a live recording because hearing the crowd go bonkers reminded me how new and exciting this music was when it was released. My favourite song was probably I’ve got my mojo working.

Guero
Beck
The first few songs were a fantastic start, but I lost interest as the album went on. Some of the slower songs especially I found to be quite repetitive, and I think the album was too long. Not really my kind of thing, but I can respect his talent.

Technically very impressive but prog rock just really isn’t my thing. I also truly believe no artist is talented enough to warrant a 20 minute song sorry.

Great voice, but the music, while nice, isn’t anything particularly groundbreaking or memorable. Also not a big fan of cover albums, with you don’t own me especially I was just wishing I was listening to Leslie Gore’s version.

Chirping Crickets
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
The songs were fine, but largely unmemorable. I think I might be too young to appreciate music from this era, but I still thought that artists like fats domino and muddy waters had much more soul and musical talent, whereas this just seems boring in comparison.

With The Beatles
Beatles
This was a very nostalgic listen as I was raised on the Beatles, especially their earlier albums. I love so many of the songs on this record. However, there are definitely some weaker songs which prevents it from being 5 stars for me, especially compared to albums like revolver and abbey road.
