The Bends
Radiohead
Sounded fine. Not sure if I’m just never in the right mood, but I just still have never understood why Radiohead is such a big deal. I liked this more than I remember liking kid A or ok computer, but I’m not really confident in that assessment

Blonde On Blonde
Bob Dylan
This just felt old in a boring way. Plenty of old music still feels fresh and alive. The Beatles still sound great. But this to me felt like an artifact from when before music got better. Some of the songs are good, and that is a bit overly harsh. Maybe was in the wrong mood, but I was caught off guard how bored I was for most of it

Birth Of The Cool
Miles Davis
Sounded good. I love jazzy music, but less pure jazz, but this was totally enjoyable. Nothing really stuck with me but I found it consistently enjoyable

The Low End Theory
A Tribe Called Quest
Is not in my top 3 tribe albums, but is still very good. Good vibes, sounds great. I like less than others, but not really sure why

Hot Rats
Frank Zappa
With how Frank Zappa looks and being weary of older music after being bored so much my bob Dylan, I wasn’t particularly excited about this… but I was very wrong. This absolutely rocks. Lively, surprising and chaotic, but also just completely pleasant start to finish

Imagine
John Lennon
Even though most inescapable Beatles songs still somehow find ways to sound fresh to me when listening to albums. However, other than imagine, this album is a bit simple and boring for me. I always figured Lennon was the one that worked less for me, which this mostly confirms. I get why people would love it, but I don’t need to ever hear this again

Ragged Glory
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Solid. Not really for me, but I found it pleasant enough. Other than Father John, which was difficult to get through (im sure many disagree but I can’t understand why), this was an easy listen

Stardust
Willie Nelson
I was caught of guard by how beautiful this was. It is cozy and sweet. Each song choice is great and this versions all feel unique and comfortable at the same time

Songs In The Key Of Life
Stevie Wonder
Great top to bottom. A lot of this is very famous, either in original form or samples, but still sounds fresh.

The Fat Of The Land
The Prodigy
This all sounds like it was from a video game based on the matrix. I was hopeful I’d like this, because I love good electronic albums, but I just don’t really like punky big beat/techno and so this isn’t for me. The second half is better but I don’t want to hear this again

Sea Change
Beck
Consistently pleasant but it didn’t stand out to me. Maybe I just wasn’t sad enough or in the right environment to fully appreciate. But as it stands I prefer fun/dancy Beck. I imagine I’ll listen to this more, although also might completely forget about it

Abbey Road
Beatles
It’s the Beatles, it’s great. It has very high highs, although does have some misses and is a bit scattered in a way that is more abrupt then compelling. Still great, but not my favorite

Movies
Holger Czukay
I’m not sure why this was on this list and I’m not sure how to describe it, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. It feels experimental in a fun/silly way instead of trying to be something, so stays surprising and playful and fun
