Abbey Road by Beatles
Aug 12 2025

Enjoyed it. Not the Beatles sound I expected to hear. Will need to listen again to identify favorites

So by Peter Gabriel
Aug 13 2025

Another good one. Interesting sounds and lyrics. Another I’ll have to comb through deeper to listen for favorites.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 15 2025
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Aug 18 2025

An all timer. No notes

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Aug 19 2025

A lot of familiar sounds. Cool seeing where they came from.

Protection by Massive Attack
Aug 20 2025

Kept waiting for the House theme song. Different album but an interesting sound!

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Aug 21 2025

Heard a familiar sample. Good album would be interesting to listen to prior releases to understand more of “how we got here”. Interesting sounds, some does seem to be reused on occasion but it doesn’t hurt the album overall. Very dreamy.

Leftism by Leftfield
Aug 22 2025

Interesting sounds. Not really interested in pursuing much further

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Aug 25 2025

Really incredible performance and a very interesting story! Will be the first thing I play in my new car

Young Americans by David Bowie
Aug 26 2025

I only made it two or three songs in. I appreciate that it was adventurous but it wasn’t for me

OK by Talvin Singh
Aug 27 2025

Cool blend of Asian influence and electronic. First track is a banger

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Aug 28 2025

Good sounding album. Saved to library

Sep 01 2025

Saved to my library. Should’ve listened earlier so I knew some songs for his concert!

Parachutes by Coldplay
Sep 02 2025

Great album. A lot of popular singles from a debut album. Music to get caught cheating with your HR director on an international scale.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Sep 05 2025

Lot of hits. The singles alone are enough to hold this album up but the deeper cuts are interesting enough to merit their inclusion. Like a lot of rockers of this era, they burned brightly but were not able to stay relevant with newer generations as different ideas came along and rifts separated the band members. One wonders how things may have been different for GNR if they had gotten their big break a few years earlier. Funny how reviewers dog on 50’s album when this has a lot of the same subject matter: drugs, sex, death, posturing. Saying the same stuff just sounds different.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Sep 11 2025

Good sounds. Kind of a big news day so didn’t listen too much…

Guero by Beck
Sep 15 2025
Brothers by The Black Keys
Sep 22 2025
Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Oct 09 2025

Whiggae…Britgae? Interesting sound either way

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 13 2025
The Doors by The Doors
Feb 03 2026

One of the albums of all time
