Better Living Through Chemistry
Fatboy Slim
I really enjoyed this. Part way through the album it occurred to me that this sounded familiar. It reminded me of that music video where Christopher Walken dances. What do you know it's the same artist. I listened to this while working and it was great for that because there aren't any lyrics and it's pretty vibey.

The Village Green Preservation Society
The Kinks
This was a fun and enigmatic album. It just FEELS British. What must have felt extremely experimental at the time feels almost familiar now likely due to the influence this album had on music going forward.

Odelay
Beck
I thought this album was kind of 'meh' to be honest. A couple of times I thought "oh this is interesting" but other than that I don't have much positive to say. I don't think I'd listen again.

Here, My Dear
Marvin Gaye
He was clearly going through something at the time. But it hits all the soulful and funky beats you'd expect just with a bit of an edge.

Truth And Soul
Fishbone
This album was kind of all over the place. I think I liked it? At times I didn't. I'm still not sure. But there were definitely a couple of songs that stood out.

Walking Wounded
Everything But The Girl
The lyrics weren't all bad. But they weren't enough to save this album. It was difficult to get through. If I was in the backseat on a road trip with friends and someone had the aux and put this on I'd open the door and jump out.

Let's Get It On
Marvin Gaye
A classic.

Innervisions
Stevie Wonder
It's probably unfair to say that this was surprisingly good because obviously everybody (especially anyone watching Sesame Street in the 90s) is familiar with Stevie Wonder. But before this I don't think I could identify any of his songs. I certainly recognized a few on this album. And overall I can see why he was so iconic. Great album.

Now I Got Worry
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
This album was weird but I liked parts of it. I'd probably give it 2.5 stars if I could.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan is great and this album is no exception, but there's only so much you can listen to in a row.

Every Picture Tells A Story
Rod Stewart
Rod has a very distinctive voice and sound and that makes his music interesting. I don't think I have ever sought his music out and this album didn't change that but it didn't make my opinion of him worse.

Cosmo's Factory
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Loved this. Several absolute classics on this album and a few gems I'd never heard.

Scream, Dracula, Scream
Rocket From The Crypt
This album is not noteworthy to me. I listened to it but couldn't tell you anything about it, good or bad.
