Shadowland
k.d. lang
Enjoyable album, shined a lot of light on teacher of hers I had never heard. Signs of classic American pop country

Let It Bleed
The Rolling Stones
Classic stones, gimme shelter will always be a top track. Lots of hits, and not terribly long and drawn out.

The Band
The Band
Early rock for 1969, very influential stuff to a lot of people I’m sure. Wouldn’t find myself revisiting it, but a good discovery.

Prince
Great album, but purple rain is better imo. Second half of this album is better than the first.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
The Kinks
Super political which was cool. It’s interesting to see them do this after having their biggest hit. TBH I think this was better written/produced than the self titled.

Neon Bible
Arcade Fire
This album sucks, I hated it when it came out and I don’t like it now either. Bruce Springsteen wrote this album 30 years ago and it sucked then too. Aside from the Bob Dylan and Beatles, this band takes last place. Seriously?! An organ?! You got to be fucking kidding me, garbage

Buffalo Springfield Again
Buffalo Springfield
Better album today than yesterday! That’s for sure, I can tolerate Neil young in this setting. I think Stills and Furay keep him in line more, and don’t let him get all whistlly and weird. Classic rock album, that seems to have lasting effect on a lot of other albums.

Innervisions
Stevie Wonder
Loved it, never listened to the full album before. It paints a much stronger picture for sure. I wonder if frank ocean listened to Too High before writing Channel orange

The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground
I do enjoy the velvet underground, but I prefer the andy Warhol album and lou reed stuff to the Jesusy songs. Warm production fills out the old tape recording sounds, great beach day album where you can tune in an d out of it while listening to the ocean, so you can filter out half the b/s that’s on this one.

Hunky Dory
David Bowie
Some good, some bad. Not my favorite Bowie tracks, but a listenable album overall.

Haunted Dancehall
The Sabres Of Paradise
This album was awesome, I wasn’t familiar with this artist but I gotta say I was impressed. I really like the dub feel for the whole album, and the heavy electronics I’m sure influenced so many of my favorite artists.

The Joshua Tree
U2
I don’t love this album, but I don’t hate it. I’ll admit, it’s probably mostly because the singles are played out and everyone’s parents say this is the greatest thing to happen to music since the Beatles, but it’s ok.

White Blood Cells

This album rocks, Jack white during this time period was such a revival of the spirit of the guitarist. So simple but so strong at the same time.

Arrival
ABBA
the kings and queens of Europop, I mostly just listen to the hits if I’m craving abba. This is as a good release all around, even if the teacher stuff is a little dated.
