Broken English
Marianne Faithfull
Not too familiar with this sound but it grew on me as I listened. Love her voice. Love her songwriting style, even if all the songs didn't land. The Ballad of Lucy Jordan is a banger. Second half kinda dragged. Still a good album.

Green Onions
Booker T. & The MG's
Fun album but a little monotonous. A long 35 minutes. The organ is probably my favorite instrument but there's a reason it's a supporting character.

Court And Spark
Joni Mitchell
It's a 70s Joni Mitchell album so of course I liked it. The middle is a little cruise controly, but still a really good album.

Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division
Banger. Listened to it in high school and didn't really get it but I've seen the light. New Dawn Fades is incredible.

Great singer/songwriter album. I wish she took some more chances with the production, but I liked it!

Hard Again
Muddy Waters
Great musicianship and a fun time but I don't think any blues song needs to be more than five minutes long.

Pieces Of The Sky
Emmylou Harris
She has a beautiful voice but these songs weren't very interesting.

The Stranger
Billy Joel
Yeahhh this deserves the "one of the best albums ever" acclaim. Damn near perfect until the last two songs.

She's one of the best vocalists ever. Every recording of her's is a treasure.

It was cool. I expected some more charisma from Meth.

Surfer Rosa
Pixies
I've listened to this album twice before and thought it was bad both times. They kinda sold me this time. But not all the way. There are still moments when they sound like the shitty basement band at a college house party. But I've also been randomly saying "Your bone's got a little machiiiiiiine" all day. Good album.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Incredible album. At least 30% of it is really depressing but at the end I always think, "That was a lot of fun, let's do it again." It's not perfect and kind of drags at times but I don't care. It's one of my favorite artists ever right at the beginning of his peak. Play 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere' at my funeral.
