Nixon

Lambchop

3/5

Very cool to start the journey with an album that dropped on Jan 1, 2000. Beautiful instrumentals from start to finish. Never heard of this album or band but we’re off to a solid start. Wouldn’t listen for the singing performance however. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

1/5

Not for me. dark gothic ambient sounding music that didn’t hit home.

Disintegration

The Cure

2/5

Not for me. dark gothic ambient sounding music that didn’t hit home. Better than Seventeen seconds tho.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

2/5

I wish I was more in the mood to listen to Opera Rock when I got this album but I’m not all the way mad at it. I’d be interested in revisiting this in the future.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Will give this another listen later but some really cool moments on this one and some others that were dragging. Favorite song by far was There , There.

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

Delight sounds and soul beyond comprehension. Some timeless classics mixed with some snazzy breakdowns. There’s almost always an appropriate time to play this album.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

2/5

I’m a sucker for some 60’s Pysch but that last song almost convinced me to never listen to this shit again. Which is a shame cause there’s some rockin songs on here.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Wow that intro and outro. So sonically different yet cohesively open/close this album. Everything in between to me was sort of a blur but not exactly in a bad way. Would love to revisit.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

So incalculably influential that I might’ve in head my gave this listen maybe too high of an expectation. A delight to listen to sonically but the lyrics and flow of the album track to track could leave more to be desired. The guitar on this album rips and it’s so much fun to listen for all samples artists have utilized for decades. Summer Breeze gets a huge shout out for being incredible!

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

2/5

I know Bowie has better than this.

Odelay

Beck

2/5

Meh

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t doing this challenge.

Common

4/5

What Kanye and J Dilla did on this album needs to be studied in textbooks.

Tidal

My first time hearing her work and I’m blown away. Had a great time listening and hopefully more of her work made the list.

Beach Samba

5/5

On my Mt. Rushmore of albums. If they changed the rating of this to 10 stars, I’d still want to give this one 20.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5
