Liked it a lot, both the messages and musically

Enjoyable listen, not sure if I'll really be revisiting live albums but it captured the live energy well

Great listen, a lot of tasty funk, and I'm always a sucker for space-y themes like the UFO motif used here

A great time, a solid groove throughout and a nice inclusive message, definitely captures the Woodstock zeitgeist

I liked it. Nice and chill

Gorgeous listen, made me a bit misty at points

I liked the atmosphere, was harder for me to pay attention to the lyrics and did go a bit long for me

I love the mighty feeling I get from listening to Talk Talk, it had a lot of keepers

A very enjoyable psychedelic ride, though it was a bit of a letdown that besides the two super iconic tracks there weren't any others where Grace Slick was front and center

I knew about this group from the Birthday song but hadn't realized it was Bjork until now. Fun quirky little album

Lots of lovely songs and a few bangers. A few hokey tracks admittedly, but it still didn't feel like it went on for too long even with the over-hour length

Didn't really click with me

It took me a little bit to adapt to the more slow and somber direction against their best known earlier hits but I really liked it

It's weird that I hadn't listened to her beyond her biggest hits before given her famed Ronettes love (and of Motown), right down my street embracing some of my biggest music loves while also doing her own thing

Fun variety, I've realized over time that I find Queen consistently enjoyable but rarely find them mindblowingly amazing

The sampling of a fundamentalist preacher railing against David Booie and Cyndi Looper amused, beyond that it didn't leave a major impression either way

First time listening to anything by Nick Drake. Folk singer-songwriter stuff tends to be something I appreciate more than truly enjoy, still a pleasant listen and could see it growing on me with time

Can't go wrong with Captain Lou Albano's buddy. I was familiar with like half the album already since most of her big hits are there, the album as a whole was more of that Lauper brand of quirky fun and left me in a good mood. I think I like She Bop the most

Hadn't heard of the group before. I liked the blunt message which alas is still spot on today. Probably wouldn't relisten often given it was an album where focus was super geared to the lyrics but I could appreciate what it was doing

First time listening to the group. Lovely, Sandy Denny had a gorgeous voice

I enjoyed it, maybe a bit long but it was neat how everything felt connected

The nuclear weapon theme was interesting on paper but the album itself bored me

My first Motown album in this exercise so I am delighted. Marvin Gaye's divorce album (plus an outer space sex jam for good measure), some heavy stuff lyrically and always tasty musically, excellent all around

Simple and pleasant, doesn't leave any major lasting impression but her voice and vibrato are nice

My first instance of listening to a second album by a band during this exercise, I quite liked it

Serviceable folky country that was fine in the moment but no real reason for me to revisit. I liked "Fly By Night" the most

Three Radiohead albums in under a month of this exercise but the first listen of a super big one, rly enjoyed it

The name sounds somewhat familiar but never listened to him before. Legit really fascinating, ahead of a concert he was hungry, had a backache, and the only readily available piano was of poor quality. He still gave an hour's worth of improvisation that could work with the piano's limitations, to great applause. I love these "lemons into lemonade" stories so this definitely will stick with me

I'll be listening to stuff by him as part of the exercise but not beyond, regardless of whether I enjoy the songs. I did enjoy the album, my 60s brain focuses on the surprise Brenda Lee

Excellent and powerful listen

A second Marvin Gaye in the early throes of this exercise and I'm not complaining. All eight tracks are exquisite

I knew the two big hits. A cool ride, loved the organ effect

Fuck yes. Prince was cool as hell

It indeed had a "floating in space" feel which I really liked

Not all that into reggae and adjacent genres though it had its moments, I really liked the Concrete Jungle track

Before listening I had I only known Games Without Frontiers (and had no idea til now Kate Bush was the backing vocalist on it). I quite liked the ominous feel it had

Enjoyed it, and I appreciate there being a track named Heat Miser

Weird coincidence that this is my listen as there are multiple rain tracks and today was dreadfully rainy. Album was really good, loved the texture

Very good and a more intense sound than I was expecting

An interesting ambitious idea and had plenty of good songs, though the length didn't feel fully warranted

Some catchy songs, fun if inessential

So many of my friends adore Rush that I wish I enjoyed this more, it was good but didn't amaze me

It felt exciting at the beginning but more or less faded to the background

I quite liked it and how the album phased from a calm oceanic mood to a harder sound

Nothing bad but mostly just background noise and not really worth the two hour+ length

Liked it a lot, both the messages and musically

I remember hearing a few of her songs on the Women of Rock Sirius channel, not sure if it was any of the songs here. I liked it, some of the lyrics definitely hit

The full-fledged songs were nice and smooth and I particularly loved Creep. I could've done without the interludes, which were filler at best and mood killers at worst (the toilet one, eesh)

To the surprise of no one I've listened to it multiple times before, and one of the very few records on the list I own a vinyl of. Legendary

Reggae is hit or miss for me but I really enjoyed this one, easy to see how Marley ended up THE reggae artist

It was alright, got some chuckles out of the references in the lyrics, though I sighed at the "I'm not misogynist BUT" song

Enjoyably quirky, krautrock has been a neat genre so far

Had a bunch of bangers

I know them mainly for Love Plus One which is a song I quite like. The album as a whole was nice light fun

I knew the title track before. An excellent listen

Excellent Stones rawness. Saved every track bar the country variant of Honky Tonk Women

A bangin ride. Wasn't coming into this with high expectations given I'm not the craziest about the vocals on the biggest AC/DC hits but I ended up liking Bon Scott's vocals more

Never heard of this band before. Okay sea shanty stuff, had some catchy moments

Didn't leave a major impression, don't think I'm a big house person

Excellent bleak atmosphere

Funny coincidence is earlier today I listened to a doo-wop program that included the Penguins' Memories of El Monte, which was written by Frank Zappa. And there was a good bit of doo-wop here too. I enjoyed the album and its going from quirkier takes on conventional genres to full-on bizarrity

That was a great listen. Liked all the tracks and it was a powerful note ending with Wild Is the Wind
