Live At Leeds
The WhoEnjoyable 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
Some catchy songs, fun if inessential
