A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

This was a new one to me. Enjoyed it - fun blast from the past, and at the end of the album, Apple Music segued right to the Breeders.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

5/5

I’m limited to 5 stars? Can I rate it 6 or 10? My goodness what an album. Sleeper is Jigsaw Puzzle- man that’s a tune. My guys at their height. Love the blues undertones.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

Amazing to listen and think about Brian crafting it all- Listening for what he was trying to tell us.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

A nice nostalgia trip. Not sure I've ever listened to the whole album. Would give it a 3.5 if I could- would not kick it out of my CD player

Caetano Veloso

4/5

New to me, very nice vibe. Great Sunday brunch tunes

Live!

Fela Kuti

5/5

Man oh man- Fela and Ginger Baker live? Yes please. Fuck yes, loved it. Biggs, if it’s too Afro pop, you’re too white!

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

3/5

Not really my jam, but game respect game. Solid album

John Prine

5/5

I have largely skipped Prine over the years, first time listening to a full album. Man that was an oversight. I fully recognize why he gets the respect he does. This will be added to the vinyl stacks.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Great for its time and what it was, not for me though

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Fun House

The Stooges

4/5

So I’ve really enjoyed this in the past, but for done reason didn’t hit this time. Still giving it a 4

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

4/5

Gotta say I liked this one- Ali Farka Toure, for sure- Ry Cooder? I’m a bit mixed, but this combo worked nicely. Would own on vinyl

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Was very nice to revisit this one. Back in the day I had a phone card in the name of Aladdin Sane. Phone cards. lol

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Radiohead bring so much to the table, this is no exception

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

If the Misfits tried to make pop songs. Said lovingly.

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

4/5

Classic- loved it.

Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

He succeeded in making music that has no soul.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

I have not paid enough attention to Black Sabbath. This is a fantastic album that brings so much more to the table than the hits we know (but oh those hits!). Only niggle is that I'd like a hotter mix- maybe it's my equipment, but if the guitars hit a little harder on a few tracks they would be devastating.
