The Band

2/5

eh, didn't hold my attention

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Soundtrack to my adolescence. A classic.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

Not my favorite, but some great songs.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

I like this one, too bad it was ruined by some dang cruise line.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Fair, but not my style. Lot of talking?

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

A classic, really like this one.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

2/5

Kinda...eh. Not really my style, maybe too mellow.

Guero

Beck

4/5

Excellent work, love this one.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Meh, a little too mellow. I appreciate his contribution but not really my style.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

3/5

Love Bone Machine, this one was tough for me.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

A classic, really like this one. The soundtrack to some pivotal times in my high school years, holds up very well.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Quite like this one. Inspired me to explore their entire catalog.

Fever Ray

2/5

I see what they were trying to do but not for me. I like experimental and electronic but this just didn't blow my hair back

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

3/5

Pretty good, recognized the obvious, rest was decent. The lead singers voice got to be a little much by the end.

Play

Moby

5/5

Love it!

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

3/5

Chris

Christine and the Queens

3/5

Liked it more than I thought!

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

4/5

I quite liked this. Have listened to 'work it' a million times, but enjoyed a lot of the rest of it as well.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

Oh man, rolling into downtown Lincoln with this one playing at full volume. I loved the sound and I loved the unique approach to being cool. Holds up so well, just vibing to the great beats and nobody samples like the Beastie Boys. Would be tough to pick a favorite between this one and Paul's Boutique.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

Very drum 'n bass. Ok for background, nothing too crazy. Did recognize the band from the Trainspotting soundtrack.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

I can appreciate it, but not really my style. Not one I would have on regular rotation. Recognized Cry to Me from somewhere and then realized it was from Dirty Dancing.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Just looking at the red shirt first 🧐 Really like this one, been listening to a lot of Jimmy after the intro. Fun to listen to

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

3/5

I had this one on in the background most of the day yesterday. It has some good jam band grooves but nothing really jumped out at me.

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

This one didn't really do it for me. I'm sorry Mr. Bowie, I respect your legacy but had a hard time getting into this one.

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

2/5

Not my style.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

4/5

Basket of Light

Pentangle

2/5

A bit too renaissance faire for mlady

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

I think it is surprisingly musical, but too screamy for me. When I wore a younger man's clothes I dug it but now that I'm old it is a bit much.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Great one to revisit. Really like this one. Uniquely part of my DNA growing up.

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

Really liked this one. I did a little reading about how it wasn't commercially successful until it was remastered, very interesting. Takes me back!

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

2/5

I couldn't do it. Listened for 30 seconds and just wasn't willing to give it a shot. It isn't you, it is me.

Foo Fighters

4/5

I like this a lot. The story behind it was interesting too. Dave is a talented mofo, what a life. I really wanted to love the album but wouldn't quite go that far.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

I liked it. If I had been alive in the 60s I think I would really like it. Nothing really grabbed me, but I can appreciate the evolution of their sound.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

Ok, didn't grab me but Worth a relisten

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

I'd only heard the one popular song, but quite liked the whole thang.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

3/5

So far off to a good start. Music is Love rockin intro with some bongos maybe? Djimbe? Ultimately felt nice if a little predictable.

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

I would have said 3.5 if I could. Amazingly talented artists and easy to listen to, it is just that nothing really jumped out to me about this one. A few songs that I've heard a lot on the radio and really enjoyed, but I honestly don't see myself queuing it up for repeated listening.

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

3/5

Way better than I thought. Actually a fair degree of musicality there, sort of listenable and foot tapping in parts. If I would have encountered it at 14 it would be a different story, tougher sell at 51.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

All good ones. It is 29 December so unfortunately no additional capacity remains for listening to Christmas music. !RemindMe next Christmas.

Ramones

4/5

Stripped down and catchy. If these guys were in your living room you'd probably be a little uncomfortable but it sure is fun to listen to. Wish I could remember how this one came to me, I had the cassette when I was 14 or 15 and listened to it all the time. Is there some connection to Stephen King?

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

4/5

I enjoyed this one - definitely nice to listen to. Kind of mellow and dancy.

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

3/5

I could probably do this as I was watching a movie or a play or a shower with shampoo but it felt pretty over the top for straight up listening. As usual, I can appreciate the artistry but not going to make heavy rotation.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Part of the fabric of my youth, although I don't think I ever listened to this one all the way through. I dig it.
