Kind of a mishmash here, from classic country to almost rock. I liked some of the songs more than others.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Nov 10 2025

They are clearly great at what they do. The band sounds excellent and tight. While I'm not so into jam bands, I can appreciate this. Would I listen to it a lot? Probably not.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Nov 11 2025

I guess it's impressive that this was a debut album? And I mean, we all love Paradise by the Dashboard Light. The ultimate in cheesy fun. And I always kind of liked Two Out of Three Ain't Bad. But it's just all so over the top. And why are all the songs so long?

Nov 12 2025

Too high-concept. It just made me impatient. I was kind of disappointed because I was curious about this band.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Nov 13 2025

I didn't know this album and I was surprisingly delighted by it! Love the cover art, and the album's title. I don't know a ton about hip-hop, but it's clear to me that this must have been pretty important to a lot of musicians who listened to it. And it was just cool and nice to have on!

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Nov 14 2025

A super solid live album. I was a fan when I was 10ish or so! Good band.

The Cars by The Cars
Nov 17 2025

I adore this album from beginning to end. I love the Cars. They were so ahead of their time. And this is their DEBUT album.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Nov 21 2025

Just didn't really do anything for me.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Nov 22 2025

Amazing album by an incredible, influential musician. RIP, Elliott.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Nov 23 2025

What’s not to like? Fun psychedelic pop. This Will Be Our Year is a favorite of mine.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Nov 24 2025

I was just never really into them. I liked Time Clock of the Heart from their first album. But I never bought that album, or this. I found Karma Chameleon annoying. Ok radio music but never one of my bands.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Nov 26 2025

Not my favorite of his, but he’s an amazing storyteller.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Nov 28 2025
Nov 30 2025

Hadn’t heard this band before. Liked his voice, and the first few songs, but then they all started running together a bit.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Dec 01 2025

Fun!

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Dec 07 2025

Not really my vibe, though pretty good for what it is. I really hate that Just Like Heaven cover though. So it’s a 2.
