Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Dec 10 2025

I do love Sir Paul. Somehow, I've never listened to a Wings album, but I did know tons of these songs. A later, chiller banger I didn't expect was Mamunia. Sounds like Paul Simon was definitely listening to a lot of Wings pre-Graceland to me!

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Dec 11 2025

I'm happy for the nice San Quentin folks who got the reprise, but I don't think I needed it. Fascinating hearing "fuck" bleeped in a live context!

Dec 16 2025

It's amazing how Queen always sounds like Queen while having so many different sounds.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Dec 17 2025

Still sounds modern which is wild. Metropolis specifically sounds like the Fringe soundtrack to me (positive). It's the progenitor of a genre but still sounds like the genre itself.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Dec 18 2025

When I saw "toured supported by Soundgarden" this all made sense to me. Not for me!!

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Dec 19 2025

Yeah, this is just sick. I think I've only ever heard Shake Your Rump before. The texture! The production!

Smash by The Offspring
Dec 22 2025

I did not know just how much of Boston-area radio was Offspring. I have learned much.

Dummy by Portishead
Dec 23 2025
Dec 31 2025

Couple great tracks, but really washes over me otherwise. Lyrics are great but I would probably need like 6 more listens to get into them more fully.

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 02 2026

God the bass is so great.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jan 08 2026

A bit too easy listening for me.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 12 2026
Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jan 16 2026

Starts off strong then loses some momentum for me.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jan 21 2026
Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jan 22 2026

Will I ever listen to this again? Probably not. Did I find it intriguing and enjoy hearing the genesis of a lot of "noise" music? Yes.
