It's the Rolling Stones. Not their biggest hits, I only knew one song (Sweet Virginia). I'm not the biggest fan of the Stones, but it was alright. By the last 5-6 songs I was ready to be done. Just a lot of the same sound.
Middle of the road, 5/10.
Adele is so good. All bangers. Lots of songs I already knew on this one, but a handful of new to me. River Lea was so good, adding to my rotation. I could listen to this album over and over. 8/10.

Interesting wiki facts:
I was surprised how little of these songs I knew. Usually I don't care for a live album, but I appreciated getting his personality shown through this album. Laughing mid-song, ad-libs, audience reactions knowing it's a free prison show (booing the warden lol).
9/10.
favorites:
- folsom prison blues (have to)
- cocaine blues
- 25 minutes to go
- jackson (duet with June)
Interesting facts from wiki page:
- born just J.R. Cash (Dad wanted Jack and Mom wanted Ray, so compromised on just initials lol)
- thought to be the first American to learn of Stalin's death via morse code while he was in the Air Force
- died less than 4 months after June
- a new species of black tarantula was identified near Folsom Prison and named Aphonopelma johnnycashi in his honor
I was very excited about this one. It's no Meteora, but it's close. One Step Closer will always make me think of my brother's friend who always sang it when we played Rock Band. In the End is just so good. I still love this album and old Linkin Park, but honestly if I think about the lyrics too much, I get really sad about Chester.
favorite songs
- one step closer
- crawling
- myself
- in the end
fun wiki facts:
- They initially wanted to use the name "Lincoln Park"; however, they changed it to "Linkin" to acquire the internet domain "linkinpark.com"
- Meteora is named after the rocky region of Meteora in Greece, where numerous monasteries have been built on top of the rocks
- the band released an app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, a game called 8-Bit Rebellion!
It was fine, didn't love didn't hate. Probably wouldn't choose to put it on again.
I thought I would like this more but it was just fine. Wouldn't be mad if it was on but wouldn't choose it. Although London Calling has been stuck in my head all weekend.
Not a huge Cure fan, but it was fine. Kelly and I listened together on separate headphones like silent disco lol so that was fun.
Listened in the car on the way to Broadway for Christmas. Same kind of as The Cure, The Smiths have such a distinct sound and I'm not a huge fan. Again fine but I wouldn't put it on myself.
Listened in the car driving from Broadway to Woodbridge on Christmas Eve. I liked it a lot. Very distinct sound but I think it's fun. I would listen again later more closely.
Already knew most of these songs, so I liked it. Pink Floyd is definitely a vibe I have to be looking for, but when it hits it hits.
Enjoyable, but probably wouldn't think to put it back on again.
