This was a lovely time. Made me appreciate the poetry on his songs.

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 15 2026

Absolutely adore this record. Loved it when it came out and still like the melancholy

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jan 16 2026

Nice album. Was wonderfully produced and lyrically tight. A classic of the gangsta era.

This was a nice album. I had heard Smooth Operator. The longer this album went on the more I liked. It may be one that I come back to as I expect it is better on a relisten

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jan 24 2026

Destroyer by KISS
Jan 26 2026

Hate KISS. Put this off for a while and this has not changed my mind

Mar 09 2026

I like radiohead not one of their better ones but got better as it finished

Electric by The Cult
Mar 22 2026

Classic rock album. Made me think of Fieldy

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 23 2026

Ethereal at times. Can be shrieky also. Close to 3 but not quite. Might be worth a relisten

Superb. Great singer songwriter album.

Roots by Sepultura
Jun 25 2026

Not bad not my favorite but clear why they were ahead of peers at the time
