Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

3/5

I should like this more than I do. The instrumentals are great but the vocals don’t work for me.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

Did not know artist. Don’t love genre, but a good record for that.

Close To You

Carpenters

Great voice. Great songs. A record of its time. #johnsvinyl

1999

Prince

His best record from a deep catalog. #johnsvinyl

Behaviour

Terrific record #johnscassettes

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

2/5

I mostly don’t care for the “song” fragment mode that’s on full display. The fully developed songs are pretty good & Frank’s voice is nice, but it’s just not my thing.

Vivid

Living Colour

4/5

a great mix of metal, punk and funk that only they could pull off. #johnsCDs

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

4/5

Powerful and profound. #johnsCDs

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Not in my top tier of VU records, but I love it regardless. Sister Ray is a thing of wonder and beauty. #johnsvinyl

Violent Femmes

5/5

This was a touchstone record of my college days when “the femmes” were a weird underground band from Milwaukee. I saw them in 84? in a Des Moines dive bar and many times since #johnsvinyl

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

5/5

A flawless record that I play frequently! It spans so many styles that Wikipedia lists it under 9 genres. #johnsvinyl

808 State

3/5

This is another group and record I had not heard or heard of. I would have loved it if I was in the clubs in those days

Horses

Patti Smith

5/5

A wonderful and iconic record. #johnsvinyl

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Epic is a great track but the album is weak overall. #johnsCDs
