Revolver

Beatles

5/5

A solid selection from The Beatles discography. Not often my first pull, but that should not discount the goodness of this record. Eleanor Rigby- what a gem. I have heard this song a million times and it always hits.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

1/5

Nope.

Blur

5/5

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS- even with the US sports anthem classic, Song 2- which is, arguably undeniable despite its absolutely nonsensical lyrics- this record is such a vibe. I was immediately inclined to side by side this with Oasis. Much love to Country Sad Ballad Man. A true jam. I thoroughly enjoy the sequencing journey of this record. After not visiting this end to end in quite some time, I was tickled moving through these tracks. You’re So Great- another honorable mention! This may have also hit a little differently today since I just watched Damon on SNL with Gorillaz. 5 buckets of popcorn!

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

3/5

Lots of fun!

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

Very moody. I’ve always been told the greatness of Elbow. And this record certainly does shine in its own shimmering way.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Funky, good nostalgia ! I can dig it

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

It just hit about the right place and right time - late evening as I was winding down my day. I definitely enjoyed!

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

4/5

This is my first front to back listen of an Everly Brothers record. Are the lyrics bubblegum and the substance a tad watered down? Of course! But the harmonies- that stole me! Liked much more than I had expected!

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

4/5

Wow. Did not expect to enjoy this. But ya got me. Rod- you are the man!

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

5/5

This record rules. I first heard it at my old record store job and it always had me. Jangly. Rough. And melodic and fun as it gets!!!!!!! 5 stars forever

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

4/5

This took a few listens to get through- wildly interesting

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

4/5

I had no expectations or background going into this record. First listen- I was very pleased. Incredibly personal and wonderful lyrics. I did not put this next to a Czars record (of which it has been a while), but great to hear and great to learn about John Grant more after I finished listening. This one is worth a spin!

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

5/5

I adored Tom Waits and I have heard this a time or two- always a pleasurable revisit!

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

5/5

Excellent - first time listener and I will be looking into some more Hugh masekela !

White Light / White Heat

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Wonderful. Weird. All things I expect and have come to love about the velvet underground.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

This didn’t do a ton for me. I love garage rock- which this gives me a ton of those jangly, lo-fi vibes. This is classic psych rock and this should hit all the boxes for me. It’s just fine- don’t come at me dads!

Tidal

Fiona Apple

5/5

Wow. Well 1- as I was listening to Sleep to Dream, I learned she wrote this at 14?!!!!!!! Incredible track. Incredible artist. Totally took me by surprise - this is a new fav!

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

4/5

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

Magical. This record was sitting in my brain as some faded memory. I cannot lie that the length of this record felt a little daunting at first (just two songs- yikes!!!!)- but it was so impressively beautiful. Is this a divisive Miles Davis pick and the beginning of his electro era? Sure- but I was so on board in the first two minutes. LOVE! IT!

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

This album represents that 50s era swing/jazz era to a tee. I’m not necessarily mad at it, but I’m not necessarily brought in - songs are fun, have that Vegas jazz sense of humor, and you can’t not be entertained- but I won’t be making any argument for or against this. There might be some general bias in that my day prior was Miles Davis “In A Silent Way”…. There’s no way to equate either of these in any way. But it’s telling that I was already immediately ready to throw Miles back on and put this back on the shelf. I will say- “(I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead) You Rascal” may be one of the funniest songs I have ever heard.

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

5/5

It’s Britney- and it goes down smooth and sticky like a bomb pop on a summer day. No notes!

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

3/5

Freedom is undeniable. And this has its fun. But overall: a middle of the road 3

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

2/5

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

For most of my life, I kind of wrote this off. MISTAKE! This records kicks some major behind. Scentless Apprentice- you are a banger of a track. Awesome!

B-52's

The B-52's

5/5

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

3/5

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
