Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators

Interesting fact this is considered one of the first examples of punk rock! I got you babe is an interesting cover and the rest of the songs were 3.5/4 out of 5 to me overall. I liked reading more about the album on Wikipedia and think Dave Marsh may be a bit too harsh on his 0 star review haha! Happy listening all!

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Apr 07 2026

Interesting album during a down time for The Beach Boys career. Nothing outstanding to me upon first listen!

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Apr 08 2026

Music is ok, new to me band, not itching to dig deeper

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Apr 09 2026

Drums! I personally don’t listen to a lot of prog rock but enjoyed this album and may explore more of The Mars Volta in the future (added one song to Random Songs in my Head playlist on Spotify)! I like that the album is based on a short story written by the lead singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala!

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Apr 10 2026

Enjoyable album if you like folk/country! Interesting selection of writers/song selections! Linda Ronstadt sings backup on Shel Silverstein’s “Queen of the Silver Dollar”. A fun highlight for me! 2003 remaster album has a song titled Hank & Lefty, new to me and will revisit from time to time! I’d welcome more music by Emmylou if in the mood for some twang!

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 14 2026

Enjoyable reggae and you can never go wrong with 3 little birds! 🥰

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Apr 15 2026

Not my usual style of musical taste but I enjoyed this album and added Kracked to my Spotify playlist. I learned about “noise rock” from Wiki while looking more into this band and tried to notice how the songs fit into that subgenre while listening to the album. Enjoy and happy listening! 🙂

Apr 16 2026

I’ve enjoyed the Beatles and know most of the popular songs due to listening to classic rock radio through the years. That being said, this was a fun listen and there are a few songs on the album I don’t think I’ve heard before. I recently attended a George Harrison Tribute show in DC (Jackie Greene, Steve Kimock and others) and was happy to hear Within you Without out which was played at the show. I recall one of my favorite bands (Tedeschi Trucks Band) covers this song as well and will revisit the cover soon! The Beatles had a huge influence on musical history during and beyond their time as a band and I tend to appreciate learning more about music history and such! Happy listening all!

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Apr 17 2026

New to band, gave the album two play throughs during work, no songs really stood out to me but I appreciate being able to explore the music and the bit of information I read on Wikipedia about the band, this album, and the lead singer David Thomas. Unclear if I’ll revisit this band personally.

The Clash by The Clash
Apr 20 2026

Enjoying the sounds from the first song “Janie Jones”, not a huge punk listener typically. Fast songs with a bit of 50/60’s oldies style, it seems. Fun listen! I’d revisit this album and I’ve added 2 songs to my random playlist!

Moon Safari by Air
Apr 21 2026

I’ll revisit this album as I enjoyed the instrumental sounds! Wasn’t able to look into much info about the band or album while listening this time.

Forever Changes by Love
Apr 22 2026

New it me band! Easy listening album, lead singers voice and the musical sounds remind me of the Beatles. I added a couple of songs to my random songs list and enjoyed the album overall. Happy listening!

Apr 23 2026

Fast sounding punk album, not my typical selection but don’t dislike the sound! Recorded at Abbey Road Studios is a fun history tidbit! Not likely to revisit the album personally.

Black Metal by Venom
Apr 24 2026

Quite a fun album for me as I tend to enjoy thrash metal! New to me band and I may explore more of their music in the future. I’m curious how much they were on Metallica and similar bands’ radar due to similar type music. Happy listening!

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Apr 27 2026

I’ve enjoyed a good bit of Led Zeppelin in the past and this one is a solid album. Kashmir & Bron-Yr-Aur are standouts for myself. I don’t tend to gravitate toward Led Zeppelin’s music these days for various reasons, however I do not discount their influence on many artists or rock and roll as a whole. Happy listening!

Fragile by Yes
Apr 28 2026

Decent prog rock album to me, not a huge overran of Yes, but I did enjoy most of this album. I’d like some of the instrumentals to be longer but that’s the jamband / improv fan of me coming out. Happy listening all!

Apr 29 2026

Enjoyable first listen. I’m aware of Billy Bragg with his Mermaid Album / Wilco collab and enjoy California Stars immensely. I’d revisit this album and possibly explore more of Billy’s work. Happy listening all!

Apr 30 2026

Interesting concept album from The Kinks. Last album to have the original kinks lineup was an interesting trivia note for myself. Songs felt fairly quick and I was able to process some of the lyrics upon first listen. Not likely I’ll revisit the album itself or more of The Kinks music but I appreciate thee exposure and what I read about the album from Wikipedia. Happy listening all!

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
May 01 2026

Fun listen! I’m not aware of too much from Elvis Costello but I’d visit his work a bit more after hearing this album! Red Shoes was a highlight for me from the album! Happy listening all!

Boston by Boston
May 04 2026

Decent listen for today. I’ve heard most of these songs throughout my life due to classic rock radio and being familiar with Boston!

Sea Change by Beck
May 05 2026

I enjoyed the bit I read from wiki about this album and what Bwck went through for these songs. The Golden Age & Lost Cause were highlights for me. Unclear if I’ll explore more of Becks work but I enjoyed the opportunity and exposure to this album.

Crazysexycool by TLC
May 06 2026

Sumthin’ wicked this way comes was a highlight for me. Enjoyed the album overall and may revisit some of TLC’s catalog in the future. Happy listening all!

I Against I by Bad Brains
May 07 2026

Punk isn’t a genre I gravitate towards typically, however I’m familiar with Bad Brains due to them being a DC staple. Enjoyed the album and may revisit Bad Brains work in the future. Interesting to me reading about all the ways Bad Brains influenced other artists and the impact this album had on the music scene.

Raw Power by The Stooges
May 11 2026

Another punk album! Not super familiar with The Stooges work but enjoyed listening to this album while working on Friday. Raw Power was a stand out for me. Happy listening all!

2112 by Rush
May 12 2026

Rush!!! Enough said! Great album and enjoyed the listening while working! Happy listening all!

May 13 2026

I found out is a highlight so far and I’m familiar with Working Class Hero from Gov’t Mule/Warren Haynes. Enjoyable album from Lennon and I’d likely go back to some of Lennon’s other solo work!

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
May 14 2026

Quick punk album, nothing stood out personally to me.

#1 Record by Big Star
May 15 2026

New to me band but I was aware of the box tops and “The Letter” due to Joe Cocker. Easy listening album and I’d explore more of their work.

21 by Adele
May 18 2026

Really enjoyed listening to and learning about all the musicians / producers that had a part in making this album. Somewhat familiar with Adele due to her popularity over the past 15-18 years or so and like what I know from her music. Rolling in the deep, Set fire to the rain, & He won’t go were a few standouts for me. I’ll probably visit some of Adele’s other work and will keep some of the songs from 21 in mind as good listens! Happy listening all! 🥰

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
May 20 2026

I enjoyed the 2nd album by ATCQ What! & Excursions were stand outs for me.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
May 21 2026

Familiar with Donovan from Season of the Witch, rest of the album did not particularly strike any chords with me.

Low-Life by New Order
May 22 2026

Familiar with New Order due to Orgy’s cover of Blue Monday. This album was alright imo, nothing stood out overall but it was an easy listen while working on a Thursday!

Celebrity Skin by Hole
May 25 2026

Familiar with Hole but not aware of any particular songs. Easy rock n roll album to listen to, I’ll possibly explore more of Hole’s music in the future.

May 27 2026

Not a huge grunge fan but I did grow up during the era so I’m well aware of Nirvana. Plateau and Where did you sleep last night were standouts for me Happy listening all!

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
May 28 2026

Enjoyable listen! I know Spinning Wheel & You’ve Made Me So Very Happy and enjoyed the other songs. Good bit of Jazz influence / sounds here. I’ll probably explore more of Blood, Sweat & Tears work in the future.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 29 2026

Bad Moon Rising, Green River, Lodi….all classic rock song and have listen to them many times! Great album overall! CCR never musically imo!

Jun 01 2026

I think I’ll stick to the few popular songs by Fatboy Slim that I know! Not a fan of this album personally overall

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jun 02 2026

Quite lovely of a listen, unclear what they are singing about but nice background noise while reading. I’ll seek out the documentary as I’d like to know more about the album and how it was created. Happy listening!

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Jun 03 2026

Enjoyable album of traditional songs. East Virginia, John Riley, & Mary Hamilton were standouts to me. Interesting to learn Joan’s father had a significant hand in x-ray technology in the 1940/50’s.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 04 2026

Another CCR album! Sign me up! Travelin’ band, Lookin’ out my back door, Run through the jungle all great hits! Happy listening all!

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jun 05 2026

Solid album from the 80’s!

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jun 08 2026

Nice listen on a Monday at work! Very 50’s sounding musically of course and In My Bed & Take The Box were standouts to me. I’ll likely explore more of Amy’s catalog in the future!

Interesting new to me artist. No songs stood out in particular and wasn’t familiar with many names she has worked with while reviewing her wiki page.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 10 2026

Really enjoyed this album and will likely listen to more Chapman going forward. She’s Got Her Ticket & Baby Can I Hold you were standouts for me. Interesting to read how she was discovered and her journey with Brian Koppelman! Happy listening all!

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jun 11 2026

Not too familiar with Public Enemy before listening to this but I did enjoy the album overall and found the sampling information I read on wiki interesting. The album art work in history and meaning is interesting to me as well. Welcome to the terrordome & Fight the Power were stand outs to me. Happy listening all!

Kenza by Khaled
Jun 12 2026
Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 15 2026

Enjoyable listen! Sound of Silver & Time to Get Away were highlights for me.

The Cars by The Cars
Jun 16 2026

Great album with a number of classic rock staples I’ve heard multiple times

Jun 18 2026

Nothing stood out overall and I’m a TD bit familiar with the Byrds but don’t go out of my way to listen to their music

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jun 19 2026

Interesting album and new to me artist. I enjoyed what I heard but none of the songs stood out overall at first listen. I did find what I read on Wikipedia about Elliott Smith and his life interesting. Seems he influenced a number of artists including Billie Eilish and Madonna, whom covered “Between the Bars” Sad life ending story and seems to be another untimely death for the musical world.

Jun 22 2026

I’ve listened to plenty of Eminem’s music through the years and this album was an enjoyable journey today. Stan & Criminal were stand outs for me. Happy listening all

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jun 23 2026

Quite a fun album to hear during work yesterday (Monday) and Cosmic Dancer is a stand out for me. Get it on (Bang a Gong) is a classic rock staple and I’ve heard it a number of times through the years. I was pleased to see Rick Wakeman from Yes played on Get it on! Happy listening all!

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jun 24 2026

New to me music and wow what a fun ride! Deceptacon pulled me in right away and I throughly enjoyed the information I read about this album on Wikipedia. I’ll likely explore more of Le Tigre’s work in the future!

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jun 25 2026

Interesting fact this is considered one of the first examples of punk rock! I got you babe is an interesting cover and the rest of the songs were 3.5/4 out of 5 to me overall. I liked reading more about the album on Wikipedia and think Dave Marsh may be a bit too harsh on his 0 star review haha! Happy listening all!

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jun 26 2026

Somewhat familiar with some of Culture Clubs music due to listening to pop rock radio through the years. This album overall did not stand out to me and I’d be hesitant to revisit personally. I’ll stick with the popular hits for now although I did find parts of Boy George’s wiki page fascinating! Happy listening all!

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jun 29 2026

Stairway to heaven is on this album and if you are aware of classic rock in the past 40 years, you have likely heard this one multiple times! One of my favorite Zep songs (Going to California) is on this album even though someone told me “it’s a chick song” once 😂 Great hits and overall an amazing album, however if you want to learn more about Led Zep, look into their history with blues music and their “own” songs. Happy listening all!

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 30 2026

Been aware of Jurassic 5 for a while via What’s Golden and recently read more about Chali 2na after hearing his voice on another song and learning who he is! Enjoyed this album and would explore more of J5’s music! Happy listening all!

Tago Mago by Can
Jul 01 2026

Interesting to say the least, doubtful I’ll explore more from Can. Wiki info was semi interesting to me

Timeless by Goldie
Jul 02 2026

Interesting sounds! Mostly relaxing and reminds me of the pure mood albums I’ve listened to in the past Happy listening all!!

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jul 03 2026

Familiar with Fiona but not an overall big listener of her tunes. This album was enjoyable for me on a Saturday afternoon and I wouldn’t mind if some of the songs were on a random musical playlist or while entertaining friends or relaxing and sitting around. Happy Listening all!
