Have this on CD from back in high school.
Notable for me in past 1994 lists.
Have revisited Morning Glory more than this one in recent years.
Rock n Roll Star is a strong start. I remember why this hit hard in the early 2000s when so much of my music taste was shaped by the 90s.
Shakermaker is great! I forgot about this track. Gonna start a playlist of tracks that stick out from this listening journey.
Live Forever brings back fun Rock Band memories.
Each song here really is rollicking and infectious.
What a strong debut record!
At the same time, not something I would revisit top to bottom unless in a very specific context. Feels much more like something to play in the background for a 90s vibe than something to really spend time with and engage with deeply.
Once you're halfway through the record, it feels a little repetitive.
Cigarettes & Alcohol more annoying than I remember.
Married With Children still great!
Not familiar with this as an album.
Excited for some funk/soul!
Scanning the track list, I definitely recognize some of the songs.
Interesting to read that this was their 11th album.
Strong start with That Lady. Love the guitars.
Feels like it would fit the mood for summer BBQ/outdoor party.
Less into a ballad like Don't Let Me Be Lonely...
The vocals and musicality are so strong across the board. Even if I'm not into every song here, this is undeniably an album worthy of being on a list like this.
You Walk Your Way is great!
The one way this is similar to yesterday's album (Definitely Maybe) is that it feels like a vibes record.
Very excited for this one! I'm not terribly familiar with Mayfield's work at all, but I'm aware of his influence and happy to have the opportunity to dive in.
Starts off with some really funky bass and guitars.
His voice is phenomenal. Very cool too think about how this style has influenced modern R&B.
It's also interesting how the social commentary here still feels relevant.
The falsetto is really amazing on When Seasons Change.
There's less musical variation on here than I would have expected. It seems some of his other work is more funky/upbeat.
Definitely an album that I would revisit as whole more so than I would individual songs, but I think Billy Jack is the one I'll put on my 1001 Albums Project playlist.
Very happy I discovered this!
Nice! I don't think I've ever listened to this beginning to end, though I have often had Wild Horses and Can't You Hear Me Knocking in rotation.
Third entry in a row from the 1970s.
Very bluesy. Can see why this is a classic, though I am partial to Let It Bleed.
Wanted to give this a 4 but I think I'll reserve the 4 for other Stones records that I'm sure will pop up. This is definitely a 3.5
The Stones, for me, have some excellent songs but have never been my preferred brand of classic rock.
My favorite discoveries here are Sister Morphine and Dead Flowers.
Continuing the 70s run and my streak of artists I'm familiar with.
I had Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits on my iPod and listened to that a lot as a teenager. Half of this record is on there, but I've yet to do a full CCR record properly. I'm excited for this one.
Moreso than the Rolling Stones, this is totally my brand of classic rock.
I could listen to the instrumental bit in Ramble Tamble over and over again.
This whole record feels like outdoor music festivals, driving through Vermont or upstate NY, and drinking beer in the summer.
I see myself putting this on for any and all of those occasions and when I'm in the mood for blues rock vibes.
I know there are other CCR records on this list and I'm curious about where my preference will ultimately land because my favorite CCR songs come from Green River, but this album is at least a 4 for me.
Another artist I'm very familiar with, but I haven't gone much deeper than the greatest hits previously.
Love the opening track here.
I'm surprised by the edginess of Run Charlie Run!
The ballads are not to my personal taste, but I appreciate the artistry.
Papa Was A Rolling Stone is epic.
I am more likely to include some of the songs here on a playlist than I am to revisit this in its entirety very often. But the highlights here are really high!
Enjoyed this both less and more than I thought I would?
This is the kind of thing I'm here for.
Given my interest in concept albums as a teenager, I'm surprised I never heard of this.
This is probably the first album I've received that I have wanted to play again immediately after finishing it the first time.
Really great vibes for sitting at my desk working.
Combines a lot of things I really like -- concept album, film noir, film scoring, ambient/jazz vibes.
I definitely see myself coming back to this!
From an album I never heard of yesterday to one I'm quite familiar with today.
I got this on CD back in high school.
I revisit a handful of these songs a decent amount, but haven't listened to the album straight through in a while.
I've always enjoyed the blend of soul, jazz, and psychedelic that the Doors had in their brand of classic rock. And that organ!
There are definite highlights here -- Break on Through, Light My Fire, and The End (which is my favorite track instrumentally though the ridiculous lyrics take away from the overall experience for me) -- but each song plays it's own role in propelling the album forward and nothing feels like filler.
Definitely somewhere in the 4/4.5 range for me.
Most recent entry so far!
I'm only familiar with Cee-Lo's hits and some of the Gnarls Barkley songs.
I like the funky vibe, but wondering if this album needs to be as long as it is!
I recognize I'll Be Around. I didn't realize this was Cee-Lo. A great Timbaland beat!
I never realized Cee-Lo had an album that was held in enough esteem to be included in a list like this, nor that it would be this one without a real recognizable hit, but I'm not mad about it.
I'm enjoying this.
I have never really gotten into PJ Harvey, so I'm glad to have the opportunity to listen to this.
I had Stories from the City... on CD or my iPod years ago and remember enjoying some of it but never really going beyond that.
I definitely appreciate the 90s grunge/pink style on this and her whole vibe, but I don't see myself revisiting this very often.
It's interesting because I really enjoy Hole and Bikini Kill and other musicians that are of somewhat of the same ilk, but something doesn't totally click with PJ Harvey for me.
The cover of Highway 61 Revisited is very cool!
Wish it leaned more into the funky disco vibes that appear here and there, but I really really enjoyed listening to this and will absolutely be revisiting it!
The most recent album I've gotten yet. I was excited to listen to this in full because I previously never really gave them a chance, despite hearing and enjoying songs like Under the Pressure and Red Eyes on Alt Nation all the time back in 2015/2016.
Those songs, and many of the songs here, are enjoyable. Something just falls a little flat for me.
I'm not connecting in the same way I connect to some of the music that has clearly inspired this record.
All in all, a very pleasant listen.
Only knew this band for Red, Red Wine previously.
A lot more to often here.
A very pleasant listening experience.
Never heard of this and very intrigued.
If I was rating this on the music alone, it might be a 5. Unfortunately, Callahan's talk-singing style is not for me.
That being said, this is a super interesting album and I really enjoy the instrumental moments.
The White Stripes are absolutely in my top 20/25 favorite music artists of all time.
In the past, I considered White Blood Cells and Elephant to be their 5-star masterpieces and this one to be in the tier below.
Revisiting it now, I've changed my mind. This is the best of the albums I've received on the list so far and I think it's right up there as a White Stripes classic.
Sadly had never heard of this. Intrigued immediately by similarities to Nick Drake. Blown away by the combination of folk and jazz. My favorite discovery of this project so far! Will be putting this into rotation!
