I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

This is embarrassing but I’ve only heard Respect before- god I was missing out. The talent, the love, the romance??? Amazing.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Summer breeze was the highlight and I really loved the interview- I think this would’ve been 5 stars if I wasn’t comparing it to yesterday’s!

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

3/5

It’s cool to learn where a lot of famous samples came from! A little too one-note for me though

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

I can go either way on live albums, but this really added to it! I think I’m not a huge blues guy though. This was still really catchy and fun.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

Makes me think of summer, calling your friends on landlines, and what it was like to have friends and neighbors before the iPhone age. Also realizing the supreme debt owed by all the 2020’s hip hop artists I listen to.

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

4/5

I need a garage, and a car that I’m ‘going to fix up soon’, and a six pack, and the sluttiest little jorts the world has ever seen.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Sympathy for the Devil is probably one of my all-time favorite songs but the rest of this album didn’t hold up for me.

Metallica

4/5

As a metalhead this is foundational- heavy, skillful and powerful. It’s not five stars because ironically I prefer a lot of Metallica covers to actual Metallica songs; near the end all I could think about was Miley Cyrus’s ‘Nothing Else Matters’.

Play

Moby

5/5

Perfect balance of catchy and atmospheric! South Side was probably the first trip hop song I really liked years ago and the rest of the album 100% holds up.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

3/5

The difference between Van Morrison’s live and studio energy is really big- I think I prefer his studio albums more but this was still very easy listening.

Debut

Björk

2/5

Not liking Björk is my generation’s version of men not liking Yoko Ono…so it gives me great pain to admit I don’t really enjoy her vocals. I’m so sorry Björk your outfits are always fire though

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Perfectly fine Rock and Roll- a good reminder of why it was banned/had so many social objections at the time

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Very middle of the road for me!

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

3/5

Only knew them for the disco- but really enjoyed this one on the drive to work! I also told the really scary site super at one of my jobs about listening club and he sang me one of the songs off this album acapella. It was surreal

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

I feel like this is a fantastic album for a very very specific mood, but it’s too thin to have listening to it be your only activity. Unfortunately makes me think of the nonzero number of weird sexual encounters it has probably scored too

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

5/5

Everyone get more weird this instant

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

2/5

I usually really like this genre, but something in a lot of the tracks didn’t really hit for me. Skin has an amazing voice though!

Marquee Moon

Television

3/5

Electric

The Cult

3/5

Pleasant classic rock! I know I’m saying a lot of these are middle of the road, but once again this album was catchy and perfectly fine.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

4/5

Great album for desk work/studying! Not quite lofi but very easy listening- the kind of thing I want on at a coffee shop or maybe a club when it’s closing.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

Really pleasant! Made me think about the level of skill it takes to sit down and play a piano for this long.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

I don’t usually enjoy or really understand jazz, but this was very fun!

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

The big songs from this album are classics for a reason, but again I’m running into the ‘all the songs kind of sound the same’ wall.
