Awesome start for me! Obviously Psycho Killer stands out but what a great album overall!
Fun! Has to get at least 3 stars just for Dancing Queen :) Some good dance-y songs; some questionable lyrics...but still very easy to listen to!
Just going to give this a 3, say I get why it's on the list, and move on...
A quick listen; kind of like one long song, but it's a good song! I only knew Blitzkrieg Bop previously, but the whole thing was fun to listen to. Will probably listen again.
I'm sure I've listened to this one in full at some point in the past, but it's been a while since I've heard anything other than "Fairytale of New York". Definitely danced around the house listening to it :)
Being raised partly on Irish folk music I really can't give it less than a 4. Nostalgia maybe playing into it a bit, but who cares!
The first one that I had heard none of before this project, and probably never would have tried otherwise (purely instrumental albums are definitely not my thing).
I know nothing about jazz, but I had a good time just taking it in! Not really for me but I appreciate the talent :)
The funniest possible follow up to yesterday's album for me - from 6 tracks 1h 34 minutes, to 14 tracks 15 minutes!
Listened to this several times because why not? Probably won't come back to it, but a good time anyway. Can definitely hear the influence they've had on some other bands I've listened to, which is cool.
I laughed at how far I had to scroll down through the discography to get to this on streaming, lol. Nice enough to listen to; I'm familiar with a few of the songs at least, and I like those... Another one I probably won't go back to personally, but I get why it's on the list.
Exciting! This was a band I had been meaning to get more familiar with anyway.
Already knew a few of the songs here (Do it Again, Dirty Work, Reelin in the Years), so those stand out for sure. The rest are good as well, although I did start to get a little bored towards the last couple of tracks, so can't give it a full 5.
Look forward to listening to more of them though.
Another one that I definitely wouldn't have heard if not for this project, and not what I was expecting. Really interesting to listen to, though I doubt I'll come back to it.
Haven't listened to this before, although I've listened to their album Urban Hymns and remember liking it a lot . . . Kind of surprised this one is on the list; it's fine, but I don't think it was particularly influencial??
I know and love a few songs from The Cure, but haven't really gone into their discography much... This one is not so much my thing, unfortunately. Really like a few of the songs, but the rest feels a bit too ambient, if that's the right word to use. I think I'll enjoy some of their later albums a lot more.
Hadn't heard of this one before listening, and had a great time with it! Not sure what to say about it other than "good vibes." 😊
Another one I hadn't heard of before, but that I mostly enjoyed. Anything with sci-fi vibes will usually get me, and a lot of the lyrics are (sadly) still very relevant.
May not listen again, but I'm glad I did at least once.
Another one I never would have heard otherwise. I was surprised this was released in 2002, as it sounds very early 90s to me; but that's not really a bad thing. Really enjoyed a few of the songs, especially "What's Golden", though I probably won't listen to the whole album again.
I was expecting this to be heavier for some reason, but happy it's not.
I heard a lot of 80s rock growing up, so this was fun and a bit nostalgic for me. Will probably go listen to some of their other albums now, so it gets an extra star.
Yes, I got a little high before listening to this one, but that's the case for several albums here so far... Honestly I'm not too familiar with reggae other than a couple of Bob Marley songs, but I did enjoy a lot of the songs here. Great for a chill evening at home :)
Not one of my favorite Beatles albums, but I assume I have others to come in this project.
I'm actually doing a little project making a Beatles "best of" playlist for myself. The only songs from this album I had added previously were "All My Loving" and "You Really Got A Hold On Me".
Listening this time, I really noticed how good John Lennon's voice sounds on "All I've Got To Do," so I added that one too :)
I probably won't come back to most of the covers, but it was nice enough listening to it again.
I like the White Stripes a lot, but I wasn't super familiar with this album, other than "My Doorbell". A bit of a mix for me - some songs I added to playlists but also a few skips.
The second Steely Dan album for me, and chronologically, which is nice. To be honest, this one makes me want to go back to the first album and make sure I actually did like it that much. . .
I didn't particularly dislike anything here, but nothing really grabbed me (except maybe hearing steel guitar, which I always love). Can't give it less than 3 because I don't think there's anything bad about it; I was just a bit bored.
Hadn't listened to this before other than the title track; not really surprised to find the rest of the album is pretty much 10 more "Highway to Hell"s, lol. Fine, but I'll probably just go with the hits if I want to listen to them.
I think I said something similar about the Frank Sinatra album, but this was pleasant enough to listen to. Not something I'm likely to come back to, but I did genuinely laugh out loud at "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead." I need a rock cover of that song to exist.
