Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jul 24 2026

Lots of echo on most songs. Some classics. Not too psychedelic. Not really my cup of tea. Came out when I was 7 years old. Not offensive, though.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jul 26 2026

Strong reminder of the Beatles. Part of the British Invasion without being overly played in my head. Glad to know about the Zombies now. I had heard of them - now I have heard them. I like the last track "Time of the Season", but I liked it better when Blake Lewis performed it on American Idol in 2015.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jul 28 2026

This is he heaviest metal I think I can enjoy. Axl Rose's voice is classic. Three big hits: Welcome to the Jungle. Paradise City, and Sweet Child O' Mine.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 29 2026

Classic. Slightly fewer major hits than Thriller. Still, one of the best from one of the best. Underrated Stunner - Dirty Diana.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jul 30 2026

Iconic. Hard rock. Not really my jam... but a lot of jams that were lots of people's jams. The title track, along with You Shook Me All Night Long defined a segment of my teenage youth. Hells Bells, Have a Drink on Me, and Shoot to Thrill were also on heavy rotation.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 31 2026

Painless. Innocuous. Forgettable with the exception of "Teach Your Children".

Aug 01 2026

I loved "Killer Queen". The rest, meh. Spotify had difficulty playing the album for me.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Aug 02 2026

Not my cup of tea. Strange. Too progressive.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Aug 03 2026

Poor man's Beatles. Painful dirge and wannabe feel to this. No thanks.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 04 2026

Trippy alt rock. Might have a few tiktokable tracks, but not for me.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Aug 05 2026

I know people like this guy, but he is just too into himself to appeal to me. Not my thang!

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 06 2026

Hardcore, classic old school rap. I'm sure this is required listening in some circles... not mine. Pass.

Aug 07 2026

Random Jazz as If I were in a Chicago club back room in the 60's or 70's. I'm not. And now I don't ever want to be.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Aug 08 2026

College frat party jumping around dancing. Goth, British, moody vibes. Not for me.

No Other by Gene Clark
Aug 09 2026

I've never heard of this artist nor heard any of these songs. I can understand why. Nothing special. Bland 1970's radio soft rock. Inoffensive. Unmemorable.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Aug 10 2026

A classic from a classic. But not from my experience or enjoyment. But it is OK.

Guero by Beck
Aug 11 2026

Just outside my wheelhouse of music I really like. Not bad at all. Great variety.

90 by 808 State
Aug 12 2026

Dancetronica EDM stuff. While not displeasing, it misses my sweet spot, Trippy!

Cut by The Slits
Aug 13 2026

What is this genre? Punk? Bjork? College girls dancing by jumping straight up and down. Experimental... or just mental.

Aug 14 2026

I'd never heard this album before, but I dig it! Danceable modern rock. Right blend of electronic and rock. Should be in my rotation. Winner!
