i wanted to do a dark side of the rainbow listen so i wouldnt just be hearing this for the xhundredth time but the only way to stream was mgm plus and the library was closed... i guess its my favorite pink floyd its fine... fave moment is thensession vocal on great gig in the sky. will always fondly remember unpacking a collection with a curator and they were trying to ID a print and they went "should we google 'breathe in the air'"

finally some good music on 1000albumsgenerator.com

one unexpected thing that's happened since i started this 1000 album thing is i'm into nu metal now? ive been listening to so much slipknot. this is nice if not a little samey, maybe too emo for me tho. of course being an elder millenial i remember the hits and can instantly bond with peers over an unironic fondness for them, but they are hits because theyre pretty safe. out of a genre where videos were shot in torture basement sets and guys wearing horror masks jumped off spinning drum sets while pyrotechnics went off, why hang on the safe stuff

i remember listening to this in high school because it was on beck's list of favorite album covers. i like the weird jingle bits, dont really care about the normal songs. mostly remarkable in that going through this list with youtube music is making have a big bone to pick with deluxe editions. all these classic rock albums have them, and you cant find the original except sometimes through user playlists sometimes. picking all the extra takes and demos and alternate mixes out my queue i didn't realize that for this album's original thirteen tracks, the deluxe edition has ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN. why would anyone want to listen to this nine times? still less annoying than hearing baba orilley for the sevenhundredth time in ones life

kinda giving way, waytoo mild kurt weill or tom waits, theater but gumless. made me think about all the times ive put on dreichopfer opera or blood money on for other people, maybe this is what it was like for them. i asmire the ambition in this, the lyrics lost me a bit. i have a peeve for when artists try to write about ordinary people and it's too removed and comes off as a little contemptuous. it's worse when its men doing stories about "sad" women, the first track being the worst offender. and the music really didnt win me over. fave track oh california

i think one of the great appeals of the beatles story is they span the era before and after the counterculture movement, representing the change in the zeitgeist from a fearful and conformist postwar milieu to a hopeful era of possibility for a better world, when as thompson said the boomers "had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave." at least until "the wave finally broke and rolled back." also there's a transition era where the beatles were just the kinks. this album is a firm showing of the part of the 60s where everything still sucked. i cant stand hearing them do motown covers, guess some imitation of black america had to happen for the british invasion to come to be though

the guys that did another girl another planet made some other stuff and it's alright! fave track another girl another planet

1000 albums website gave me two elton johns in one week. neither was lion king. i was a teenager when almost famous came out, i never need to hear tiny dancer ever again

listened to this backround music ass album for FREE on a streaming service

some hits and lots of misses. missing the secret sauce (marr). like how bare the nutso incel lyrics are in this compared to smiths tho, the pathology of it all showing itself (complimentary). fave track the more you ignore me

i miss new york :(

scorpio is weird and fun, the message, and the adventures of grandmaster flash are divine but the rest was not for mee

was gonna give 2 stars because like there are for sure worse things out there and why not a little bonus for my funny memory of watching jack white get 86d from my work? but then that stupid fucking doorbell song got stuck in my head all day long. fuck this ipod commercial jingle ass album

this has really pretty songs and some kind of pedal alchemy where everything is like warm crunches and crinkles. look at the cover--two guitars and a pearl necklace! exactly! while not my most favoritest grunge album will rate this generously because a its an old fave and b this list really be like here's everything elvis costello ever did and for grunge no melvins. fave tracks sweet young thing and if i think

oh shit there's a horse in the hospital!

one of the projects that brought me into hiphop, burroughsesque and concept forward. i think making silly art about your inner fantasies is cool, actually.

fave track blue flowers

i really like the movie idk why i cant tolerate the album on its own

i could and do put this on all the time but felt weird listening to this in like about to rate the album mode... is it overly familiar or is it just missing something.... will continue to be a go to no matter what number i decide to give it tomorrow morning

fuck the 4th of july! fave track b.o.b.

why didnt more ska bands have a dub sound like this so cool

the real best divorce album is shoot out the lights by richard and linda thompson but this still rules da chain babey
