3/27/26 - this might have been my favorite album of the journey so far. All the songs blended together but I liked the sound and it was fun.

Top Song - no clue but they were all good

3/27/26 - listened while driving to golf. It was downhill after the first song. Seems like generic 80s music. Only giving it 3 stars but tempted to take away a star due to how poorly I golfed.

Top Song - Karma Camellion

3/25/26 - Listened at the computer. Was excited to listen to this album since I've heard much about Velvet Underground but have never listened to them. I liked it good enough. Definitely something I would listen to again but not sure if its an all time classic.

PS - Lou Reed will always be associated in my mind with the night in Baltimore where Pearl Jam "broke up".

Top Song - Beginning to See the Light

3/24/26 - listened while driving. Very Doors-esque. I liked it and would listen again. But I wanted more songs and less of the 17 minute title track. Debated a rating but going to stick with a 4.

Top Song - Are You Happy

3/23/26 - listened at the computer. I really like this vibe. My old roommate's favorite musician was Van Morrison but I never got into him. This I could see myself continuing to listen to. A number of classics and good vibes = five stars!

Top Song - Glad Tidings

3/20/26 - listened while driving. I do not like Prog Rock or Jam Bands. That said, I actually enjoyed this. It was not nearly as self-indulgent as I expected and went by fairly quickly.

Top Song - I've Seen All Good People

3/19/26 - listened while driving. It was fine for a genre I don’t really enjoy. Middle of the road.

Top Song - Slavery Days

3/18/26 - listened while driving. I liked it and it was a vibe. Some songs didn't hit me as much as others but seems like it would be good background music during Golden Hour or relaxing on the deck. Probably a 3.5 or so but will round down based on my rules.

Top Song - Smile Please

3/17/26 - Listened at the computer. It sounded exactly like 80s punk rock. I liked some of it but some of it sounded like noise. As it is exactly what it said it was going to deliver, I rate it middle of the road.

Top Song - Garbageman

3/16/26 - Listened at computer. Bjork is ugh. I've never understood her, literally and figuratively. That said, this is fine background music but there is no interest in every playing this again.

Top Song - Venus As a Boy

3/13/26 - Listened at the computer. It was honestly a bit of a disappointment as I do not know that much about Simon and Garfunkel and wanted it to be better. Also, learning that the second half is a collection of outtakes from the movie made this choice even more surprising.

Top Song - Voices of Old People

3/12/2026 - Listened while walking dog and driving to a meeting. It wasn't as weird as I expected. It basically sounded like a late 60's hippie album but in a different language. I wouldn't listen again but it was fine for what it was.

Top Song - uhhhhh

3/11/26 - listened while walking the dog and driving to golf. I didn’t really like it and am very interested in knowing why this made the list. Debated between 1 and 2 stars. The Nirvana covers were the highlight but only because I knew them, and the originals are much worse than the covers.

Top Songs - uhhhh

3/10/26 - listened while walking the dog. LIked this much better than I expected. It was fun and had me jamming out. Can't go the full five because there were no classic hits but a solid four that I will probably keep thinking about. Lil' Devil was copied by STP on Heaven and Hotrods, to an obvious extent.

Top Song - Electric Ocean, but enjoyed a number of them fairly equally

3/9/26 - Listened during "work". I really enjoyed it and some of the songs I did not realize were Janis Joplin. Specifically Cry Baby and Move Over. This is a classic that I would totally listen to again. Full Monty!

Top Song - Cry Baby

3/6/26 - Listened while driving to golf. It was fine but nothing super exciting. I did hear some influences on Pearl Jam songs, their more "punky" ones. Middle of the road for me.

Top Song - Mystery Achievement

3/5/26 - listened during a drive to a meeting. I enjoyed it but probably nothing I would listen to again. Some of the skits were unnecessary.

Best Song - Jenifa Taught Me

3/4/26 - Listened during work. I enjoyed it and was surprised I didn't know more of the songs. An easy listen.

Top Song - Care of Cell 44

3/3/26 - Listening while doing some work. I was a bit disappointed in this album given what I know about the Mama's and the Papa's. It was fine but not anything I need to listen to again.

Top Song - Monday, Monday

3/2/26 - Listened during breakfast. I owned this cd but don't remember anything about it other than the singles. Sounded like a 90s rock album. Was fine, probably another 3.5 album but as always I round down. I also always thought the lyric was "now your really naked" in Celebrity Skin but that is never uttered.

Top Song - Boys on the Radio (other than the singles)
