2/26/26 - Listened during "work". I've heard a lot about Ryan Adams, good and bad, over the years, but have never really listened to him. This is another album I would have really loved in college.

Top song: Oh My Sweet Carolina

2/25/26 - Listened during "work". This was so strange and catchy and not at all what I thought it was going to be. The first half was stronger than the second half but I could absolutely see myself listening to this again. By definition, that is a four star album.

Top Song - Sigourney Weaver

2/24/26 - Listened during "work". I really like the White Stripes but found this album to be mediocre. Not too much stood out to me as special, though I understand the ground it broke at the time. As it stands, this is middle of the road White Stripes.

Best Song - Now Mary

The Joshua TreeU2

Rated 10/10

2/23/26 - Listened during "work". This is my favorite U2 album and I don't really like U2. The radio hits are all classics but the album tracks are all good to great as well. Where the Streets Have No Name is probably the best overall song here with an iconic opening.

Top Song - Besides the radio hits, Bullet the Blue Sky.

2/19/26 - Listened during work. Have mixed feelings on it. This would be a perfect 3.5 in my book as I could see myself putting it on again if I was in the right mood but I wasn't blown away by it. I do not round up though so will remain a 3.

Top Song - Call the Police

2/18/26 - Listened during work. Probably would have loved this when I was in high school or college. Definitely feel early Death Cab for Cutie was inspired by this album.

Best Song - Never Said

Rated 4/10

2/17/26 - Just so weird. Listened throughout the entire day because the album is so long. I didn't hate it but I would never listen to it again. Feels like something that plays at the dentist. And I actually do think some of the songs are played at my dentist.

Top Song - Inner City Light

FuneralArcade Fire

Rated 6/10

2/13/26 - Listened during work. I have heard this album a few times before and never really understood the hype. I may have liked it more today than previous listened but I still can't give it more than a 3. I just find some of it annoying, and I used to really like this kind of music. Oh well.

Top song - Wide Awake (I do love this song)

2/12/26 - Listened during work. So many classics, its hard not to enjoy this one. Can't bring myself to go full 5 stars when most (all?) of these are covers but its an easy 4 star with a number of timeless classics.

Best Song - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (reminds me of Police Academy)

Slayed?Slade

Rated 8/10

2/11/26 - Listened while I did our taxes. Sounded like great classic rock to me, I thoroughly enjoyed.

Top Song - Mama We're All Crazy Now

The CarsThe Cars

Rated 10/10

2/10/26 - listened on way to work. Four out of the nine tracks are all timers. This one gets five stars.

Best Song - Your all I’ve got tonight

2/9/26 - Listened during work. I like the Black Keys and I liked this album. It faded a bit towards the end but still solid and something I would listen to again.

Top song - Tighten Up

2/6/26 - Listened during work. Not really my thing, even though its very Motown forward, but its fine.

Top Song - No Thing on Me

Queen IIQueen

Rated 6/10

2/5/26 - Listened during work in the morning. Was fine. Nothing very memorable but sounded like Queen.

Top Song - Father to Son

2/4/26 - listened on the way to work. Enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Would be great for a camp fire or Golden Hour background music.

Top Song - Man in the Shed

2/3/26 - Listened on drive to work. Really enjoyed it. Almost a 5 star album to me though probably would need more listens to officially make that call.

Top Song - Lust to Love
