I can hear how influential this is and it kinda grooves sometimes. But I find the vocals a bit grating and overall it’s just not for me.

My absolute favorite Beatles album. Before the full on psychedelic wackiness. Exquisitely written and arranged songs and chill vibes (“Run For Your Life” notwithstanding).

Great more Neil Young, but now he’s trying to sound like Lou Reed. I actually don’t hate it.

Combining punk with Irish folk music was pretty ingenious and this had more variety than I would have expected. Wouldn’t listen to it if my own volition though.

My second favorite album of Bowie’s Berlin period (third, if you count The Idiot).

Excellent debut album. Takes a little while to get going though. I definitely preferred the second half to the first.

My sister took me to see them in Paris in the Summer of ‘96. It was my first ever concert and I was completely enchanted. This record captures all their ethereal majesty in its most iconic and accessible form.

Sly is that fucking dude.

When I was 13 someone told be I like like Steve Earle. Now over 25 years later I finally know what he sounds like. Not entirely terrible. I like some of the guitar sounds.

Underrated grunge record. Reminds me of the girls I liked in high school.

Weird how low key sexually aggressive some of these songs are though I guess that tracks with the anecdote in the top comment.

This record has my favorite Hendrix tunes on it, which are wonderful, but in between them is a lot of nonsense.

More fleshed out musically than his early stuff, but some of the arrangements are a little overdone. Amazing lyrical imagery as always.

Another fantastic fucking Queen record.

Thin Lizzy is a rock n’ roll good time.

I had only really known later Massive Attack. This is fun. More of a varied sound, with more reggae influences.

My favorite psychedelic album ever. Unfortunately spotify doesn’t have the tripped out philosophy behind each song from the liner notes.

Funny to think that a quarter century ago this was the undisputed number 1 record both commercially and critically. The flow is undeniable and the social commentary really was insightful at the time, but it’s fairly repetitive and I got bored halfway through.

I love this record. It’s not quite as musically sophisticated as her later work but is chock full of bangers.

Fairly interesting and enjoyable electronic music.
